Well I dodged the bullet. Went to karate class this evening, mostly a nervous wreck. No one said anything as I came in. No one said anything as I did my jumping jacks. One of the instructors stood directly behind me during ALL the exercises, but still no one said anything as I finished them all. Then…no one said anything as Sensei proceeded to explain how 4 people had been kicked out of the school for not phoning if they couldn’t make it to class, and how he was moving 3 people into the Advanced class. I really tensed for that part. I just knew that after saying that he would go on to say I’d be going back. But he didn’t. He didn’t say anything as we learned a new technique. We went through the ending bow, I did my extra credit pushups in the back and got dressed. Finally…..he said….
“Pushups, Pushups, Pushups” shaking his little finger at me. I nodded and told him I was and would be working on them. And then I cracked and asked him if they’d gotten even a little better. He nodded slightly and said “Yeah…their better. They look better.” I was in Heaven. But the test isn’t over….Will I slack now. Will I stop working my ass off. The answer is no. I will work just as hard tomorrow and Wednesday, ending the time hoping I can saw off my arms, just in case Thursday is the “test”. But at least I dodged it tonight. I feel like I’m in The Matrix. ๐
Daddy let me eat a Burger King Chicken Sandwich for dinner since I did so well. We picked up his Mom from the airport. She gave me a really cool T-shirt that says “Colorado” and has a weird looking “Indian God” playing a flute on it…who apparently is the God of Fertility. I told her it would be concidered Fertility of Money :grins: No..that wasn’t a hint from her…she knows neighter me nor Daddy want children. Daddy got a T-shirt. Tat got something but doesn’t know what yet so I won’t say. I spent a while playing Diablo 2 as a reward to myself and even scored a small typing job tonight. Gotta love the money :grins: Maybe I’ll be able to pay for my Trainer after all. LOL
