1/29: today I woke up and my day started out rough. went to school and had bible class first period. around lunchtime I got a horrible headache which still hasn't left me. I came home and tried to help resolve whatever issue it was that was causing my headache, to no avail. I pushed through the pain and went to classes tonight. this helped me realize that even on our roughest days, taekwondo can be an escape from that, at least for a few minutes. experiences like this further cement my appreciation for my friends and masters/instructors. I came home and will begin finishing up some homework for tomorrow.
