So I finally got what felt like a clean kote-men off of Sensei today, who was in fine form today in the inimitable Margaret Cho's mother way, "Do you hold a babee this way??? Nooo..... You don't look like this..." but this is hard to describe--but of course when I lined up to speak to him and get pointers, he was all, "did we practice today, oh, yes...." I guess this is what you get for not having a zekken.

Still, it's some progress, even if the kids in my last period keep on switching the clock on me. Little punks.
