Mow.

1 day

to Novices.

That is, for the guys.
It's 2 more days for us girls, competition on Sunday!

Yesterday, after training with Gerard and free-fencing until 8pm in school, I went home suddenly feeling like, I'm ready for the competition.
My bouts weren't perfect, and I was dazed during the one on one session with Gerard, until he even asked me what happened to me, because I kept missing.
But I had that strong feeling that I've learnt everything there is to learn, all that I needed was more focus.

Gerard told me that day that you fence with your brain, not with your heart.
Although at the same time if you think about it, you need to keep your emotions in check in order to think properly, but that's not the point!
Sherry was right when she told us how lucky we were to have him as captain, he took so much responsibility upon himself, including training each one of us individually. Not to mention, a super (gay/sick) awesome friend.

Basically he, Coach, and Sherry (the most awesome senior ever) have given me all the advice they could.
It's my part now.
