Life & future

I passed the entry exam to the Warsaw School of Economics. Yay. There were approx. 6-7 candidates for 1 spot and I almost bubbled out cause the required amount of points were 57/100 and I got 59. The test was tough tho. Around 40% of it was micro / macro economics, 30% was world economy, european union info, political geography and the remaining 30% was english at which I suck. Anyways, it's passed. Hopefully in two years I will get master degree in Finance. And for the most part I'm happy beacause I won't pay a dime for it.

I had quite different plans even couple months ago beacuse I wanted to travel for a year or sth. I decided to go for masters 2-3 months ago and then started preparing. Out of the 4 semesters that I will have to complete in WSE I'd like to go for 2 exchange programmes. So I guess the studies will be some sort of a compromise between travelling, and doing something useful. I wanted to go to Hong Kong and Sao Paulo, but unfortunately going for the second x-change is a bit complicated.
In order to go for second exchange I would have to join CEMS organization. It's some sort of agreement between top management schools, one from each country within western and central Europe. However, an exchange through this programme is Europe only which means I have to pick Sao Paulo or Hong Kong for let's call it bilateral exchange programme and won't be able to go to both places.

So I'm thinking if I should start learning mandarin now, go to Hong Kong in 1 year and pick up some of it there. And once I'll be done with studies in 2 years I'll go to mainland China for a year to finish learning mandarin. Otherwise it's pretty much a waste of time. I would need 7 to 10 years to learn it properly in Poland going to class, and I doubt I will stay in Poland or that I will have patience to grind out 7 years of chinese ( rather the latter ).

It's all plans, however I'm really excited and happy that I have so many opportunities. It will depend on me wheter I will make use of them or not. But the sole existence of them makes me feel good.

Poker

I started playing a bit now. Before I go to LV I wanted to play some cash games so I cleared 200$ everest bonus by playing NL25, NL50 and running bad.

I also deposited 1000$ on PS and I started playing low stakes tournaments, and MTT SNG's. It seemed like I'm bubbling every 180-man but hopefully next weekend it's gonna be better.

I never really played MTT's so I'm adjusting to bigger fields. I try not to spew so much anymore. I will also try to give up on marginal calls/pushes beacuse in deep stack tournaments I am able to pick up chips w/o showdown. I tend to bluff river too often as well, re-raise BTN/CO w/o any particular reads, and I never think of laying down AK. But I adapt quickly and sooner or later I might get some score.
