Oh Everest, My Everest

At the end of today's karate class, the instructor informed everyone to congratulate me because I just finished testing and didn't even know it. I wasn't expecting to test until the week after our workout/barbecue on the 21st. Now I get to put a little black stripe on both ends of my belt when I come to class on Tuesday. Hot stuff. Practicing in the living room when my roommates aren't looking and then getting laughed at when they catch me is totally worth it.
