Today is my last day at CMS, and I don't know if I am excited or not about that. I mean, I have gotten paid $13 an hour for the past nine weeks to do essentially nothing. Plus I am getting part of my scholarship requirement out of the way (now I just need to graduate and get the government job), and I am getting three CS elective credits. But it gave me lots of time to edit Wikipedia, setup Google Calendar, and play with RSS readers. Tough life.

Last weekend, Amaris and I met up with her dad one last time and headed out to the beach. Everyone told us to go to Ocean City, MD when we did the beach, but what we didn't know was that everyone else got the memo too. Seriously, there were three times when we hit major delays: at a toll booth (1.5 mile delays), at a STOP LIGHT (1 mile delays), and when we were getting into Ocean City (7 mile delays). Yeah... we hit almost 10 miles of stop and go traffic (more stop than go). We didn't get out of Catonsville until noon so it was almost five by the time we got there. Since I was not feeling like dropping $200 on a hotel and then dealing with the same traffic heading out of town, we decided to play in the ocean for a few hours, grab dinner and head out. That place was a nut house, and it was the type of place where you can just tell that all of the vendors are just seeing you as a cashpot that they want to tap (much more so than businesses usually do). You could easily leave there cleaned out and carrying a bunch of junk that you will regret buying. So we stayed for about 5 hours walking along the board walk and playing in the ocean and then we headed home. It took us 2.5 hours to get home.

Today we are heading out for Vegas. Allowing for stops at training camps, and spending the weekend in Virgina with Ben, I figure that we will roll into Vegas around noon on Thursday. Hopefully I wont get a call on Monday from the Riviera saying that they rented out my room to someone else.
