Rad?!
I'm having a really hard time settling down to work this semester. I think I need to start going to campus and working from the office - as it stands I only go there twice a week for class. I feel really focused during and after class, but then it all goes away. :< Not good. But I feel like a giant nab making the trip in just to read, so OH WELL.
Our sensei for kenjutsu ran a knife-fighting clinic today, and it was rad, if I may use that word! (Did "rad" make a comeback, or did I dream that? I probably dreamed it.) I didn't expect it to be as tiring as it was, since I was like, "Pfft, whatever, bokken are like, fifty times heavier than tantou, how hard could it be? D:" (Answer: yeah, pretty hard.) Then there was a lot of grappling involved, so the aikido students at the clinic had a leg up on me in that department. Being a kendo refugee, all I really know how to do is bash things and yell at people. I hurt pretty much everywhere. But it was an awesome experience!
Thank god January's almost over. I dislike January almost as much as February. How much of a douche would you have to be to make February even longer than usual every four years? I bet they didn't live in Canada.
