No Tournament For Me

I've decided not to go to the Hwa Rang Do tournament in Wisconsin, despite chesh's very generous offer to cover my transportation costs. The reasons are financial. I hope. I think I'm being responsible and making the right choice. I'm posting this to help clarify my own thoughts.

( Reasons/Rationale/Rationalizations/Excuses/Whining...take your pick. )

After making the decision, I felt a little bit of regret and wistfulness, but no "wrong-decision, must-try-not-to-think-about-results/alternatives," so I'm pretty sure that I made the right choice for the right reasons. I had trouble sleeping last night because I was fretting over this; I'll sleep well tonight, I hope.

I might have to tolerate some instructorly disapproval, though....
