2 months of time in order to improve a variety of aspects. I have just moved into my Gfs moms house for a few months, while here i will not have access to internet strong enough to play Sc2 online. I plan to use this time to improve several things about myself. Before the internet void I was a gold level protoss.

Specific areas of interest:

Learning to type correctly
While typing my entries I will use the correct finger for each letter typed. I have generally typed using about 5 fingers and looking at the keyboard a lot.

Creating an interesting voice:
I enjoy writing, but i don't do it enough. I plan to use this as a means to improve my writing ability. I want to write compelling entries that are meaningful and full of life. This may create obvious instances of over writing... or incoherent ramblings of psychosis. or worse, be boring

Mechanics
Arguably the first Sc2 related goal. I plan to use this time away from the competitive scene to improve a variety of my mechanics including: macro, hotkeys, unit control, build orders, off racing, and many other topics. I still have internet, so i will be able to watch tournaments, streams, and peruse TL in order to keep up with the meta game.

Because i plan to write an entry everyday there wont always be much to Sc2 stuff to talk about. I will most likely be filling my entries with anecdotes and what i deem to be interesting enough to muse about. I will do my best to keep controversial topics and my own biases out of the blog, but they may leak through.

You could pick up BW and play against the computer offline. This will probably improve your mechanics significantly.

I played BW for a few months before SC2 launch, and used to play a fair bit of age of empires. The problem was i never spent the time to learn to use hotkeys. I just need to focus myself and force myself to creating and using the numbered hotkeys.

Age was nice because the buildings were pre hotkeyed so i could fake my way through easily enough.

I may play BW but since im so shitty i think there is plenty to improve on just using SC2. Might put it on laptop though so i can play mobile ! hmm
