Katana master wa!

Um, so yesterday I went to school and then afterwards I helped these two students with their English speech contests and then had to bend over backwards to get some sort of fake transcript from school for college, but turns out that I actually don't need one; oh, well.
This morning, my homeroom left for their month-long trip to New Zealand. I'm gonna miss them so much; I'll be going into another homeroom for that period.
Then I had kendo. We did katana. That means that you just wear the under-kimono and wave a wooden sword around. It's like a dance! The routine I learned today was:
Katana in right hand, bow slightly, switch katana to left hand, crouch on the floor, rise, go back five steps, go forward three steps, strike men, go back two, strike kote, go back two, strike dou, go back two, strike tsuki, then go back two, then lower the katana, go back five, go forward three, strike kote/men, then go back three, then go back five, then go forward three, then strike katana/men, then go back two, then crouch, then put the katana on your left hip, then rise, put the katana in your right hand, then go back five steps, then bow, and you're done! Anyway, it was really fun because everyone was trying to teach me. After that, I went downtown to catch the train and ran into Laurent, Addison, and Sakiko, so we hung out for a while and then I took the train home.
Monday I have to get up at like 5:30 am for a kendo meet. Not really looking forward to getting up that early............................. yadda....... But the kendo meet should be fun. Ok. done.
