I recently tested and earned my 5th kyu in budo taijutsu, which is 5 belts away from black. I love martial arts. I recently also took up Aikido, mostly for the philosophical enlightenment. As far as fighting is concerned, I am much better at taijutsu, and I enjoy it more. Aikido is fun though, and it has helped my taijutsu improve.

That wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be once I sat down and tried it. Very thought provoking…
Worth Doing!

Just yesterday I got back from Hawaii, where I had a botany internship. The main job was to remove invasive species so they don’t crowd out the native species. It was a sweet job. I still want to visit the Amazon rainforest, but the internship in Hawaii made me realize that I’m not really interested in field biology. As much as I love being outside and camping and backpacking, field biology is not quite my cup of tea. I think I would like to do medical research instead. But it was still a fantastic experience, and I learned alot. Well worth it!
