I started today sleeping in. Its nice not having to get up and go anywhere first thing in the morning, but only sometimes. Monday I had a lot of high, do it, energy. Today I still have energy, but its a bit slower if that makes any sense. I'm still motivated, I feel good, I feel excited for the day; but I don't feel like I need to rush and get a lot of things done.

I know what I need to do today, and it will get done.

I probably really start my day and black belt requirements after I have lunch with my friend. Then later if I have the energy, I will go roller skating.

Because I have such so much to do this evening, it good I slept in, or at least that what I will tell myself.

Today I made matcha tea for the first time. I'm excited to keep working on it and trying different recipes. I really want to work on enhancing my drink making skills (coffee, tea, etc.). While I was drinking it, I find a few videos on YouTube on how improve the flavor and different add-ons.

I worked on poomsaes using the Kukkiwon Youtube. I only review Il, Eh, and Sam.

Ms. Suzanne and I worked on hopkido 4 last Saturday with guidance from the Grandmaster Lees demo video and in person guidance from Instructor Jen. I didn't think I could learn hopkido from reviewing videos, but after watching hopkido 5 today, multiple times, I feel comfortable with the steps. I'll still need to practice it in person and with an instructor for technique, but at least I'm more familiar about it. Hopikdo it not my favorite thing to practice, so learning it can be a bit overwhelming.
