Hey-yo....I'm just sitting around. its sunday and I'm not ready for the week to start. I've got so much to do. we have three get togethers and two of them are at our house...so yea, I have three days to get the house in tip top shape. not cool oh well. *does a litlle jig* it will soooooo be worth it. i stayed up real late last night. okay, well i only did cuz i really wanted to watch a larry the cable guy movie. but i went to a tournament yesterday. it was cool. and when we left the house to take the boys to TKD i realized i forgot my paper work that would let me ocmpete in the tournament. we left on friday as soon as we dropped the boys off at TKD. then we got halfway across town and i realized I left my bo staff at the TKD school. so we had to turn around and go back, but when i went in there i couldn't find it anywhere!!! i freaked out. but i found it. somebody had slid it up on top of the shelf shere it was really difficult to get to. but i grabbed it and ran out. so my mom and i started our very long journey up to Tecumseh MI. and we were really hungry so we were looking for food in Fort Wayne, and we couldn't agree on anything, and we accidentally missed our turn on to highway 69, so we had to improvize a route....lol I'm pretty good with a map...i got us there...4 hours later. lol but it was all good cuz we made it. well, when we got to our hotel room and it was like 53 degrees in there or something!!! it was sooooo cold1 i ended up sleeping with my mom and we doubled up the blankets and everything. it took it all night, till 6 in the morning to get to 84 degrees. it was cold! so yea anyway, we woke up and started to get around, but i didn't know what time black belt meeting was in the moring so i guessed 7:30 am. Because that was what time our region usually has it's black belt meetings. well we got to the tournament place at 7:00 am and there was like, no body there. there were maybe 20 people. who were almost all staff. lol so we hung out and i streched out and warmed up. black blet meeting turned out to be at 8:30. haha! laugh at me. but yea, i really didn't want to do XMA but i did it anyway, and i actually went in with a pre-made form. and i didn't forget my weapons form or my open hand form. i was really proud of myself. I BEAT COURTNEY FROST IN WEAPONS AND TOOK 1ST IN IT! SHE ONLY BEAT ME BY ONE TENTH OF A POINT ON OPEN HAND. I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF! and her instructor was the center judge and he gave us both 9.8s!!! then after the whole ring was done he came up to me and told me that i had improved so much it was unbelievable and that my form was impressive....right in front of Courtney! ouch that must have burned....I like Courtney okay...she just scares the crap out of me...i can't beleive i matched her!!! lol so yea, then my mom and I did absolutely nothing but walked around and ate oranges...and i hung out with Gabe a little and Becky alot. Becky is my tournament buddy. she is from illonios and going for state champ. she's awesome. i luv her to death. she is really inspiring she's really got alot of talent. so anyway, my mom and I watched the 17-29 2d and 3d degree ring. lol I'll tell you what there was some Eye candy in that ring. lol and mom was making fun of them because when a couple of them had messed up there weapons forms mom said that they looked at me. lol i really hate it when she points out stuff like that....lol not like i want them to think i'm eye candy too! lol but it wasn't the cute ones who messed up it was the not so cute ones. lol just my luck right? the cute ones didn't mess up. (unfortunately.) watching them sparr was cool! i saw some awesome techniques i can't wait to try. so when it got to the time when my ring got called i did pretty well. i got first in forms. and i boggled my chucks when i did chuck form. but thats okay. is still came out with 3d. and i went first. so that wasn't exactly great...but then in sparring i held my own really well. I had to sparr Becky. (she's in my ring) i got a really nice twist kick to the back of the head and another cresent kick to the head that put me a head of her. but we were tied up and she got the last point in with a punch...darn it...oh well it was still a really good match. lol i'm proud of myself even though I lost. so then i found my new friend who i met at instuctor camp who is like 20 years older than me, but he's an awesome guy. him and i have the same dreams and plans for our ATA futures. i met his like 6 or 7 year old son and got his contact info and all. lol but then mom and I felt bad cuz we weren't getting used so we booked it out of there, and started on home. we got to fort wayne and went to see twilight. it was awesome. we got home about 10:30. so yea that was pretty much my tournament experience. it was nice. yea i woke up about 6 this morning, layed in bed, txted for a little, then went back to sleep and slept till my mom called me at 10:30. her and dad went shopping. so yea...then we made or box things for the army and then eveyone dissapeared and now i'm sitting here bloggin away. okay well i need to write a new bo form for the next tournament, so i'll blog when something else interesting happens.
