Respite

Reading week is over; yesterday was my first day back in school after having the week off. I really enjoyed the time off, I was feeling very stressed coming up to the break. A large load is off my back, one round of exams over, and a few big projects finished. It feels good to have a mini restart in the same semester. Reading week is there for a good reason.

In other good news, I bought a car during the break. So things should finally get back to normal and I’ll be able to make it out to Kung Fu again. I was back on Friday and Monday and it felt fantastic. Practicing Me long koon again (I have no idea how to spell that properly) made me feel like a super hero. It’s fantastic being able to get around again.

I’ve been thinking a lot about creating a hand form lately. So for my next project, which I plan on starting right away, I’m going to create a tiger style form. I have some ideas already and talked to Sifu Brinker about what goes into a good form. Creating a hand form has always scared me a bit since it’s easier to screw up then a weapons form. I have an idea of what I should be aiming for, now I just need to make a good outline. It being the year of the tiger I couldn’t have better timing on this one.
