I'm fucking tired but sleeping at night seems to be an elusive myth at this point. I just lay there and can never get to sleep. Last night wasn't too bad but today I napped after class (remarkable because I got a ton of sleep) so sleeping tonight is impossible. I must not be getting enough REM sleep or something, it's annoying.
Things continue to go well, I broke Platinum during my first session today. That's the last intermediate goal from here until I hit Supernova, there's nothing between here and there but a shitload of playing. I'm starting to gauge where I want to be by the end of the month and, as I mentioned in the last blog, the cutoff seems to be right around halfway through and just a little bit better. I'd like to shoot for being around 45k to go at the end of November but that's a fairly high number of games per day from now until then and I'd certainly be running a higher risk of burnout; there would be virtually no balance.
I'm yawning but I know I can't sleep. I just laid there for over an hour trying.
Tomorrow's gonna be a test on me and this entire journey. I've gotta read a chapter and study some shit for a quiz on that chapter, as well as having a Calculus quiz, booking volume, followed by waking up the earliest I have to for class at any point in the week, then do the quizzes, etc. and then log volume that day again. It's gonna take some focus and well used naps I think. I'll probably read the chapter after I finish this actually, just to get it out of the way of tomorrow. That way I'll just nap in the afternoon and then run sets in the evening like I did today.
I'm still contemplating when I should take a shot at the next levels. I'm rolled but I'm still not sure I want to jump in so soon; I'm only four days into the challenge and had planned it all out as if I had to do it all at my current level. The prospect of moving up and finishing it with half the work is tempting but leaving myself open to swings I've never experienced before is rather daunting. I'll do it at some point but I'm considering putting it off until the end of the month.
I'm not sure if there's any difference between the levels at all. I actually saw a person who I saw registering for the $100s playing the $50s with me today... he's a lifetime winner but is doing poorly overall in his play at the DoNs. I might take some time to keep an eye on the games and the players over the next week or so and see what's popping there.
Another reason I want to put it off is to have a nice sample size for the $50s. There's a few people I play with who have played a relatively large sample with and I'm just interested in how my sample size equal to that of theirs now would compare. I'd have that size of a sample by the end of the month. All that said if I make the move before then, I do. If not, whatever. I'm not stressing. It's early in the battle for sure, but I'm confident I can make this happen right where I'm at if I have to. If I can step up and knock it out with half the play, I'll still probably play more than would be required. I've got lofty goals. It will make my year if I can pull off Supernova.
Alright, gonna go read up on some boring shit.
