Today started rough but ended a lot better. I also realized today, after being at the dojo for a few hours, it’s starting to feel like a second home in a way. I think I’m getting more in the rhythm of knowing the curriculum, starting to teach it, (and just being there all the freaking time lol). One thing I put in my applying tkd to life essay was, it’s helped to make me comfortable with discomfort. Having been in all the different more scary classes/situations recently, it keeps feeling lighter to walk in there. Like, I used to be nervous for every color belt class. Now it’s more like, oh finally just a color belt class! It’s wild haha. Anyways I got a solid workout, solid essay session and classes, then watched some family guy and now going to bed. Goodnight guys
