And Tahoe It Begins (Day 2)

I woke up this morning at 6:30 to the sound of room service bringing me my breakfast. It was good. This pampered stuff was weird at first, but I think I get used to it more everyday. I wonder what my mom would say if I called her at 10:00 at night to tell her to make me breakfast the following morning and to bring it to my room at 6:30? We got to the course at 7:45 and began working right away. We had to put batteries into all the range finders so that the celebrities wouldn’t be burdened with the job. Next we made 68 sponsor bags for the Harrahs group. Each bag took a few minutes to make even with Matt (the other guy, who like myself, receive all the jobs no one else wants to do), so this took us almost to 10:45. The rest of the day consisted of making 70 more bags with the daunting task of making another 110 tomorrow. We also move a lot of boxes, take out the trash, and move some more boxes.

We got off at 6:00 today so I went back to the room, freshened up, and made my way over to the restaurant down the hall. The place was pretty classy (they made me take my hat off) and had a gorgeous view of Lake Tahoe. I probably would not have gone there normally but since I have $100 to spend a day on food and beverages, I have free reign. They greatest part about this fancy restaurant is that after dinner they bring you a plate of cotton candy. Talk about luxury.

After dinner I walked to California just I could say that I have been there in my lifetime. Technically Harvey’s is on the corner of Nevada and California, but still the trip would have left Mar winded. On my walk some girl told me she loved me on a dare. Her friends found it hilarious; I thought I was a pretty good catch. I stopped off at the casino for the first time on the way back. I lost a dollar in the slot machine. I had hoped that I could use my computer out here to post on my blog everyday; however the internet cost $11 per day. I had thought hey maybe I could go down to the casino, play some games and maybe win myself some internet, but I don’t have enough discretionary funds to follow that plan to fruition.

It is beautiful out here. A welcome reprieve from city life, but it sucks being out here alone. I’m looking forward to Kristina, Gary, and Jon getting out here so at least I know someone, but it still will be lonesome.
