End of school year, transfer, and boxing

0

Well, I put a couple leakfinder vids out in the last few weeks, hopefully you guys liked those. The online situation being what it is, I will probably not be able to make any of my own play. If These vids are still enjoyable and you guys are learning enough from them, I will be happy to release a couple leakfinders a month. Feedback is always good in this regard.

On a life side of things, I am finishing my second year at St. John's College next week. I learned so much here, and my ability to dissect a text and converse or write about it has improved dramatically. I have decided to transfer next year though in an effort to pursue something a little more suited to my strengths. I originally chose SJC because I didn't know what I wanted to study, and thought an investigation of the Great Books would be a great place to start for my education.

I was accepted at Columbia in NYC and sent in my deposit last week, so will be moving out there sometime around mid-August to study Economics and Philosophy. I am very excited about this change, and think I will do well there.

I will probably head out to Vegas sometime around the 28th this month in order to play the 25k HU. Not sure what my plan is for this summer, so just going to play it by ear. Hopefully there are some good 100-200 cash games like last year that will help pay for my inability to do well in tournaments!

In other news, I had my second boxing match last night. I have been training pretty hard for the last 4 months to prepare, and think I have come a long way from my first fight. I had a pretty tough shoulder surgery 9 months ago and couldn't be happier with my progress. Throwing a baseball still feels a little tight, but boxing doesn't put my shoulder in compromising positions so those workouts have been great. Enjoy the vid.
