5 a.m....
Just out of the jumble of thoughts and impressions this week...
1. 5 a.m is really too damn early for anything! That being said, its been awesome training for the demo this week with the other insane people of this team. Thanks guys:)
2. I hate being pressured and yet need that pressure to push myself out of my comfort zone. I'm scared to death to try the board breaking, yet I think I need to try. Reminds me of the heart palpitations I get thinking about grading--too bad that cant just be sprung on you like the demos are:) (Although that could be worse..)
3. I appreciate more and more how the demos (and tiger challenges of the past) help give me focus and drive in the short run--helps me stay interested and motivated overall.
Other than all that I'm just REALLY tired...for some odd reason....
I did want to comment on last weeks challenge of doing our forms for a lower ranking student or stranger. I had some complete strangers come up to me at the tri leisure and comment on how cool they look, and another said she thought it was cool that I would do them there. (Had the stick at the time--havent dared the spear yet:) ) A co-worker said it flowed nice, and my daughter said why me? when I asked. A fun challenge at any rate!
