Journal #46 - 2/28/2026 Lalitha
Today was a regular Saturday. Since there was no BBC weekend class, I woke up and practiced what we would usually do at that time. After that I had breakfast and spent most of the morning working on homework and finishing my requirements. While my dad went out for groceries, I helped clean the house. Later, I helped make dinner and accidentally cut myself twice with the knife — I guess I was going a little too fast.
I didn’t eat dinner yet, but my parents watched me do all my poomsaes, self‑defenses, and kicks. After that I unloaded the groceries, read a bit, journaled, and called it a day.
Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷
