Re-focus

I have been playing more than I planned and more than I should while at school.  It hasn't actually affected my school work too much, but it has affected my play.  A lot of times I try to do work during tournaments or play too late knowing that I need to get up early the next morning.  I think these things have kept me from playing as well as I can at certain times.  Sooo, from now on I am going to attempt to play only one tourney a day during the week and save the high volume days for breaks.  I also want to try and focus more while playing and really try to play every tournament as best I can.  Alright, well that's that, now hopefully we will see the top threes come a little more often now!
