Dear Nina,
Day Fourteen of Building Our Deck
Day One of Tae Kwon Do
Whoa! Alot happend today. I woke up at 7:00 AM this time and saw my parents off. Then I fell asleep in the living room for about an hour, but it felt like 4 hours. Then I went to my bedroom and went to sleep again for 2 hours, even though it felt like 30 minutes. Haha. Then we ate lunch. I was pretty much in a bad mood too. I mean, I couldn't get the DVD player to work so we had to watch regular TV. AND I WANTED TO WATCH A MOVIE! Oh well. We just watched TV in the kitchen anyway. I guess it was a good idea not to watch a movie because the workers would hear us and they're not supposed to know we are here by ourselves. And when I say workers, I mean the workers building our deck. It seems they made lots of progress today on our deck! So after eating, I got some Pocky and read Naruto. Then I went on my computer. *sighs* And what I did on my computer changed my life alot. Well, not really. But I deleted my world, "Anime Party". GOODBYE! *sobs* It was really hard. And I really loved that world, but I know I would never really use it again. Too bad. But I replaced it with a world I made on anouther account that time when I said I was doing something secret on TheOtaku.com. Yes, it was "Shugo Chara Tebiki". It's my newest world! WHOOT! And I spent a few hours making it. Well, I already had it made on the other account I made, but I still had to copy it onto this account! Haha! Yeah. Goodbye Anime Party! Oh well... Anyway, then I went downstairs and read Naruto #17 on the computer. Then I read it on my brother's computer. And then my dad came home.
Yeah. When he got home, I had to rush to get ready because we were supposed to be ready when he got home! And after getting ready, he told us we could stay home for like 1 more hour. *growls* And during that time, I drew. And then we left. That's right! TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF TAE KWON DO CLASS! Just like the Self-Defense Class I had before. My mom signed us up again. She really liked the Self-Defense class. And my brother and I REALLY didn't want to go. I really would've chose death instead of going. But of course, death is not an option. *jokes* But I really didn't want to go. I REALLY DIDN'T! And while we drove there, I was happy because at first the entry way was closed, but then the other side was open! NOOO! And then we arrived. I really DID NOT want to go. DID NOT, DID NOT, DID NOT! I think I made my point. When we got there, they already started because we were late. But then my brother and I quickly slipped our shoes off and got into the line. There were only 2 other little boys. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW HAPPY I WAS! No Mac and Angelique! Just little boys who don't care about me! Now I don't have to be embarrassed! Haha! But there were these two other girls about the age of 9 helping us. They are students of our instructor (same guy from the Self-Defense class). I couldn't believe the instructor remembered my name too! Anyway, first we did these types of walks. And then we had to kick as high as we could. Then we stretched. Ugh. The first stretch hurt ALOT. I had to wait for everyone in that position because nobody else could do it right. And when we finished, as soon as I stood up, my left leg felt so WEAK for about a second. Then whenever I put my weight on it, it would start shaking uncontrolably. WOW! That never happend before. And then we continued on other stretches, and my left leg would shake again. And it's weird because you couldn't really tell by looking at it, but if you looked closely, you could see it shaking ALOT. And then we did these stances. I couldn't really remember all of them because I was busy paying attention to my left leg. Then we did kicks. We really did that for a while. We did the straight foward kick, then the one that goes around. I did pretty good! Then one of the boys called for a bathroom break. And then that's when my leg stopped shaking. And I then drank water. Hmm. My mom wasn't here yet either. Then we got out the sheild things and the two girls held them while we practiced the kicks. And then my mom came. I WAS PRETTY GOOD! And it was fun! I messed up a few times, but my brother and I did good. But the youngest boy didn't do so good. Haha. Then we got out the smaller sheild things and we hit them. YAY! I WAS GOOD! Then we went toward the wall and held this pole for balance. Then we had to do high kick exercizes. That was pretty hard. I couldn't even reach as high as the 9 year olds. But the others were as bad as me. And it was a hard stretch too. I feel bad for the 9 year old girls though. Whenever they mess up with a question or whatever, they have to do 10 push-ups. This one girl's face would go read! And her mother was really strict about it too. In the end, I saw her practicing with her daughter a handstand. Wow. And whenever I kicked, she would almost fall down. I'm pretty tough! HEHE! Then one of the dads volunteered to help me. Why do I always have to be the one taught? Then in the end, our instructor (I will call him Master) showed us the bowing stuff. And we bowed. Actually he showed them that in the beginning when my brother and I were late going there and not there at the time. So my brother and I were really clueless. Who were we supposed to bow to? Haha. Then it was over! Wow, 1 and a half hours! It started at 5:30 PM and ended at 7:00 PM. The Self-Defense class was only an hour! And once again, my mom's curse succeeds again! I enjoyed myself. GRRR! Why do I always end up enjoying myself!?
We then headed home. And we talked about the class in the car. But first we went to the Public Library. Good thing it closes at 8:00 PM! I got some Naruto volumes and got my books on hold. Hmm. There wasn't much people in the library. When we got home, I went biking by myself. My brother didn't want to come. And then I saw this boy riding his bike too. He's weird. Then I went inside. Then I went inside my brother's bedroom and drew. Then I ate dinner (last night's leftovers). Then my brother and I faught alot. I mean, we faught in his bedroom. He was just so upset because he couldn't draw. I say he can draw, but he thinks he can't. And then he threw stuff at me and we faught each other. And then we got in trouble. Then I went downstairs and then we faught each other again in my mom's bedroom for about 15 minutes while watching TV. We faught for about an hour in his bedroom. We really do hurt each other. Heh. And then I took a shower. And then my brother fell asleep in his bedroom. Then I went on my computer and watched Special A. It's pretty cool. It reminds me of Ouran High School Host Club though.
Question and Answer:
Q: Do you like your Master?
A: He's okay. This morning, I really told myself I hated him and didn't want to go back. But after seeing him again, I know I was just saying that because I didn't want to go back and see him again. Why? Because I didn't want to participate in anouther class. Why? It's embarrassing. But of course I thought that too when I first entered the Self-Defense class. I just thought this time it would be more embarrassing. But it ended up being fun, like before.
