I get up, grab my shower stuff and head to the bathroom before undressing and heading into the stall, the hot water is glorious and is the only reason I get up at ass o’clock. Sometimes the hot water runs out, and I do not do cold showers. I wash my long dark hair, and then condition it. Thank god some things are still available from the old world! Once I’m done, I just stand under the hot water letting my muscles relax for a while. I took a beating in Defence yesterday, Noah finally got the upper hand he’s been dying to get for the last five years, and pinned me. It’ll never happen again. I let him do it, so I could see his technique. He’s narrow-minded, he does everything the same way every time, he doesn’t alter his technique depending on his opponent. That’s why he’ll never be in the Red Guard. He’s too predictable, too arrogant, and that’s why I’m going to kick his tall ass today.
