hello everyone, i'm hansika and i am on my third cycle and i am going to be testing for my third degree black belt. a little intro since i forgot to journal yesterday. anyways, i'm trying to get in the habit of doing my journaling everyday so i don't get behind on it. today i woke up and went to a class from 9-1 pm so my entire morning was pretty much gone. after i got home i watched the world cup FINALS. guys you don't understand how happy i was when spain won. i remember thinking lamine yamal was niche back in 2023 when he just started playing for barca and now this kid won the world cup 🥹. also not to mention that he's only two years older than me?! like...what am i even doing with my life.
after watching the game i was lowkey motivated to do some of my requirements. i think i unlocked a new genre of chud because tell me why i though it was a bright idea to move the treadmill into the loft and play fortnite on the projector while i was doing my run. (i just thought of this idea: what if i pretend to move like my fortnite character. like when it's jogging i can also jog and when it's sprinting i should also sprint. that sounds so stupid i should just stop.) anyways speaking of requirements...the pretest yesterday lowkey killed me. like when i woke up today morning i couldn't even sit up or walk up and down the stairs. and i probably made it worse by doing more stuff today...but...we ball (#fairs 👌). there's this one latin proverb that i really like: per aspera ad astra. it means something like through the hardships to the stars, and i think it pretty much describes this cycle. the soreness, the countless hours that we put in, and all the requirements are super annoying, but when we get our new belts and see our hard work pay off we feel fulfilled. so in case you guys need some motivation just remember that you have to struggle now to see the fruits of your labor in the future. i guess this also applies to everything else in life.
also, guys i'm taking my license test this week and i'm so scared. i NEED my license so i NEED to pass this test so i went out just now to practice reversing without looking at the camera thing. this was lowkey super hard because i can hardly see out of the rear windshield because im short 😭.
okay well that's all i have for today...catch you guys in the next journal.✌️
