Today I was with my Uncle and we washed the Hampton Inn Hotel. It took us all day to finish. But it didn’t feel that long. But we had to get a boom lift to wash the higher parts of the hotel. And I got in it but we didn't go high. We washed the back first then the front. When we washed the front me and my little cousin’s job was to warn guests about the chemicals. But not a lot of people passed through the front. Sometimes it got hot but it rained very slightly twice. So it wasn’t that bad.

My least favorite part of the cycle is running. Like everyday I have to run. Like It will be better on the pre-test. But I run myself everyday. And after a while of doing that everyday with no break. Your legs start to hurt worse every time you run. But with the pre-test I have a lot of adrenaline. I try to run with Avery or Parker but they don’t go to Tae-kwon-do on my days. So it wouldn’t make sense for them to drive to Harrisburg park just to run. But we do have to run at least once this cycle.

Me and Avery started playing this game new to Xbox called Ready or Not. It’s a mission game with real life situations. And you have to carry out your missions. Or you fail. It's a very hard game to play. Me and Avery played that game for like 3 hours and only completed 2 missions. First mission we got a b rank. And that last one we did we got a c. Originally it was only on P.C but now it’s on Xbox. So it's going to be one of the main games we play.

Today was the best sparring class I ever went to. It was fun. Avery taught with a tiny bit of my help. We did two vs two sparring like team sparring. It was fun. And I sparred Conner and Parker. I haven't sparred with Parker in almost a year. The only thing I remembered was that he punches a lot. So I had to make sure I was out of a punching reach. But today was a pretty good day.

Today was a normal day except that I went to taekwondo. I don’t go to taekwondo on Tuesday and Thursday. Harrisburg has this hopkido class and PMA class. I went to it today. My first time by the way. It was different because both classes aren't my style. But it wasn't bad. I learned a lot of new things from both classes. I’m going to start going more often. But I can’t wait to spar tomorrow.

Today was a chill day. I got an essay done so I only have to do two more essays. I have a headache right now so I don’t know what to talk about. But I just ran a mile. And after this I'm going to go eat. Then take a shower and get on the game with Avery. Then watch AMP. I recommend whoever you are watching this to watch AMP. They're this popular Youtube/Twitch group and they're so funny. They are doing content in a summer house right now. They’ree really funny, you should check them out.

Today was a chill day. Not much happened today. I just ate and now watching tv with my mom. We're watching American ninja warrior. American ninja warrior is a show where people come and compete in obstacle courses. And the winner wins a million dollars. Today I ran a mile in under 10 minutes again. But when I was running it started to rain. So I was running in the rain. But I didn't mind because it kinda cooled me off.

Today was my last day of the digital detox. I woke up earlier so it could be done earlier. It was awful. It was worse today than it was yesterday. But now all that's done. I’m trying to hurry this up so I can play the game with Avery and Trent. So I'm in a time crunch. I ran a mile in less than 10 minutes. And my creative form is coming along pretty good. I have the first few moves and I’m sticking with them. But I don’t want any random form, I want it to have a theme. So I'm still thinking. But with everyone's input it will be amazing (with my flash ofc).

Today I started the digital detox. That's when you go without technology for two twelve hour periods. It is awful. This is  worse than the empathy training. It's so boring and quiet. As soon as I woke up I knew it was going to be a bad day. As soon as I woke up I ran a mile and a half outside. I ran it in under fifteen minutes. So if I keep this up I’m going to be able to run my three miles at the pre-test in under thirty minutes. Not looking for that track. But the rest of the day after that will be fun. This will be the first per-test that I can do with Parker and Avery.

Today is the start of our black belt cycle. I ran a mile for the first time in a long time today. I ran the mile at nine minutes on the dot. That surprised me for sure. Yesterday Master Foster and Trent came back from their mission from Handorous. They were gone for a week but it felt like forever. They look different to me when I saw Trent look a year older. And Master Foster looked five years younger. While they were gone I taught the Tuesday sparring class. It went really well. Even though they were gone it was a pretty good week.
