And it's all well and truly over... Part one
Two things happened this weekend, and I want to talk about both of them in detail... But I haven't the time this morning, so I'll talk about the part that is easiest.
On Monday (Which was a national holiday here), I tested for NiiDan (Second Degree Black Belt) in Kyudo in the Capital. I passed (There were three from my dojo there, and I was the only one that passed). I am now, officially a NiiDan in Kyudo.
The important thing is; all of this struggling to get to the next test is over. The next test is in late May, after we return from Japan. Thus I can't test for SanDan (Third Degree Black Belt) From this point forward I can just maintain my skill. But it means no more struggling.

Ahh, but what is life without struggle? ;) Congratulations on making NiiDan, I am truly surprised that you have made it that far in the short time you've been there. It says a lot when you are the only student from the group from your dojo to pass, and probably the only non-Japanese. Now you will just have to figure out where you will be able to practice when you return to the States.
