Back in the Saddle
Officially a certified teacher in Washington State! Hip hip!
To celebrate, I've been playing lots of WoW and I've dabbled in a few micro MTTs. The last 18 months have been interesting. I've gone from working and going to school (no free time), to just going to school in the summer (lots of free time), to student teaching and taking classes (no free time), to being unemployed for the summer and looking for a teaching gig (lots of free time).
The last six months have been especially time consuming on the teaching front, but it hasn't been a bad thing in the least. I've learned a lot, and I did not mind getting up early for school, having a full day, and doing it all over again the next day--mostly because what I was doing had a purpose.
Now that I have a lot of free time, I remember wishing I had free time over the last six months, and the books I would read, and the hikes I would go on--but all I want to do now is veg out. I did get out this afternoon and take my mentor teacher's spot in a round of doubles tennis, which was a blast. We rotated partners and played three total sets, and I won the last set on a smoker serve that the guy swung and missed on, and the ball stuck in the fence behind him *blows the smoke off his pistol finger*.
Tomorrow, Dr. Chako is coming up for some racquetball, and he better be prepared for a whoopin'!
If you haven't seen already, Dr. Pauly has put up a very neat video that Poker News is working on.
Maybe I should go to med school and get myself a doctor label too. That, or smoke a lot of weed.

I was going to take it easy on you in racquetball. Now... not so much.
See you tonight. Bring your A-game. You're gonna need it.
