This summer was one of the most awesome summers for me but it time to stop partying. Spewing more than half of my roll on alcohol was not a smart thing to do.

[] Start playing poker as much as I used to before this summer
[] Stop drinking 4 times a week(I'm in college :P )
[] No MTT's
[] No forum while playing

Acheived my goal of hitting $1,000 last month

This month, I'll be on the road as I begin my long-term trip across Canada, SE Asia, and the U.S.A.

but when time allows

[ ] 2,000 hands at 5NL (I will be withdrawing most of my roll for my trip, so this is the highest limit I will be rolled for when the transfer goes through)
