Winter holiday 2013-14

December 13, 2013 - January 20, 2014

In short, roughly 4 weeks of struggling with viral fever and roughly 2 weeks to catch up with stuff. Fun days include - Graduation on December 17th, company dinner on December 19th, Christmas, birthday/New Years, dinner with friends on January 12th, dev test & meeting DEs (Deal Editors) on January 15th, graduate orientation on January 17th, game night on January 18th, and end of winter break & three-day weekend celebration on January 20th.

Graduation was horrible - aside for taking 3-4hrs, they butchered my name, but I'm done with my bachelors degrees so thats a relief:
And then I got into the Master's program at UNLV for CS:

Christmas was spent with family and Doctor Who special (which was amazing - though tons of questions regarding the Doctor's regeneration....).

Watched the fireworks in town on TV on new year's eve, and then celebrated my birthday/new years at home watching Sherlock live.

By the January 9th I had recovered from the viral fever and as such organized dinner with friends on January 12th to celebration graduation and new year.

Deal Editors at SD came over on January 15th to visit the crew here, so spend the day with them, and turned in my dev test for the full-time job.

Graduate orientation turned out to be 2hr long presentation out of which I learned, as a graduate you got more forms to fill and need to apply for graduation at least 2 semesters early. Also you are officially crazy and will most likely go insane during the coursework.

Fun game night on January 18th with coworkers - iMAgiNiff, insane card game and munchkins.

And to cap the winter break, went for bowling, arcade, movie (The Legends of Hercules - don't watch it, not worth the time, and if you do want to watch it, watch the disney version - more fun) and dinner on January 20th.

Scoreboard (DD is me, guess what it stands for :P): Still keeping true to averaging 100 per game....
