Journal #5 - 1/14/2026 - Lalitha

Hello! Checking in with another journal entry for this cycle. Today was a full but productive day. School was async, so I used the morning to study, catch up on work, and get a few things organized. I also cleaned up my space a bit, which honestly helped reset my focus.

In the afternoon, I headed to TKD. I helped out in the Senior Tiger class, then took the Black Belt class where we worked on single stick (thanks again Aiden :> ) and poomsaes. After that, I had my mentor session (Thanks Master Weeks :> ), which went really well. I also finished my requirements today, which was a huge relief and a solid way to wrap things up.

Wishing everyone a strong rest of the cycle!

Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷
