Um... yeah.

I haven't written on here for a while. It's not that I have nothing to say (well, nothing less than the usual triflings I put out anyway). I think maybe I've become bored with it. I dunno.

I will say I've been thinking more and more about trying to make a career out of teaching martial arts. Yes, I know that I tend to get carried away with things, and that I'm very impressionable, but on the flip side it makes a lot of sense to me. Here are the following positives that I see:

1) I love studying martial arts. I've never once left class in a bad mood, regardless of my mood going in.

2) I've always felt like I was meant to be a teacher. In this case, I can teach something useful, but I can also impart my own life thinkings and philosophies upon my students, rather than be told to dictate someone elses.

3) It's a healthy profession.

4) I'd be my own boss.

5) I could be a role-model and inspiration to kids; someone responsible that they can learn from and turn to with their problems. (This might even rid me of the socially-imposed and genetically-implied desire to have kids. I don't think I really want them, but I would like to be able to influence a child as they grew and help them to be the best they could be.)

Anyway, I talked to my teacher about this, not 'cause I think I'm ready to open a school today or anything, but because I wanted to get his advice on what I could do now to help achieve that goal. He told me that he was actually getting ready to send out letters to a few students (including me) telling them about a new "student assistant" program where some of the more advanced and responsible students would help to lead the classes in exchange for almost neglible discounts and a special weekly class on how to be an instructor and the history of the school and whatnot. So I'm going to do that, and I'm fairly excited.

Yeah, but other than that? I got nuthin, so I'm gonna go now...
