Feel like gambling tens of thousands of dollars, but don't want to risk losing any money? Feel like being a kid again and jumping around in a "bounce around machine?" How about watching someone playing music while skating around a cafeteria? If this sounds like your thing, then you should have came down for the Mount Aloysius Family weekend. Although I worked my butt off and got little sleep this weekend, I still had a blast.

On Friday around 4 pm, my weekend full of fun and work started. Justin, Anthony, Laura, and I unloaded a huge truck filled with equipment. This equipment was for the Fantasy Casino. After setting up all of the curtains, lights, screens and other electrical equipment, we started setting up the tables for playing games. We had 2 poker tables, a roulette table, 4 blackjack tables and an oxygen bar. The night officially started at 9 pm and was it busy. Each person received $50,000 to gamble with and once they were finished with gambling, they could purchase raffle tickets with their winnings. The prizes for the night were various types of MAC apparel, TV/Radios, and gift certificates for Sheetz. I made a lot of "money", but didn't win any of the prizes. But at least I got to be dealer for awhile. After midnight, when the event was over, a bunch of students and I stayed to help pack up and load the truck. I didn't get to bed until 3 am...

I have to head to class, but I will fill y'all in with the rest later!
