  While I was at judo today, the instructor took a few of us white belts aside and started asking us all sorts of questions, and to perform all sorts of techniques. It was difficult– mostly because I haven’t taken the time to learn the japanese names for everything.  If only there was a manga about judo that I could read!  By the end of the night– I was promoted to a yellow belt.  I was surprised, because I didn’t really even realise that I was being tested– but I guess that means I’m doing pretty well!

   

  After manning the Baduk Club stall today, I stopped by a badminton shop that I discovered in the area near my university.  They sell all sorts of brands, but mainly VIctor products, which I’ve never really used. I did pick up a pair of badminton shoes for [CM]– and when she tried them on tonight in the apartment. We’ll be playing badminton tomorrow.   She was pretty psyched that they were a perfect fit as well.

   

  I guess despite  all the difficulties of life, we’re finding small ways to move forward.  I think these things are important.
