So 5 days ago I sat my last University exam and I have now escaped from education. Now that I'm free, I have no idea what it is I want to do with my life which is a bit of an issue. I have just moved back home to live with my parents and currently have no job, although I will be looking to get something sorted (probably just a temporary job for now) within the next week or so. I think the most likely outcome is that I'll end up working in a Bar/Restaurant that one of my good friend owns. As far as a long term plan goes, well I'm pretty unsure. There are a couple of things I am going to look into in more detail, but at the minute the option I'm considering most is trying to qualify as a Physiotherapist.

My degree course was Sport and Exercise Sciences, which is essentially Human Biology with a bit of Psychology thrown in. The anatomy/musculoskeletal ares of this course link in well with physiotherapy and so my degree should enable me to gain entry to a Pre-registration Physiotherapy MSc course. However, to get onto such a course, you need a certain amount of physiotherapy experience, of which I have none. Therefore I'd need to first get some experience (whether this be through voluntary work in a nearby hospital or w/e) and then apply to Universities again. The MSc is a 1 year course, after which I should be able to register as a Chartered Physiotherapist.

What I do know is that I will continue to play poker as a sort of side income, and that I have no real expectations of "going pro". I have just (~3k hands so far) moved up to 100NL and seem to be on an insane heater so it'll be interesting to see how things go there once that all calms down and I get further into it. I have no real target to reach in terms of my BR, and at the minute 200NL seems a world away. I'll just keep on playing and see where things go. I think if it gets to the stage where I have a Degree, and possibly an MSc or some other sort of postgraduate qualification and am playing 200NL+ as a long term winner, I will consider making poker my main source of income. Obviously that is a long way off, but I guess it gives me something to aim at.

With that out of the way, May 2009, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!





+$280 Bonus = +$1780 and my best ever month.

Obviously amazed at the month I had considering I had my finals this month and really didnt get a lot of volume in. Sick heater straight after moving up to 100NL ldo which was such goot times. I think I'll be alright at 100NL, so far I've been 4/6 tabling which has helped a lot in terms of me identifying the weaker players, note taking and picking up the occasional read here and there.

Lets hope it continues!!!
