1/6/2024 (journal entry)

Today was the day of the black belt cycle pre test. I was exited but at the same time worried. I woke up and fell back to sleep to hear my mom saying stop oversleeping. I got ready put my dog in her crate and gave her a dog treat and got in my car. I stopped at chick-fil-a to get a biscuit and hashbrowns. I arrived at Grand Master Evins dojang and my mom told me that breakfast was over. I got out and entered to see a lot of familiar faces. I practiced with one of my friends on self defense and we soon started the pre test. We first warmed up with exercise, then went into the written exam (which I think i did horrible on). After that we did poomsaes and i think i did really well on them. My mom soon picked me up and I went back home to see that my new pull up bar came in. I did some other exercises before using this. I then updated my journal and started doing this online journal. Overall today was a really good day and I am excited to start my first cycle and I want to say thank you for everyone helping me get to this point of taekwondo.
