Another step up
Posted On 10/15/2008 17:13:56 by Jinxi

And the verdict is... I passed the grading and am now a fully fledged member of the 7th kup club.

Okay not a big deal to some but it felt pretty big in the 24 hours before I graded when I was racked with nerves, the 20 minutes of the actual grading and the four days of having to wait to see how I did!

All three of the 'adult' yellow belts (aged 15ish to me with an 18 year-old in the middle) passed with high marks - and I got an A pass, which made me smile.

As I said before, grading isn't everything but it's a step along the way and another door opened to increased improvement and further knowledge.

Only thing is... the new belts haven't arrived yet so I'm currently beltless - training sans belt is such an alien feeling when you're used to wearing one! I know I'm a green stripe anyway

Don't get me wrong I enjoy writing, interviewing, taking photos and laying out pages I just dislike the atmosphere in my current office and some of the responsisblity.  If I stay in jounralims I'm going to bump myself back down to reporter, handle my assignments and don't worry about running the newspaper.

Every test is a big deal, because honestly the more you test the smaller your testing groups get. 


Remember each rank brings more responcibility, new forms and motivation for your art.


 


 


Thanx Hannigan! Jx

contrats on passing my friend, I knew you would do well. thanks for the words of encouragement. I've been thinking about it for a while but i might be going back to school for a culinary arts degree, I know resturants aren't any less stressful but my favorite job was a cook during my college years.


Thanx for the congrats - and good luck if you choose to take the other path. A kitchen may be stressful but in truth stress is in inverse proportion to how much you enjoy something. There are some that would have anervous breakdown doing what I do - whereas I get a buzz (and sometimes a lil stressed too mind). If I tried to I dunno change a fuse connected to a bomb, I'd go nuts. Others thrive on it. It's horses for courses - but if you enjoy it you're getting somewhere :) Jx
