Excitement

Last wednesday I was given the 'nod'. Which means that I have been invited to go for my Black belt. We had to do a test sort of thing. It was really hard. The test thing was taken by three black belts; Nick (2nd dan), Sarah (junior black belt) and Ming (adult black belt). I was doing the 'test' with two of my good friends. Karesha and Nat. Later on Ashade (hes a red belt). Our first exercise was holding plank position (ab exercise) for about 2 minutes. But if our knees touched the ground we had to start again. So we ended up going for about 5 minutes. then we had to do about 40 press ups more ab work. After about 40 minutes we couldnt walk or do anything really. Karesha and I stood up and just held on to each others arms. But that only lasted a few minutes. Then we were given weights. The weights (5 or 7 kgs) on our ankles, our feet had to be 6 inches off the ground with our hands in the air. after over a hour we were told to line back up. The whole time we had no idea what was going on so we just stood waiting. Then we were asked todo 10 press ups. Karesha Nat and I almost died, but we did them. We had todo them with our eyes closed. When we opened our eyes there was this expensive looking envelope in front of us. We were told to open and have a look inside. I slowly opened the envelope up, and inside there was heaps of paper, all of them ticks. I looked over my left sholder to my very good friend Karesha. She was crying, i felt like crying mmyself. But I didnt. Then Yorick asked us if we knew what it ment, I was speechless so I just nodded. Karesha said yes. That was all she could manage. After I got home I had a shower and I just stood there crying! It was Literally the happiest day of my life!!!

So in 2 months I will have todo another test called our blowout. Which pretty much will be 3 or 4 hours of none stop fitness, o and no talking to anyone. I think I will cry if I cant talk to anyone for like 3/4 hours... Then a month after that I will have to do my balck belt grading! Then I will be a junior b;lackbelt since I am not 16!!!!
