job, bujinkan, prince of persia

I can't really say much about my job due to privacy laws, so forgive me for the lack of hospital stories. I'm working most weekends this summer in an evening shift, so my social life would be non-existent if I wanted to have one *L* In whiny news, I really wish more people who know me would remember that I worked a full time job for 1 1/2 years in Japan. I know I look young, but this really isn't my first job. I promise.

Buyu training last night was really difficult, but I appreciated that we were training at a level where I felt like I was learning something. The basic set up was how to defend yourself while sitting in that not!Indian style when you're attacked by an opponent with a short sword. A lot of the defences involved getting perilously close to the sword, so it was hard to fight against your natural urge to get the fuck away from the sharp blade. (I think you feel more vulnerable when you're being attacked by a standing person while you're sitting too.) Jack was right there the entire time so I got a lot of critique and the inevitable moment where I had to teach the class. My partner was someone who I don't like training with much (he doesn't like training with me either), but he was only really annoying at one point and other than that seemed rather lost by the whole thing. I did my best to help him, but since it was hard, I required a lot of thought just to internalize what was being taught so I wasn't always up to helping him since I was trying to figure it out myself.

We saw Prince of Persia on Tuesday, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was pretty good. ( Spoilers )
