Uni, kickboxing, shopping

We wrote fairytales in my university class today. Am I a cool teacher, or what? *L*

I'm kinda dead from kickboxing atm. What a work out. I came in and at first it was the usual (shadow boxing!), though I was kinda distracted by this really random guy who was seriously wearing the minimal amount of clothing necessary (all he had on were really short, thin red shorts) and was bronzed and toned to an inch of his life. Dear god, watching him kick... I can't recall seeing him before so I enjoyed the view (and even took some pics. *eg*). Then was a quick punching practice which was okay.

And then I was assigned the former Tae Kwan Do and Karate guy as a kick instructer. That guy worked me to my limit. He thought my low kicks sucked, but he loved my high kicks (leaving me to wonder when I actually got good at high kicks cause he's right I am strong with them, but I have no idea how that happened since I never trained to do them) and he had me doing so many reps... Also slammed my left toe into the training pad at least once so bruise from Fuji-san is killing me. (I wish that would heal, but the bruise is under the nail so I think it's either going to fall off or just stay there - forever!). So, then he showed me a rountine to do at home (which totals 180 kicks a day!) and lots of stretches which were fun. I'm about an inch away from being able to do a sideways split. Very cool.

A little pet peeve of mine is when someone asks you something in Japanese, being aware you speak very little of the language and they don't use a regular verb. Case in point, usually people ask you if you "can do Japanese" or if you "speak Japanese", but tonight, a guy asked me (I had to look it up later) if I had "mastered Japanese" while knowing that I only spoke a little Japanese. How in the world was I supposed to recognize that verb?

I forgot to mention but on Monday, M. and I stopped off at Toys R Us where I picked up Hallowe'en kitkats for my kiddies (since I have three kids classes on Hallowe'en) and ended up buying a Vash figurine and a Urahara figurine. Both look fantastic. Also bought a pufferfish paper balloon and a jellyfish in Shimonoseki to add to my aquarium (I have a bunch of paper balloon fish suspended from one corner of my cieling where they swim happily in the breeze from the air conditioning).
