​Today was a good day. Woke up and went to 9Round—got in a really good workout today. I was pretty hungry afterward, so I grabbed lunch right when I got to work. After lunch, I worked on my essay for a bit before getting the kiddos.

​I helped in classes this afternoon and took videos of our after-school kids to send to their parents so they could see them in action. It went well, and I hope the parents appreciate seeing their progress.

​I took the 5:15 class and focused on more self-defense. After class, I went through the rest of the test with my mentor to make sure my answers were correct for studying going forward.

​Once I got home, I had to grab a quick dinner since I was starving. Watched the NFL kickoff game before heading to bed. Long day tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good day!
