- Grading
- It's like growing up; you have to do it anyway. It means more challenges and responsibilities, as well (I assume it also means we'll be more experienced...).
- Jigeiko
- Always try to reserve some energy for sensei or senpai - don't make them wait (or give them a chance to rest :D)
- Homework

Ah, and before I forget:

On a personal note,
- My wrist is strong enough to do suburi, so hurrah for that.
- Do cuts still a complete mess! Argh. Might also be because I was pretty nervous.
- Note to self: try not to get over-anxious during grading. Forgot to drink before and that kind of messed me up. So don't do it. Mm'kay?
- Train some more on kote cuts. Kept missing distance (and hit my partner on the arm several times - gomen)
