Friday:
What a day. This is my 2nd installment of why I loathe the TX DPS. I received my birth certificate so I headed back to the DPS to try and get my driver's license. Yeah, it went dismally. I think they love to make this process as excruciatingly painful as possible. Apparently if you let your license expire that means your driving skills also expire or become impaired. If you allow your license to expire even in the same week then you have to take a written and driving exam. Yes, you are reading this correctly. I took my written exam but was told I'd have to come the day I wanted to take the driving exam in order to make an appointment. There were no open spots for that afternoon. That's right, you have to drive down there and make an appointment even though you have no idea what slot you'll receive. You can't call in or do it online. Can I get a show of hands for how backasswards this is?
The rest of the day I just hung out at the house doing this and that. Bryan and I attended a short stick seminar taught by a 7th degree from Alabama. It was a pretty cool event. It was geared toward using any stick in a street type fighting...basically using a weapon you could commonly find in easy and logical ways.
After the stick seminar we met up with a few other's at Ben's house, and then we all went to see Zach and Miri Make a Porno. The movie was sooo hilarious! Then it was bedtime. :)
Saturday:
It was just another Shaolin-Do Saturday. We were there early for Bryan's class then lunch then back for my class.
That night we celebrated Jason's birthday by going out to eat at a Hibachi restaurant. It was a lot of fun. The food was good and the chef was great entertainment.
Here are the pictures from the dinner:

Sunday:
Sunday we got some much needed things done around the house and a few errands taken care of. We went to Game Over and traded in some things and got some new games for the Gamecube. We then worked on a Christmas project of mine and then finally played the games we purchased...good day indeed.
It was our 9 month anniversary! :)
Monday & Tuesday:
I spent both days at a school in Leander observing more classrooms. I'll just say again that observing is quite boring....quite. The school was nice and everyone is friendly, but I'd rather be standing at the front of the room than sitting in the back. I would like to teach here in Leander; it's close and the schools are very nice.
Monday night I went to Kung Fu. My material has really come along though my sparring was terrible. I was actually told I would be testing on Wednesday so we'll see. Tuesday night I went to TKD where my sparring was still terrible and my form has really suffered thanks to my new found love of Kung Fu. I have also come to really not like the TKD school that much. I'll be glad when my time there is done I think. I think that most of it has to do with the change of owners but some is credited to seeing it with new eyes after seeing what a real school can be like.
Upcoming Events:
- Wednesday: Kung Fu Testing (?)
- Thursday/Friday: High School Subbing (1st time! - scary!!)
- Saturday @ 3PM: Shaolin-Do Open House (won't be there because....)
- Saturday @ 3:30PM: TKD Testing (from blue belt to senior blue)
