Today was a great day. I woke up and did my cycle and then played with my friend later in the day. We went in my pool and then played at some of my neighbor's house. Can't believe the weekend is already over. I've had colds for the weekend but am starting to feel a lot better. Only 13 more miles to run left.

Hello everyone! Today I didn't have classes so I did a lot of homework and wrote an essay. I have been worried for the physical and written test. I have a question for anyone reading this. Do the living hero essays for the Bocho Dans need to be on famous people? Thanks!

August 20-22 Journal

It's been hard lately. Trying to balance all my stuff with Taekwondo is difficult. I also figured out I was not doing enough for the cycle so now I have to do extra. But that part is my fault. I got a lot of work to do so I better get going.
