Då var man hemma igen... I helgen har vi haft en barnkurs här i Umeå som har varit fantastiskt roligt. Man lärde sig mycket och fick många fina idéer både av kursansvarig och de andra i gruppen när det gäller att instruera.

Synd bara att det är en vecka till nästa barnträning så jag måste vänta med att testa mina nya kunskaper och idéer :)

20 budord att följa innan du får ett svart bälte

En fin liten sång som Johan Halvardsson sjöng under Barninstruktörspasset på påsklägret...

Då var man hemma igen, det känns skönt att äntligen få sova i sin egna säng har längtat efter det! Lägret var väldigt roligt och lärorikt och man fick möta massa trevliga människor och instruktörer. Det har skrivits ner många intressanta övningar och idéer för att göra tekniker bättre.

Nackdelen med läger är att man upptäcker hur lite man egentligen kan... har nu kommit underfund med att det bälte jag egentligen skulle behöva satsa på att ta är inte svart utan grönt då ingen av dessa tekniker gick särkillt bra...

vi måste helt enkelt bli bättre, vi ska inte träna tekniker utan vi ska helt enkelt ta ett pass då vi ENBART slår varandra då det är våra attacker som verkar vara säääämst...

Förhoppninsvis kommer mer intressant om lägret och kanske lite bilder inom kort!

Igår efter mini-mon lägret och mötet gick jag och Sanna och såg Hungerspelen på bio. Det var en jätte bra film!Han brevid oss önskade nog han valt andra platser då vi viskade och som vanligt fnissade där det inte skulle fnissas. Men filmen var som sagt jätte bra, störde mig lite att de hade blandat in saker från de andra två böckerna i serien men sånt är livet...



Filmen var väldigt häftig och de hade fått karaktärerna nästan helt som jag tänke mig dem. Har ni chansen att se filmen så se den! den är galet spännande!(men läs hellre boken för den är enligt mig bättre) Det skrämde mig lite att när personalen från bion skulle be oss stänga av mobiltelefonerna så frågade hon om vi hade läst boken... vi var typ ensamma i salongen som hade det... hade förväntat mig fler men filmen har ju gått i en vecka så de andra kanske redan har sett den :P

bye and may the odds be ever in your favor!
