Finally!!

My medical research paper is over!! I am so relieved! Now I can concentrate back on BJJ, Operation: 6, and keeping on top of posting here. It's been a while! I have been going to BJJ, though I havn't been posting about it. It's been good. A lot of stand-up stuff, as well as the normal ground guard work. I'm kinda blah that I'll be away from training at Prana for 6+ weeks (depending on if Kim goes to Germany for class), but I'm gonna make it work for the best. It will be GREAT to be home though! I really can't wait. So, starting tomorrow, I'll post more about my training.

Later!

The gauntlet

Monday was a good time at BJJ. It was all sparring and passing guard drills. It was pretty easy because we had a blue belt get promoted to purple. At the end of training, he had to go through and spar everyone, with 3 white belts, 3 blue belts, 2 purple belts, 1 brown belt, and then with our instructor, the black belt. I can't wait till I get blue, though that is a long time away, probably another year.

Well, Operation: 6 is off for now. I'm too busy with my 15 page medical research paper. It's coming along, but right now I don't have much time. Basically during the day, I have time when Ollie naps in the morning and some in the evening when she goes to bed. It's due on Dec 1st, but I'm hoping to finish it within the week...

I feel like there was something else I was going to write about but I can not remember... If I do, I'll post tomorrow..

Competition and College

It's been a while without posting. I've been very busy but have been training. I went to BJJ 3x last week and lifted 2x. I'm going to BJJ today as well. I'm definitely going to take part in the Stockholm BJJ Open in March. There's no reason not to. I'll have a good amount of time under my belt.

I'm currently a senior in the degree program: BS in Sport Management specializing in Fitness and Wellness. I'm enrolled in a class on Sport Medical Research and have a 15+ page medical review paper due December 1st. It has been taking much of my time. I'll post the final draft once it's finished. I'm pretty excited that come March, I'll have my degree.. But then, it's hard to say what will take up my time. There's a few more things I have on my mind I'd like to learn, but I'll prob take a small break before I jump in.

This is a little boring of an update. Hopefully I'll have more to say tomorrow about this evening's training!
