Hello again

I forgot to blog yesterday - and remembered about 12:05 am so it was too late to do anything.

Today was a good day for getting requirements done.  I led warmups and helped with class and also we had sparring so that's three all in the course of a couple of hours.  I managed to squeeze in a walk before work and shorter one during lunch as well.  And I got a lot of physical items done during the day, too.

It's currently unclear if we're having sparring next week given that it usually conflicts with color belt testing so we'll have to find out from Master Evins what he wants.  But so far I'm on a good pace with the required classes and I think I know most of my forms.  The main issue is locking in these self defenses and learning my breaking kick.  I'm glad we've got a lot of time left in the Cycle but I know it'll disappear fast.
