So, I thought that the class was at 2pm today, (even though I've been to a Sunday class) once before!- goes to show how my mind works sometimes- but anyway, I ended up arriving at 1:30. However, I still got to do a bit of class. Even though it ends at 2pm, we may have gone over a bit.

I worked on my footwork again- it seems that I like to hop. :P thats what I think got me the laughs last time. Since the Sensei's were busy instructing people, (or there was only one or two this time- and our Dojo has A LOT of people) one of the other students helped to teach me and the other new person. She came up with a neat idea to help me with the hopping- she told me to just move my feet normally as if I was walking, but instead of walking, just slide my feet on the ground. That way I could get a feel for what it's like to not lift up my right heel. It worked, it did really help when I tried to do...wahts it called... suburi?? properly. I didnt hop as much, although I did hop a little bit.

Yet again my whole body feels sore, but mysertiosly, it's not so sore during practice as it is after. I love it!! I also like Sundays better that Saturdays in general, because saturdays are the days where we work on Katas so I don't get as much of a burn. I like Saturdays alright too, but Sundays are my favorite.

After class, I watched some people fold their hakamas and...the other thing that I can't remember. OMG I am scared. I don't think I'm going to by my hakama until Sensei says something about it, and it's not just because of the price. I can't even fold my own laundry right! Usually I just stuff it in a drawer or hang it up.

I mentioned that to someone at the dojo who was folding his hakama, and he said "well, you chose the right place for that". heheh. Yeah it'll be good for me.

Also, did I mention? Yesterday someone gave me a shinai bag for free... and a ...shinai guard (which for some reason, I didn't buy/get when I got the shinai). It looks super cool. I feel super cool carrying it home on the subway. Everyone stares at me when I carry my shinai on the subway. (I guess I like attention- heh)

Anyway, I won't be blogging this upcoming weekend because I'm leaving the city for thanksgiving break- which means that I won't be going to Kendo class this upcoming weekend.
