Yeah, it was really weird. I missed class for the last three weeks due to a sinus infection. At the end of live training my instructor circled us up and he was like "Let me see you, you and you." I was like "Fuck, I know this about how I just got arm barred." and he handed out first stripes to me and two other guys and a third stripe to another teammate's purple belt. Was really really satisfying.
that's kinda how it happened for my second stripe.
I was sick and injured for almost two weeks, came back and felt rusty during class. At the end of class, our instructor came up to me and the guy I started training with and gave us our second stripes.
I think that the guys running gyms like to group guys up as they progress. I'd be willing to bet you earned your stripe before you got sick but your instructor probably wanted to wait until the three of you were all there.
JUST A HUNCH!

Congrats again!
