Journal #41 - 2/23/2026 Lalitha
Today I was basically on autopilot. School was normal and went by pretty fast, and I finished my work without much trouble. I did my requirements and then headed to taekwondo. My first class was PMAA, and we worked on single stick today. After that I helped with the Senior Tigers class; specifically the red belts and a blue belt on their forms. Then I worked with Emelia for her mentee session and helped her get ready for her belt test tomorrow. After that I had my mentor session with Master Weeks, and we went over a few self‑defenses. When I got home, I helped make dinner, listened to Atomic Habits for my essay, finished my homework, and called it a day.
Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷
