Tired, and a bit emotional.
Annoying day yesterday, coupled with the fact I'm half considering packing TKD in, Mr S keeps telling me I'm not good enough to even go for the gradings! I wouldn't mind but I've had people better than him telling me "oh 'im! He's a waste o' space that'll never amount to owt!" most of my life, I did not choose to be born deaf, disabled and mildly Autistic!
At least we've got a lot of good work on the Batman and Robin project done this morning, final Premier Pro project to do next week, and eventually it'll all end up on YouTube.

Hang on in there. Whilst it is nice to grade up, TKD gives many benefits both physically and mentally. I stuck on the same grade for quite a few years and then started progressing again.
How do I feel right now? Pi**ed off, because #2 has just had another lecture cancelled due to strike action. That means that nearly 50% of this module has been cancelled. There had better be something done about this.
To those just starting on the journey of life I say...
Bang your own drum. Walk your own path. Live wildly. Love fiercely.
As you near the end, look back with no regrets.

To be fair it took me nearly 6 years to get to blue stripe.
And Mr S is a good teacher, very patient, never gets mad at any student, not even me.
I think I'll stick at it, I've worked my bum off, almost literally, to get this far! Plus I have a lot of friends in class, and as you probably know, pals are a valuable commodity these days and it's best to keep them.

Just got up, probably a bit too early, but like I nearly always do, I got up for a wee, didn't realise what time it is because my watch has died, and got dressed.

Still very stiff and sore. Hope I can beat this virus off quickly.

You training tonight? Seeing as I'm not grading on Wednesday I'm half considering skipping class tonight, I might still go for the practice.

Annoyed.
Solo Sikoa sucks, he helped Roman Reigns beat Cody Rhodes last night! All the hype for Rhodes and the match ended like that? WTF?!
