Got My Purple Belt, I Have.

I took my purple belt grading yesterday. Under Master Yoda. Hence the backwards title. Well, a giant cuddly toy of Yoda. But it was funny. Despite the fact I didn't feel I was ready for it, I passed. It's quite funny. Purple belt. When I joined, I was in awe of the purple belts. They were the second highest in the class, and the people I really respected (only Sensei was above them obviously). And suddenly I'm at that level, and I still suck. It's all very surreal. I mean, technically, I'm now closing in on black belt. At this level, I'm allowed (once I've done my coaching course, which unfortunatly got delayed until September) to open my own class, technically, and instruct people up until my level. That's so bizarre. I'm at the level where I can train others. Wow.

In other news, we saw Star Wars, and I really liked it. Cooper hated it, but the rest of the group thought it was great. I still moan about scenes with the Emperor in it, but that's because I never saw him losing anything ever. He was always invincible to me, and was always supposed to be in control, and suddenly here it all went wrong. But besides that, I thought it was good. No match for the original movies, but good.

On a more serious note, it seems a lot of people have problems lately. I blame the stress of exams. Unfortunatly, there's nothing I can do to help, which I kinda feel bad about. I just hope once these exams are over, everybody will be alright again because right now everything seems so crap for everybody.

Also: I got called the 'the most stable person on the Earth' by Emily, which is pretty cool. At least better than the fact I somehow accidently became nicknamed 'Jesus' the other night...
