6.6

I stopped in at the Tiger Challenge yesterday after work to say hi and see how it was going. I caught the last bit of the level two Young Dragons, and most of the level one adult Pool Noodle Sword Fighting. From the brief amount that I saw, it looked like most people were having lots of fun, which was good to see. It still sucks that I wasn't able to attend this year, but I'm glad that everyone seemed to be enjoying theirselves for the short amount of time that I was there.

 This year a few requirements have gotten technically “harder” for me. They are all requirements about mandatory attendance at events. They have gotten "harder" because I currently work every Saturday until 12 at the earliest, typically later. This directly conflicts with most of our events, such as the Tiger Challenge or the Farmers Day Parade, which both take place during Saturday mornings. This is the first year that this has become a conflict for me, as I only started my job in August of last year. I’m going to be in school until the end of August, so my work schedule will got back to normal after that for a bit, but of course that’s after most of our team events for the year.
