On the Mat

I went to Aikido class tonight and did not enjoy it as much as usual. We worked on test requirements in self-directed groups, which is not the normal format. I am not preparing for a test just now, so I wasn't too focused on what I wanted to work on. One of my partners didn't like the way I was attacking her, and I couldn't figure out what she wanted me to do instead. She was pissed at me, and she wouldn't let me off the hook after I sincerely apologized for making things difficult for her.
