"Have you ever heard of the Orange Range?"
I had my Wushu class on Thursday.
Awesome. Different and far more badass than Kenpo.
Glenn said when he went in, he didn't take a class, and Master Li just evaluated him; you know, asked him to do a few basic kicks, a tornado kick, etc. Then they sat down and discussed the plan and payment.
That never happened with me. I guess since John and Glenn know what they are doing, he assumed I did too, and threw me right into a class -_-;; lol not that I didn't want to take one! But I was gonna sit around until 8, but I was there with Glenn around 5:40 so he was like "Get changed and take a class!" I was like "OMG!" And they have these really complex fifteen minute warm-ups so I had to watch everyone and wing it hardcore.
So for the rest of the class, I went ont he side with this higher-level Asian guy and he showed me their style of tornado kicks, butterfly kicks and weird step-spinning-inside-outside kicks. Totally fun, new and now I am sore as fuck.
However. I feel like an asshole and probably shouldn't. After class I went over to Master Li (who was talking to Glenn) and he was like...in very vad English..."You discuss plan with Glenn and get back to me," and I was thinking I still had to sit down with him. So I asked "Alright, when do you want me to come in again?" And he replied "Well you have to pay before you take nother class, you understand that right?" And I blushed like a retard and was like "Oh yeah, of course!" Stuff like that embarresses me...lol. I didn't mean to imply anything, I just figured we had to sit down and talk about it like the everyone else! Do you think maybe it was just because of the language gap and he was trying to get everything across as clearly as possible? I KNOW you have to pay to take classes. It would have been nice to get some sort of deal...but I can't expect that. And didn't. And felt like a moron just for being there. But hey, it's hard to understand each other when one of you hardly speaks decent English T_T I hope he likes me though!
I think I may be able to get a job at the school. If I get my FAFSA in and become a Work Study student, I can do little things every month and I heard getting 100 bucks is easy as pie. I hope! I really wanna take Wushu!
Anyway. I don't know if we are going to be able to make it to both Tekkoshocon and AnimeBoston. I don't think we'll both have enough money for both cons. Who knows, though. I still need to worry about costumes. And getting a job and paying for Wushi T_T
I'm glad it's the weekend. I've been kind of depressed lately. I wish I could make money and my parent's weren't so stupid about it...
I am sore as hell. I guess that's what happens when you've been out of the martial arts business for a year and a half.
EDIT: Scratch sore. I actually can hardly walk. All I did was kick for an hour. Now...I am pretty flexible and I can kick well over my head...but Wushu...Wushi is NUTS. Ow, baby. Ow.
