@motion; Not sure why you are hijacking this thread...
OT; yeah, I somewhat agree with the points made. Don't know the opening so can't help you there, other then if you're saying you've studied this particular opening, you should know some middlegame plans (for both sides!). Don't just remember moves, remember WHY these moves are played. :) And find an opening that matches your style, if you want to play attacking chess and not just solid play, maybe the Slav isn't for you.
