First Blog, Last Class, tons of air quotes

So I've decided to start my blog today, it's a strange day with a lot of things coming to an end, and a lot of things about to start.

I have my last class of college in an hour, which is crazy to think about, in two weeks I can no longer describe myself as a "student", I will just be "unemployed". I figure today is as good as any other day to start a blog, I guess its going to be focused on my poker aspirations, but its a very unpredictable time right now and the topic of this blog is just as much in a state of flux.

I've been interested in poker for a while, playing online for about a year, micro to small stakes. I've recently joined Nick Rainey's training site, and hope to give playing poker some real time and effort in the next couple months. I play on Full Tilt as "freemoniez".

The conflict is that four years of college, a summer in Australia "studying", have really drained my personal non-poker funds. I will be forced to move home for hopefully just the summer, and will need to find a job relatively soon, which I am not looking forward to. I wish I could stay in college forever, this blog in the immediate future will track my transition and into the real world, while monitoring my aspirations to make poker my job.

The only thing I can promise is that I will be totally honest, and won't hold anything back.

Thanks for reading.
