Thank you, Master Llyod for helping me with the staff forms today. Slowly but surely, I am checking that curriculum list off.

I worked on the Personal Development essay and finished it. Finished meaning that I have it all written down, so now I can just work on editing it. That was my biggest goal this week, so I am pleased. That what most of my day was spent on besides some chores and the physical requirements.

I worked on my over splits today. What I really need to work as well is kicking drills with the wall or chair, strengthen my muscles, but I didn't have time today.

Ending the night watching cleaning and watching TV. I might watch a few kukkiwon videos as I fold laundry.

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.
