It's nearing the end of July...

...and these were my New Year's Resolutions:
1) Be less than $30k in debt by the end of the next year (currently $41,485 in the hole).
2) Get at LEAST an 80% in my Chem. class that I previously failed.
3) Finish off my shower, sink, toilet idea for my basement.

Well... I got exactly an 80% in Chemistry, I just yesterday finished up the shower, sink, and toilet idea in my basement... and after some recently large poker winnings, I am currently only $26,500 in debt. It is an exciting day!

My secret new year's goal was getting a girlfriend, yet I got so much more than that. Lauren and I are great, spending most days together, taking trips, having fun in the sun. Life is pretty good. Looks like I shall have no trouble subbing high school and getting pretty much full time hours, meaning debts shall be melting away in no time.

I am registered for at least two big tournaments where first place would essentially pay off my entire mass of remaining debt. One is a $200 buy in, with $100 rebuys. The other is just a $500 entry, no rebuys. There is a third one that I am considering entering if I do well in either of the first two... that is a $1000 buy-in, no rebuys, first place will be about $50-60,000.

Tomorrow is 3 months with Lauren. Happy three months hunny.
