Hah! Despite the long battle with the dojo's internet, I have emerged triumphant!
It's quite Unyouthful that I haven't been able to update my journal. But I must bear the consequences of my absence- my Eternal Rival Kakashi is leading in his entry count!
There is another reason for my absence. I have recently been asked for one-on-one training sessions with three students. They aren't in any of my classes and they refuse to join, despite my warm encouragement. They shouldn't be so insecure about their looks! Fitness is not about how thin you are, but about one's balance, posture, and strength in the powerhouse. A thin woman isn't fit if she can't stand without shifting her weight from one foot to another constantly.
But I'm proud of them for taking the first step to fitness- having the desire to be fit. Their training isn't as hard as my Youthful students' but I still push them to feel the good pain! We will run 20 laps around the training field tomorrow and move to the gym for some Youthful aerobics.
[Note: Kakashi, but viewable by everyone]Kakashi, I'm sorry I haven't dropped by to see your cute puppy. May I stop by tomorrow night?
