Sunday morning, I woke up super early to get to the gym on time. Last semester I accidently forgot about my Yongmudo belt test until around 1pm, but this semester, I wasn't going to let that happen again. I am _done_ with yellow belt. They told us to get there between 8 and 8:30, and I thought I was late when I got there at 8:30. Boy was I wrong. I should've slept in for another hour. I had plenty of time to warm up and practice beforehand, which was good because it gave me time to learn how to do a knee underfall and perfect my 16-step techniques. There was one really good black belt testing for 2nd don, and two not-so-hot red belts testing for first don. The red belts just didn't have any energy. Their keyups were really weak and their performance was not too impressive. The black belt did belt for her weapon, and it was fantastic. I've always wanted to learn how to use a belt/rope/sheet to manipulate someone, and I certainly enjoyed watching. After those two upper rank tests, there was a round of white belt tests (boring) followed by a break and another white belt test (boring) and the kids test (so cute). After that, we finally got to test. I think I did really well, but I was a bit too nervous when I was performing. I almost messed up my tiger throw because Melanie's hair was in the way, and my airfall wasn't too great. Other than that, I feel like I was really solid. I remember doing falls across the mat, and at the very end, I saw one of the judges looking at me, and I did a perfect sidefall with height, and I felt so happy. I think my blocks need some work but were about on par with everyone else. I had a great time, and I am proud of myself because I gave it my all. I am so proud of the bruises I got during the test =). I'm hoping I got upper green or lower blue, and I'll find out on May 23rd. There's another test at the end of summer, so hopefully I'll be able to get upper blue (or even lower brown... but I doubt that) in a few months.
