In kendo club, I've just been practicing my swing and stuff like that. Then I had my actualy first duel on Friday. During the first time, my kerchief kept falling over my eyes, so I couldn't see, and there was like this Japanese war machine guy just pounding me and I was like AHHHHHHH. Then the second time, Tama-chan tightened my men mask so I could see better and I WON. I WOOOOOOOON! I was so surprised! So I moved on to the second round, but I lost the second round.
Saturday morning, we did kenjutsu in kendo club. It's very old, stylistic martial art that looks a lot like a dance. It's very beautiful. Look it up on Wikipedia becuase i don't feel like explaining and I really had no idea what was going on. But it was fun! Miamoto-sensee taught me. He is so amazing; I love Miamoto-sensee. He's really kind.
Anyway, then I went downtown with Laurent, Max, Josefa, Adisson, and Fuyu. IT was so much fun. Then I went to a sumo restaurant for dinner.
Today I went fishing with Rotary. I caught a piece of trash and three fish. Yay. I'm so exhausted.

Yes, Kendo is very exhausting, isn`t it? I just had my first match the other day as well. I have only had draws though. It`s so hard to do all those techniques right in a single moment. Well, sounds like your having a good time!
