Journal #47 - 3/01/2026 Lalitha

Today was normal. I woke up, did my requirements, studied, and finished my homework. My parents and I went for a walk outside and got around 2.5 miles in. After that I practiced my poomsaes and weapon forms, then had dinner. I can already feel that this week is going to be super tiring and rough, but I just have to keep going.

I finished the day helping my parents vacuum. For some reason I suddenly grabbed all my art supplies from my desk and moved them to a separate shelf — maybe that’s a sign to lock in even more, lol. I reviewed the Instructor’s Camp book Master Weeks gave me (truly grateful for that) and studied for the written part of the test. Overall, a steady Sunday.

Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷    ^-^
