Journal #61? - 03/15/2026 Lalitha
Today was a nice day! I finished up my community service essay and then went out for a run. I was feeling super tired for some reason, but I pushed through and got it done. After that, I spent most of the day studying for my benchmarks since I have to go in‑person for the next three days. Once I finished reviewing, I took a nap for a bit.
Later, I practiced all my poomsae, self‑defenses, kicks, and weapon forms. I ate dinner afterward, and now I’m probably going to head to bed soon. Pretty steady day overall, just getting everything ready for the week ahead.
Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷
