Brag: Finished my Masters
 

Brag: Last week I finished my Masters at NYU for English Education. It was an intense one year program that included 42 Master level credits and three full time student-teaching placements.

I also received my teaching certification for high school English in NYC.

Now time to find a good teaching job.

Beat: I used all my poker bankroll for school, so it's back to building it from $500

Another Brag: I am so happy that now I could care less about where I am poker-bankroll wise

Yay for me.

You are not strassa. Sorry to disappoint you.

So jealous, I'm posting here instead of finishing mine. On the plus side I'm a lot more robusto than you at least.

Beat: a person with a masters in English says "I could care less...". Yikes.

[/ QUOTE ]There is nothing wrong with that, and it annoys me that so many people think it's wrong. It's like saying "I don't care very much, but I'm a glass-half-full kind of person".

Congratulations. Teaching is a good job. Teaching english means long hours while school is in session. (grading papers afterwork) But you will have alot of free time during vacations and breaks to play poker.

Don't tell any of the teachers that you play poker. (trust me on this)

Then his brag would make no sense. He's so happy that he actually cares quite a bit about how small his bankroll is? I don't think so.

I hope you were just mildly leveling me.

How did "don't care very much" become "cares quite a bit" in your mind?
