6 down/46 to go

This week was another week at white belt level, but at least there were two other adults in my class on Tuesday. I stayed a few minutes after class with Master Olson to discuss my next steps. I could have tested for gold belt that night, but decided that with only 2 weeks to go, I would just wait until the formal graduation night. I'm curious to see what the whole experience is like and to see how I do under pressure, performing in front of a larger group and with the head of the school observing. I've performed like this before for dance classes, but that was many, many years ago. Master Olson also paid me a nice compliment, saying that there are some advanced belts testing as well, who are very good and that I'm very good at my level and overall we would help make the school look good. Nice to hear and good timing. I was getting a little frustrated, even a little bored attending classes with 6 and 7 year old kids and repeating many of the lessons we had learned earlier. I keep trying to remember, repetition is good and starting at the lowest level is humbling and maybe a positive thing for me right now.
