I'm not going to post any graphs and stats from '08 because all I can say is that it was mediocre. My goal was to make $100k and I only managed to win $20k. One could say it's not that bad for an underaged player but I'm kind of dissapointed. First 5 months of 2008 were winning ones. My shitty, swingy run started in June. I also had to withdraw about ~$9k for a new PC and my USA trip in summer. I can't blame only poker gods for my mediocre 2008 - I must admit that I'm a lazy slob and didn't really put as much time into poker as I could have. Ok, let's leave last year behind.

I'm pretty much even in January so far. The last couple of days I didn't play poker at all cause I had some learning to do.
As for the stakes, I'm playing 2/4 euro with no intention of moving down. I feel I've got some edge there but it needs to be shaped.
Some of you probably know 2009 is the year when I finally turn 18

On the first hand I'm looking forward to it but on the other hand I've got some money to win before my birthday cause I plan on going to a couple of EPTs later this year.

When it comes to my real life it's been OK lately. Actually it's going to be better than OK very soon

My knee is getting better as I've been going to rehab. The muscles are being rebuilt and the power of my leg is coming back

However, I have to use crutches a few weeks more (hopefully less than that).
This Saturday I'm going on a prom (it's not really my prom, one couple from every 2nd class has been chosen as a delegation or sth). It's bound to be a great party. A lot of my friends are graduating this year and this is probably one of the last opportunities to have fun together. I can't wait !!

In February we got 2 weeks of holidays so my friend Karol, who just like me doesn't have anything to do then (he doesn't have his leg 'stuck' though lol), will move in for a week into my house to chill w/ me :D. I have already been invited to a jamaican house-party hosted by my class-mate and it's likely there's going to be another theme party during holidays where you'll have to dress as a fairy tale character - pretty cool idea imo.

Hmm.. I guess that's all I wanted to write about. Oh, I forgot about a date. There's this cute girl from my class,who all of a sudden invited me on a date when I fully recuperate. It's pretty weird cause I tried to make out with her earlier and she seemed uninterested. My good friend asked her to go with him to the prom and he told me he's going to 'go all in' there and see if she calls

I don't think it's going to happen, however, I wouldn't be mad at all if they started going out(grammar or w/e problem - shouldn't it be 'started to go out' here ?).

Thanks for reading, good luck to y'all guys
