Take up martial arts

i suck. i don’t have the discipline right now to do this, and i guess i’m too much of a stress case to stick with the tai chi and practice as is necessary! maybe when i’m older, touring the world in my shiny RV…

dudes—tai chi is freakin’ hard! i can’t see myself ever being adept enough to be able to use this stuff for self-defense. i can barely do the first two forms! but it’s a good challenge, and even though i feel like a big clumsy dork when Sifu comes over and corrects me a jillion times during class, i’m going to stick with it.

i had my first tai chi class yesterday—and i’m so glad i signed up! it’s really challenging, even though we did two “simple” stances. i went home with my thighs burning, which i guess means i was doing it kinda right. i’m looking forward to the next 9 sessions.

i’m signing up for tai chi classes at my community centre—yay!
