Tonight I tested for my first blue tip for my red belt. To say I was nervous is a huge understatement. I didn't feel that I was as strong as I could have been, but I went ahead with it anyways. Below are a few highlights and whatnot.
My Sparring Match Against Joshua
(This little four year old was seriously my toughest opponent of the night. He wore me out by chasing me around so much. I think my family got a kick out of watching us.)
Board Break
(My break was a jump back kick. I HATE that kick, just because of my lack of jumping ability. I broke it on my second try and really surprised myself.)
Ok, so all of that up there was pretty much for me to go back and look at later on and just to have. Overall I think I did alright. I was in the "warzone" the whole time, up until my nieces showed up. I was focused and angry and feeling hardcore until I looked over and saw them, then I turned into a softy and waved at them and looked outside a lot. For some reason that kind of snapped me out of the trance I was in. (Take karate and you'll understand what I'm talking about when I say trance.) After testing I went to Sonic and Taco Mayo with my mom to get my family food. I wolfed down some tamales and went to take a shower. I LOVE the clean feeling of taking a shower after I get gross. But anyways...
My head is really killing me. Every single time I've tested, I've always got sick right after, without fail. It happens for a number of reasons. Before testing I'm always so stressed out that my body kind of shuts down for awhile after the adrenaline rush and stress are gone. I think that's why my head hurts. Either that or dehydration. Either way, I just know that right now I'm wanting to crawl under the covers and sleep for a very long time, so I may post more tomorrow.
Goodnight :)
