i am also getting half of this semester's tuition refunded to me from the school

while we're on the subject how do your parents feel about all of this?

well, they are certainly somewhat dissapointed, but they know how well i have been doing, and agree that if i am not willing to put forth they effort to do well in school, i am better off dropping out for now so that i can have a somewhat clean transcript for the future if i decide to go back

at first, like in nevember when i first started thinking about dropping out, they didnt approve, but now they see that i am making a lot more money than they are

they would like for me to be educated, but i am really just not motivated to do the work when i am making as much money as i am playing poker and they understand that

another problem is that my brother, who actually taught me to play poker, is a losing gambler with a serious problem and he gets pretty jealous of my success, but he does not have what it takes to really study the game and set bankroll limits and all that for himself, what i am doing, just makes him want to blow all his money on poker, i am not going to stop playing because of this, but my success is not really helping his problem
