Swords and Islands
Well it's my second day in the new job and I am having a lot of fun...if learning new things can be fun. The switch to day shift is a bit hard as my body still wants to sleep during the day, and then I am wide awake at night. *sigh*
The team that I am working with are really cool, and very helpful to the newbie. I am currently processing payments and have also taken some calls. Actually the one call that I have had, turned into a mini drama..but I learnt a little about the processes of the job..so it's all good.
Went to sword practice last night, and worked up a very good sweat. *eww* My muscles were pleasantly tired after the training. ^_^
I still felt very very clumsy. My sword strikes are pretty pathetic, and I have no flow what so ever. It seems to feel as though I am jerking the sword around, and it just doesn't fee right. I know that it will come with practice, and that I should just stop comparing myself to the others that are 5 weeks ahead of me in training. But it's just really hard to do that. I want to be good now!!
Checked out some swords at Armageddon in Christchurch and will have another look in Wellington. Although I probably won't buy anything until I go to the Medieval Shop.
Got some really cool news at work today. They will be doing a famil to the Cook Islands in the begining of May. I have been asked if I would like to go. Ummmm my answer. Yes Please!! ^_______^
So off to the Cook Islands I go!!
