Dog Sitting

I'm dog-sitting this weekend, but in between that I've been prepping for my first day of work this upcoming Monday!

I've also been reflecting on what went well during January and what I want to improve on. How will I keep up with my black belt requirements while transitioning to this job. What do I need to get down this week to be successful.

But the nice thing about dog sitting is I used it as a weekend to enjoy some puppy love and watch movies I never seen before.

Today I made matcha tea for the first time. I'm excited to keep working on it and trying different recipes. I really want to work on enhancing my drink making skills (coffee, tea, etc.). While I was drinking it, I find a few videos on YouTube on how improve the flavor and different add-ons.

I worked on poomsaes using the Kukkiwon Youtube. I only review Il, Eh, and Sam.

Ms. Suzanne and I worked on hopkido 4 last Saturday with guidance from the Grandmaster Lees demo video and in person guidance from Instructor Jen. I didn't think I could learn hopkido from reviewing videos, but after watching hopkido 5 today, multiple times, I feel comfortable with the steps. I'll still need to practice it in person and with an instructor for technique, but at least I'm more familiar about it. Hopikdo it not my favorite thing to practice, so learning it can be a bit overwhelming.
