Tomorrow two of my suitemates are testing for their black belt and 2nd dan black belt. I was given the opportunity to test for 3rd, but all my life I've been testing at the dojang back in my hometown, and I feel most comfortable testing there. Sure, I do belong here for now, but in the end I'm only going to be studying here for one more year. Then I'd graduate. And sure, it does have lasting memories, but I wouldn't feel completely accomplished. The testing curriculum is different. It just doesn't seem right.

I got called however to help out with sparring. I plan to show them what I got. I will not lose. I have my pride.
