Well Hello this is day for in my
personal hell :P It´s Thursday and I literally was to busy to write.
On Tuesday another new guy came from Italy, he was supposed to stay
for a year but already thinks about going to Shanghai, too much
countryside here :/ Ohh well and besides that a short notice on what
I did. Tuesday we had Wing Chun, which I really enjoyed, got my legs
a bit relaxed and is actually fun. Afterwards jumps and rolls, I
figured I may should try to learn at least a handstand and a
cartwheel but ohh my got a long way to go there-.- You all know me,
like hey I know why I skipped Gymnastic class for most of my life.
After lunch, which I still consider quite tasty, could be a bit more
meat, but oh well. We had Shaolin Take downs and because there are
not that many girls, I practised with a guy, which is on one hand a
good thing, don´t have to be considerate, on the other a bad thing,
they won´t be considerate either. After that we had to do Sit-Ups,
which basically killed me-.- Well in the evening I just learned a bit
more Chinese and we, Yasmine and Joe watched a movie. Kung Fu Hustle,
I am loving it, so funny =)
Next morning I went the first time to
Tai Chi and knocked myself out, loving my knee cap, but no need to
worry nothing bad, still kept on training. Than it was basically the
same than on Monday, lots of kicks and the basics of some forms.
Can´t wait to actually learn a form. So far it´s fun, I kinda have
the feeling the Shifu maybe won´t go as easy on me as he usually is
with girls. Still not as hard as with the boys, but I hope he will
just really treat me the same way, otherwise I won´t learn anything.
When we had Sanda I even was allowed to hold the what ever you call
the things you hit on in English, and I swear I had the feelings my
arms would fall of, but I didn´t knock myself out while holding
them, so I am quite proud of myself.
During lunch break we went to the
10-minute shop (it takes you 10 minutes to get there) and I got
myself again a coke and a sprite, need my sugar, otherwise I´ll
maybe get problems. Other than that I went to the Bank in the evening
to get some more money out. Wahh it´s so hard to spent this money, I
mean well no matter what I got eight month so a cheaper place I
wouldn´t find, maybe if I´d went to University, probably would be
better for my Chinese, but I want to learn Kung Fu in the first place
and it´s nice and cheap here, but it´s still a lot of money and I
guess my parents brought me up well, it´s so hard to give it away xD
But my flight goes back in June, so
long I will be stuck here, which means don´t think I would get by
any cheaper with just 15 euro a day for eating, sleeping and
lessons...but who knows, sure would at a Chinese School, but I quite
like that bit of luxury we have, even if it´s not a lot, like warm
showers, two bed rooms, normal toilets....
But during the winter time I don´t
even want to imagine, this is going to be freezing, like really,
really cold.
Now to the people, I think it will be
ok here some are a bit special, but nobody I´d say I can´t stand
and I am here to learn either way.
My muscle ache also became a bit
better, yesterday my whole neck was stiff from the takedowns but
today it´s a bit better already just my legs feel awful from all the
kicking and so on yesterday,
but I put Tiger Balm on at it feels
great and I have the feeling, is working quite well.
Now we have room check, yeah we have
them checking if everything is nice and tidy, so twice a week I have
to clean, otherwise I have to clean the bathroom or do other
penalties like staying in push-up position for 5 minutes, but that
one is usually more for the people that were past the curfew.
Yeah we have a curfew, it´s 9.30, even
on the weekends-.- So no need to worry about me wandering about, I
really don´t want to do the penalty work out =)
Today I did Tai Chi again, but I don´t
think I will be very good at it. Maybe I just should sleep in instead
or do some Yoga.
Don´t know yet, I just know I am
scared of today, endurance practise, qi Gong and later Shaolin work
out, you know stuff like holding bricks in horse stance....I am going
to die xD
Well maybe I tell you how it was in the
evening, if I am still able to write anything at all...
