Too Many Things

Pandamonium is always fun. It's nice to see your training mates in a more casual situation and get to know them better. I hope we raised alot of money. It was awesome to see how many people supported the bake sale. I over indulged in way too many chocolate chip cookies.

I've been feeling a bit better. I've modified my diet and been drinking some herbal teas. At first this was wreaking havoc on my system but now I've seemed to be leveling out. I also have been trying to work with my sleep cycles to wake up at a better time. So far it seems like I've improved. I managed to make my classes this week, so I'm happy.

I'm a bit unmotivated with kung fu right now. I'm having a hard time learning anything new with my ropedart so I've kind of been leaving it to collect dust for the past while. I broke it out for a bit during Pandamonium but I haven't figured out how to progress with it. I also tried to go through alot of my orange belt curriculum and I've forgotten so much. I was practicing Long and it ended up being some weird Long/Lao Gar hybrid. During the knife defense portion I just kept stabbing myself. Good thing orange is one of my favorite colors. San Shao is going horribly. I'm so uncomfortable with alot of the techniques. If I'm told to shadow box, it just ends up being a bunch of random arm and leg flailing. It's just a whole bunch of awkwardness coming from my part. I'm the lowest ranking belt and the other students are bigger males. I need another uncoordinated female to join so when we're told to partner up, I'm not left standing by myself all the time. Sigh...I hope one day I get better.
