Anyway about a month ago or so life became a concentrated mass of swirling tests and quizzes and papers and talking. It was like a sudden acceleration in the classes, and they were like "Oh man, it's already midterm in a month and we have not packed enough into their heads yet." So literally since the last update I have been doing nothing but studying for the midterm. There's a few days in there where I was able to relax and chill with friends, but the majority of my time is spent with a textbook, which is less than awesome.
I say so because it has kept me away from Kempo for like three weeks, and next week is the week of midterms so there won't be practice even IF I could go to it anyway. So yeah, I know one form and one technique, and then the basic techniques and stances from the system. My internet connection is not stable enough to upload videos too often, but if I can get a stable connection I will definitely put some stuff up soon.
Really you guys can thank Mike for this entry; he sent me a message with news from your end, and it shook me into a realization that I had not updated in forever because I was so busy. There are not a lot of people I have been in touch with either, but... "I'm busy" is hardly an excuse.
In the free time I did have, I've joined the 12th Mobile Suit Platoon on the ZEON side in the game "Mobile Suit Gundam: Bonds of the Battlefield." It's a game where you pilot a mobile suit, sure, but the special thing about this one is that it has a 180-degree projection screen inside a pod with hand controls and pedals for boosting and jumping and such, and you can upgrade your mechs and get new ones. The best thing about it, though, is that inside the pods there are headset communicators such that you can communicate with whomever you are playing with. You cannot contact the enemy, but that would also be awesome:
*Sniper unit lines up shot, then radios the unit he's attacking*
"Good night, sir."
*Trigger*
If you have not checked out Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney yet, it is a necessity that you must. Because it is a game about being a lawyer, but it is fun. I am not sure who came up with the idea, but they have gained six levels just by style point bonus.
This part is for the green belts:
I will be simultaneously angry and ecstatic if when I come back you guys are senior rank.
Well I have a hot bath waiting for me, and then more studying. I will make the PROMISE to post this Friday, when the midterms are over. I will also see if I can just take some new video and upload it at school.
Good luck you guys. Whoever reads this first should tell Sensei that I updated for me.
...and thanks Mike.

wow, sounds like you got things to do, that gundam game sounds like a ot of fun, and so does the lawer game, anyway, i dont thing the grn will be snrs for a good 4-5 months, they havent even learned dharuma, let alone become comfortable with schemes 1-5, and if they do make snr before your back, there will be quite a lot of white and grn, so theres still something to be ecstatic about, anyway, i also forgot to mention that we grn snrs learned an attach from rolling position, and how to do three kicks in the air, although i dont think any of us will be able to acomplish it soon, considering that sensei had a hard enough time completing it himself, but he did eventually, and it was cool, also beth, dax, kristen, chris, jose, candice, kirstie, terra, and i have made a band, we havent made a name, sensei suggested that we should be called "the tengus" and thats our name currently, we may keep it until we can agree on something, and we are curently working on a christmas song.
