Omaha and studies

I've been studying a lot lately, because I have a lot of important exams. I had one yesterday which I think went ok for the time invested, but by far from great.
I started learning too late for it and that hurt my results.
Now I have to study for accounting one of my least favourite subjects for sure, but what can you do. I won't be specializing in it so it's just a basic course that needs to be done.

Poker has been ok over the last couple of sessions. I have been winning again and I think I'm break even at 2/4 and up on the month, because I'm up on 3/6.
Party Poker released a not so satisfying update to their VIP system yesterday.
I think it has some merits, but it is very volume-binding and I don't like this idea.
It's almost like your working a real job with 50% weekly goals that need to be achieved and so on.

I recently purchased a pretty good Omaha book called Pot-limit Omaha Poker, by Jeff Hwang. Here is the link to it:
This guy has also written articles for Motley Fool, the online investing guide and seems to be competent. I definetly find the book informative and it's just at the right level of difficulty for a NL player transitioning to PLO (ie not too simple, but not too advanced either).
Def worth checking out imo.

I've been having some problems with booking my flight to Vegas, I'm trying to reach the agency I booked over and see if everything has been processed and I hope it has been otherwise I may have to deal with extra costs.
I'm actually flying over London for about 600€, because the flights from Austria/Munich were 1.2k+ which I thought was ludacris. Yes, for you americans thats like 1.8k dollars. Anyway pretty sick.

Month is almost over and I think I'll post a summary of how things have been going down tomorrow.
