Thought I should mention...

...that my last post wasn't about anything serious or the like. Just a story about a couple of people SERIOUSLY irritating me, which was kinda funny in the end (but not really). So, no need to worry folks! I'm actually feeling pretty positive about things right now-
  • College will be over in a few weeks and I'm fairly confident about my mark for my Graded Unit, and I know I'll pass everything else so there's no real need to stress about that.  Can't help but worry a little, but I wouldn't be as hard to get everything right if I wasn't!
  • I start back at derby practice on Tuesday and although I'm panicking about how good all the newbies are, I can't wait to meet them all! AND can't wait to be skating with M and S (no not Marks n Sparks!) again! It'll be nice, the three of us getting the underground etc together again, cos S is on our training committee so she comes on Tuesdays again.
  •  With college finishing, I'll have more time and energy to myself, so myself and a couple of girls from college are trying to find new things to take up during the summer, including going to the gym together during the week and maybe a summer class or something.
  • Taking F's advice, I'm thinking about taking up Muay Thai. She said it'd be great for improving my fitness and strength, which will in turn be good for derby, which is good!
So I'm trying my hardest to focus on what I'm excited about right now, which is helping me be in better spirits these days. I'm not going to lie to myself and pretend all my problems are gone just because I'm in a good mood, but I like to imagine that if I'm in a better mood then my problems wont seem so unsurmountable.


Let's hope I can hit 27 feeling a lot lighter in many different ways :)

  4. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

    "Muay Thai (Thai: มวยไทย, RTGS: Muai Thai, IPA: [muɛ̄j tʰɑ̄j]) is a hard martial art from Thailand. It is similar to other Indochinese styles of kickboxing, namely pradal serey from Cambodia, tomoi from Malaysia, lethwei from Myanmar and Muay Lao from Laos. Descended from muay boran, Muay Thai is Thailand's national sport."

    Basically, it kicks ass! What I discovered from a girl I know who does it is that you don't HAVE to spar or fight anyone, you only compete if you want to :) seeing as it's be really hard to find anybody in my weight category anyway I can't see me sparring anytime soon! Still trying to decide...might go see the local guy this week!
