Today I didn't do too much. After running so bad at tournaments I'm taking a couple of days off to recollect my thoughts and keep from burning myself out. I woke up at 12 from all the random noise in the kitchen (sucks being on a 4 a.m. to 1 p.m. sleeping schedule lol). About 4 I got up and went to the mall to use a few gift cards I've had saved. One was for Barnes and Noble the other for Gamestop. With the Barnes and Noble one, I literally couldn't find anything I wanted to spend it that bad on... so I ended up buying a Rosetta Stone Swedish course. It's really cool and I wanted to put myself to the challenge of learning it. The good thing about it is that Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish are all practically the same with a few small differences so you learn one, and you pretty much learn them all. Here are a few sentences I can already say:

My name is Chase. Mig namn är Chase.

I live in Texas. Jag bo inne Texas.

I'm really hungry. Jag är verkligen hungrig.

At Gamestop I bought the new NBA Live 08 which looks pretty solid and also a used Call of Duty 3. After getting COD2 for free with my X-Box, I'm totally hooked. I just beat the fourth one which just came out and already beat the 2nd a long time ago.

In other news, I'm taking an online Math course right now because I'm behind in math classes. This class is so easy it's a joke lmao. You can use all notes and the book on every assignment and the assignments are so easy that it's amazing anybody would even have to. This is supposed to be a mixture of advanced algebra and probability and precalculus but it's basically a highschool math class. On my recent test, it was over solving linear equations by addition, subtraction, etc. but you can just use a calculator for all of them. Then they had matrices where you have to find the inverse, add, multiply, etc. and you can use the calculator too. The lowest grade I've made so far on about 8 activities was a 95 lol. Too bad real classes aren't like this.

Tomorrow I'll probably play a crap load of tournaments as I'm jealous I'm not at Pokerstars Carribean Adventure with all the other online players. I didn't really feel like taking the time to play any satellites for it even though I'm positive I could have won a seat or come close had I tried enough times.
