Went to wushu club today... same ol' same ol'. I don't take it particularly seriously. So after the class, they called a mini-meeting, and asked me and Mike to stay for it. So the deal is, they want us to join their "demo team." They've "voided the trial period" and just admitted us in. (Seems like they're getting kinda desperate for members, if you ask me.) In addition to more practices, they said they're gonna re-tool the entire format of the regular classes to suit the experienced people instead of the beginners. I mean, sure, I'd like to actually learn something, but I don't think they should necessarily sacrifice one for the other. "Equal opportunity for all!" "No child left behind!" You know, all that jive, heh. I dunno, man, maybe it's a curse... I'm never satisfied with the way things are run... maybe I'm just a whiny jerk, hahaha.
So yea, anyways, the whole thing with being on a demo team again- it just doesn't sit particularly well with me I guess. Bad memories, bad blood. And also, I think it's generally understood (even among the UT crew): nobody wants to perform with a crew that's regarded as bad. During the meeting, everyone decided that we had a long way to go before UT Wushu could really become reputable. I mean, I'll admit that I'm no scoobydoo when it comes to contemporary wushu, but I think some have more to go than others, if you know what I mean. And now there's talk about them wanting to do shows for Chinese New Year... =/ Bluggghhhh, I don't really know what I think, what to think... it's complicated.
