Today was a really nice day. Since it was a teacher workday, I didn’t have school, so I used the morning to finish my missing work and get everything caught up. The rest of the day was calm and steady. I practiced all my material; poomsae, self‑defenses, kicks, and weapons — and it felt good to train without rushing.
Later in the afternoon, I helped make dinner, and after we ate, my family and I went on a one‑hour walk. The weather was nice, and it felt peaceful to unwind together.
Happy Eid! And Bangtan had their comeback album Arirang today, which honestly made my whole day. The timing couldn’t have been better, especially with the main Black Belt Test coming up.
Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷
