This is the first cycle I'm not working at King Tiger. It's different and it brings a new set of benefits and challenges.

I have to work harder to make time to assist in class, and meeting with my mentee and mentor.

Today my boyfriend and I took the rat we found outside to the vet. It been more confirmed that she's not a wild one and someone most likely abandon her. She got a clean bill of health, so now we have to decide what to do, keep her and slowly introduce her to ours or find someone else who's able rehabilitate her.

Today I took it easy with physical req. because I want to save my energy for tomorrow runs.

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.
