Stamford tomorrow. My rating going in is 1713, near the middle of my field. The last two tournaments in Stamford have not been my best efforts. I hope to play at least reasonably well. I want to make sure I sleep enough and eat healthy food. Modest goals, but those two factors are more than half the battle.
My study recently has been haphazard at best: flashcards in the bathroom, at red lights, in odd minutes waiting in lines. I sometimes wonder if I’ll ever get back to a regular study schedule.
I like the way my life is going, though. So I’ll accept the random flashcard study for now.

(I use the Japanese in deference to jvp's thoughts on luck in Scrabble; it's the closest thing the language has to "good luck," but has more to do with urging perseverance and best effort.)
(Gee, all that just to wish a person luck!)
Have fun,
whome.
I think I like that version of "good luck" quite a bit.
(Will eventually post a tournament "report", but I haven't figured out how much of it is interesting and how much of it is pure geekiness.)
