Earlier tonight I completed the classes that wrapped up six weeks of classes. The semester is flying by nicely thanks in large part to football season being here. I had my first two tests this week. I have no idea how I did. A lot of these upper level classes unfortunately require a lot of textbook reading in order to be really successful. I’ve determined that it’s not important enough to me to read chapter after chapter in a textbook in order to excel in these classes, so we’ll see how things go.

I played a little bit of poker last Sunday. I found an 11th place finish (out of 103) in the $10,000 WCOOP HORSE event which was good for like $26,000. First was $250,00 so the finish was bittersweet. Still, it’s nice to go deep in a tournament like that where almost all of the players are extremely, extremely good.

There’s very little else going on in my life worth writing about. I’m off to a nice start in my Fantasy Football league. I’m 2-0 and ranked 2nd of the 12 of us. I accidentally drafted a good team I think. There’s still a long, long way to go, but it’d be nice to beat my friends out of some money if I can win this thing :)
