April 13th

Well not much really to say here. This last week wasn't terribly interesting other than I had Wednesday off, started Kumdo and got my new roommate. Kumdo is going ok, but it's hard to get used to the way you need to stand and move. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually, but it's hard. You need to keep your feet pretty close together (I'm looking at it from the P.O.V. of a former Tae Kwon Do student) and you move with a sort of sliding step. At any rate, I've learned two of the basic attacks and basic movement so I'm making progress, but compared to the other students in the class (there are two others who attend the 7 A.M. class), I have a loooong way to go.


By new roommate is named Paul, and he's from Scotland, and seems pretty nice. At least he hasn't blew everybody off like the other new teacher......

It's really a shame the weather wasn't good this weekend as I had been planning on going and partaking in some cherry blossom festivals, but it didn't go down so that went down the tube.

At any rate, before I go, I really would appreciate if people left more comments on my blog. Without a counter on it, I really have no idea of how many people come and visit, plus it's a nice way to keep in contact. Don't worry if you try to leave a comment and it doesn't show up right away wither, I have to ok any comments before they go up. Anyhow, I should hit the sack. Later.

Hi Shad!
I am greatly enjoying the blog of your new adventure. I have your site bookmarked and can't wait to read the latest entry each week.
How exciting life must be for you...kind of like seeing everything for the first time. I haven't had the opportunity to experience a different culture, except for my travels to the eastern U.S.. The folks out east are very different from us Minnesotans, but I also found that people in Montana are different, too. :) Isn't it wonderful the way God created such diversity? Have a good week! I will look forward to reading your next entry.

Hi Shad,
Your blog is wonderful and we enjoy reading it very much. The pictures are good, and they help us feel closer to your experience. It seems as though you are adjusting well. You must be feeling comfortable if you are learning beat the locals with bamboo swords. You are making your Aunt Joy jealous.
