Random weekend

Didn't do too many crazy things this weekend - just sorta relaxed, got lots of sleep, and exercise! 

I had my first fencing class today - taught by a former Belarusian Olympic coach - and boy, was it intense!  I found out that we are doing sabre instead of foil (so more chances of getting whacked in the head ) and we also had to show our form in front of everyone.  We also learned 3 different blocks (left, right, over) and in order to teach us the correct form, we were to hold the sabre while the coach came up and struck us!  If we did not hold it correctly, he would've whacked us!  I was so nervous since I was the first in line but the reassuring clang told me that I was all good... for now

Next week, we move on to "whacking each other"... the funny thing is, I think the coach is in his 50's but he's super fit and has a very strong accent so although he is nice, he comes off as very strict!

anyway, we'll see if I survive this sport!

how was everyone's weekend??
