The Carrot is Orange

I'm eating noodles, and they're good.

It's snowing outside. Now I understand why I woke up with a headache, and why my ADD seems to be worse today -- ooh shiney!

*cough*

So yesterday... was my Karate graduation. Our kind went first, the white-belts. So we did the stuff we were supposed to do; punched and kicked and all that. And then we bowed, and it was over.

Or at least I thought it was over.

Suddenly, me sensei called me and a friend over. I thought, "oookay, what's up?"

He smiled. Then he explained. "We thought that the both of you were really good. So, we would like you to have a 'double graduation' of sorts, and try to move up to an orange belt instead." (We were supposed to graduate to yellow belt)

At this point, I was like "whoah!"

Then I protested weakly, or rather "protested" weakly. We haven't learned the moves - what are the moves? We don't know the kata - we've only seen it twice!

But he insisted anyway. And so we went for it. And as predicted, I completely messed up the Heian Shodan kata xD And I just found out today that my very own mother LOL'ed at moi when I messed up. Thanks mommah.

Long story cut terribly short - I got ze orange belt!! w00t!!! Ze orange!!! YEAH!

I'm proud.

And I think one of the main reasons for this lucky break is the fact that I ran past ze sun!!
