Phew! Times have been busy. We had a wonderful guest this weekend, Jenn's (and I like to think my) friend, Sarah. She's a blast to have around because she's smart and funny and pulls no punches. :)

I found out that my last HRD test before black got pushed back a week. Good for more practice, bad because I already had plans the weekend it was moved to, also bad because it leaves less time for covering the last set of material before Black.

There's also this little thing during the test I'm not looking forward to... I have to do 8 kicks in less than 3 seconds. Each belt starting at Purple we've had to do a number of kicks in less than 3 seconds, and the count keeps going up. So.. I find myself staring down the barrel of 8 kicks in less than 3 seconds. The combo that DJN wants me to do takes me more than 6 seconds to perform. The combo that I put together for myself takes me 4.5 seconds... I'm settling somewhere in the middle for a combo that I can do in 5+ seconds.

It's craptastic, but I figure I can't make it in time, so I'm going to do a good set of kicks as fast as I can and then just suck it up.

Jenn and I are planning on seeing X2 tonight, so I'm really excited about that! I need to find some time for the hot tub before the movie, I had a hard class today and I think I tweaked my shoulder when attempting to leap 5 feet forward lang into a shoulder roll and stand up unscathed.

Mental Note: Work on that unscathed part.
