Today Deo and Dwight were fighting over me again in class. This time, however, it was the FULLY PACKED level two class. The two of them were into it this time too: Deo, after seeing me do one flawless execution (the firt and only i did that drill), called out "Yes Jenni!!! That's my student!" To which Dwight responded "I had her first!" Later in class, the burn on my hand had started to bleed (I had noticed earlier but it hadn't really been bleeding). Dwight noticed though, mid-drill, and pulled me out and helped me take care of it (by disinfecting and putting a bandaid on top). This is the second time he's done that, with the same complaints about the contents of the gym's first aid kit and promises to reapply bandages as needed. This was all after I had felt that Dwight was kind of mad at me, so that made me a lot better. If that wasn't nice enough (and flattering to my attention whore-ness), I went back onto the matt where Deo called me to help him demo (even tho it was I who asked for the skill), and afterwards HE pulled me aside to wrap my hand (to prevent the bandage from falling off due to sweat). Later in the night, right before the 8:00 level one, he noticed the wrap was still on and was pleased that it held and was still working (though he did accidentally press right on the burn, which hurt a little—tbh its almost kind of funny since that is such a Deo thing). As I was chillaxing in the lobby during the off hour (where I could have gone to level three but wasnt feelin it today), Deo came over and started eating as usual (I say usual but I still get excited every time). Anyways, he was asking me how I felt about the level test, to which he told me (not for the first time) that he knows I'm gonna rock it. Afterwards he was like "If anyone asks, just tell them that you're my student!" It feels nice that he feels so confident about me that he wants to be attached to my success (or failure, but he doesn't think so). Deo also asked if I was gonna get some extra help from Dwight after class, to which I said yes and that I had been doing it for a while, to which he said "smart lady." During the 8:00 level one krav, Dwight had me help him demo/teach. I think he, like Deo, has taken me under his wing when it comes to instructor training. He had me teach one elbow (mainly because he was in the middle of taking off his shin guard), he quizzed me by making me tell him what person X was doing wrong (he would immediately shout it out for them to fix what ever it had been, I got all his quizzing and questions right), giving me tips on the skill and also what peeps usually get wrong (and how much it annoys him), and he attributed one of my criticisms from the last instructor class to himself (he literally said "you probably got that from me"). After class he stayed and helped me learn stacking (I told him that I had never officially learned it and was only BSing til now, he responded that it's actually a level three skill and yet we need to know it for level two—cue his head shaking). Deo helped too since I had a question on footwork for afterwards (apparently my way and both Deo's and Dwight's way are the same, but you need athleticism which Deo said unlike others I wouldn't have a problem with). We then shit-talked about Andre and how he does shrimp escape (both as attacker and defender)—both Deo and Dwight had plenty to say (and Dwight blamed my problems with the shrimp escape, which I was doing with Andre, on Andre; so that was nice).
