I tested and passed.
I know i am older than most students, or at least starting later. I knew i had to tweak my kata. So.... I showed up at the dojo 3 hours early and i had the floor to myself. It felt weird. But i got in a good 3 hours of kata, bag work, and stretching. I felt so loose by the time testing started. It was great. I was not sure what to expect, because my sensei is also on of my work supervisors. But it was fun. I was a sweaty mess from the drills, kata, sparring, grappeling, and pre-class workout.

Woohoo! Well done! You only buy one belt, your white. The rest are earned. You're on your way now, and soon enough there will be white belts stood to your left and they'll be looking at you for stances, hand positions and so on.
