Hey guys! I was in the van for about 4 1/2 hours and I had been stared down by my friend, fixed my hat approximately fifty times, and murdered a child.

Ah, the good times. Lol, no.

We left Friday at six and arrived in SC at around 11:00. Me and the four other girls I shared a room with stayed up till 12:30 before we crashed. Ehhhhh.

So the next morning we got up at 7:00 and got ready, went to breakfast, and left at 8:30 to the gym that was about five minutes from where we were.

I sat on a bench for six HOURS. Granted I got up a few times and stretched. But SIX HOURS just watching people do forms, spar, and break boards. It would hurt anyone's back. I say there from 9:00 to 3:00.

But I did cheer on my friends and played a few games on my phone. Plus!

So I did forms and messed up on the LAST TWO MOVES! I felt so bad and nervous I shook for about thirty minutes. And I lost. I got second place out of two people.

The worst part is, one of the three referees was from my studio and saw me mess up and go back. And he said he would've voted for me had I not STOPPED AND WENT BACK. 😭😭😭😭

Oh well. There's always next tournament.

OMG, my friend and this boy that he had met at a seminar was there. And they were sitting beside each other, and her mom started TAKING PICTURES. And he didn't even know it. So than a bunch of us started to discreetly take pictures of them and send them to her mom.

So then everyone start teasing her and I won't say specific names, but their ship name is Denna.

But! I went against the same girl in sparring and scored first place! It was 28-16, high score for older divisions. I didn't do my best since I was already tired and had sat around most of the day.

But she did kick me so hard that I couldn't stop my raspy coughing. And I'm still coughing bad.

So then we go to this place called Lizard's Thicket. The poor one waiter we had. I just.... Anyway.

There were people from my studio (nineteen people including four parents I think) people that we normally eat out with. And some others that decided to come. (Other studio friends)

So we had one waiter and we took to an entire room. I felt bad. But the food was good! It just took longer to get my food than others.

So then when we get back, my friend decided to crash and not take a shower like she had intended to. And when we tried to wake her up so she could take one.... We shook her hard and gently slapped her on the face. She didn't now an inch. She slept in a cot while me and my other friend slept on the bed while the two black belt chaperones slept on the other bed. (They are twins as I was the only colored belt but was the oldest of m two friends)

So then me and my other friend passed out at 11:30 after me reading some manga and he showed me a few vids of DanIsOnFire.

So the next day we went to the seminar and the two instructors kept saying 'We aren't here to make you better, we can't make you better in three hours. We are showing you these drills to do at home'.

And here I thigh we were gonna do forms. Uh....

So after that, the colored belts from our studio got changed. (me, white stripe, yellow belt, fellow green belt, blue belt, and other blue belt)

So went we went to Wendy's while the black belts where in half of their uniforms. (Since the second session was only for black belts)

Now, before we had started the seminar, two of my friends (people in their twenties) had drove up there from one of their parents' house. So they had asked me if I wanted to leave with them after we got lunch so I wouldn't be bored at the second seminar. So I asked my mom and our Master if that was okay. They said it was fine.

So after lunch we left and drove an hour to my friend's (let's call her Cat and the other one is Kitty) house thy she few up in. So we got there and they let me unpack and stuff before we went out somewhere to waste some time.

We were supposed to meet our studio people at around 7:00 to eat dinner after they came from the second seminar.

So we drove to a waterfall and took some best pictures as we sat on the ledge.

We hiked around a half mile in the lap we took around the canal that was on the other side.

Canal photo.

After we got back we went to a frozen yogurt place. My dad had given me back up money if I needed it, but I kept it in my bag that was at Cat's house. So cat went and bough me some for to since I didn't have enough money.

Cat is very nice. And I still feel guilty about it. But I guess that's just me and my thirteen year old brain....

So then we went back to the house and I grabbed my twenty dollars and we lounged around till it was around 6:15.

So then, we left.
