Long weekend
May. 28th, 2008 10:56 amLots of fun stuff went on over the long weekend, and thank GOD for that, because I would've been crabby as hell if I'd had to work on Monday. XD
The UO wushu crew came up, and the UW wushu team came down, so everyone in the "Northwest Wushu Alliance" (haha) converged here in Portland, and Brandon and Peter came all the way up to share their 1337 wushu knowledge and hang out with us. Nathan's mom was also nice enough to host all 20-some-odd people at their house after we finished training, and she was all-up-ons with providing party snacks!
Having good coaching is *such* a treat, and our teams would be so awesome if those guys could train us all the time. I felt super-weak that day, but it was still good to train and get focused advice. I don't get as much of that as I'd like at my wushu school, because, well, I'm a fast learner with good basics, so they spend more of their time teaching the kids with short attention spans. Sigh. I wish there were all-adult classes, so they might actually train us harder. :/
Anyhoo, we hit up Astoria on Sunday, which was cool, and we got to do some hiking around while we were out there. I was a bit grumpy that Fort Stevens closed before we got out there, but there was still plenty to do. :)
We did some ice skating with Serafin on Monday, and although we were only out there for an hour or so, I managed to not fall down at all! Bwahaha. After that, we had a quick client meeting and it was pretty much vegging time after that, because we were all tired, or at least, Serafin and I were.
It's been swamped here at The Job this week, and I'm sure it won't be stopping anytime soon. Jeezy! I wish I was getting better sleep.
