5:46 @ Starbucks
Told ya. I’m back again at the Belmont & Clark Starbucks drinking some sort of juice that’s called “superfood.” Mmm hmm. I’ve kinda realized that the Clark bus comes around 5:20ish by my house, so it’ll be good to get myself timed appropriately in the morning.
Whoo…the Wednesday night turn around is going to be hard. I took Garza Sensei’s last Aikido class of the day yesterday evening before I started teaching my Japanese class. As always, it was a fun class. We focused on tai sabaki which roughly means body movement. Getting certain body movement patterns down is pretty vital to the process. I’ve been told that you want your body to react naturally to attacks, and the tai sabaki we practice definitely seems to be useful for that.
But to leave the dojo around 11:30, catch the bus home, and then to wake at 4:30, catch the 5:20 bus, and be sitting here at 5:49 (right now) is rough stuff.
We’ll see how I cope later on today. I’ve organized dinner with friends at 7:45pm.
I hope I’ll stay awake…
