*** 3rd ***

i spent the day with da, working on his applied project. we have a shared interest and attitude towards things spiritual, and we talked about them a lot - he gave me some good pointers for training.

we finished off the day with sushi at a place called kai, which was great sushi, and we ate a LOT.
like, i surprised myself... :$

*** yesterday ***

i got to bed around 2am, and got up at 9am - made my way to class, and spent a miserable (okay, i'm exaggerating) few hours there.

i went home, put laundry in the washing machine, and went to visit my charges - we ended up playing basketball for a half an hour or so, before coming back to my place to watch hunter x hunter and play tekken.
which, of course, was fun.

our washing machine is buggered. while they were here, i took my washing out - all completely soaked. the doo-dah is filled with water.
that SUCKS.

i then took the guys to taekwondo.

firstly, warmup was HARD for me (i haven't trained in weeks), but it was a lot better than i'd expected. and the flexibility, coupled with da's advice from saturday, really helped! i felt much better for it, and now as well.

i had a great fight with the guy who usually kicks my ass - i really managed to focus, and didn't suck at all.
go me!
i think the kids had fun - i'm hoping they're going to come again. all in all, though, i'm really having fun with them, and i'm trying to impart useful knowledge and help them out at the same time. i did a good 7.5 hours with them, and i feel that the time was really worth it.

*** today ***

i had two pastry thingums for supper, and am about to get into the shower.

the last couple of days i've really missed her - and i'm unhappy about not being in cape town with her. i was thinking today about all the things i'm missing out on, and its really upsetting.

on the other hand - life is good. not easy, but definitely good. i have a lot to be grateful for.
good friends, good health, and the universe seems to be on my side for the moment ^_^
