Regrets
I wasn't able to sign up for Met-Chess this year due to life-issues.
1. I'm moving... This happens soon. Not exactly sure where. Not too far and very unrelated to Chess match.
2. I'm getting a real full-time job... Self-Employment. If I'm not on it every day, I can't succeed. That being said I'd need a lot of special treatments I wouldn't want.
3. I cannot maintain a healthy relationship with sed job and having no weekends. I simply wouldn't see my girlfriend until after the con and have minor fears that doing this would mean an end to the relationship irregardless of my current standing or whatnot.
4. I have no funds to pay for gas with and have nowhere to stay up there for the weekend. Driving back and forth three days a week (band practice in orlando every thursday) is something I can't affoard.
5. I will probably start a 3am-9am shift as a security agent soon, possibly Friday. That's really my only source of income until I get clients at my real job.
This wasn't really a drama list or a list of things I don't/do like. This was just a way for me to justify to myself not trying out for something I know would have been a lot of fun to be a part of. I kind of let myself down a little bit, but perhaps it was for the best that I avoid stretching myself too thin this year.
