Beating Myself

Hey guys,
i am a 22 year old business and economics student and have been playing poker since late 2008.
I have been mostly a MTT player with some success but also with shots in all sorts of cashgames what has basically been without any success.
Due to university and other stuff i haven't been very active the last year. 2012 i played 40k hands of cash and about 350 games and although i feel like i can still beat the games i would like to get more out of the games.
My focus will be on MTTs and NL HU.
The title of the blog is because i feel like i always seem to give up or take the easy way when something gets tough and that's something i want to change, meaning studying more and for university that means, participating in the lessons and work harder. The first 3 semesters i didn't do much and i really have to get my ass up to get the grades to have the opportunity to make a masters degree. Fpr Poker that means that i try to play more and especially do more theory and analyzes.
not my complete results but a good overview. Cash graph 2k12

i hope this blog will motivate me in any aspect.
Thanks.

Hey, finally a second post to my "blog".
May was SCOOP time and after some profit in April and a 7th place in the 162$ on Pokerstars for 3,7k i thought i should take some shots. So i played some 109$, 162$ and all the mid events.

unfortunately i didn't go too well. In the early events i played pretty bad. At the last day i took a shot in the 1k main event and felt pretty good about my play. Did some good 3bet/4bet bluffing but wasn't able to get something going because i lost the showdowns.
in cashgames i played very low volume but had some nice profit, although i donked off some money at the plo tables...

goals for the upcoming month are
[ ] 30k hands cashgame (will be hard with EURO 2012 and upcoming exams)
[ ] watch 3videos/week
[ ] review one match vs a reg/week with another player.
[ ] play MTTs on 2 sundays...
