I don't take things lightly most times and this was no different. I passed through the morning angry, disturbed, depressed, soaked in despair.
Fortunately I was able to lose myself in a book at several intervals and use music as a push in completing the things I set out to do. Each was completed by the end of the day.
Of course there's always something else left to do but I won't worry about that today, my day off.
Between the end of the work day and the beginning of karate I'd tripped out of the stupor with the help of my mother (and also Erie). I felt much better
Karate was extremely good though I wished I'd pushed myself more. I'm hoping I get through the grading and pass. My ankles and knees are acting up a bit but not too much that I'll have to sit out.
Oddly enough, Sensei hasn't said I won't or will but I'm rather confident. How odd? Neither am I nervous. What Shakeema said around the time of the last grading proved to be right and helped greatly.
I asked her about being nervous. She responded that she wasn't because she found it unnecessary. This intrigued me simply in the way she said it. Being pushed she continued explaining that at first she'd been nervous, after the first something happened (I don't quite remember what) and she wasn't nervous and she did just as well. Realizing that the nervousness didn't do her any good and everything went as well or better without it she relaxed and apparently hasn't been nervous about a grading since.
It's simplicity reigns above all but it took her saying it in the way she said it for me to get over my nervousness (in karate).
Today I've got a few things to do. Hopefully I do complete them both leisure and work.
Preparing for Sunday's Grading and Fashion Show
Preparing for NaNo, researching

Watching Expendables
Locating a few certificates
