Thanks, Nilly! It's good to be back. The trip broke my surfing rhythm. I need to get back to that. Not to mention the lack of punching people in the head...

Now I have that song from The Music Man in my head ("Talk a Little"), only the lyrics are now:
Surf a little, punch a little,
Surf a little, punch a little,
Surf, surf, surf, punch a lot, surf a little more

Kat, seeing as I also love cake and am also glad you were born, the piece of cake I'm going to eat tonight (which is my roommate's birthday cake - the Hebrew date of her birthday was yesterday), will be in your honor. It will, however, be way before your 7:00 gathering at your place, since I don't love cake so much as to eat it on 5am. Will that be OK?
ita, for how many days did you not krav?

FIVE. It was horrible. Plus, really, before that I had a cold, so I didn't so much krav as stand around and point out when other people were doing it wrong. Between the lack of exercise and the sitting on a plane, my back was not happy yesterday. But I took a stretch class, so it feels better. And they're throwing a shitload of classes at me this week, so my average will remain intact.

Ack! Then you don't love cake. Give it to me.

Excuse me while I go change my tagline.

Oh, I'm glad to read taht you feel better.

Classes to teach, you mean? I'm such a horrible skipper, I have no idea anymore at what stage you are.
Give it to me.
Come and get it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I WOULD LIKE SOME CAKE, PLEASE. No one I know here is having birthdays, dammit.

Nilly is a taunter. Pass it on.
My krav time breaks down into three categories: classes I take just for me, classes I teach or assist in, and mandatory instructor classes. This week kicks off the instructor classes for brown belt -- and it'll be tough. For all the previous levels, I was learning to teach stuff I'd already tested on. This time, although it's all stuff I've learnt before, I've never demonstrated mastery even at the student level.
So it'll be humbling.

Why do I click? WHY? I should know better by now.
ita, you have to learn how to teach a level you haven't passed yet? That seems ass-backwards somehow.

It makes the test a two-fer. I get my brown belt, but I have to demonstrate enough mastery to be able to teach it too. Since our group is only teaching/assisting through green belt (though we've done blue too), it's not like we'll be called on to lead classes on the material, like, EVER (there are only two classes/week at that level).
I was the highest ranked candidate going in, so it took this long for the syllabus to catch up with what I know. Others have been doing it as two-fers all the way from yellow belt. I don't envy them even a little. They're all good, but it's stressful.
