Amelia0308 posting! :D

Amelia0308 here! :D this is my first *actual* post since I haven't been doing AJ anymore! :D
So, I thought I'd let you know a little bit about what's going on in mah life right now! :D

 Sasha (that's my sister) and I have a pretty scary thing coming up.. we're testing TOMORROW to see if we can start black-belt training. O.O 


It's scary for two reasons: 


1) we might not make it


2) we might make it


Both are two equally scary options /).(\

If we make it, we will be required to go to the karate school every Friday and Saturday for three hours for a major heavy-duty workout. That lasts 12 weeks and is followed by 3 tests that each take 3 hours. Not written tests, mind you. PHYSICAL tests...


On the other hand, if we don't make it, we'll have two choices:


1) wait until Fall, and try again then


2) quit


QUITTERS NEVER WIN, 

AND WINNERS NEVER QUIT.


So, it looks like the only real option for Sasha and I is to eventually face our fears, and complete black belt candidate training... Anyways, we're going to, and it IS kinda scary. But! If you think about the afterward - the receiving the black belt part - it all seems worth it. Yes, it may be scary. But we won't die. We're gonna make it! AND have a black belt after it! :D 

So, sorry if this post sounds sort of rambling, but I thought it was something interesting I could post on. :)
Thanks for reading!
