Ow, ow, OOOOOOOW.

That is the last time I agree to help out a new student at the dojo. Kid didn't know what he was doing and just started flailing around. Wouldn't even listen when I tried explaining techniques to him either. It's a good thing I had enough sense to at least give him a wooden sword instead of a real one. Ugh, next time sensei asks me to help out, I'm demanding he give me at least an intermediate student.

Meh, well... I guess I'm no worse for the wear. A little bloodied, but nothing that hasn't happened before.

...No wonder Shikamaru thinks I'm crazy. I'm not crazy. 8|

( Also, baby update for Papa Naruto... )

Nothing new with volleyball boot camp practice. Or with the cafe. Although, Tochiro did give me a few extra shifts to make up for the time I'll lose when I start school again. Such a considerate guy, really. But I guess I owe him one. And more work means more money. So, at least I know I'll be able to make rent this month. Speaking of which, my next shift starts in half an hour...

PS. I'll stop by soon, Keebs. Help is on the way!

It's that time again. Or at least it will be pretty soon.

I always know when the new school year is about to start whether I want to or not. Because coach always thinks it productive and useful to hold a boot camp for her players a month or so in advance. 'To get a jump on the competition,' she says. Not that there aren't benefits to extra Volleyball training and practice before tryouts are held, but couldn't she have at least waited another week before ruining summer for us? Guess not.

Oh well, guess I'll just have to figure out ways to enjoy what's left of the break.

Speaking of which... I think it's time to put Operation Save the Pup into play...
