Good evening, everyone! As the end of the cycle is approaching, I would like to say congratulations to everyone for all the hard work and effort that we put in this cycle. We all did amazing, for pushing through the toughest, surviving and overcoming bad days, triumphing over difficulties, and learning throughout this journey. Though this is only my audit cycle, I feel accomplished and ready for the next cycle. Congratulations everyone again and I hope you all the best of luck for the overnight testing. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. I wasn’t able to get my journal in yesterday, but all good since I made it up today. Today, had a lot of fun at school. This week is our HOCO spirit week, and we were able to dress up per the day. Monday was Country vs Country Club day, yesterday was Y2K, and today was White Lies. I finished all my requirements for the day, but not much to do now. I have myself mentally prepared and ready for the weeks ahead. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! This week has been good for the most part. My leg has been killing me for the last couple of days, and today it just so happened that I lost my voice. I am trying my best to recover during these times and push through the last week of only the start of my audit. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! This week has been better. I've been doing well in school and haven't been procrastinating on my assignments too much, which is good. My classes seem to be going well, and I'm glad we didn't have school today because my foot has been hurting a lot. I'm not sure if I will go to Black Belt class tomorrow due to my foot, but hopefully it will get better. Today, I finished my requirements and the rest of the day was relaxing. The power went out at my house around 4ish, so I wasn't able to make it to class today. It came back later, around 7, and we decided to go out to eat. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a good day. For the most part, yesterday was a slow, relaxing day. My family and I went to temple and during the car ride I could feel my ankle bulging with pain, and it was not a good feeling. After temple, we came back home, and I took some rest. Today, I woke up early but decided to stay in bed for a little. My ankle is doing a lot better now, and I will finish my requirements in a little. I am planning on finishing up one of my essays and relaxing. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! This week has been rough with my ankle. I've been pushing through the pain during class and when I am finishing my requirements each day, but after taking sparring on Thursday, it got a lot worse. I really am hoping that it gets better before Monday because I've been sitting out in P.E. almost every day now. Today, I headed to class in the morning, and we were able to work on our self-defenses and blocks. After finishing up class, I came back home and finished my requirements, then we headed off to temple. I just came back, and I desperately need some rest. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was not a great day. I went to school early in the morning, and as I was getting off the bus, I fell on my ankle extremely hard, and my friend even heard a crack. I ended up having to go to the nurse, and she told me that i must have twisted my ankle. I could barely even walk, and later we went to the doctor, who informed us that my ankle was sprained. Despite the pain, I went to class today and got my credits. Have a wonderful day!  

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. I finished my requirements early in the morning and had the rest of the day to relax and help my parents. Everything went well, and I went to sleep extra early to get some more hours in. Today I woke up really late and didn't do much. I finished my requirements, went to the mall with my mom, helped cook dinner, and finished a class I had. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. I went to school in the morning, came back and finished some homework with my friend, then finished some more assignments later on in the day. I fell asleep pretty early but managed to finish my requirements beforehand. Today I went to school, and it was a boring day. My English teacher lectured us the entire class, and we ended up doing a pop quiz. After school, I came home and finished my requirements. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a long, yet nice day. I came home from school, finished my requirements, had dinner, and went straight to bed. Today, I went to school early in the morning and it was a long day. I ended up sleeping in one of my free classes because I was knocked out. After school, I came back and finished my requirements, called my friend to finish some school work, and then my mom went to get my dad from the airport. I started watching the beginning of the game tonight but am really tired, so decided I was going to sleep. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. I finished my requirements after coming from school yesterday and then relaxed the rest of the day. I was hoping to watch the presidential debate but ended up falling asleep instead. Today I went to school, and it was a nice day. In PE, we ended up doing the pacer test, which got my "run" in for the day. I would also like to take a moment acknowledge all the brave people and tragic events that happened on this day years ago. This day will never be forgotten in history. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. My dad headed out of town yesterday, so it's just me and my mom at home now. We were able to watch a few movies, and she even tested me on some of my poomsaes. Today, I went to school in the morning and came back exhausted. I finished some homework and my requirements and am planning on watching the presidential debate happening soon. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. I went to black belt class, and we ended up doing a lot. After coming back, I finished a lot of stuff I've been procrastinating on, including some of my essays and tracking on the website. After helping my parents clean the house and my room, we talked to my brother for a bit. Today, I woke up late and am about to take a shower and get my requirements done for the day. I have a lot to finish today. Have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. For some reason, my teachers always love giving us quizzes at the end of the week, basically making me end up doing a test in almost all of my classes. After coming back from school, I knocked out the rest of my requirements and didn't have to go on a run because we ran the mile in PE. Before heading to black belt class, I took a quick nap and was reenergized for the rest of the day. I took rolls and falls class, BBC, and also ended up getting a mentee and mentor session done. This morning, I woke up early and was was ready to zoom in. We did some rolls, and mainly practiced stick and staff forms. I finished the rest of my requirements and took a quick nap as well. I am going to help my parents and clean...

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. I woke up pretty late, cleaned the car, finished off some homework, and started my requirements. I've recently been going on run's inside my house, pacing back and forth throughout my hallway due to the extremes of the weather. One day it's raining like crazy, the next day it's burning outside, and the next is followed by cold winds and breezes. Today, I am getting ready to go to school and have a lot of work put up for me later today. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! I haven't had time to write my journal for a while now and have a lot of tracking to update on the website. Last week, we headed to NYC and moved my brother in for college. I got a bunch of miles in during my time at NY, which is awesome, but my legs are dying for a break. Today, I am planning on helping my parents clean the house and finish up some essays. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! For some reason my journals don’t go through on certain days, which is definitely weird, but hopefully this one works. On Monday, it was my brother’s last official day working at TKD before going off to college. It was definitely hard that it was his last day, but he will be back in December. I realized that my life is honestly going to change a lot after my brother moves away, which is honestly pretty crazy. Yesterday, I went to school and finished my requirements for the day with ease. Have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon, everyone! I've been slacking on my journals for a while and realized that I haven't tracked on the website in a long time. My first week of high school was definitely different compared to what I thought it was going to be like, but it wasn't bad at all. I have a class in a few minutes and will start writing my lengthy journals like they used to soon. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. I thought I wrote my journal yesterday, but I guess it didn’t go through. I am currently waiting for my bus outside. The requirements seem to be getting easier day by day. See you guys at sparring later today! Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! I forgot to log yesterday and the day before due to quite a busy schedule. Yesterday was a nice day. It was my brothers birthday yesterday and we took 2nd and higher class together. Today is my first day of high school and I am currently waiting on my bus to arrive. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice but long day. I went to TKD, helped out with summer camp and Little Tigers, and then took both rolls and falls and Black Belt class(es). Today, I woke up and found myself on the ground. I got ready for class in the morning and honestly felt really sore. Class was nice today since we focused a lot on kicks, poomsaes, and self-defense. I came back home, took a shower, and started finishing my requirements. We might go out to the temple later in the afternoon today. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a rainy day. I was hoping to head to TKD yesterday for sparring class, but wasn’t able to due to the rain. I know that I am behind on those so I definitely have to start back up on those. Today, I headed to TKD in the morning and helped out with summer camp. I was with Group 1 today and it was a nice, fun day overall. Group 1 always tends to have a lot of energy, making it fun to always energize them with something. After camp, I helped out with Little Tigers and headed straight into rolls and falls class, as well as Black Belt Class. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. After finishing my requirements, my mom, my brother and I went to open house. It was nice going with my brother since I basically got a whole tour of the school without panicking about where everything was. I met mostly all of my teachers, and they all seemed super nice. I am looking forward to my first year in high school because I feel like it's a new start. Today, I woke up to the rain clashing and honestly felt the walls shaking a bit, which makes me a little nervous. Hopefully, the rain stops and the power doesn't go out because I am really hoping to go to sparring today. I have a lot to do today and will finish my requirements sometime soon. Have a wonderful day! 

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice yet long day. I went to Tae Kwon Do, helped out with a little bit of summer camp, and then classes. Today, I woke up really late because I am trying to make the most of the summer I have, but I know I should be waking up early due to the fact my bus gets here at 6–6:15. I started writing about my personal growth and development essay in TKD and honestly realized the difference from how I used to train and teach to now. To me, Tae Kwon Do is about learning the curriculum but also having fun while learning it, especially for the younger kids. I always like to have fun, but it's important that you stay on task. Besides that, I am going to my open house later today and am about to do my requirements. Have a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. I went to TKD later in the afternoon, helped out with summer camp for a bit, and then helped with the classes like normal. I got a mentee session in and also took 2nd higher class. By that class, I was exhausted and not as focused as normal. I had a lot of fun in that class since we worked on hapkidos and techniques. Today, I went to Tae Kwon Do and helped out with summer camp and classes. I got a mentor and mentee session today, which was great. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. Overall, I met all my requirements yesterday, and the other half of the day was spent cleaning the house. It always happens to be in my house when you lose something, and you end up finding everything else that you lost except the actual thing you need. I am trying to knock out essays before hand so that I don't have to worry about them next cycle or in the school year. This morning, I went back to school to return my computer and just came back. I am planning on going to TKD today and am hoping my book is still there. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a better day. I am feeling much better than I was earlier and finished many requirements and parts of my essays yesterday. I started on my 7-hand techniques of Tae Kwon Do yesterday and also completed a 12-hour period with electronics. Surprisingly, the challenge was not as hard as I thought it would be, and I actually did well. Today, I am planning to finish requirements, and tomorrow I have to get my book from Tae Kwon Do. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was tiring. My body hurts like crazy, so I decided not to take class. Today, when I woke up, it got even worse, so I decided to stay home. I do not want to get behind on my requirements, so I'm taking it slow, one by one, each day. I am planning on doing my essays in the meantime as I recover. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a tiring day. I didn't feel the best yesterday, so I decided to keep it easy on my requirements for the day. I only ran 1 mile and did the normal amount stated per the book. I went to sleep early, hoping today I would feel better, but I was wrong. My core is killing me, and I've had the worst headache since yesterday night. I wanted to go to sparring today but doubted it based on my body. I am planning to take a rest and leave it super easy today. Have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. We went to TKD and helped out with classes. After I came back from the dojang, I was exhausted. This morning, I woke up and didn’t feel too great so I decided to keep it relaxed today. Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow before going to sparring. Have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. I wasn't able to go to Tae Kwon Do yesterday since I had a few more things to edit on my final exam. After finishing my exam, me and my parents went shopping and got a few things. I was able to finish my requirements before my brother came home from class. I can officially say I have finished my civics course!! I am very happy with the work I put in and super excited since today was my actual first day of summer. Today, we headed over to TKD, helped out with summer camp for a bit, and then helped out with the classes. The classes went well, and I got leadership credits and a mentee session. I also finished my requirements for the day and did some during class with the kids as well. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. After I got the majority of my exam done, I decided to leave it and catch up on requirements instead. Today, I woke up to find out that it's going to be raining all day today (again), so I went running inside my house for about 30 minutes to make up time. I am currently fixing the minor details to my exam and will submit it before I head over to TKD this afternoon. I am hoping to get a mentor and mentee session today and will take 2nd and higher class. My arms are getting more sore by the day, so I hope my body can get used to it soon. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. After coming back from TKD, I finished all of my civics assignments. Later in the afternoon, we went shopping and got a few things from the store. Today, I am hoping to start the exam and complete this course. This morning, I made up all my requirements from yesterday and hope to finish today's later in the afternoon. I think today is going to be more of a relaxed requirement day because I've already finished yesterday's this morning. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. I went to help out with summer camp early in the morning and basically stayed there all day. After summer camp, I changed and helped out with little tigers. I took rolls and falls class, followed by black belt class. We worked on our belt specials, and I finally had the chance to learn number 5 of it. Master Chelley helped a lot with it, since she helped me learn the attacks as well. I also had a mentor session with Master Natasya and she helped me with the minor mistakes. Today, I woke up pretty early and headed to black belt class. We zoomed in and had a great class. We also worked on sinnualies today, which was awesome because it's been a while since I've done those. I am about to finish my assignments for civics. Week 2 is already over!...

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. After finishing my requirements and a lot of my assignments, I played a game with my mom and my brother. After that, the rest of the day was easy and simple and we just rested. Today, I woke up pretty early and have already gone on my run. I am about to go take a shower and soon head over for summer camp. After summer camp, I am hoping to take the rolls and falls class, followed by Black Belt class. Hopefully, I can get a mentor or mentee session today since I have a lot to work on. I am hoping to finish my requirements and civics assignments after I come back. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a great day. I finished off a lot of my civics assignments, and I am finally on the last module! Yesterday was also my dad's birthday and we had a lot fun yesterday. His form of fun is to sleep and me, my mom, and my brother to give him a massage. After that, I finished my requirements, and we decided to stay at home instead. Today, I woke up pretty late and my goal for today is to finish all the assignments for my civics class. I really hope my schedule for school comes in today, because it's been getting delayed. After I finish most/all of my assignments, I will meet my requirements. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a good day. My requirements are starting to build on me again, and sometimes I feel so sore that it's just numb at that point. I am starting to focus more on the technique and form of my requirements than just knowing them. After finishing only 2 of my civics course assignments, I headed to TKD. As usual, I helped out with summer camp, and then classes started. On my way back home, my brother loves to do random things in the car, and we had a lot of fun with that. Today, I woke up pretty early, and I'm about to start finishing my civics assignments. I'm going to say I will never take an online course again, but I'll probably end up taking one. Later today, we will probably go out since it's my dad's birthday, and I will finish my requirements sometime today....

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a good day. After finishing most of my requirements, I went to TKD. I helped out with summer camp for a bit, and then classes started. Sometimes the classes seem to go by so quickly, which surprises me at times. I got a mentor session in yesterday with Master Natasya and got in a weekly black belt class. I had a lot of fun in the 2nd and higher class, since I finally learned number 6 of the 3rd Dan 1-Step. Today, I woke up around 5:15, but I decided to stay in bed until 6. I came downstairs and started finishing my civics assignments for today and yesterday, since I only had time to finish 2. Hopefully, I can finish my assignments and requirements before I head to TKD today. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! This morning, I woke up and am currently writing this. This week, I am planning to take it slow and relax for my requirements since this is the last week I am taking my civics course. Even though that course was something, I am glad I pushed through it and never gave up on it. I am going to head to TKD in the afternoon to help out with summer camp for a little, and then help out with the classes. Have a wonderful day!

Good afternoon, everyone! I've been so busy and tired after pre-test, as my body is completely sore. I am very happy with how I did during my pre-test and will continue to get better throughout the cycle. I am about to take a class and head to sleep soon. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was quite a long day. I finished my requirements quite early in the morning, and then finished my assignments. Today, I am about to head to Tae Kwon Do and help out with summer camp and take class later in the evening. There’s only one more day till pretest!! Have a wonderful day everyone!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. After finishing my requirements, my friend came over and we hung out for awhile. We went for a walk, and then ended up at her house. It was a lot of fun. After that, I came home and had dinner when my brother's friends came. Today, I woke up an hour ago, but my body is begging me to go back to sleep. I am planning on mainly focusing on my civics class today and then knocking out my requirements because there is a final coming up that is 25% of our whole grade. The pre-test is in 2 more days!! Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice, long day. After finishing a few of my requirements, we headed over to Tae Kwon Do. I helped out with summer camp for a little, and then classes started. The classes were really nice, and I even got a mentor session, which was awesome. Today, I am planning on finishing my assignments for civics first and then my requirements because I have some friends coming over today. I am going to keep on focusing on my 3rd dan curriculum and my preps because I mostly have everything else down. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a great day. I got my requirements done before heading to Tae Kwon Do. I helped out with summer camp for a bit, then classes started. I always love helping out in classes because it's always cool to see the uniqueness of each individual. After helping out, I got both my mentor and mentee sessions in. Master Natasya told me to focus more on my preps since I have the forms down. After that, I took a second and higher class, which I really enjoyed. We did a few old hapkido moves, and then we moved on our belt self-defense. Today, I have a few more assignments to do for my civics class, and later I will head to TKD. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was very tiring. I didn't think that getting back into the cycle with requirements was going to be that hard, but I was wrong. My arms are sore, and my core is aching from the number of push-ups, sit-ups, burpees, and pull-ups I've done. I am looking forward to today, as I have a lot of things planned this afternoon at TKD. I am hoping I will be able to do my mentor and mentee sessions today, but we will see how it turns out. I am planning on completing my requirements in a few, after I finish a few assignments from a class I'm taking. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! Even though it's only day 2 of the cycle, my body is already is starting to feel sore. Yesterday was a long day. I started my 30-day challenge, which is limiting sweets. This is pretty hard for me because I have a really big sweet tooth, but I keep reminding myself to stay focused. After finishing my requirements, we went to the temple and came home late. I just woke up and started writing this. I am planning on doing my requirements in a bit. This cycle is definitely different than the rest since the curriculum has changed and I am not used to doing everything by time yet. Have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone! As of today, the cycle has officially started. I am super excited to officially start training to become a master. Today, I woke up and went to black belt class. We mainly focused on color belt curriculum, which was great because Master Chelley wanted to make sure we had our basics down. I got a lot of requirements done during class and will finish the rest today soon. We are planning on heading out today. Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning. Yesterday was a really long and tiring day. I had classes right after school and then went to sparring class. Before sparring class I worked with Master Marcus on my rolls and falls. Last year when I started my first BB cycle I was struggling with my rolls and falls and I have come a long way now. Sparring was tiring. I came home and watched Jeopardy. Ken won the Second time. He needs one more win to take the $1 Million dollars. Getting ready to school and then classes in the evening. Have a good day!

Good Morning everyone. Yesterday was another long day. Came back home at 8.15pm and went to watch the Greatest of All Times Jeopardy Tournament Of Champions. Yay!!! James won the Day 2 games and I was very happy. Another long day today with back to back classes and I will be back only around 8pm again. Heading to the bus stop now. I have my Reading benchmark today! Good Day!

Yesterday was a long day. Came back from school and had to go to my other classes. We came back and the Greatest of all times Tournament of Champions Jeopardy started. I watched it thru 8.45pm and then slept off in the couch as i was very tired. I woke up to find that Ken beat James by $200 to win Game 1. I really hope James wins the second one. I am now getting ready to leave to school. I have another long day ahead of me. Good Day.

Good Morning everyone. Yesterday was a great day and fun day. I did most of my requirements during my PE. I also did Leadership 1, 2 and my mentee session yesterday. My benchmark tests are this Thursday and Friday.  I am super excited for the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions tonight. Heading to school. See you all soon!

Yesterday was a great day. I finished all my requirements in the morning. My brothers friends came over to play. They are non-identical twins. We had a great time. This morning school starts. I woke up early and got in a few requirements and now heading out to school. Have a great day!

Yesterday was a great day. We went for Black Belt class. It was a big class and mostly Masters and Instructors. Master Chelley asked me to lead the warm ups. I was a little nervous to start when I saw the first row full of adults and big people. I am probably one of the youngest in that class. It felt good to lead the warm ups and after the first few seconds I was back to normal. I finished all my requirements. My dad watched football all day!

It has been raining all day yesterday. I could not go out for a run. Went to Black Belt class and it was fun. I finished all my requirements except running. When we came back home we watched Jeopardy. Next week is going to be the Tournament of Champions where the 3 best players from the last decade are going to compete. My parents are super excited to see that. I know the guy James from Las Vegas who I think will win. See you all in the morning at Black Belt Class. Have a good day!

Yesterday was another good day. Master Marcus made us do a lot of kicks and combinations in sparring class yesterday. My legs are sore and my back hurts like crazy. But it feels good to get those sparring rounds in. Even my brother was exhausted yesterday which never happens. I had finished all my requirements in the morning itself except for my sparring rounds. Thank GOD i did not do it in the morning. I would'nt have been able to walk after class if I did that. Have a good day!

Yesterday was another good day. My brother and I ran 2 miles. It was getting colder in the evening so we ran late in the afternoon. After our run we played Basketball and a game called Horse. I finished all my requirements and we also watched the Dog show competition. It was fun to see all the different kinds and breeds of dogs. I never knew there were so many. My grand uncle also left early as he was not feeling good. This morning I woke up early as usual and started working on my requirements. I am going to have breakfast now and have a long day of classes ahead of me. Have a good day!

Happy New Year everyone. Yesterday was a good day. My brother and I went to our favorite store which is Barnes and Nobles. We picked up a few books and as soon as we came back we started reading our books. My brother and I went for a 2 mile run in the evening. It was getting colder as we finished our run. We came back and watched some TV. My brother always wants to stay up for New Years eve and eventually falls asleep before midnight. The same happened yesterday as well. There was a lot of fireworks in our neighborhood which went past midnight I think. Have a good day and good year.

Its New Years Eve today!!! A new year and new decade begins tomorrow. Yesterday was a good day. The weather was great. My brother and I went for a run in the afternoon. I finished all my requirements as well and watched TV in the evening. Have a nice day!

Yesterday was an ok day. After I finished my requirements in the morning I was feeling bored and my dad fixed my boring problem by asking me to do the Empathy Challenge. I chose to be mute like last time and thought it would be easier this time but it wasnt at all. My brother kept irritating me all day trying to make me talk but somehow I managed not to react to what he was doing. I finally finished the challenge at 9pm and was so glad and thankful that I could go back to talking. It is a humbling experience to step into somebody else's shoes to see what they go through everyday with this disability. I am up early this morning and done with most of my requirements. My dad called me to write this journal. Have a good day!

Yesterday was a good day. I finished all my requirements and then watched the movie Sing with my family. My grand uncle has never seen this movie before and therefore we all watched it together. This morning it has been raining and I am hoping for the rain to stop so that my brother and I can go out for our 1.5mile run. 2 more days before 2020.

I was not able to write my journal yesterday as i was very tired. My brother and I have been running 1.5 miles every day as the weather has been great. I have been doing my requirements and also watching a lot of TV. I am also done with my assignments. Hope everyone is having a good time.

Yesterday was a great day. I finished my requirements during the day. In the evening i wanted to run but i had cold. My dad said that it is ok not to run with the cold. I am feeling better today but would definitely like to run. We are planning to go to Barnes and Nobles this evening to pick up some books and i also need to get my free birthday cookie as well. Have a good day everyone!

Today is Christmas!!!! Merry Christmas everyone. I woke up early and working on my requirements. My dad said that it is going to be warm this afternoon and my brother and i will go for a run outside again today. 

I have been working on my assignment since morning. My brother and I went out for a run. The weather was really great. I am just finishing my requirements. Merry Christmas everyone!

Today has been a good day so far. I finished all my requirements in the morning as I am getting ready to pick up my grand uncle from the airport shortly. Yesterday my brother and I ran a mile and I am hoping to run today.

Today has been a good day. I have been working on my assignments and will be doing my requirements as well. Hopefully I am done earlier so that i can watch TV. My grand uncle is coming from Canada tomorrow and will be with us for a couple of weeks. He visits us every summer and winter. He lives in Montreal. Earlier this month i competed in my first spelling bee. I won my class bee and came in the top 6 in school. It was good for a first time and i hope i can go all the way next year.

I am super excited for my next cycle. I have been working very hard for the past year and learning new stuff. Today marks the official start of this BB cycle. I am going to work harder this cycle. Good luck everybody!

I survived the overnight and public testing. Very glad to be part of this black belt cycle. I am very thankful to each and everyone one of you and all my Masters, Instructors and friends who cheered me and have been encouraging me throughout this cycle. I have a few things which I need to work before I get ready for next cycle and i will take this time to work on these. Great job everyone!!!!!!!!

I have not journaled for a while. I have been working hard on my requirements. I have a lot of assignments today and staying home to finish them. 

Its been a long week and I have been working very hard on my assignments. I also finished all my requirements and I am extremely tired. Tomorrow is Monday and we have school. I need to eat dinner and then go to bed.
