It'll come

Hello fellow cyclers. Welcome to journal #number-I-have-no-idea. I have one question I want to ask you guys though. Do you know the difference between type 1 fun and type 2 fun? If you said no, let me explain. Type 1 fun is fun that you have instantly, in the moment. Maybe you're laughing with your friends because someone told a really funny joke or watching a movie or at a birthday party - that kind of stuff. Type 2 fun is fun that doesn't come instantly but gets there eventually. Type 2 fun is fun you have to work for. For example, you know that huge event that is coming up in less than 24 hours? Yea, it's only our black belt testing. That's an example of type 2 fun. During testing we'll feel tired and nervous but when testing is over you'll feel extremely happy and be enjoying that quality type 2 fun. And then we also have our tea ceremony which will be pretty rewarding. The ceremony will be rewarding because of all the hard work of the cycle and the test. And that's type 2 fun! My point is that during testing if you get tired or frustrated and would rather be home in bed, just remember that fun comes in different ways. Anyways, have a good night everyone. I'm off to sleepy world now. I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow night at testing!

Good Luck...
