Tomorrow I hope to have my first mentee session. I really do look forward to it, kind of want to see how it goes. Any way I need to ask for help on Wong ho 1 and special 3 but that's for my mentor. Which I might have tomorrow but I'm not too sure, but if we don't then I know I do on Thursday :-)

Yesterday I had my first hyper pro class. :-) I then took a black belt class and a sparing class. I also got a leadership 2 credit for doing warm ups. We went over how we are going to do our self defenses; yellow through high red belt number one then in the same order we will do number 2 and so on. I also found out that I need someone to attack me for self defenses at testing. But now I am looking forward to my first mentee session. :-)

Today in BBC I learnt that I have been doing a self defense completely wrong. Though the good news is that I found out before the black belt pre test, so hopefully I wont make that mistake there. Then at the family class I had my first white belt challenge day and it wasn't exactly the same as I thought. (I thought I was just going to keep doing bochadon stuff and the only difference was I had to line up in the back) But it was different, all I could work on was white belt things. Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed pretending to be white belt all over again, I just didn't think that is what was going to happen. :-)

Today I helped out with the class before BBC, I held the target for this group of kids working on their sparing combinations and then I went aside and helped another girl with her sparing combinations 1-14. And of course Black Belt Class came and I took it. A new person came today and she was already my friend so I hope she felt welcome, we were even self defense partners! We also worked a lot on Pogue ill and ee (excuse my spelling please) I should practice it some more but I feel pretty comfortable with it. :-)

We must have done it 20 something times. :-D

today I sat and watched T.V. then my parents did what the normally do: scream at me to get off my lazy butt and do some tae kwon do requirements, then my dad yelled at me to get up to date on logging in what we've done and then my brother yelled at me to start my journal entries. Were would we be without family?
