Broke my foot....

I broke my foot jogging for the first time since the Winter about 3 days ago. The doctor said it was a fatigue break. All I did was run for 50 minutes then do sprints for 5 minutes and afterwards it was broken, I never fell or twisted my ankle.
The funny thing is I injured myself at the beginning of the last summer season aswell just by doing sprints. For the meanwhile I'm not supposed to do anything with my foot and rest. So no sports and I'm gonna be avoiding Uni, though I have agreed to go and see a famous German comedian tomorrow with a friend called Mittermair.

On another note I've already booked my new years trip with a friend of mine, we will be going to New York City and it should be fun. We originally wanted to go in the Summer time, but we would have missed the NBA season had we done so and the NBA is definetly is one of the main reasons we want to go to New York. Obviously food and partying are near the top of the list aswell.
I'm also probably gonna go sailing in September to Croatia. I've been sailing once before with a similiar crew to Corsica and Elba primarily and the sea was awfully unsteady, but Croatia is supposed to be the complete opposite. Also partying will be way more fun in Croatia.

I'm really doubting my balancing skills in real life lately. I've given up trying to keep up with the volume of hands I usually play when I have exams. It just distracts me from playing my A game and also from my Uni work so it feels like a lose/lose situation, especially when you add in hapiness ev. I find it a lot harder to deal with downswings when I'm studying at the same time and it's vital for a poker player to be able to do so well, as I'm sure a lot of you know and have experienced yourself.
I'll just have to make peace with the fact that I can't do all the things I want to do at the same time. I believe this should increase my productivity in all areas and also my sense of well-being. Mad respect for people who can juggle family/work/sports well.

For those of you who read my last post about sfiv, no I haven't quit the game. Interestingly enough since I've started to play ranked instead of unranked custom games, I've been doing a lot better. There still are some tough opponents, but I haven't faced any competition as tough as I was facing in the unranked games. Most definetly just coincidence, but it was very frustrating at one point. I've been playing Viper as my main and ran my battle points up to 700 today, but am hovering around the 500 mark right now.
It's kinda funny playing sfiv, because I feel Iike I go on tilt sometimes, which would be pretty bad when playing poker, but it doesn't really matter when playing this game, because it doesn't necessarily make you play that much worse and also there's nothing to lose besides points that are fairly worthless compaired to thousands of €. I also think that the main tilt factor comes from losing to people that are worse than you, but not being able to chop it up to variance, because there is very little variance in sfiv if you are a superior player (some people may say there is no variance, but there is variance on higher levels of play imo, because if people mix up their attack game then you'll get in spots where you'll have to estimate how to counter their move).

There should be a new video of mine coming out in the near future. I made a two part serious about LAG and TAG play. I really appreciate feedback on the videos I make. In the past I've received ratings, but without feedback, so it puts pressure on me to guess what people liked/didn't like.

On a final note, I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzfJ1P3nUl0&NR=1 on Youtube by conicidence. I am half Nigerian and this is really funny if you know some Nigerian people. You may even find it funny regardless.
