time

-This picture is of me and Sakiyo when we went to Disney land on Friday. She didn't smile for most of my pictures (maybe, as a 13 year old, she's too cool to smile) but she was really nice otherwise!-

I couldn't remember my password and usename last night. haha. Yesterday was rough. I woke upwanting to die, but I dragged myself to work. The morning classes were a real challenge even though I taught nice people. I was so tired that I was drinking massive amounts of green tea all morning. I taught Haruka, this four year old, who is THE sweetest cutest child in the entire universe. She repeated everything I said, and was content with anything I asked her to do. We made little dolls by cutting strips of paper and folding them accordian-like style. The book's lesson plan was stupid and too easy, so I had to ccome up with other things to pass the time, but that took a while, actually, because the folding wasn't easy for her.

I was debating not going to train since all I wanted to do was lay down and pass out. I ate some junk food, which was bad, but by the end of the day, I determined that I could walk and function so I decided to go to Tokyo and train.

I had to stand all the way there, but Moriyama-san showed up and asked me and Mizuho to teach three beginners. I used to love doing that, but it became a pain in the neck, especially when I wanted to train. I could tell these ladies wouldn't continue, but I guess who really knows? But I was pretty tired. I sparred after that, once with Mizuho MMA, and then with the other guys. Nakazawa-san is always fun to train with. He jumped on me and started to choke me once when I wasn't looking, which really makes me feel accepted into their inner circle. (He didn't get the choke, I got away hahaha). I think I tapped him with something this time, but I forget. Oh yeah, some scarf choke.

I managed to leave before I injured myself, but not before chatting in Japanese for like half an hour with everyone. I loved it- that's why I'm here. Unfortunately, I know the lack of sleep will burn me out, and in another day or two, I'm going to be unable to function properly. -_- I make this choice, though, because i'm a pro fighter. THese weekend training sessions are important for me. They're my hardest days. Like today, I was thinking about taking the night off, but since this weekend was "pro training weekend, I doubt anybody will go to practice on Monday, so I want to take K-taro's technique class on Sunday, which means I must go tonight.

I love his classes, though! And Mizuho will be there! I love Mizuho. :) I wish I could hang out with her more.

ANyway, time to go get ready for lessons...but this massage chair feels so good. What's more important, helping heal my body, or preparing for lessons? Hmm tough choice....
