All Done!! (read for some advice about testing)

I didn't have time to write a journal yesterday but I have officially finished all of my requirements! I'm so happy that I'm going to get some of my free time back now! I honestly don't know what I'll be doing when I get home now, I don't remeber what I was doing before cycle to fill my time lol! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and excited about testing tomorrow! Make sure you are checking your emails for details about dates, times, and locations!! Definitely get to testing early on Friday, I tried to be there about 30 minutes early. Bring snacks, water/hydration drinks, weapons, sparring gear, an all white uniform (black collar is fine), black belt cycle book, and an extra shirt/jacket to throw over your uniform when eating. It is going to be a long night no matter what but if you respond repectfully and loudly, do what you are told to, and know what you are supposed to it will be a lot shorter and more fun. Try to stay in a positive mood and cheer on your fellow candidates and friends! You guys will do great! It has been a pleausure to be on black belt cycle with you! ~ Peyton
