July 18th- Library Day

455 Hits

Library Day at Summer Camp. Decided to pick up a book to help with a new skill (I believe 1st Dans still have to pick a new skill). I want to learn ASL, I'm taking a college class in asl in the fall and want to get a head start in learning it. My coworker/friend got a book in Japanese so hopefully we can meet up and study our languages together. The library didn't have adult languages books so we choose children language book. No shame, I need to start somewhere.

Finish reading The Alchemist, going to start the essay this weekend!

Finally able to do 10-15 reps of push-ups without stopping going to try to get 20-25 reps. I think its more of mental challenge then a physically one. Also I need to take a rest day so my arms and back and recover.

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.
