I have officially completely paid for the Korea trip!  Now I just need to save up some spending money!  Today was a typical Monday at work, very busy.  I'm home now and about to get started on requirements.  I'm starting to get nervous about testing in front of Grandmaster Lee and his Korean colleagues who are so high up in the ranks at Kukkiwon.  I'm scared my mind will go blank and I'll just freeze.  I actually did go blank when I performed my creative form at the public exam when I tested for 4th Dan.  I just kept moving my staff until the music stopped.  I even looked at Master Chelley at one point and did jazz hands.  Not my best moment.  Thank goodness she laughed.  It was very obvious that I was not doing the same form I had done for the Masters during the private exam.
