So, considering my last post was already kinda grumpy, my day managed to get even worse. BIG SURPRISE, I KNOW. Let's just say I got a paper back that I thought was a little more free-form than the prof apparently wanted, and managed to get the worst grade I have ever gotten on a writing assignment.
So, I was very, very deep into my "I hate the world" place. (I have tendencies towards misanthropy.) Then I decided to say "screw it" and try something new that I'd been toying with for awhile: kendo.
Let me tell you, internets, hitting sticks together and focusing your attention on doing small, precise movements over and over (I must have swung that bokken over 100 times) to get them right does wonders for your temper and general feelings of apathy. I also feel more awake now afterwards than I have all day.

And hitting sticks together is AWESOME stress relief.

The grade, well, I get a rewrite, so that might not be the final actual grade. I made an appointment with the prof to discuss exactly what she wants, so hopefully the rewrite will go better.
And yes! Hitting sticks! I think I kinda like kendo. I'll probably go back at least a few more times before I decide for good whether to dive headfirst into it.
