I've been "tentatively" accepted to become an "uchideshi" (live-in-student) at Nippon-Kan  from May 1st to mid July.  (And then i'll Pioneer to China in mid August). So the chances that i'll be moving out of where i'm living now on April 30th are now 89%.  (I'm still considering backing out because joining Aikido Bootcamp would NOT leave any time for ANYTHING else, like tutoring Baha'i study circles, etc.).  On the other hand it would be a rare and great opportunity to be enganged in PURE service-- at the Dojo as well as helping with A.H.A.N. (Aikido Humanitarian Aktive Network)'s activities (and Aikido study) for 3 months.  Not to forget the unique feeling of having been run-over at the end of each day!    And my appologies ahead of time if i disappear off the face of the Earth (except for the little patch called Nippon-Kan/Domo) between May through July, as i might not get the chance to go online or go out hardly ever while i'm there.  If i go there...  if i could find someone/people to host me for the same time frame (rent free but util ok) then i'll decline the Uchideshi offer and just take every Aikido class i can, thereby still giving me time to do Baha'i stuff (tutoring study circles, go to the Four Corners Summer school, etc.) too.
