=)
I finally graded last night!!! It was in Bridgwater which is a 2 hour drive away and could be called ChavVille, but contrasting the awful town, my grading went awesomely. Everybody was a complete stranger to me apart from my mom and my instructor; i don't know what i would've done without them there for moral support. After i was done my instructor gave me a cheerly thumbs up and so did my mom when i looked for her in the crowd for reassurance. I was so so nervous i think i didn't breathe through the whole thing. Finished with an A pass and a mention!! Mom told me that when i was called to stand up for i had received an A pass, she jumped up dancing through all the people and screaming. LOL... Insane? Maybe. Happy? Definitely.
I guess the 4 hours of driving, the hour and a half there and the exhaustion of a full day payed off after all. =)

Kick Wobble Wobble Wobble
There's this guy, John, in my taekwondo class and well... he isn't the fittest person in the world, if you know what i mean. Now i don't discriminate against a little gut, but this guy has like a... superXXLgut. Everything else is normal-ish sized though. We were free sparring, and everytime we end up together i aim for the belly-wobble. Since it's meant to be non-contact, i kicked it properly right at the end, not so it hurt, but just to satisfy my need to know how exactly "it would react" - as expected it wobbled as if in slow mo' like old jelly. He looked at me with a very surprised expression on his face =) Highlight of my day. I am so mean sometimes.

No Grading AGAIN
I'm beyond upset. I'm proper sad now. And to make me sad...it takes quite a bit.
God... another week. We went to the school where it was supposed to be and...well guess what?! There never ever was tae kwon-do at that school, EVER, let alone a GRADING. We found this out from a Karate instructor.......LOL........ Now... i'm trying not to believe this but i'm starting to think my instructor lied to me. I really really hope that my mother's instincts are wrong... Although her predictions were right.
I just can't even begin to comprehend how someone would do something like this.
First he says that it was cancelled because of some branches fallen after the storm or something (last Monday) - AS IF. Really now, what has the grading got to do with the blocked road? There are plenty of roads around!!
Second i find out that well... there is no grading today. And there never will be one at that school LOL. Since it only does KARATE.
Thirdly we waited for him to show up there, and he didn't- his excuse: was lost.
You don't just think of a random school and tell people to go there and then not show up, you just don't do that!!!
I'm telling myself that...he couldn't have...it's impossible... it must all be a big missunderstanding, it wasn't his fault.
And i hope to God that i'm right and my mom's wrong.
Gah and i was so so ready. I was so ready last week. And ready 2 weeks ago when i missed it because of Belgium. I can't wait until June to grade. I CAN'T. If i have to grade in Liverpool i will, and he'd better give me a lift there. =O
I am too sad for words. I just hope it won't turn into anger followed by hatred. I don't want to hate him. I'm supposed to look up to him, to follow his steps in the art.
I'm so disappointed..

No Grading
Ended up not grading Monday. Huge disappointment. I was so ready!! Grading upcoming Monday instead, yays! =)
Got a high A grade on english assessment, very proud of that. I can now go up to chavs and say: " Sucka, you've been speaking this all your life and you're getting an E grade :O " E grade...holy shit.
Eh well it could be worse, like... getting an U (ungraded). You have to try equally hard to get an A or U i think. I mean... Ungraded, how do you manage that??...true skills LOL. Will attempt it. But of course not on exams LOL, just for funzies on tests. On exams i'd rather aim for As, thanks very much.
Quasar tomorrow! Dark rooms and laser guns.. Awesomeness!!! =)

Big day tomorrow. Mom's birthday + Got english assessment with Mr. Copson... + Taekwondo grading. I'm actually looking forward to it!! Too bad Cliff'll miss my grading though. Whilst I punch air to impress judges he'll be chillin on a dive boat on the South Atlantic Ocean. Now..that's just not fair. He's gone for 2 weeks!!! Gone. =(
Good news though. My next victim is coming up. Romania...bring it onnn!!!! Motherland!!! Supposed to see my dad there too, haha. He's always a blast.
I always need something good to count down to, i'm too impatient.
