Testing

[risingfire]

Well folks it’s that time of year again, I'M TESTING TOMMORROW! I'm not quite as nervous as last time but MUCH more will be expected of me this time around. I am up on my terminology and such...but my ground game is not as tight as I want it to be - I don't do enough outside of class and not much in class at all. I will do my best though. Wish me luck please! I hope that I don't end with a broken foot again...:-( My breaks will be intense. I will be testing for red. In our club the next is brown, then - black - where the real hard work begins! At our school a BB is just a serious student, no more, no less. You have shown you can stick with the program and learn the many basics, but when you achieve black, it just the beginning.

The three best solutions for nerves: practice, practice and practice.

[risingfire]

If practice is a relief for nerves then I should be almost asleep with peace;) I have practiced a ton, then when I thought that was enough, I practiced more. I feel like I am as prepared as possible but some how I feel like I am forgetting something.
