Marks and Karate
I got my marks back today because I signed up to have them sent by SMS.
Asian Civilisations Credit
Japanese 9 Pass
The Language Game (1st year linguistics) Distinction.
I went back to Karate after a year, year and a half last night. I'm hoping it will help a little with the depression and the insomnia that I've been experiencing lately. There were only 3 people there, it sounds like a lot are overseas, some possibly on international gashuku. So I trained with Sempai Anthony and his partner Cathy. Once she recognised me under my beanni Cathy went squee at me. She told me that she'd been the only girl there for too long. I remembered more than I might have expected and my kata are definitely in my long term memory, I need to work on my stances, which were always weak, again. My legs ended up screaming by the end of the night but I had expected that. The fact that we were doing parts of the kata genikisaiichi which includes shikodatchi (horse stance/a deep squat by any other name) didn't help. I came home high on adreneline, endorphines, fatigue/sleep deprivation. However I feel better today than I expected and it isn't my back which is sore because of it, which is a really good sign. I'm going to go and train again tomorrow.
