bogu! bogu!  
I got my loaner set bogu!! It's all not shiny and new! And it's actually slightly too small, the do is. But still...I got bogu...and now will shall be hit rather than just hitting... And it was also the first time when my feet nearly turned purple and I lost all feeling of feet sitting in seiza too!

Um yeah, I got back from Eastern like ten minutes ago. I so thought we would be done by 10PM but I guess not. Heh, whoops? But it was so much fun! I mean, I'm used to being the only girl in a group of martial art guys though this time around, at least they are mostly around my age. >.< And they are friendlier and happier! And the all the sensei are not nearly as scary as Saito-sensei is.

Andand...I thought one the EMU sensei's looked familiar! Turns out he was actually at the same Great Lakes judo competition with me a couple years ago. Of course, didn't fight him...andand he's so very awesome and we kept talking and like he's a Lit major and we were talking about Dumas, poetry, and all this English stuff and stuff. Also got to talk and get to know some of the other duudes in our club that I haven't gotten a chance to...and this is the first time I've been called a "tiny Asian girl." Because...duude, I'm five six and I have a slightly bigger frame than most Asians girls. But I guess compared to guys I am...and heh.

So very awesome! YEESH! ~ish less coherent than usual~

Oh, and my Psych exam got pushed to Thurs! It can't get any better!!! That means I can sleep tonight! ~collapses~

kendo  
It all happened rather quickly. For some reason, even though I had no previous intention of doing so, I joined the kendo club.

I was planning on joining either bujinkan or ninpo because I've always been interested in ninjutsu. But, well, I don't know now about either one of them. The bujinkan dojo seems really, really impressive. At the same time, they are kinda stuffy and I don't really like the atmosphere. That and...if I calculated it right, the class would be way more expensive than kendo, even when I buy all the crazy equipment. And then the ninpo group...for it is more a group than a dojo...is kinda iffy. I think I'll go to a meeting and check it out. Dunno if I'll have the energy (or the time) to do both since they are about a day apart, practice-wise.

I really like the people in the kendo dojo/club. The atmosphere is nice. I think I'll be able to do well there. Though...don't know if I can handle all the screaming. Heh. But the fact I can compete with it makes it all the more funner.

Neways, bai bai judo. I never want to have to get thrown a gabijillion times again.
