Went pro, but now I'm bored

About 2 months ago, I quit my job in Costa Rica and went pro. Everything is going well financially (cost of living is very low here), but now I find myself with a ton of free time, feeling unproductive and bored during the day. During the hours that I have free, my friends are either working or studying, and the hours that I play, they all want to hang out.

I have considered taking some classes at one of the universities here to get my Spanish back up to par, or doing some web design on the side. I was also thinking about traveling and living in another Central/South American country for a month or two while playing. Any suggestions?

are there a lot of hot women in costa rica?

i know that doesn't answer your question (or does it?), but i'm genuinely curious. i have convinced myself that every south/central american country is filled with hot women.

If you can't choose your own hours and go out with your friends at night, you probably aren't good enough to go pro.

I was a "pro" for 9 months before I got so bored I joined the Army and got to go to Iraq for 9 months and fight for democracy. Problem solved.

Beats me, I have the same problem.

A typical day is, I wake up, after noon, eat breakfast, shower, then play a 3 hour session. Then I eat dinner and watch a movie on cable, play another 3 hours and then read 2+2 until 6AM. I get some chess and weights in a couple times a week each. I have a lot of free time, but like you said its at times that are usually not a good time for anyone else.

You can always get a real job like I used to have, with unrealistic deadlines, incompetent co-workers and corrupt management. You definitely won't have to worry about having too much free time.
