I can do the techniques, and my ukemi is improving session by session..

A friend of mine who started a month before me is also taking 7th kyu, so her and I can work together on this, It's nice not to feel alone.

Also, one of my best friends is taking her 3rd kyu at the same time, so it should be a fun day if all goes well.

It just seems... absolutely crazy that less than a month ago, I was just giving lifts to and from the dojo for a few friends, and sitting at the side watching .. and now..

I hadn't thought about testing, as in our little membership handbook it states a minimum four months and a set amount of sessions before grading would be considered, so I'd been under the impression that if I were to test, I'd be testing the next time around, so to be told I was going to test this time, after a litle less than three months, was something of a surprise.

Many thanks for the encouragement, It's appreciated far more than you'd think.

Best,

-D.
