TKD and book talk

Hello fellow cyclists. Welcome to another journal. I want to talk about how excited I am about the upcoming test this weekend. I kid you not, this will be the longest week of my life. Tonight in class we did some preparation for the test. Praneeth and I were the only two testers taking Master Chelly's class. We did some self-defense and poomsaes. All of these classes in the last week have a special feeling to them and it seems like they're talking to me and saying, "these are your last days young bird, use them wisely".  To relax, I started a new book that Instructor Jen recommended to me called "Bridge to Terebithia", which is about a kid and his best friend who make a magical kingdom called Terebithia. That's all I'll say for now. I don't want to ruin it for anyone else who may want to read it but it comes highly recommended from Instructor Jen. Previously I was reading a book called "The Sign of the Beaver", which is about a kid left alone in the wilderness to protect a cabin. This book was also recommended to me but this time by a friend in my class. I like to read when I'm not doing taekwondo so if you want to talk about books let me know and you can bet your pennies I won't stop talking. Anyway, I'm going to wrap this turtle up like a package. I hope you all as excited about the test as I am. Thanks for reading!
