We got about a foot of snow. Craziness. I still had to go to work. I also had a surprise party for a friend of ours. So I just got home. Anyways, my big news is that my best friend Amie got engaged to her boyfriend, now fiance, Jeff. I am so happy for them.
I can’t wait for their wedding.
On Wednesday, I had a pretty good day at Jiu-jitsu. It was the first day that I was allowed to roll! When the class first started, I was not asked to go with the new students this time. I was allowed to participate in the actual class! Vlad and I worked on two half-guard sweeps, then everyone started sparring. I just sat there for a minute not knowing what to do. I had never be
allowed to stay.
Let me just say, I pretty much sucked. This is what I expected. I am still too scared that I am going to hurt someone, and found myself apologizing constantly. I’ve got to get over it. Also, I had a really hard time remembering what I had learned, and what I can do. I felt ike a retard. After class, Vlad and I worked together a bit, which is always fun! The good hing is hat even though I sucked hard, I am not discouraged. And I still love it!

I have complained before about not having anything to watch while I worked out. Well, finally, after starting to watch MSCL again for the 5th time now, I decided I needed something else to watch. So I purchased Friends on DVD. Not as good of a show as MSCL, but there are like 9 or 10 seasons or something like that, so it gives me a lot to watch. I think I still may finish MSCL…it’s a weakness.

19. That is how many more days I have left until Christmas break. I cannot wait! I always get really burnt out towards the end of the year. I can’t believe how fast the wedding is coming. It is really scary.
On Saturday, we have a club jiu jitsu tournament to go to. I obviously am to new to participate in the tournament, but Vlad is participating, so I am going to watch him. I have decided to keep a Jiu-Jitsu training log. Just a simple log, or b-log if you will, to keep track of what I learn. It’s located at http://www.bjjgirl.com and is just a plain old wordpress blog, for now at least.
Also, this weekend we our having our annual friends christmas dinner and drinkfest. We usually do this at The Keg, and then go out afterward, but this year, The Keg was booked, so we are going to Buda. I have never been there before, but I hear it is really good.
