TKD grading
Quote 1: Alan Haynes-(to group at tkd when practising set-spar)- The attacker says they're ready first, then the defender says they are ready. We do it this way because you don't go up to someone outside and say "attack me!" Me- (to partner)- Well you don't exactly go outside and say "i'm going to kick you in the solar plexus in a second" either!
Quote 2- Kate Seamark- (on hearing about the ferry in the red sea)- What was it doing there? Did it get lost? I thought they only went to France and Norway!
Quote 3-Master Oldham (To Afro)- You're free to train on valentines day?! Go and get yourself a girl!
Song- Thin Lizzy- Whiskey in the Jar.
Song 2- Bounce- Bon Jovi.
I had my tae kwon do grading last night. And it was really good. It was the first grading that i dod when i felt ready to do it. And considering we have only been doing the stuff for this grading for 3 weeks is actually pretty good. And i was even confident on the korean, which is normally everybodies weakness. OK, so i pronounced Turning kick wrong, but i knew what it was. And i got the next 3 questiond he asked me right.
And sorry Tomo, i still cannot say "keep you mits off my gorram milk!" I can, however, say Middle inner forear block. And Middle outer forearm block. And i can kinda count to, um, 4... yeah...
Really really proud of Matchek, he got his black tags!! Now he's only one more belt off his black belt. he had to kick through 4 inches of wood (NO MEAN FEAT!) and i don't know who was more nervous, him or Helen! She was shaking, bless her. Jackie got an A+ pass. In tkd there are 5 levels in a grading: fail, low pass, pass, A+ pass, and double promote. So to get an A+ pass under Master Oldham, the head of the organisation, was pretty damn impressive!
Once we had finished the actual grading, Neil asked who was free on Tuesday for training, and Master Oldham told Afro (not his real name, just what everyone calls him on account of his hair...) that he was disappointed that he didnt have a girlfriend, and why not ask one of us out on Tuesday! Now, considering was have to take everything he says seriously in a grading, and call him "sir"... it was pretty damn funny! Poor guy's gonna get it rippedout of him for weeks!!
Went out for a drink with most of the club and Master Oldham afterwards. One of the lasses, Liz, said that we have done more in the last 4 months or so than what she did in an entire year! Got another graing in 6 weeks. Not sure if i'm going to go for it, but then again why not? That is if it's at a time when i'm able to grade, and if they let us...
Finally got around to sorting out all of my junk. About half of it has now been classed as work... So maybe it wasnt all junk. But yeah, it's all been filed and is in subjects and not just lying about somewhere on the floor. Never know, it might last. Might not...
Hmmm. Think that's it for this post.

Glad it went well :D
Hmm, work, you mean it doesn't normally live on the floor? I thought that was where you were supposed to keep it?
*looks puzzled*

Most of mine ends up at various places in the spare room - where the computer is - or in my bag until I need it and then once it's used it goes into one of the numerous boxes of my uni stuff in the spare room.
Yeah the spare room is my usual place for putting work.
And go you! *frets about hers*
