Today was a teacher work day- not due to the weather, but because it's the end of 2nd quarter already!?! I feel like yesterday was the first day of school for this year. I had all intentions of going to Harrisburg for sparring....nope. I'm exhausted. This week with the snow taking a day really messed up my schedule. I'll be in bed by 7pm and probably asleep by 730. I'll do my charts tomorrow.

Plan for tomorrow:

Blackbelt class, JTs, requirements, nap. Yes, in that order (I'll throw a shower in there too)

I've been in martial arts since 2002. I started in tong soo do under Head master M.K. Lee in Pineville, N.C. After I broke my left hand during a colored belt exam, I switched to Taekwondo under Head master William Grady down in Pineville, N.C. I trained at Eagle Taekwondo for 8 years, earning my 3rd Dan. When Covid the dojang did not survive. I have now been training at King Tiger , North Charlotte location, under Grand Master Evins since June of 2023. I am excited to start my Masters journey, but very nervous at the same time. I look forward to meeting the other candidates.
