I just feel kinda blah right now; it sucks, really. I want to be excited about stuff, and honestly, I certainly have a lot to be excited about right now, but I feel pretty down any ways.
Who knows.
This too shall pass. Yoga tonight was good; Casandra gave us a nice guided muscle relaxation in chavasana tonight. But aside from yoga, I decided to give my body a little break because I'm really sore right now (my quads are killing me). I have karate at 5:30 tomorrow, but I'm gonna hold off on skating until Friday.

!!!
So I totally aced my job interview today; the first manager I spoke with just loved me, and virtually hired me on the spot. Although they still need to check both of my references still before I'm officially offered the job, that should be nothing. So I have a decent job for the time being, and I'm really happy about that.
I wound up being at Wal-mart for over two hours today, and following that, I had karate lessons. We spent the whole class working on downward block and then did some more work on Heian Shodan, the first Kata. Every day I see tangible improvements which is really encouraging, although I still have quite a ways to go; but I'm completely fine with that. I'm not in a hurry to get the next belt, and being totally new to martial arts period, I need to take things much slower than most of my peers, who I've found tend to be familiar with at least one other discipline.
After karate, I came home and played Scrabble for an hour, then went down stairs to help my mom with preparing dinner (she made this awesome stir-fry and manaeesh, an Arabic dish) before driving to Roller Garden in Saint Louis Park to meet up with Angie and skate for about an hour and a half, which of course was super fun. Not to mention one hell of a cardiovascular work out. I'm definitely getting much better at it -- I didn't even fall once the entire time!
Tomorrow I may go to an early skating session with Angie from 12:00-3:00, and then I've got yoga. Hopefully I'll hear back from the Wal-mart manager, Reed, as well. But right now, I'm sleepy as hell (surprisingly)...
