Default OT: INTRO (please read)

Hey,

I have actually been around these forums for 5 months or so but I created a new account (not for any reasons of people hating me, as I never posted that much)
I am 22 and a senior at UGA although I am graduating in December. I am doing an internship this summer in Rochester, New York so I will not get to play alot however I am so itching to get back into it now. (I would really just like to make a few dollars before I graduate bc it is really needed)
About my poker: I started playing poker around october of 2004. I never played that much and was only a small time gambler (although I gambled on golf my whole life growing up). IN Decenber 2004, I won the worlds largest poker tournament put on by royal vegas. It was a 100K freeroll and i took $23,500 for first. After that I thought that i was on top of everything, gambling like crazy.. winning $14,000 in a week then losing $10,000 in a day. Over the last year and a half I havent worked while I was in college because of this money and meanwhile I have lost some of it back. I did not understand variance or anything. I just thought I was the best (which obviously is nowhere close to true).
Anyway, I am leaving for my internship May 15th after the College Poker Champ. Regional Finals but I would REALLY like to play poker bc i miss it so much.
I have played around 200 SNGs with a very good ROI however I just keep jumping up stakes(in limit poker) and have no bankroll management skills(yes i know 200 sngs is nothing). I would like to start posting here and get myself back into the game and do it the right way.
Yea I know I was just talking about money management.. but as of now I would only like to put in $220 for 20- $11 SNG as money is pretty tight before my internship.
I know I could hit a downswing at the very beginning but do you think I have a GOOD chance to make this into something, or should I go to like $5.50 on stars?

Ok enough rambling, i just wanted to introduce myself and see what i should do about this?
Also... I have read the FAQ and have read here alot (as i know alot of people introduce themselves and are never heard from again) I would really like to make a go of this though so any help would be appreciated. (I do not have SNGPT or PT though as I thought I would be done with poker.. and I only have 220 that I want to put in at this time.. (more after summer internship but hopefully not needed)so i really dont have any money to spend on it at this time unfortunately
Thanks for yor help (sry about typos if any)
