Candidate Journals

Had the day off today, so I spent a majority of the day relaxing and playing video games. After I did my requirements, I went to help out the junior tigers then I did my black belt class. My mentee hasn’t been coming lately, so I might need to find a new one.

Relatively calm day today. I had got a lot of snacks from the day before so I’m excited to eat those. I also got a new video game which I‘ve been playing for a majority of the day.

Not much to note for today. I was able to get a black belt class, sparring class, leadership credit, and a mentor session in one day which was pretty nice. Unfortunately, I could only really spar at full power because I didn’t want to injure my toes any further. Nevertheless, sparring was still fun. Had dumplings today too!

Very busy day today. After school, I had to take a physics test which was way harder than I thought. Right after, I had to meet up with my classmates to finish a project. Finally I get to go home and wind down a bit.

Very uneventful day. The most interesting thing that happened in school was that we had a quiz in English class. I think I did pretty well. I didn’t get to help out with the junior tigers today but I did get my black belt credit in! Anyways I need to go to bed now, so goodnight everyone!

Very calm day today. We didn’t do much at school today so I had a lot of free time when I got home. Before I got home though, I volunteered and helped to clean out the school with a couple of my friends. When I got home, I took a nap which was so refreshing. Went to class today to get a mentee session in (might get one tomorrow as well). Anyways, I might just end the day off by watching some Netflix or something.

Foot is a lot better now. I was able to work on my requirements, but I still need to catch up. At tae kwan do, I was able to get both leadership credits, a black belt weekday and a mentor session in all at once. Once I got home, I played a little more of my phone Family Guy game, still fun as ever. Not excited for school tomorrow.

Another day of recovery. I mostly spent the day catching up on schoolwork and working on my essays. I also watched the Super Bowl (Seahawks fan) and I thought the halftime show was pretty good. Hoepfully by tomorrow I'll be fully healed up because I don't want to miss any classes right now.

Unfortunatley I couldn't really do much today. My foot was aching and hurting like crazy and I could barely walk, so I didn't go to class today. I mostly spent the day resting and trying to recover. As of writing this, my foot feels much better. Hopefully by Monday I will be all healed up. Once my foot heals completely, I'm going to have to make up the requirments I lost out on.

Today is Friday, which means that my schoolwork was relatively calm. I had two tests back to back today, which I was not prepared for. Once I got home I was able to relax a bit before I left for black belt class. Was able to spar and get a mentor session in. After class ended, I played this Family Guy game on my phone, which is surprisingly entertaining. Excited for the weekend!

We had a 2 hour delay today, which was super nice. I wish we had these all the time so I don’t have to wake up so early. Did the usual today, homework, requirements and things like that. My run today was really satisfying for some reason, not sure why. Anyways, tomorrow we go back to a regular school schedule, which is super disappointing, but what can you do.

Today was also a remote day. The work for today was lesser than yesterday, but still a good amount. Not too hard either. At practice today, I was able to help out with the younger students and also get my black belt credit in. Got a two hour delay tomorrow, which is better than nothing I guess.

Had a lot of homework to do today. Really spent most of the day doing that + my requirements. I also ran 2 miles today, but the cold was insane. But practice was fun today, got in some good work. Anyways, I’m just hoping the work tomorrow is a little tamer.

Kept things pretty chill today. Mostly did work around the house and played video games. If there’s still snow tomorrow, I might go sledding with a couple of my friends.

Another snow day today! This time, it was much larger and less icy. Besides hanging out outside, I mostly spent the day doing requirements and my tutoring. Hoping that this snow continues so we don’t have to go to school lol.

This month passed by so quickly in my opinion. I’m excited for the snow day tomorrow and hopefully I actually get to go outside. Other than that, class today was pretty manageable, got a lot of work done. Excited to see what February has in stock for me.

We had a two hour delay today, which was really nice as I didn’t have to wake up so early. School today was relatively calm, not much happened. I was also able to help out with belt testing as that was happening today. Sad that school isn’t delayed for tomorrow.

I was able to get a good amount of work done today. Today was a remote learning so I spent most of the day doing class work. I was also able to briefly help out during testing and I also got in a mentee session at the same time. Good work today, hoping this continues.

Pretty productive day. I was able to work on some curriculum and go lifting on the same day. Usually I don’t have time for both, but today I did! Also got some Dairi-O’s, which tasted super good. Hoping this 5 day weekend continues to grow.

Finally some snow today. When I looked outside today it was so nice. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to play in it as I had to stay inside the whole day finishing my english project. Oh well, hoping I get to have some fun tomorrow.

Woke up pretty early this morning and got to class. I was able to spar, help out the junior tigers, and work with some of the older kids all at once. After I did that, I got a quick mento session in where we got to work on every poomsae. A bit dissapointed that there has been no snow outside, but oh well. Excited to rest up tomorrow, but I have to get to work right now.

Not a bad workout today. I feel like my stamina is a lot better now. My sparring has also got better; not bad for someone who hasn't sparred in a long while. Hoping we get some snow tomorrow, but you'll never know.

Today was relatively relaxed. We had a substitute teacher in math so I used that time to get some work done. I went to a club meeting after school and I won some candy. Got home, and now I’m finishing up my work.

Got a lot of work done today. I cleaned my bathroom and room, finished some homework, and was able to study a bit of poomsaes/self defenses. Also my mile time dropped a good amount today too, which I feel good about. 

Relaxed a bit today. Had some tutoring in the afternoon but it wasn’t all bad. Worked on requirements afterwards. Overall  pretty average day.

I have been seeing some improvement within my sparring. I’ve been using much more strategy and I have not been relying on strength only. Still have a long way to go.

Today is Friday, so I get to finally relax. It’s also a 3 day weekend, which means this is my opportunity to get ahead on requirements. Things have got slow at times, but I am still able to push forward. Looking forward to my future improvements.

Today was fun. I had a lot of homework today, but I was able to finish most of it in class. After school, I hung out with my friends which was fun. When I got home, I did a little studying then worked on curriculum.

I’ve just been keeping this pushing right now. I joined a new club at school and I’ve been practicing mostly poomsaes. I also taught a mentee today and I don’t think I did too bad. Still have a long way to go.

Today was fun day. I woke up early again for school. Nothing very eventful happened there, but I was able to study and do work with my friends at a restaurant after school. When I got home I mainly worked on poomsaes and finished up the last bit of homework I had. I still have much room to grow.

Another uneventful day. I woke up very early to get to school. We started a new unit in math class and I am starting to understand physics class more. When I got home I did my physical requirments then I finished my homework. I had a lot of homework today, so my schedule was very tight as I had to go lead class right after. Now that I am home, I will shower, eat dinner, and wind down a bit.

Today was very calm. I started my day by going out with my friends. We hit up a couple shops but I didn’t buy anything for myself. We got lunch together which was basically my breakfast as I didn’t eat anything in the morning. After that, I went to my tutoring session where I worked on a practice test then reviews afterwards. When I got home I stretched for a bit and got ready for bed.

Today we had the pretest. I woke up at 5am so I could get ready and get to the track on time by 6:30. When I got there I waited a bit and then did my run with the other Bo Cho’s. We then went to the North Charlotte location for the physical/mental exam which I did decently on. Overall, I think I did well but there is room for improvement.

Today I woke up and went to school. I had a math quiz today but it was not too difficult. We began to work on our project for English as well. When I got home I was able to get in some curriculum studying in and then I went to black belt class. After that, we had advanced sparring which went well. Once I got home I showered and now I have to sleep early in order to be prepared for the pre-test.

I started my day at 5:30 when I got ready for school. I had to catch up on my math homework and also find potential teachers to get a recommendation letter from. Once I got home I finished up the remaining homework I had and hit a quick mile run. I see some improvement but I know I can be better. When I got back I studied some poomsaes and did my physical requirements. 

Today was a relatively simple day. I woke up and got ready for school. I had some english homework but I was able to finish it in class. I also had math homework but I couldn’t finish it in class so I did it at home. Once I got home I ate and finished my homework, then
