So, assuming I get all the paperwork filled out, I'll be testing for my Nidan (2nd degree black belt) in late March. I'm very much excited about this prospect as well as nervous as hell. I've only been back on the math for about 6 months... so being asked to test is quite the honor. But I'm also slightly apprehensive about it due to the same fact. I can't really say "no" to my Sensei, since she is sort of bending the rules to allow me to test.. and I don't think I would say no even if I wouldn't get my ass beat for disrespecting the offer.
With the plans to move coming up, this is a great chance for me to get my next rank without having to "start over" at a new school. True, another school could merely assume that I have the necessary skill-set to test... but it takes time to assess that. So this will allow me to test, acquire the rank (assuming I pass of course!) and move to a new dojo and begin training anew for sandan... which is many years in my future.
Ok, just wanted to let all of you peoples know that if I'm bitching and moaning about getting my ass-kicked in Aikido.. this is why.

Congrats, dogg. You'll do fine. You are the Badass Most Supreme already. Soon you will be Badass Most Supreme Part 2: Return of Badass (Most Supreme).
The sequel is set in Africa though.
(This is a joke about the movie "Shaft in Africa")
