I’m trying very hard to fight testing jitters. Several of my instructors have been giving me pep talks already lol. Worrying won’t help so I’m trying to just focus on buttoning up requirements. There’s nothing I’m completely lost on, just can’t lose momentum I think. Gonna keep trying to do extra requirements as well. I do think the fact that I’m so nervous also means I’ll do better. Although it’s not fun now lol I don’t need the nerves yet. Park was nice today too. At one point we were all in a circle, facing in, and tried il chang and koreyo. That was fun.
