Last One!

Congratulations everyone! I am not done quite yet...I still have to run .06 miles...I was planning on going for a run in the morning....this just concretes those plans. Lol. Peyton already gave you all some very good advice but I will just add this on: The masters can tell if you are making a mistake --something everyone does-- or if you are not prepared.  I hope that you have used this time to prepare.  Take a deep breath, listen and perform in a way that you will look back and be proud of.  Use your break times wisely, not to play but to practice or help one of your fellow testers practice.  Kihap LOUD!!  Quiet testers are not what that front table wants, be loud, be confident!  Kick high, kihap loud and break those boards and bricks!
