Test in one week
This is the last week before the test on April 28.
For work, we have a project due on the same day, so this week will be busy. It’s possible I won’t be able to go to class as much as I’d like.
On Friday, I discovered that the prescription sports goggles I own were broken in half. I guess they broke after some years of wear and tear, and, Thursday night or Friday during the day, they were at the bottom of the gym bag, wedged underneath a hardcover book, with the judogi on top of it. It snapped just where the lenses join. Perle Vision says it might be able to get replacement goggles to me by Saturday, though there’s a chance I won’t get them until, oh, April 30.
On Sunday, I fell while doing hari goshi on Itai and strained his shoulder and arm. From this, I found out that it’s safer to grab uke by the head instead of scooping the body from under the armpit, since the head waves around much less than the arm, and won’t get strained, at least in that way.
He says he feels fine, but I see the Worst Case Scenario for the sankyu test developing, like a storm on the horizon:
I get to take the test by myself, half blind, without any extra training on scenarios or kata.
