So much for the energy of Tuesday. I forced myself to go to beatings and was surprised when we only had four people. This is usually a great class because it's almost like private lessons. Teacher had us pair up and start randori. I got paired with Check. She's probably a foot shorter than me so it means that she has to get inside to be effective. And effective she is. She can tangle my arms and set me up for a kick regularly. I can only be effective at the end of my reach. So I attack and try to stay away. I didn't feel like a superstar.
At the end of class Teacher pulled me aside and he said that I'll be testing for my next rank in the next two weeks or so. I told me that I wished he wouldn't let me know ahead of time and he replied, "well, you don't actually know what day it is." Touche.
Anxiety is now my close friend even though I think I'll be fine.

Good anxiety though!
Look at it this way :
What happens if you fail the test?
Not much after all. You still have learned a lot and will learn more again.
A test is just a test. It becomes something else if you have expectations. :) But who doesn't have expectations!
I know I get stressed as can be for these tests!
be well and best of luck.
oooh good luck on your test! i would be anxious too. just take it slow, don't try to rush thru anything. I'm sure you'll do great.
Thanks for your support!
