It’s been a bad month, out of laziness and devotion to my new identity as a researcher, but this has meant that I have been averaging 50% so far, and it doesn’t look much better down the road. Today I dealt with a deathly hangover that I managed to power through, although many of the same issues and problems persist. I need to relax and smooth out whatever it is that I do. Still, I feel better with my hips and attacking with the tip of my shinai. It’s getting there, however slowly.
