yesterday was the BB retreat and it was pretty fun, we woke up really early like a six and went and meditated in a field. later we did some stick forms and stuff. We went to breakfast and had a good meal. afterwards we did some cool teambuilding activities in the woods. After all of that Grand master Lee went over the new changes and some of the hapkeyto forms. To finish up the retreat we went to the campfire and did some skits. Then we played some capture the flag my team lost but I did get the flag/ pumpkin once.We had some free time after the capture the flag game and then I went to bed.

I am such a slacker I have barely done anything for three days and I know it and I regret it. So today I did three classes and for some reason I am wiped out and I don't know why because we did not work out that much in any of the classes and so I am perplexed. I don't know if I can do the rest of my requirements for today and I feel mad at myself for being so; well; tired.
