When I woke up, instead of doing my physical requirements, I jumped right into poomsae, self defense, and creative form practice. Typically, I practice my creative form over concrete in my backyard because it is the most open and flat area that is easily accessible. Today when I was twirling my staff like usual, one end struck the ground and completely snapped off. I was shocked; I didn't even know that was a risk. Anyway, later in the day, I went by king tiger in order to get a new staff and since I was there, I was able to get a leadership credit as well. When I came home, I finished up the rest of my physical requirements. That wraps up my day.
