Back to Blogs - Currently practicing to OTB School Tournament - Day 1

ChessAnalysisChess botTournamentOver the board
In my past accounts, I frequently did blogs, mostly Off-Topic ones so it didn't get a lot of popularity. I will return to Off-Topic ones later hopefully with more popularity. Now, I have to focus about my OTB School Tournament.

Well, I'm finally back to blogs. But I don't want to start Off-Topic ones yet. Currently, if you didn't know, I'm on an OTB School Tournament (Sports Day) that is coming in two weeks.
Before this, I have finals but I can do both of them at the same time.
Yesterday, I hosted a simul and everyone was better than me. That gave me a HUGE "WAKE UP" in my mind. I was playing randomly with many mistakes. I needed to do something. I got in touch with @BrennanMD and we played some correspondence games as he taught me to play London, one of the main 1. d4 openings since I knew nothing.
Well, it's going quite well. I'm going to practice playing with Stockfish level 4 and reviewing my mistakes and at the same time do some puzzles and go read some studies. Well, I don't always have time for everything, so as people said I need to create a list. But man, I'm so busy!
Here is the first game analysis:

You're free to analyze it if you see anything I need to know.
I will give updates everyday and I wish to play a game with someone better than me everyday to see my improvements. There could be days when I cannot post but I will give a short blog. It has been one day and I already feel much better.
Thank you everyone, especially @Tbootpoo and @BrennanMD .
