So today was exploreUT, the university's approximate equivalent of open house. The wushu club held a demo for it, and since I really didn't have a good excuse not to go this time other than the fact that I just didn't want to, I agreed to be in the demo. We were scheduled to peform twice. The first time, literally nobody watched; when we were done, a grand total of 2 people had stopped and stayed. After the first performance, some kids walked by and asked if there was gonna be sword fighting. Not having much to lose, I told them we'd come up with something and for them to come back in an hour. (It's funny how you'll do these kinds of things when your instructors aren't around, and you're with an organization that you're not afraid of shaming.) So me & Michael choreographed our own broadsword vs. broadsword fighting set. I thought it was pretty good actually. It finished with me "impaling" Mike by sticking my sword between his body and arm; and then I turn around and he slashes at my neck, and I pull my shirt up over my head as if I've been decapitated. Hah, I thought it was hilarious, but Mike says it was gay... oh well, I think the crowd loved it, heheh. (We actually had a crowd the second time.) But yea, I got a huuuuuge blister on my hand since I hadn't done sword in so long, and my sword's blade got all banged up by the metal on metal action. =(
