lock-"in"

Today started as any normal day but as first period started, someone came on the P.A. saying we are going into a lock-in. We all huddled up in the corner asuming it was a shooter but were then notified that there was a bomb theat. We were told to leave EVERYTHING at our desks and go out to the field. I even left my phone not knowing that we wouldn't be going back to the class. We then proceded to walk quietly to the field and sit in a designated spot for our class, from there we spent 2 and a half hours in the field trying to keep ourselves entertained. On top of that it was freezing cold raining and I didn't bring any warm clothes. After a painful 2.5hrs we went onto a bus bringing us to a place call Foam X, an abondoned foam factory that they use...

Another boring school day

today nothing really special happened, aside from the fact I left school 30 minutes early to go to an appointment. I also "helped out at testing" but I really did nothing aside from sit and watch. Another casual day.

Digital Detox Pt. 2

Today I did my second digital detox which is really interetsing because i'm constantly bored and wanting to check my phone, lucky for me, my phone was locked away in rice prison which made it easier to not check it for I'm not constantly looking at it. During today I did 2 bike rikes, 2 days of self defence, 1 day of poomsae, and 1 day of kicks. Maybe I should do this more often.

Kick-A-Thon

Today was a great day, We attended the Kick-A-Thon where I hopefully did 1200 kicks but I'm not sure. It was so funny seeing that Callen & Cooper had $550 in donations. I got done with my kicks in like 20 minutes and starting helping others. Today was definitely different and fun!

Met a dog today

today was the usual school/bb class combo that I always do on fridays, but on the way to school I did meet this Great Permease dog and he was the fluffiest I'd ever seen. That's all the excitement for today

Today I got back from my dad’s so it was a bit of a re warmup. I went to rolls and falls class which was a little tough because my hips and shoulders hit after but the pain quickly dissipated. I then went to bb class which was cool because I relearned Kicking Defense and learned the “Devastator Kick”. overall a good day

Big day 7/18

I started my day with a coding class which usually never works but today it did so that's good. I caught up for today AND tomorrow for physical requirements so that's a nice burden out of the way. I then went to 6pm class and attended sparring which would've been nice if my foot hadn't been hurting because of my Sever's. after that I went to Sabor and had some nachossssss.

Excited for my trip!

Tomorrow I get to go on my snowboarding/skiing trip with my friends which I'm super excited for as it says in the title. I'm going to Steamboat Springs, CO. I get to wake up at around 2:30AM because our flight leaves at 5:10AM so yay... Steamboat is getting TONS of snow this year so it should be a great season for snowboarding.

Freezing Cold Run

This morning I had to run my "baseline" mile, unfortunately it was around 33 degrees fahrenheight. It was quite tough because of the weather. I eventually got through it despite the temperature. All-In-All pretty tough even though I was in "the back of the pack".
