So somehow I managed to flunk my ikkyu exam, which I guess I should have known in the first place, because at the end of 240 seconds of keiko I still could breathe and keep going--I should have been completely exhausted if I were doing the wright thing--but there's always the next test in December. It's discouraging enough, but I guess I just need to work harder and not feel quite so complacent. Kiai won't get me all that far.
