So, I tested today in Taekwondo. I was really nervous. It was in front of about 70 people. But.... I got promoted!!!!! I am now an orange belt =) !!!!!!!! My instructor was telling my that when I sit down (we were sitting on the floor) that its disrespectful to show the bottoms of my feet to the judges. But, when you sit criss cross apple sauce for a LONG time your legs get numb. My instructor (Mrs. Baker) was telling me a story about a girl that was sitting criss cross apple sauce and became numb. When her name was called up she stood up and sprained her ankle, but didn't notice it until half way through her form....Ouch! Also this one guy did the same thing, but he broke his leg. I can't wait till I'm a black belt!!!

Any now they are moving......This Saturday I am having a Belt test!!!! It is at 10am in Drain, Oregon. I'm very nervice and I hope it will be alright. I'll blog after I test, and wish me luck!

Updates
Well, I don't have really have any updates, but I thought I should blog. I went to Taekwondo Thursday. We did 80 jumping-jacks! It was a little painful. In December, I think, I am going to be testing for my orange belt. But I have to buy a uniform and the testing before I can test. So we'll see how that goes.
I have been missing swimming =( . I think a I'm fish or something! If I stay out of the water too long I die! I can't wait till next year's synchronized swimming!! Since I got promoted to a champion last year, I'm trying to pick out music for my solo. Any suggestions?

Disappointment and Fun
I had some disappointment Thursday. I went to my first Taekwondo session Thursday in Cottage grove. I sat down (along with the other students) and the instructor told us to take off our necklaces, bracelets, earrings, glasses, etc... Well, I just got my ears pierced about 2 months ago so I can't take them out yet (actually 9 more days!). So I raised my hand and asked what to do if I couldn't take my earrings out. She said I couldn't to Taekwondo =( . So I had to sit the for an hour and just watch all the fun they did. I was very disappointed. But I got to go to my friend Leah's house Thursday night so I was happy for that. After spending the night at Leah's house I got home and my other friend Shay called and I went over to her house. I went to the Oregon coast with Shay and her and it was miserable!!! It was so windy and cold and I went into the ocean until I couldn't stand it, ha ha. Then we went to her house and watched a movie an went to bed. The next day we mostly hung out till 4 o'clock then we went to a Young Woman's Activity at Green Hill. It was fun. Then we were heading to Splash (on Saturday's Splash is open from 1pm-9pm) and found out it was closed for the week. That was sad also.
