So, a life update:

As some of you know, I'm a classical musician. This month of February is a really intense and important one for me with 5 graduate school auditions, so obv I'm just taking poker off completely. No FTP, no IRC, no nuthin. My gf and I are trying to get into the same school, so that's a lot of added stress. (FWIW, we've taken two and already been accepted to one school and will hear about the other soon). That being said, I have handled my stress pretty well and generally happy with my life.

I haven't played a hand in about a month and I'm cool with that. I'm having to withdraw a little bit of funds for a trip to the northeast, then I'll be back at the tables March 1st, hoping to get better, move up, and grind my way to a lot of money over a measured distance. I would really just like to put in hands and get better, and not worry about the money mostly.
