Well I'm back to work after my day off and I must say, it was one of the better ones. I got a referal to get my wisdom teeth pulled (at least I don't have to pay to me maimed here.) and spent the evening with a couple friends playing Monopoly.
Yep, It's cheesy, (ooh, good story in a minute) but it was a lot of fun. We played for about 4 hours before we finally just stopped. It was obvious I was gonna win and it's only fun so long. :-) Instead of houses and hotels there are brigades and divisions, and the properties are all Army bases. Yes Trevor, Fort Huachuca is on there. A red one, right next to free parking. :-) The tokens are Army things (HumVee, boot, helicopter...) It was a lot of fun. I don't even know when the last time I played was. :-)
OK, Cheesy...There is this Sergent on my shift that we call Sam. it's short for his actual name that few can pronounce. He's Lithuanian. Anyway, he speaks good English, but it's still his second lanuage. Well we were watching Alex & Emma the other day up at North Gate and I said taht I liked the movie, but it was really cheesy. To which he responded "What means 'cheesy'?" Well, hmmm... How do you explain that one. I think he got is after a while, but it's hard to explain in proper English. :-) Sam is very cool. He's working on his citizenship right now and will hopefully take his oath soon after we get home. I was actually surprised how many non native Americans serve in the military. There are quite a few.
Anyway...that's all for today. God Bless!

I know all about Army-opoly, the other students all play that as if it was going out of style. The other game we play is risk. Global domination, or at least 15 minutes of respect until the next games starts. There is a waiting list to play RISK, but Monopoly is usually open because too many people don't play because too many people cheat. Nobody chats at RISK because there are usually too many people watching! Hey Bri, only 20 days until Graduation, then back to the real world! YEAH!!!
