Entry 2, Saturday

I'm so happy. Today, while sparring with my father, I managed to strike him. He praised me. The training got more intense after that and I am thoroughly sore now, but I am very happy. This just means that I need to train harder and get stronger.

I was suppose to record my training in order but I was just too excited about that. I've never managed to do that before and I couldn't wait to record it.

Big sister Hinata has been sneaking out to do something lately. I am really curious to see what she is doing. Maybe she is doing some secret training, so secret that no one else can find out. I really want to see. Next time she is sneaking out, I'm going to follow her.

Well, I have to record my training.

I began by stretching before breakfast. Then, father took me through some basic exercises before we started sparring. Father knocked me down over and over again but I knew that I could get up after each time. I think that it's becoming a little less painful now, or perhaps I am becoming stronger. Father said if I continue on this path he will teach me a new technique. I just need to become physically stronger.

Because of the type of training, father allowed me to take the rest of the day off. I didn't really know what to do with the rest of the day. I tried to meditate but I was never very good at that. I try, I really do, but I get bored. I'm suppose to reflect on myself but my mind always wants to wander. Perhaps I just don't have the discipline.

When I join a team after graduating from the academy, I will do my best to lead my team. I've never really worked on a team before, and I'll admit I'm a little worried but father says that it's nothing to be concerned about. Neji and Big Sister Hinata don't really seem to have any problems working with others so perhaps I won't either. Working with others isn't my strong suit but if other Hyuga's can, so can I!
