Vegas

So, I'm back, have been since a week ago, but I've been a little busy. Getting lots and lots of work done so that I can keep getting lots of sleep. Unfortunately, there was a lot more work that needed to be done since Monday, of course! But, here's the story:

Vegas was absolutely fabulous! The house was amazing! Here are some pictures:


The kitchen is actually clean for once! 

The master bedroom. It's huge! With a closet bigger than my dorm room! 

Fun times were had in this room. 

It was absolutely huge, and looked like a designer had come in and chosen all the furniture, it was incredible. And everything was so high tech! The frige that you see in the picture, it had a lock on the water dispenser that we never did figure out how to turn off. It also alarmed at you if the door was open for longer than 30 seconds. The pool had its own motion sensor, and there was at least a CD player if not an entire multi-media set in every room it seemed. It was a little insane. But, fun, to say the least. I never did go in the pool, but there was a pool and a hot tub out back. I enjoyed playing cards and other games with people too much to go outside.

Enough about the house, I did play a lot of games, and really enjoyed getting to know some really fabulous people that I hadn't really met before. Of course, they're all seniors and will be leaving in two months, which really kind of sucks, but I'm really glad I got to know them, at least we have two months! It was pretty funny, Reid looked over at me while we were playing cards the first night and asked, "So, I know your name is Katie, but besides Sandor's girlfriend, who are you?!" I was amused. Turns out he's from Gig Harbor. Small world.

We wandered the Strip two nights while we were there, it was a lot of fun. I spent a lot of time with Lori and Liz and David, although Reid joined us on the first night. Lori had never been to Vegas, so we wandered through all the big name casinos to let her look at them. It was a lot of fun. And, in doing so, I got to go through the Bellagio, which I hadn't done before. That's the one with the Chihuly glass ceiling (see picture below), and this fabulous room filled with real flowers and fake butterflies!

Those flowers? Yeah, they're real. Smelled heavenly in there! It was absolutely amazing. The Bellagion might be my favorite casino at this point. It's just amazingly elegant and very cool. Lori and I thoroughly enjoyed wandering through as much of it as we could. So much fun!

Anyway, when we got back here, we did work, but we watched some Scrubs and Alias, and went to the nickel arcade too, so it was fun. Although I really wasn't ready to go back to classes on Monday. *sigh* Oh well, it's back to insanity until May... the end will come incredibly soon I know, but I have to make it through first. Wish me luck!
