It's been a while since I've touched this thing, and now's as good a time as any, so I might as well update.  It was my birthday yesterday, and I just turned 18!  I am legal now (jk)!  It's the summer now, and I'm just chilling.

First thing's first; I have finally graduated from high school as a senior of Quince Orchard High School.  No love lost there.  Right now, I'm anxiously awaiting college life at University of Maryland Baltimore County, and I have to be honest, I'm a bit excited.  I recently attended an Orientation Day, and it seems like a really comfortable place.

Wushu's on hold for now (although it won't be for very long ).  I've returned from US Wushu Team Trials, alive and well.  Training was brutal, but I guess it finally paid off, because I had a very clean performance out there.  I even managed to get 1st place in Broadsword.  Although some people might not agree with it, I do feel quite satisfied from how much hard work I've put into this.  Now that taolu's out of the way, I think I'll focus a bit more on training Sanshou; try to get more well rounded as a martial artist.

NOTE: About a month ago, I went on a trip to Korea for family reasons; I was attending a cousin's wedding, and since I hadn't seen her for four years, I thought it would be a great opportunity to see her again, and at the same time be able to see the other side of my heritage, as I've already been to China.  It was a cycle of shopping and eating.  They even had Wushu there!  (For highlights of my training in Korea and other Wushu related updates, check out my recent videos on YouTube: [link])

As for writing, I'm not doing anything special, but at the moment, I AM reediting my old books, namely the Dragon Equester Chronicles.  So if any of you are paying attention and are at all interested in my old fantasy stuff, go check that out and leave comments.
