Well, I went to the Fifth Dawn Prerelease this weekend. Saturday I played in 2 32-player tournaments with and Randall. Both times, I won 3 matches and lost 2, which put me just below the line to win prizes. I had fun, though, and Jessi and Randall both won some prizes. Oddly enough, in both tournaments I was paired to play against Jessi, but in both cases I beat her. Yet, she walked away with prizes and I didn’t. That’s how these things work sometimes.

Sunday I went back into Boston to the prerelease to attempt to get certified as a DCI judge. I volunteered as a judge for a couple tournaments there under the supervision of some senior judges, had an interview, took the test, and passed the test with a perfect score. My tester will be recommending me as a judge to the DCI, so it looks like I’ll probably be a certified judge once the paperwork goes through in a month or so. Then I can be even more active in running events at WPI, as well as working at local stores and regional events (such as the next prerelease).

So, I am quite happy. I’m also quite tired, and have work tomorrow, so I now plan to get some much needed rest.
