I am frustrated with you, Brandon!

Today was another pretty bad Sunday. I got 2nd in the $215 PLO on Saturday, and like 6th in a $30 2+1R+1A earlier in the week. Those are my first two final tables in a very long time, probably over a month. I still haven't won an MTT in a couple months which sucks a lot. Running horrible etc. I'm starting to lose the passion for MTTs, at least for putting in a large volume at them. I've been focusing a lot on cash lately, mostly Heads Up cash. Heads Up PLO is a great game and really fun. It's also extremely soft, and easier to get action at than NL Heads Up. I've been playing a mix of NLHE HU and PLO HU and have been doing quite well. Probably up around $7K in the last week or so. 

FTP has these HA tables, which are PLHE and PLO mixed HU. There are pretty much no regulars and I'm usually the only person there sitting at empty tables, so I get action a lot which is awesome. People usually suck at at least one of the games, and usually both. It's also a great change of pace to switch games every 10 hands and there's a lot of action. It also prevents me from auto-piloting and makes me play better. 

On a non-poker note, I'm going back to school tomorrow as Spring Break is over, which obviously sucks. I had to do a paper over Spring Break because I was gone from English class for around 7 days and missed a ton. The day I got back from missing a ton of school the paper was supposed to be due. I talked to her during class and we agreed that it'd be due the Monday after break, which would give me more than enough time. She told me to e-mail her any questions I had on Thursday or Friday as that's when she'd be getting back from Florida on vacation. 

So, I e-mail her on Friday night asking a simple question about the paper and the format of it. She sends back a reply that pissed me off a lot. She has a sort of a history of forgetting things. She's probably forgotten every one's name in the class at least five times. Anyway, here's the reply:

Brandon,

I don't mean to be rude, but I just flew back into Michigan from Florida.  The research paper was due on the 7th, but the deadline was extended twice until the 9th.  You type me this e - mail on the 17th in the evening asking about how to write the introduction/conclusion of a paper that was due over a week ago.  You had two examples:  One written by a past Annapolis sophomore and the other written by a publishing company.  I asked daily re. any questions after going through details over and over.  I am frustrated with you Brandon.

Tell you what Brandon:  If and only If you have turned in all past deadlines and you have gotten full credit on every single one, will I accept a final draft from you at the next A.R.O. held on the 25th.

Thank you for understanding my position,
Mrs. LeBeau

ARO is basically Saturday school, which sucks really bad and there's absolutely no way I'm going to it. I was super pissed after reading that. I ended up figuring out most of what I needed to know by myself anyway, but I'm still not sure about something unrelated to the paper directly. I've sent her 3 replies and she still hasn't sent me one back. Pretty ridiculous and really unprofessional in my opinion. Hopefully things work out tomorrow. Tomorrow could either be a really bad day or a really good day depending on how many things go right. 

Wish me luck,

Brandon

Sick Brag

Just learned today that I don't have mono. The blood work got back, pretty happy about that. I apparently just have a virus that should be gone soon'ish. 

Played a bunch of tournaments today and had so many deep runs but no big scores. Probably cashed like 7 tournaments with zero final tables which sucks. SCOOP is tomorrow, playing the 5R and 50R. The 5R should be insane, already like 16K people registered. Hopefully I can ship one, would make the rest of the series much better. GL me.
