I felt bad yesterday. There are two practice rooms for our Taiji class. Yesterday in the room I practice in, some of the women (this is where most of the women in the class have drifted to) started saying that we were the "remedial room". I had the feeling like I did in grade school of being picked last for the team in gym class. I felt awkward and a little upset.
I talked to the T.A. later on about it and he said there was no problem with learning things more slowly. But I feel like I've been practicing so much. When I was telling my husband about it, he asked me, "Have you ever picked up a sword before?" I said I hadn't. He told me not to worry about it.
Now I wonder how bad it looked when I did the form in front of the class two weeks ago. I really only got criticisms and not many compliments. I didn't know I was one of the slowpokes. Feh. There are more important things to worry about in life, really. It just hit the little girl inside me - the one who used to trip up stairs when she didn't know where her limbs were.
