Okay, had fencing on Tuesday!
A bunch of new people were there. I was stretching out with Jamie.
Charlie walked over, with the huge mass of kids and one teenager with him. He asked me to get them stretched out. Grr. There was a lot of them. He ask me last time *feels proud that he chose me*
So I was like "Okay, we have to get you warmed up forst, so run some laps around and then we'll start." They looked a bit uncertain, and then I did the silliest thing. I... shoo-ed them. Suprisingly they all went for a run. Then I realized they weren't going to stop 'till I said they could and I told them when they felt warmed up to come on over.
I showed them some legs strechts and told them how important it was to stretch. I didn't feel nervous in speaking in front of them.. it felt.. right? Maybe I'll volunteer to teach a beginner's class when I'm done with all my lessons. Charlie certainly has high hopes for me, it seems.
So, anyway, then another guy took them over, explained the different swords and whatnot. We did advances and retreats, nothing special. A bunch of double-retreats, as well. Boy, I'm not in good shape, I should practice more at home... my legs were literally shaking. >.<
Ooh, then we did some lunges. I'm proud to say I did pretty smoothly, and a number of the new beginners were watching.
Then...BOUTS!!! Yay.
I bouted Jamie first and I won 3 to 0. Then I fenced Max, which I hadn't done in a while and won 3 to 2. Whee. I'm on a winning streak. Eh, so I didn't have much to update with today, sorry guys.
I missed Zach in the hallways today, thanks to Lisa. She pulled on my arm and made me drop my books.. by the time I got to his locker he was walking to class and I cound't get around the fat guy in front of me. -.-
