Jun. 10th, 2002 03:13 pmi spent most of my time at fencing being lazy. i fought a new girl and ended up slowing down and teaching her most of the time. she did pretty well, considering that the only attack she knew was "run towards your opponent with your sword pointed at them" and she'd never fought with her left hand before. she got the hang of holding the sword so that the bell hid her forearm, and i gave her examples of ways to move sideways and attack from other angles.
then i fought thomas, who spent most of his time perforating me. i got a little better, but not much. i did, however, still have fun.
andy picked me up and spent some time watching practice, where he realized that the heavy fighters were doing basic stick drills. if he ever gets interested in the sca, he will definitely end up fighting two sword, as he kept pointing out the various silly things people did when they had a shield.
i didn't sleep very well last night. probably because i haven't been trying to sleep until about 4 for the past several nights.
called cty this morning and got a secretary who was actually competent. she verified that my application was complete, told me that i might not hear until the end of the week (argh!), and left me with hope that i might yet get a job with cty. i should still pick up applications at other places before it's too (much) late(r than it is now).
mom decided that she doesn't want to take the time to go any farther than centerville for my birthday dinner. which means no sushi, since the nearest place is 10 miles away with a fairfax address. maybe i can get them to spring for crab.
i need to waterproof shoes and find something to eat.
