Why are things that are good for you so painful?

So the holidays are over and karate classes are back in session. On the one hand, I really missed practising with everyone. One the other hand, I really really wish I practiced more on my own over the two week break we took. ;_; Ouchies. My body is sending me death threats as we speak. Tomorrow it'll be outright killing me.

Belt testing is coming up soon. I don't think I'll be ready to test for my yellow belt just yet though. Mainly because of the fact that I don't feel ready for it. I'm debating though. There is going to be another session of testing in the spring too, so it's not like I'd have to wait too long if I decide that I want to wait.

So yeah, being my usual wishy-washy self about it. Money's also a factor this time though, especially so soon after Christmas. The fee for participating in the testing (to help offset the travel expenses of the official who comes to do the grading) isn't astronomical, but if I take the test in the spring instead then I'll most likely have a job by then (I hope) and be better able to afford it.

On a lighter note, tonight will be the best night's sleep I'll have had all week. Definitely an upside to all that exercise. :D

Well, that and being able to not feel TOO guilty about those cookies grandma sent my way last week (SO GOOD).
