Regression

The meaning of regression is: the act of going back to a previous place or state; return or reversion. That kind of describes my pervious weekend. On Saturday I went to a Tae Kwon Do Tournament where I did horribly. I was a bit demoralized by not even getting third place from sparring or forms. That stunk along with the fact that my classmates, if you will, were doing very successfully. I know I could have far better than I did but Dad and Mom say that I need to learn how to perform under pressure. This is a regression because this is not my first Tae Kwon Do tournament. I went to a previous tournament as a Green Belt and the results were the same as this one. Ever since then I stopped going to tournaments until Saturday.
After that Dad took me to Sonic Burger where I met Ashley, this one chick I had met at an SNA a long time ago. It was nice seeing her and her mom but at that time I still felt pretty crummy for doing so poorly on the tournament. Whoever said that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach is actually pretty darn accurate because I felt better after eating a Chili Cheese dog, french fries, a limeade, a Sprite, and a banana split sundae.
The next big event was the SNA. It was very fun, and I got very sweaty. I also learned that it's okay for guys to ask for girl's phone numbers. A funny thing about this dance was that a very long fireside preceded it. EFY speaker Sister Jones was talking, but I had forgotten about the fireside so I had to wait a while before the dance was on. Well, that's the highlights of my life for this week, I hope you won't get too depressed by my loss at the Tournament.
