So we had a great time last night at the UB party. We schmoozed with everyone. We met so many people and made some new friends. Plus, it was free food, great food at that. They had everything. Here are a few pictures of your famous friends in Aruba.

Koontz is out of the Pro freeroll, finished in the 50's or 60's when he pushed with 77 and got called by 1010. Good warmup for winning the million later this week I guess. Now we are gonna wait on Chad and then go to the big party tonight. Saw Annie Duke, Phil Helmuth, Antonio Esfandiari, John Vorhaus, KrazyKanuck, and Jack McClelland today. ( Read more... )

Koontz is still in the Make You a Pro freeroll. He only has 5 live players on his table because 4 are absent and getting blinded out. They should be blinded out this round. He has 2300 in chips after starting with 2000. He was up to 5000+ at one point but lost with AK against KK. The first break just ended now so maybe he can get a few hands ( Read more... )

Just got back from the poker room...it was redonkilous. We played some $1/$2 no limit...and the game was just insane, we shoulda got up. There were like 40 people crowded around that game watching. It was a $1/$2 $100 min buy in, and there were like $3000 pots. But we came away not down too much. So I guess it was all good. Tomorrow gonna ( Read more... )

So we have arrived here in beautiful Aruba. Its pretty sweet all around. The island is really small, only like 6 miles by 17 miles, and its beautiful weather. First thing we did after we got here was go check out the casino, and I got into a satellite for the $500 entry tournament tonight. It was 10 people and it paid 2 winners, and a few ( Read more... )

My head is already in Aruba. I try to concentrate on class, but its already there. Its all I can think about. At least after today I only have 2 classes tomorrow. I just have to take a Geology test and then work some in the computer science lab. But after that I am out of here. Our flight is 8 am Saturday morning and we don't get back til the ( Read more... )

Yeah so I am sitting here in Economics class right now. This class is so boring, and it feels like it takes hours to end. So I can pass time with my laptop today. Yesterday I was sitting on the Quad in the Bama Dining tent eating and there were these two girls playing with a baby. I think they were friends with the mom. The one girl picked up ( Read more... )

I can't believe I haven't skipped a class yet. I have no classes with attendance policies and yet I am still going. Something must be wrong here. The first game was pretty fun. I am not sure I can get super excited for a game for a while. I think we will be ok, we did a pretty good job against the #2 passing offense in the country so it will ( Read more... )

So school is keeping me pretty busy. But I am excited for football! Woo hoo! And Aruba! Woo hoo! Today I saw some Spain people that I haven't seen SINCE Spain at Get on Board Day, that was pretty sweet! I miss those guys. Speaking of, I talked to Cano the other day, I think I will go back this summer. He told me he could hook me up, and that I ( Read more... )

My arms are on fire...wow. I never thought you could burn your arms so bad in a 4 hour period. Supposedly I am burnt all over, but only my arms hurt so bad. I might just have to pass out for the next two weeks. At least no band tomorrow, I can try to stay out of the sun for most of the day.
