I wasn’t prepared for the onslaught of frigid weather I encountered this morning on my way to taekwondo. My cheeks were red within seconds and my hands felt like they were going to break off like ice. In order to keep warm, I ran several blocks to get my blood pumping. It didn’t help much but I arrived to tkd a little earlier than usual. My master told me the next few days are going to be just as cold. I’ll have to bundle up even more so.

Winter vacation started yesterday for all the elementary and middle school students. As a result my once solo tkd class multipled into a tally of about 12 new classmates. Believe me it’s cute for about 10 seconds to have a bunch of little kids practicing tkd moves but it gets old really quick. I hope they don’t hinder my practicing for my test.
