Dissertation FML

I need to try to graduate with a 2.1, and as such have been working on my dissertation recently. Hopefully I can run good with my diss mark as it works out as a 1/5 of my degree, which is a bit steep imo for a fucking compulsory module but nvm! I have to work like a slut for the next 12 days to get it finished, but usually I find it easier to work hard when I know the deadline is due, so I hope I can wrap it up soon and start with learning/revision for the exams.

All of this obv = no poker, and apart from 1/2 hour the other night where I won about $150 I've not been able to play for a while. After starting the bet, I was only able to put in 6 sessions which I knew would be the case in the first place but also realised that if I had a stimulus I would play more and make more than the $100 I'd probably lose. That definitely happened as I managed to average $500 a session, bringing home $3k profit from the start of the bet. I lose 1/30 of this to Keys, who managed to win the required amount in good time, but definitely won as well as losing. Maybe like a total win amount in a 30hour stretch would be a good bet in the future, as for some reason a small financial incentive can act as a greater kick-up-the-arse to win than the higher amount of $$$ that can be won.

I can't wait to graduate and get playing, but unfortunately I'm going to have to just work work work for the time being, so let's hope I can run good, scrape a 2.1 and be happy!
