First Week

Made it through the first week with the new schedule.  Fun part is that we've had an intense deadline at the firm which means I worked like a banshee.  

Due to working a 12hr day on Thursday I missed Karate and Muay Thai, needless to say I'm itching to throw a temper tantrum on some mitts or the bag. Next week I should be all set to do at least Muay Thai.  Maybe I'll get in some other training too.  

The after-school karate started this week, and even though we've hit some speed bumps, we are trying to keep a positive attitude and hope we get more students.  I've already learned so many things on the administrative side of things that will prove to be invaluable.  

Next month should be Karate promotions. Though technically I'm an Orange Belt, I still wear my Yellow Belt. I was hoping to go to another tournament, but it just hasn't happened.  In the after-school program I am allowed to wear an honorary green belt. Mostly due to my other Martial Arts training. My goal is that at next promotion to try to test into Green Belt.  This is a pretty hard thing to do, but not impossible. There isn't a whole lot I just don't know, I just need to perform it at a high level. As it is such a big jump, I'll probably be a Green Belt for about a year before I get any promotions.  

In reflection its great to know that even with the headaches I know I am doing what I've supposed to be doing. Not many people have a love - but I have two! How awesome is that?
