December 27 - Christmas passed

Christmas was awesome! Wasn't as stressful as I imagined it would have been, but I also decided to have a more positive outlook on the whole day. Holidays have sucked a ton since my brother passed and family composition changed...but life is about rolling with the punches and making the best of what you have. So I did, or attempted to, do just that.

I ended up getting a lot of awesome things, even though I didn't ask for hardly anything. The GF got me a ring that works pretty well with my watch, along with some video games, clothes (which she will inevitably steal), and some other gifts. Also got a new set of headphones, some giftcards, and my big gift; an iPhone. The iPhone is just so awesome, and yet another sign that our generation is unable to be unconnected for even 20 seconds.

I ended up picking up a few students as well, and had two intro sessions today that went well. Also did a session yesterday at 100NL which went OK. I'm still not running super, but by playing less (which has been a pretty common theme over the last couple months) I don't notice it so much =). I do have some very solid plans for next year as far as hours go. I decided that I will set my hour goals to include coaching, live play, and actual sessions. My main goal will be supernova and a bare minimum financial number.

Other than that, I have a lot to do this week. I would like to get a place to live this week, and I have a schedule littered with coaching and such. I have sent out some emails, and hope to be hearing back in the next few days. Being picky sucks when trying to get a new place, especially one on quick notice...but I'm sure it will work out.

That's all for now, hope all is well with everyone...
