Today I slept in for a while then I got up and went to the dentist.  At the dentist I got my teeth cleaned and had no cavities. After that I went downstairs to see the orthodontist. I will need Invisalign but will only have to wear them for about a year or so.  Then I came home.  I worked on some requirements and then went to class and sparring.    Going to head to bed early tonight.

Today I woke up and went to school.  It was the same stuff as usual.  After school I had baseball.   Where I was working in the outfield.   They had a machine throwing as fast as it could go. They had us running from the infield to the outfield fence.   We had to do that for an hour.   Then I was dispose to have a baseball camp in Charlotte but the other team did not show up.  We ended up having a practice instead.  Lots of baseball today.

From the storm.  My aunt is going to try and get home Tuesday. This should be the day my g.  But since they have no power she called to see if we could get some groceries for her and my granddad.  My granddad should be able to go home from the hospital on Tuesday.    Mom went to the store tonight and we are planning on taking these to her tomorrow night.

The written test.  I am pretty confident I did ok.  Then we went back to lake Norman after we were done because Callen needed a class assist.  I decided to help because it was a really big class and nothing better to do. After that we came home and dropped Callen off.  Then me and my mom went to the store to get water, and snacks for my Aunt and my Granddad.  My grandad is in the hospital and my aunt got stuck down in Spartanburg and has not been able to get back home to Weaverville because of the storms.  Then we...

Today I woke up after sleeping in a little later. I didn’t have school in person.  Then I did my school work which did not take very long.  When I was done with that it was still raining so I was stuck inside.  Which kinda sucked.   While inside I worked on some of my stuff. I took breaks to play games with Callen.  Then I went to work but there were not many kids so I just work on my requirements.   Then had rolls and falls and black belt.  Then I came home.  Studied and worked on finishing my essays.   Now heading to bed.

I went to school.  Then during second block we were told there was no school on Friday.  So I was very excited because I could do my stuff but also I was sad because I could not go outside to play with my friend.  Instead I have to stay inside and really not do anything.  But then I came home and took a nap.  When I woke up I went to sparring.  It was fun.  After we were done we got some food and came home.  Now I am playing Xbox with my little brother.

I moved all my catcher gear and bats to my new baseball bag.   We went to pikes to look for a spruce but they didn’t have any because it has been so hot and they will not get any until it gets cooler. We are going to look at Lowe’s tomorrow.  We then went to eat and now I am tired again.  Mom is going to give me more cold medicine before I go to bed.

Today I was still pretty tired from camp. I guess I didn’t get much sleep while I was gone.  Last week I was a Seabase scout camp and I got to learn to drive a sail boat in the FL keys.   We went snorkeling and fishing.  Hopefully tomorrow I will not be so tired and will be able to get caught up on my requirements I could not do while I was gone.

This morning I woke up and took my drivers Ed class.  Today we took a couple of tests on the last 4 chapters we read. They were 16 questions and I am pretty confident I got them right.  I had to leave class at 5 to make it to black belt class.  After class I came home and walked my friend’s dog.  I walked with my mom and little brother.   After that we walked our own dog Smokey.  I showed them a new route to get some extra miles in.  It made Smokey really tired.  Then we went to the store to buy stuff for nachos.   I made na his for me and my little brother.  Then I am heading back over to let Cooper out one last time before bed.
