Just what I needed
This weekend has been exactly what I needed to start the exam period with. After some minor disappointment on Friday, it all worked out beautifully. I got lots of work done, hung out with a couple of girlfriends from the dojo at school, ended up racing down to VB to see the LYM and had a lovely, lovely evening with him. I spent most of today at his place studying. God willing the meat of my paper is done and it's just a matter of fiddling with things and plugging a few holes, then fixing the citations, and I am finished. A day tops. I got a very nice phone call from C back in CA, she's taken it upon herself to see that I get those pep-talks I need so much, which I am eternally greatful for. I can't wait to see her and everyone else over break!
Then I went to kendo. The workout was kind of miserable actually, we ended up doing some capture the flag thing all over the high school, which I was not that excited about, but after class our head instructor presented some awards which had messed up at the big clinic a few weeks back. And she called *my* name. Me. Heidi. For a rather big-deal sort of award with Sensei, who has seen me a total of 3 times, hand-picked *me* to get. Only two of these went to anyone in kendo. Wow. I'm still too tired to fully appreciate this, but...yeah. Sensei scares the living daylights out of me, and yet he noticed me, and thinks I am doing well, and that means more than any exam grade ever good.
Now I'm back at the LYM's, studying 1st Amendment law, waiting for him to get home from a family dinner, and so looking forward to showing him this trophy.
