shanmonster | I'm Such a Lamer

I'm making more progress in my kung fu. Last night, I think I finally got the basics down for Sil Nim Tao, my first Wing Chun form. I must have missed the sessions where we went over the form in detail, because I think I'm the only advanced student in the class who doesn't know it.

Afterwards, I did some sparring. It started off well enough. I fought Pete, and next, I fought Meredith. That's when the bad thing happened. As far as I can tell, we both attempted a low roundhouse kick on one another and pranged our ankles/lower shins. I've been hobbling about ever since. I modelled this morning, and the drawing instructor asked what was wrong with my leg. I hadn't even realized I was limping. If I concentrate, I can keep the limp away, so I'd better do just that this evening. You see, I have a dance performance. If you'd like to check out my limp-free dance, come to the SUB cafeteria tonight at 7:00 on the UNB campus in Fredericton, NB. The event is an AIDS/HIV fund raiser. There will be other dancers, and multicultural entertainment. Tickets are $7 at the door.

Tomorrow, after my Ashtanga class, I'm off to Moncton for the kwoon's Christmas party and a "kung fu Olympics." Although I don't know what the events are, I'll be participating. I sure hope there's a boobie prize, because I can't see myself winning! I'll have some pretty stiff competition. In any case, I don't need to win. I'm just going to do my best and see if I can beat my own records.
