School messed up things so only got to hang out with the gf at our houses (...parents' houses ) but really enjoyed the time spent with her and will miss her a lot once school starts as she'll be 3.5hr away. I had a dream I transferred to VA Tech with my best friend and had the time of my life. Oh well, VCU is still better. Not really.

Anyways, poker is going ok. Not really running well. Actually running semi-bad since playing for the first time in like a week the other day. I have been trying to ramp up my aggression for the right reasons. Specifically, I am going to become a great 3bettor. I made a nice 3 barrel bluff shove that worked vs. a reg the other night. I seem to still be making slight mistakes when unsure on if I should bet or check and what not. That's ok. My main focus of exploiting has been working quite well and I am very happy about it.

School starts tomorrow and I could not be more sad/pissed but it SHOULD be my final year finally. I've enjoyed the social college stuff but classes are meh. Especially now since I have to commute to school. I'll be taking more classes than usual and the majority have to be upper level and I cannot fail one. So yeah, a lot of pressure. Sigh. I do have Monday/Wednesday off as well as only one class on Friday which is in the morning. This means longer weekends...yay. My gf and I are trying to see each other every? weekend which I am happy about so we'll get to spend some longer weekends when I visit her as she only has one Monday morning class.

Speaking of my gf, we play card games 24/7 when we are together. I mean our friends are amazed at how often we play. It's usually just us 2 too, meaning our games are somewhat limited. She's become really great at card removal stuff and it also helps me too which I think is great for poker. I was going to submit an article about relating other card games to poker but just didn't have the time. I really wish she'd let me teach her poker but she says she'll just lose all my money. Boo.

I haven't been able to sleep much because of certain things. Poker being the main thing. So I purchased some nice bedding stuff to make it a much more comfortable and enjoyable night for myself. I haven't received my comforter set yet but just the sheets, microfoam mattress topper and microfoam pillow alone have already worked wonders. I'm also thinking about buying some new shoes finally and getting my gf a bunch of random shit for her apartment. I think it's funny how I can be a 50NL reg or whatever and still find a lot of money I can withdrawl while keeping a way overrolled bankroll. That's good and bad in different ways but that's a whole different topic.
