Playing Once Again

Now that Cross Country is over, i can play chess again. yay! and i think i am going to focus on a thinking process first. it seems vitally important, and i think the key thing is to stick with it and apply it at all times. well, i hope everyone is well and had a good thanksgiving. i also need to come up with a steady opening or two, preferably two as a white and two as black. if anyone has suggestions please let me know. thanks a bunch. Also, I found a great site, mychess.com, that could be used for the 7 circles. i don't know if i should do the dlm circles, or one of the modified versions. again, input is welcome.
