Let's get physical

I finally got to register for classes last Friday and I'm pretty excited about it. Now, it's not because I'm taking micro-economics (oh god, no!), or because I'm taking three more classes for my major even though I was done with it last semester, but it's really because I'm embarking in a new kind of field, that of karate! Even though I seem fit I'm actually in terrible physical shape; I don't exercise or eat healthy, and I get dizzy spells all the time. The doctor says it's vertigo, my mom says I might have a neurological disease...mothers, always exaggerating. I think it's just annoying.

Anyway, I was reviewing my history of phys. ed. classes and so far I've taken regular old gym, fencing (what-what), yoga (not as relaxing as I thought), and tennis (just as bad as I thought). I read the reviews for the professor and apparently he's not only going to be working us to the pulp but also making us learn a substantial Japanese vocabulary. Not that I have a problem with that. The only thing that does bother me is that it's a Friday class, and so it kind of makes me feel like I'm back in High School because I haven't had gym or a Friday class since I graduated. Let's just hope senioritis doesn't ensue or I might have to kick its ass.

  1. Is it Gozhadze? I think I might know him through a friend of mine who is in taekwondo...Karate is actually good sport. It was my first martial art form that I've tried, from 9 to 12 years old. I think he will make it more of a workout routine for you guys, to get that sweat going... Anyways, you will def. have fun in a any case. Good Luck with it, if you need to brush up on some kicks before the test, holla at ya boy :)

  8. I think that's great. You will probably never have chance to learn something like that if you miss now. And Karate is very good for controlling your anger and mind controll. However, memorizing and saying Japanese words won't be easy. Good Luck. I like your music.
