What I Really Did on my Summer Vacation

Rachel, Reid and I have just set up a martial arts training schedule of around three hours a day, at least five days a week - not to mention the possibility of going to Minneapolis to train on Saturdays. (I almost wrote Ann Arbor instead of Minneapolis. I don't even want to think about it, I'll be too tempted.)

While this may sound totally crazy, I am really excited - not just for the massive amounts of aikido training, but also for that feeling of being physically tired all the time. I haven't gotten that since the last of my crazy summers of backpacking, what, 3 years ago? It's a good feeling, and I've missed it.

And basically what this means is that with a weekly total of a 20 hour Taoism job, 8 hours of babysitting, at least 12 hours of aikido and 3 of Soo Bahk Do (I'm getting lessons from Reid), as well as 2 hours of being tutored in Chinese and the requisite time studying up, with all the down time I'm going to have I may as well be a full-time student.

...if by "full-time" you mean "paid, trilingual, incredibly fit, and totally badass."

I love summer.

You must be loving what you're doing to be doing all that you're doing. I thought that summertime was when the living is easy.

I miss you too! Maybe this weekend. How's your knee?

And on a completely different note, I just had one of those I-love-my-mom moments, after getting an email from her that said this: "I have no idea how I gave birth to someone so physically active." hehehee. Hopefully she won't be embarrassed that I put this up. I'm only doing it 'cause it made me smile. :)

Oh wow, that sounds awesome. You rock. Even if you are in Northfield.
