Oh and by the way..

Sitting in seiza throughout the entire ceremony was possibly the most painful thing I've done to date. I must keep practicing.

Also I learned a couple nice phrases which I will correct after asking someone what they actually were... but from what I remember:
ichigoichie means- treating someone with kindness and respect (and putting your heart into making the tea), despite having never met them before.
and i can't remember what the second thing was at all. i will ask people tomorrow.
