Wow, my whole body hurts today. I tested for my orange belt in vale tudo yesterday. (The progression goes white, yellow, gold, orange, etc...each with 2 stripes before the next belt.) Hopefully I passed my test. I've been waiting for my orange belt for a long time. There's only a couple of active students ahead of me now that attend class regularly, Kristy and Issa. It was a very long test that involved a large amount of sparring and wrestling for very long periods. I really need to start running. I was totally out of gas by the end of the night. Feels like I was hit by a truck.
The internship is still great, going into my third week next week. I'm on a sushi kick, mostly vegetarian because i still can't get over that raw fish hurdle. I'm on my third book for pleasure reading since finals. And I bought a new journal as kind of a symbol of starting my new life as a college graduate. I have a couple of interviews for part time jobs coming up...disposable income is good...being poor is not.
Today is Kristy's birthday so we're supposed to do something later tonight. She's been really stressed and usually in a bad mood so I hope she can get past all of that and just have a fun night for once. I told Issa to have a party for her tomorrow at his new place, but he didn't seem too keen on the idea. I guess I'll be getting the cake then...someone should. I would be sad without cake on my birthday. (Which is actually coming up in a couple of weeks-the big 2-2)
That's about all for now. I get to go to Vegas next week, so if anyone has time to take me to the airport or pick me up on thu&sun, that would be swell. Please IM or call me. Have a good weekend everyone!
