Forgetful

Wooowowowow! I’ve been pretty forgetful these past few days haha. Forgot my gym bag with my aikido stuff yesterday and panicked for a bit but found it after I calmed down. Actually left it at the place where i ate lunch. Looked there before, but I didn’t ask the people working there whether they found a bag initially. So the panicking is more of my own fault =P But I did ask after i ate dinner and they had my bag in the back room. Such a relief!!!

Today, don’t know where my lab manual is for fitness appraisal. I think someone might’ve taken my lab manual instead of theirs by accident. Or maybe I actually left it but someone who knew me took it to give it back to me because when I went back to the lab, it wasn’t there anymore. =S If anything I’ll just go to the bookstore and write notes off of the lab manuals they could have there haha. Or worst comes to worst I’ll either hopefully be able to borrow a lab manual or I’ll go buy another one >.< Rawr!!!

Testing stuff is about to begin. Yesterday, had my first track and field practical =P Yes, playing sports for marks FTW! We got tested on relays, so she marked us on where we are positioned in the lanes, when we start running, how the hand-off of the paton was, and whether the paton decelerates. It’s actually more technical than it looks =S. I think most of us got docked marks due to the paton decelerating when we’re handing it off. It’s hard not to decelerate… which is why that part of the test is only worth 1 mark. It was pretty easy, i got a 9/10 haha. Dumb deceleration (alliteration!)

Also got tested for aikido! Going for my 6th kyu! Daaang! haha. That’s just a solid orange belt instead of an orange belt with a stripe. Hopefully I’ll get to green before i graduate. Funny because in first year I had to do a goal setting thing for a kin course. My plan, if everything worked out perfectly was that I’d get to brown before I graduated. That was also assuming that I went to every class though.

Anyways, just a little something random for this blog as no one seems to like posting here anymore. I’ll just post once in a while when I have something random to post haha.

Leave a comment if ur out there guys… lemme know you’re alive!!!

Daaaang Wednesdays

Booooo… Wednesdays are my longest days as I believe I have previously posted about haha. I think I did… last post… hmmm… don’t remember. Track today… did high jumps! Spent the whole class slowly building to the final jump; isolating each skill on its own. Footwork is obviously important so spent a good deal of the class practicing which foot leads and which foot is the take off foot. Practiced falling on the bag thing haha, it was ridiculously isolated skills lol. It was still fun though, and I didn’t get too tired from it… too tired….

And then the lab. The lab wasn’t actually that long, but for what we had to do it was surprisingly exhausting. Had to run on a treadmill for as long as you could at 8.5 mph for males. It was faster than it looked >.< Only stayed on for a measly 36 seconds. The best in our class was i think 64 seconds. Taking your body to the limit week after week is interesting, but at a cost haha.

Aikido was a lot of test review. Don’t know if I’m gonna be testing, but had to do the review stuff anyways or there’d be nothing for me to do. Still good though, there’s always stuff to correct and learn in every technique. Again… pretty tiring, especially since i didn’t get a chance to recover enough from the track and lab before this. So going into studying right after was toughhhhhh.

Bit peeved. Apparently I leave dishes in the sink… when I’m rarely home. It’s kool… I just take clean dishes and throw them into the sink before i leave for school without real breakfast. –sigh-
