  A pretty normal practice. I got some encouragement from the senior sensei, so I'm happier than last week, because last week was terrible. I only had time for one ji-geiko, with a sempai who I've not had keiko with for a long time. Normally, I would have been beaten to a pulp, but I was not totally overwhelmed like I usually am. I guess yesterday's practice set me up for today's.
