Last day and I'm pretty anxious. Usually I try to be very 'chill' so to speak and try not to get overwhelmed by projects, tasks and events, but this is really getting to me. I didn't sleep very well last night so I'm already pretty tired.

Hello. Not much went on today. Came to class and practiced some forms like the Bolo form and Staff form 2 with my buds at Lake Norman. I have to write this essay for my senior exit project for tomorrow.

Couple weeks

Although the black belt test is coming up, I have to study for my AP test which are the 1st 2 weeks of May. There are many things going on at once for me, it's kind of stressful

Not much happened today. I mostly did homework most of the day. I still have a Statistics homework assignment to do, so I guess I'll do that next.

Somewhat bad news. I think I forgot to journal Thursday and that might become an issue. I hope not. I have a decent amount of homework for this weekend. I already got my spanish out of the way, so that's good.

Honestly, today was a terrible day. Long day at school with AP Biology test. I had the honors band clinic, in Charlotte right after so I bought dinner at taco bell for some reason. Terrible traffic. Got there, we played from 4-9pm. Absolutely awful. And one cold quesadilla for 'dinner'. Took a while to drive back.  They now expect us to come back at 7:45. So basically wake up at 6 and leave at 7. So basically the soonest I could get home was about 9:45 and the latest I can wake up is 6:00, I have about 8:15 hrs to eat, shower, do miscellaneous work and sleep. This is absolutely ridiculous. Then tomorrow, we have to stay there until 3pm. I don't remember signing up for voluntary punishment for being alive. Also, I missed a journal yesterday

Hello. Not much has happened. I have a case study to read about for biology about the Hedgehog gene, yet gene has no relation to hedge hogs. It apparently got its name after some biologists infused the genes into fruit fly eggs and the hatched fruit flies looked as if they had dense spines.

As I have made a list of homework assignments to complete before the break, I have 25% done. This does not include studying for tests and out of school work. I'm looking forward to when I have all I need completed.

This is kind of disappointing. My mom told me that she wanted me to drive my sisters to swimming. She changed her mind and told me that she could drive them, but it was a couple minutes before 6:30 right before sparring class. I'm not trying to kiss up, but i thought that a sparring class today would be cool. I'm going to ask Master Mrs. Hartle and Master Mr. Hartle if I can help with testing. I haven't done that so i thought it would be pretty cool to terrorize children.

Well I'm pretty much packed for instructor's camp. I can't say I'm not nervous. I'm not looking forward to the homework I'll have to catch up, but hopefully this camp will give me more drive. I'm beginning to feel lazy like most seniors do at this time. Pretty weak of me.

This was a while ago, but I was out running one day and I saw a squirrel. I guess it didn't see me because I kept running and got pretty close to it before it went nuts and bolted. Hahaha, get it? Nuts, as in what squirrels eat and nuts and bolts as in a mechanical fastening device. Hahaha

I meant to write this yesterday. Yesterday I either badly sprained my toe or straight up broke it. Anyway, it's unpleasant to walk. I stayed away from doing more intense foot-involved requirments and just did pulls ups and a couple sets of poomsaes and self defenses to avoid permanent deformities. It's getting better already and I'm pretty sure I can do class tomorrow without worsening it.

Yesterday was alright I guess. I had the usual Friday Combo: school, piano lesson, class. My older sister came over from college to stay the weekend. I'll be catching up on some Spanish, do a couple mile run, and then head to class.

While I was running, I ran pretty close to a squirrel. It was pretty interesting. I went to sparring class today. I've heard that there's going to be a large scale blizzard monday, which is apparently going to drop at least 24 feet of snow.

Alright, so I've decided to write my journals as soon as get home from school. If I wait untill I go to bed, I maybe doing homework that takes me past 0:00. Also, I have my French Horn lesson at 6:30-7:00. Class starts at 7. I rescheduled it the best I could, but I may arrive a bit late.

Here is something fairly interesting that I have done. I started a couple weeks ago and it caught on. So everyday when I get home from school I do exactly 10 pull ups before I walk into the garage. It's easy, doesn't take a lot of time and I'm just pretty happy I've created this habit for myself. I don't even think about it anymore. I just see it as just a regular thing to do before coming home and it's just become a regular thing. Anyway, I've got to get to bed, I have a test or two tomorrow.

I'm not sure about what to write. I mean, I know what I have to do for the cycle, and I'm trying to increase the amount of requirements I do each day. I guess news for me is that I got another piece to learn on the piano, along with the one I'm currently working on, half-way learned. For today, I guess I focus on finishing Statistics homework assignments that I haven't finished yet.

Well. Today I had an interview with an alumnus. I did some requirements today and yesterday. I have them written down, but I havn't logged them in yet. I'm planning of attending class tomorrow to get my jump ropes in. We don't have a jump rope at home that's long enough.

Went to Weekday black belt class today. Master Chelly made us do that challenge, which is cool as I lack self motivation. I better write down all the homework I have to do over the weekend.

Well. Regular day today, I guess. I'm a bit behind on homework, which is a bother. I absolutly want to get all my requirments in the green. None of them should be in the orange. Anyhow, I have the weekend to work on both school and TKD, so that's good. Instructor Marcus's class was excellent. As almost everyone knows by now, we did some kick boxing.

No school today which was suprising. I shoved the driveway of ice the entire morning. A nice layer of about 1 inch, probably a bit less. I did some requirments, not enough really. I heard that there's class today, so I'll be going in just a bit.

Well I'm back from my 'run'. The side walk was so covered in ice, it was nearly impossible to distinguish it from an ice skating ring. Most of the time I wasn't even running, I was just walking at a fast pace while trying to keep my balance. Although I slipped several times, I only managed to fall once. No damaged muscles or bones, so that's good. I guess I'll do some studying then do the other requirement testing. I really don't want to put an 8+ time on my pretest, so I'll run when it's run-able out.

I woke up, went to school, came back because no classes. Did some homework, didn't finish. It was just page after page of reading. Absolutely ridiculous. I wanted to go for a run, but it was like snowing or something so i just sat around doing nothing the whole day. I resettled my horn lesson on Wednesday days so that I can attend class that day.

Ran quite a bit this morning. It was pretty cold, so cold in fact that I had to stop once in a while to warm my hands and ears. In retrospect, I should of worn more than a T-Shirt, undershirt and shorts. It was fun I guess. Spanish V midterm today. It's so long that our teacher had to split it, so I guess I just tested for the second half.

Regular day today, I guess. I'm getting a bit behind in my requirments, which is bad. A bad habit to start. Last midterm tomorrow. I just realized that I missed class tonight. Today is just not going very well at all. It will be better tomorrow. I'll go for a run on the freeway which is quite a few miles. I'll have to get all the bars on green.

Today is Monday, obviously. I would like to train for crew (rowing) so that I may join the team when I get to college. I'll have to fix my erg at home first. Midterms are 3/7ths done. The 5 to go are probably the hardest, so I better study even more. I hope everyone else is doing fairly well. Sam

Today was fully of tae kwon do stuff. Once I got home, I ran 2 miles but there was this one patch of sidewalk which was iced for about 20m. Then I went to class and my little sisters forced me to do a bunch of stuff afterwards. I don't enjoy doing poomsaes at home more than at class. At home it feels kinda cramped bc of the furniture and in class, my Masters and Instructors are there to correct me if I forget something, which I really appreciate. :)
