Finalist & Distractions

First, there was a tag-team tournament albeit a small one. Went into it with my friend who played Ryu while I went ahead with Abel. Somehow managed to be one of the 4 teams in the KO rounds. We beat our opponents (Gief + Honda) but lost in the finals (Abel + Akuma). Not too bad coz we still got a free dinner in the end and the level of play was high. I enjoyed myself.

Surprisingly, I've already qualified myself for the Sony Tournament on the 31st of October. I managed to win out in the KoF XII tournament using a team of Kyo-Kim-Andy. Funny thing is, Kyo was supposed to be my worst character but he was the one to pull me through. Also managed to get first place in Puzzle Fighter for some strange reason but since I already qualified, the spot went over to the runner-up.

With all these things coming up in addition to my CFA exam, I wonder how I'll be able to cope. Actually, I'm pretty happy I'm so busy. I need the distraction from... thinking. I'm slowly regressing to my earlier state and all I can hope for now is that all these events will be enough of a distraction to pull me away from my thoughts.
