Pretest Saturday

I got up this morning and studied for the written pretest.  Then I taught the Little Tigers class.  We only had one child that showed up for class, probably because of the ice that was still on the road.  I asked Inst. Dege to quiz me some after Little Tigers.  (Thanks ma’am!).  And then it was time for the pretest.  I think everyone did pretty well on the pretest.  There were some mistakes (I messed up on Hwarang Poomsae), but I think most of them were due to nerves.  I know I was very nervous!

We’ve all got things we need to work on, but I think we are all eager to improve.    Someday, I’d like to look like Master Chin when she does her poomsaes.  And like Master Evins when he does self-defense.  J

After Black Belt class, I came home and ran some errands.  Then I was able to get in two miles before dark and finish my requirements.
