I got a responce from Mission Year today. They received my references and now it's time to set up an interview. I plan on calling my interviewer today. Hopefully everything will go well.

I played no-limit texas hold'em with a buddy from my work over the weekend. There were fourteen people playing. I thought it was going to be a twenty five dollar buy in. But because they had less people than they wanted it got bumped up to sixty dollars. What was I thinking? I should have said, "no thanks". Everyone else thought it was a bit much to play for too. I played because I didn't want to be seen as cheap. If I knew that no one cared or that they didn't really want to play for that much, I would have walked away. But I didn't and I lost sixty dollars.

I did like playing though. I did pretty good for awhile. I came in sixth place out of fourteen. The top three players got paid. I almost got there, but not quite. I want to play again. However, I'm probably going to Mission Year and need to raise money. So I can't be spending it all on poker games. It would be cool if I could win but that's not garanteed to happen. I need to be wise at this time.

I should get going. I need to get an interview set up, do the dishes (grumble, grumble, grrr), eat dinner, and get some sleep. I'm realy tired. At 1pm, in the work van, I dozed off for a few minutes while my co-worker was on the phone with the boss-man. (But I never fall asleep in the van)
