HELLO.

Aikido training on Wednesday was incredible. 

I got partnered up with this guy who definitely had all his moves down. He literally had me reeling with his throws & pins! I kid you not.

Oh, and I finally got promoted to Orange belt! An achievement, I think, considering that I'd only been doing this for about 4 months when I took the grading. Especially when you consider that I can only make it for the kids' class on Sundays (thanks to Army), which moves at an excruciatingly slow pace.

I got a 'C' too. I thought it'd be worse since I didn't know some of the japanese terms that the testers used that day.

18 days to the BIG TEST!
