I'm alive... and I've been playing poker lately

Since I haven't updated this in 4 months, I guess I'll describe the last 4 months. Everything online is $25NL.

March: Practically no poker. I was crushed by exams (and real life in general). I did, however, go to Atlantic City for the first time after my 21st birthday. I was there 4 days but only played poker for 3 of them. At the end of the weekend I was up around $70 from playing 1/2 No Limit Hold 'em. Not fantastic, but I'll take it.

April: Literally no poker. I did watch some DeucesCracked videos, though.

May: Lots of videos, little poker. I played 3 sessions the entire month. I dropped $142 over the first 2 sessions and won back $48 of it in the last.

June: No poker until almost the end of my summer lecture (though, again, there were a fair amount of videos prior to this point). But I've tried to make-up for that in the last 2 weeks. I progressed from strictly 4-tabling to playing around 6-8 tables. This let me get in nearly 15k hands. And, in short, I ran good. I was pretty much in God mode for awhile there. I didn't suck out too many times, but I was very rarely sucked out upon and all the coolers seemed to be in my favor. Though, there was a 10 buy-in downswing encompassed in a 7 or 8k hand break-even stretch. In the end I ran 11 buy-ins above expectation, booking a cool 28 buy-ins (just over $700) while running at 9.6ptbb/100.

I plan to play 25NL until at least Friday (rakeback day), after that I think I'm finally going to take a shot at 50NL. I'm definitely rolled for a shot (30 buy-ins), but I'm kinda afraid that I'm going to get doomswitched at 50NL after running so hot at 25NL. I think I'm going to move-up on either Friday or Saturday and stay there if I don't run bad. If I drop 5 buy-ins I'll probably move down and rebuild. At this rate I'm definitely on course for 100NL (or higher) by the end of the year.

And, what you all really just want to see:
