Today, I decided to be mute because I knew I was going to LKN to help with Bags of Hope and I was going to want to talk. I met KT's Matthew B. and I really wanted to talk, but all I could do was give him the thumbs up and write a quick note. I was successful until I got home and my dog met me at the door and I said HEY! I realized that I goofed in that moment. The rest of the day went fine. I worked on requirements and later realized I failed to enter my tracking on line for awhile, so I'm tapping away tonight.

A Pre-Test is a test to evaluate the preparedness of students for further study. As I was "re-mastering" the first seven Poomsae's, I wondered what kept getting in the way of my daily practice? What was I doing all of this time? Why didn't I wait until the next cycle to get it all together? I convinced myself that this was the perfect time because this is a pretest, and I won't remember what I don't remember. I knew what to expect, but I didn't know what to expect. If I don't do it now, I'll never be ready. I'd probably still have something else to get me off schedule. Since I was given grace, in the form of a pre-test or a dress rehearsal, I now have several opportunities to prepare myself for the big day when it comes. This time I will do what I was supposed to do; Stay Ready So I Don't Have to Get Ready.
