I was at the dentist all morning because I was doing a cleaning and filling. The I went to mint hill with my friends to get some plants. They moved to concord almost a full year ago and now they're working on their yard/garden. I picked a blueberry bush because I heard they were good fruit trees to start with and they can stay in pot and be fruitful. I'm not the best with keeping plants alive, partly because I would split my living with my parents, another reason was because I never had much discipline or motivation too.

I just potted them and moved them near my front door, so they get great sunlight and I see them everyday.

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.
