Bama football, School, WCOOP, Gym

Hi all. Thanks for reading. I know I'm not updating much. Since I last posted I've enjoyed two football weekends. I was over in Atlanta for Bama vs Virginia Tech. Bama won that one in a very exciting game, 34-24. This past weekend we beat a scrappy Florida International team 40-14. School is whatever right now. I'm in the middle of the fifth week and have yet to have any major assignments or tests. I have had a lot of group work, so I'm staying busy enough. I only have classes Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but essentially I have to keep my schedule free all five business days to allow time for group meetings. That said, I almost surely won't play another live poker tournament until the $15,000 Five Diamond event at Bellagio in December. I feel like I'm just kind of going through the motions with school right now. I put everything off until the last minute. Still, I always get everything done and can still pretty accidentally make a 3.5+ GPA in these classes. I wrestle with whether I should work harder. Looking back to high school and my first stint in college I think I did the same thing though. Thursday I have to get up in front of my 70 person in class and give this presentation, which is gonna be miserable. I'ma keep grinding it out though and graduate in a little under 8 months. Poker has still been slow. I've played the last two Sundays with some close calls but no major scores. I did have a poker-related business venture go my way last Sunday so for a significant score. Like I said this summer in Vegas, it's pretty bad ass to sit back and watch someone else make you money in swaps or investments. As a man though, you still want to be wrecking the tournaments yourself, and it doesn't make sleeping any easier when someone else is carrying the load. The only other activity in my life right now is working out. Mike and I have really been doing a great job with it. I would really recommend gym prop bets to other lazy poker players because without the bets we've made there's no way in hell I would've put in the hours that I have in 2009. I'm averaging a trip to the gym every other day and starting to see transformations in my body. When I go I'm not half-assing it either. I usually start with a 2.5-4.5 mile run on the treadmill and then get on the weights before finally hitting the steamroom. Usually there are droves of sexy 19-22 year old girls in front of me on the treadmill, so the time passes quickly. I'm at a point where I'm enjoying fitness and it makes the school grind not as bad.
