Ow.

I think I hurt myself last night. Actually, no, I know I hurt myself last night. My left shoulder is all achy and stiff.

Damnit, I wanted to attend class tonight. I've only got a couple minor things to work on for my basics and combos, and I'm ready to test for Red belt next month, but I need to get to class for that.

My sparring is great, and forms are not a problem for me, but the blue belt combos are turning out to be a real bitch. I either can't see what I'm supposed to be striking, or I have to twist my head and torso around too far which totally fucks up my balance. Damn you, left eye! It'll be less of a problem as my flexibility increases, and I can get my head around further without forcing my body around (thusly, allowing me to actually see my target), but right now it sucks.

I'd really like two working eyes. Anyone know when I can order a replacement? That's technology that I can't wait to see. I've never had actual 3d vision (this has caused minor injuries as well, since I'll misjudge target distance by about an inch or so, and kick with toes instead of instep: OUCH!), and I'm sure it'd be a cool new experience.

This is so backwards for me; sparring is usually my weak area since I don't really enjoy it, and basics/combinations and forms come to me fairly readily.

Fooey.
