_{Setting my intentions this week to prioritize study and rest.}

_{This Thursday is my state exam to get my Nursing license. It a tough exam, but I’ve been studying and school had prepare my class really well.
I have fate that I’ll pass, but I still need to continue studying and review material. I also need to rest, so I’m mentally fresh for it.}

_{That means I need to prioritize getting requirements done for the cycle effectively. I might limit my other workouts or fun activities this week (CrossFit and Rollar skating if it doesn’t help me get requirements done). I may try to get ahead, so just do them after the exam, so I can rest Wed/Thur.}

_{Tonight, my father and I had dinner, it was nice.}

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.
