Happy New Year - I guess

I have got the hangover from hell. And it's already the 2nd of January.
Let me recap the last 4 days: School on Thursday marked the end of our 3 lesson fish segment, meat will be next which is fine by me. While I have developed a new appreciation for fish, I can't really say that I love it.
Class was good on Thursday although it felt a bit rushed, I think everybody just wanted to get the hell out and head into their New Year's weekend.
I myself drove to Atlantic City right after class. My girlfriend and two friends of ours were already there (and already had a negative balance).
I didn't do much gambling or drinking, I had arrived at 2AM, a bit tired and smelling very fishy.
After a good night's sleep however I was ready to tackle New Year's Eve. It was a hell of a lot of fun, marred only by a bad dinner at one of the hotel's finer restaurants.

Happy New Year. I'll take a Tylenol or three now and cure my headache...
