today I got to do my first seminar with guru Melegrito. He was pretty nice in person & I got to use a knife (fake). I as pretty exited because this was my first seminar & I had a great expirience. He also gave some life tips which was nice. It was fun.
Today I got Chinese food. Chinese food has been known to cause headaches related to msg. Msg is a compound found naturally & is known for umami flavor. You can buy it as a powder & add it like salt to any dish. Ironically enough the Chinese food I bought was msg free.
Today is weird. Today we have a day many regaurd with reverence. That reverence is not shared with the younger generation for the reason of overexposure to it. Th exposure downplays it & due to the time gap with the exposure it's become less taboo. I learned about this in ap gov as a part of political socialization & life events.
I got work on hapkido 4 today & I am excited. I have never had great experience flipping people, but my mentor & this form helped me learn the very valuable skill. I hope to use this in most of my self-defense & just whatever else I need. That's all for today.
Today I get to go driving with my dad. That's fun. I like the fact that cars are machines & not living organisms as sugested by the movie cars. Cars is beloved for it's message & characters with everything summating to a climax where the hero learns humility & is rewarded for it.
The thing about the cycle is that it has 4 weeks left. If you want to catch up you need to be better. On an unrelated note I am happy that soon I don't have to stay up late & wake up so early & I get to "Rank up" as I belive the children are saying nowadays.
My second band competition of the year, down. We did so much better than last week & we actually won the football game, that dosen't mean I support the team but I am proud of our school. Our band has been doing great this Year & I think we'll be able to win the grand chamionship.
Today I got to make garlic bread because I had a leftover baguette. The mixture was created in a food processor & baked on the bread for 7 minutes without cheese & 3 minutes with. The cheese & garlic toasted & everybody liked the final product. Garlic bread is just one of the simple things everybody likes.
Tomorow is the day I have band & band camp again. Band camp is always fun to be in but can be physically demanding. That part is ok but instrumentation can be terrible sometimes because you not only have to march, but you also have to play at the same time.
Garlic bread is a food that people like for its flavor. The thing about garlic is that it has a high amount of sugar, so it caramelizes under heat. This is known as the Maillard reaction. Without it bread wouldn't be brown, cooking would be completely different & caramelized onion would be a myth.
My first football game was today. The team lost 6-22 which sucks, but we had a really good first marching of our music. The music we played is great & we won a battle against the other marching band. they slept when we played so we did the same & played the best music. We also had a football player say that we were the reason they lost & we are all spiteful.
Tomorow is a football game & as such me & the rest of the band will be there. I recentley learned I am extremley posotive. This is useful to keep things normal as states of disarray only lead to a changing opinnion. I vote malevolence should be added as an emotion in peoples minds.
I love the fact that freinds work together. You can ask them stuff almost as a gestalt conciousness or hivemind. They are inhernently interesting due to their nature of assimilation. This adds to the existing knowledge base making everybody smarter. It would be funny to see this in the real world.
I got to see my bday classes today. I have a new math teacher & I learned about significant digits. significant digits are just digits that actually contribute to the percission of the number. so you can remove the 0.01 & change it to .01 instead which is obviously the most logical choice.
Today was the first day of school & I am ready to sleep today, finally. sleep is funny to me because your brain controls it but you rarely have any control. Control is something I like because of the feeling you get & the safety it supplies to people. that's why I love it.
tomorow is the first day of school. I have my supplies & everything else I would need. I am exited because I get to have new classes. I am going to be a softmore this year. I have nine classes & am taking advanced math. I'm going to have to sleep at 9:30 because I need sleep.
this is it. the weekend before school. I unfortunatley have to shuffle my classes because I am being forced to take chem & physics at the same time I do like math so i'll probably enjoy the course rigor, however I just wish I had more of a say in this fact.
the cycle is almost half way done, it has been grueling but has gone well so far. The cycle was designed to be harsh but fair. Stick to your steps & you'll be fine. This is good because simple steps make habbits when repeated enough & this sets you up to take a more active role in anything you do.
Comedy is always about subverting expectations. as someone who is semi-unpredictable I often come funny. I like that about me as I don't have to try & can just be myself & still be liked & be sociable. This is a small problem because it leaves me vunerable to be made fun of, but I think I'm managing that well.
Something I admire about testing is the ideas you try when testing. One example of this is fogbank which is used in thermonuclear warheads & based on what we know it's probably made of areo-gel based on what we know. This is more common than you think. DARPA's inventions are everywhere from siri to the internet itself.
tipping culture exists because of sobriety movments. The sobriety movments that led to prohabition led to resturants losing revenue. This is a problem because servers still need to eat. So people were encouraged to tip to save resturaunt owners from paying people livable wages. Now you see what I meant.
today has been interesting. I got into an argument over washing clothes for some reason. I also found out that my friend lives 3 miles away from me & we have never met before school. Sometimes things get lost over time & I don't like it. in all fairness I have a tendancy to hoard things so I should just let it go.
We have a new dlc for postal: brain damaged which is nice. I had a converstaion about skyrim today. I have a new idea for what i'm gonna do with my fo4 instalation & i'm gonna make the game run better. excues the grammar & spelling i am terribly sleep deprived. have a nice day.
The world is garbage- Andre Baugher. This is a quote from Captain Holt from Brooklyn nine-nine. It's right depending on where you look. All around the place you see terrible people like arsonists & liars. Obviously you can also see good people, like the people that give you water if you ask or who help you on a bad day.
There's a theory that you are 10 people away from anybody in the world. they tested this once but the results showed that it's actually closer to 6 people. This is cool because it just shows the extent of human connection. As such I am 6 people (on average) away from knowing Bernie Sanders.
Half life is a game about science. Many of you know you play as a theoretical physicist, but it's not about the theming but instead the gameplay. As you play you constantly use the tools at your disposal to choose the best course of action based on the enemies & tactics.
today was interesting. I got to go to a session which was nice. I wanted it to be just me but my parrents & sister were there. I could have told everything but instead I allowed them to talk. I could have contextualized, but that's for one on one sessions. someday I will do that.
Band camp is fun so far. I get to march & try the new music which has grown on me. in terms of the cycle, not much has happened. If the weather is good I get to march at a normal pace so I don't stay inside for no good reason.
relationships are complicated. like anything they are multifacited, multidimentional, consepts that take up room in your brain. it's anoying because you crave the relationships but they take work & sometimes lots of work. the beauty comes from the progress. the way you change you impart on each other & the memories you create.
today was the first day of band camp. Our music can be good together but out individual section is repeatative for the clarinets. Together our parts are just repitions with some breaks in them. The song is called "chorale and alleluia" and is from the 1960's for some reason.
T3he day after the pretest. It went fairly well & I'm confident for the final test. I also now have a better handle on stick form which is useful. I also have band camp coming up soon so I get to see everybody back. I hope your weekends are going well.
not much has hapened today, but I did go see a movie. I watched it with my sister & it was nice but as a remake it needed work. It had all the same themes of the original movie but decided not to add anything substantive whatsoever. This is a problem.
help is a broad thing. It comes in many forms. From strangers on the street to workers there for you. Sometimes I think we all feel like our heads are often underwater, in those times help is what gets you out. Remember that you're someone else's help, if you see someone under the surface, be their rock.
I'm nervous for saturday because of the pretest. This is going to be less packed than last cycle. from what I can tell maybe 12 - 15 people. I also love the fact that I get a signature for blackbelt class that day. This cycle has been rough but I've gotten through it.
today has been great. I got stuff finished & I get to see a doctor on tuesday. Side effect is that the pretest is this saturday & next week is band camp, luckily I'll still make all my classes. Band camp is going to be so much fun with all the new students & the new music.
Today I got to have a very normal day. The cycle has been hard but fair. This has been a blessing & a curse. on one hand the constancy of mentoring & leadership makes it easy. on the other it's hard to arrange poomsae & self defense in an ever changing world of events.
not much happens today but luckily, I got to make pasta for a party. I had to make 2 pounds of noodles & it went amazingly well. I got to use a wok that we have for some reason. I hope the pasta was well received at the party. that's all.
today I got with my mentor which was nice because she taught me about her experience on the cycle. She went to class with an operated knee & a torn foot. She is a great example of what the cycle encourages in terms of endurance & resilience. I aspire to show similar skills to her.
Do you ever get the feeling that when you hear something you know a lot about to share everything. This happened to me recently because of the Instagram algorithm. I heard a sped-up version of demo 4 of the mind electric. The song is iconic & you've probably heard it at some point.
Knife sharpeners. I need some. the thing most people don't realize about knives is that the duller they are the more a danger they are, this is because you put more pressure on a dull knife when cutting things. Knives are tools above anything else & keeping them sharp is the best thing for them & you.
The problem with replacing old stuff is the acecorization problem. The problem can be seen in events like changes. When apple replaced all lighting ports with usb-c this caused the problem of the accessories becoming obsolete & as such the people who invested in lightning accecories to be reluctant to switch over.
If I had a nickels for every time this summer I had to go up a mountain, I would have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice. I know what's taking up my time today. I have to spend hours in a car with my family.
The thing about sleep is that without it your brain won't work. Without it you gain things like irrational thinking, anxiety,& paranoia in extreme cases. Sleep is something I need to commit to more because my general schedule is terrible. Luckily with enough of a routine it becomes easier to sleep over time.
sometimes life is like a telenovela. There's some stupid drama that takes up most of the episode mixed with callbacks from 3 seasons ago. There's some random side plot leading to some development that's barley relevant. There's dramatic reveal after dramatic reveal with brash action taking center stage. In short... hectic.
today like normal has been uneventful. I do have plans for tomorrow though which could be interesting. The cycle so far has been fairly simple, but requirements will be ramping up. Postal 2 redux is coming out which is nice. I am excited for today because I have sparring class.
today has been ... interesting. I took a nap which I never do. The nap was roughly an hour in length. I also have this as the second day of this week & the 4th of the cycle. The pretest is in 18 days. I hope it goes well & I would like to see how many others there are this time.
a new day. This is a new cycle & I feel good about this. A new chance to earn a belt. My experience of the last cycle should be of use & luckily not much has changed other than the amount of time I can allot. This should be simpler from my vantage of hindsight.
today is the day. I had to sit in a meeting about my math skills. It was not fun. Today I got to make pasta for me & my sister. I think that pass or fail I will come out of this cycle stronger & better than before. In any case this is my goodbye. bye! & thank you for reading my journey.
today has been funny because we have a new record temp & high uv. UV radiation is funny because it's all just gamma decay from the sun. it shows how the electromagnetic force works with photons in valence shells. Gamma decay is what happens when electrons move from a high shell to a low shell & release a high charged photon.
I got a new book today. it's about life lived diffrentley in a mind that dosen't comprehend the same way as most people. It's very funny probably because it's from a commedian. it's interesting to hear his perspective on the world around him & how her reacts to it. I like it.
today was a great monday! today I did my tkd & worked on my idea for my comp sci class. my idea is to make a torreting software what uses libtorrent for the torrents & gtk for the ui. this project will be written in c++ & will take some time but I think it's be worthwhile
Today was holi. holi is a festival many hindus celebrate where we throw collered powder & water on each other. My taekwando was normal today. I like how the communities of people can work to make something together that stands trials & tribulations for the goal of their shared passions. I hope to be a part of one of those someday
I am writing this late because I had homework. I have been called brutal with my self defense which is amazing as a compliment. The thing with game engine is that you can write any game we like with the tools given like the process function, the thinking system, & the do function.
Today was interesting because my school did the act & I did nothing all day. The act is required in the state of north carolina. The test is for collage admissions to know where you stand acedemicly. Due to my age I will have to take the test in 2 years, but I look forward to it.
I don't like having allergies. Allergies are you bodies response to things it thinks are dangerous but aren't like pollen or cinnamon. You act sick & feel terrible but aren't & you aren't a hazard. I also did my taekwando but with allergies. That's all I did today other than school. Also my 11th grade classmates are taking the sat.
today is pretty good. I get to return to school tomorrow & see my friends. I did all my tkd like normal & will be practicing for my retest. A guy in Denmark made a 1 trillion dollar petition for buying California. He plans to send the best negotionators in Denmark(the Lego executives) to set a price.
The news is crazy nowadays. today we had our physical & written test. I also get to listen to true crime on Saturdays. I love the good place because of moral philosophy & ethics & because of the characters, they all feel realistically human in a way that makes you relate to them. the show appeals to our humanity as people who when contemplating the questions of the universe can’t understand. it’s weird because humans don’t always understand other humans. It’s confusing.
Today was rough, because of the cycle. Today was fun though because today is Friday. The weekend had endorsement from labor unions & Jewish activists. Henery Ford gave them the Saturday off for capitalistic purposes. Inspite being a massive supporter of antisemitism he gave the day off so phis workers. would buy more of his cars.
Today my dad had to leave for Dallas. I got a new computer from my school & it's touchscreen. The problem is that if I touch it too much it smudges, Luckilly a microfiber cloth can help. It's funny how even when there is writing firmly on the wall some choose to deny.
Saturday is the physical testing day. I like that programing languages are diffrent from one another but they can do each others jobs. You can use any language to program a game, a website, or anything else. All it takes in knowhow & transpilation. This is the reason why I love computers.
I have no school . It sounds fun but I would have a band concert today. My problem is that this would be a fun day. The fun day would begin with a trip to hawethornes for pasta. Then get there in all black before 6 & play my clarinet. I love the other people preforming like orchestra & chrous who all do amazing & I will miss not meeting them because I have freinds there.
I almost didn't get to do this. I have to thank my parents for this. We had 2 new people in class named Indiana & Christian. I like how there are always people who love & support you. They would pay life & limb to see you win. I forget all they do for me & I owe them more than money can buy. Thank You & sorry
Today is largely uneventful. My family is at a birthday party. Do you ever just have plans that go terribly wrong. I have so many that end terribly for several reasons. Some of them are due to external circumstances. Others are due to my own terrible time management skills. This day was still fun.
Today was instructors camp. I got a certificate & met people I love spending time with. Today was fun except I kept falling asleep due to lack of sleep. I did’t see master knight because he went to Disney land. I will have to see him later.
I am going to be a t instructors camp. This will be fun. I like how in this world you can find everything. It's generally easy. I did my taekwando for today & I will be going to sleep early. People can be mad for the dumbest reasons sometimes. When they refuse to listen to reason or empathize it's hard but luckily you can always find an escape wherever you go. Hobbies, friend, & math is how I fill my time. How do you fill yours?
Today was odd. I did my practice but due to unusual cricumstances I was forced to go to the lake norman location which is quite far. When I got there it turned out they were testing so we had to go back got home in the dark. We should have called.
I enjoy the fact that chemical reactions are easy to learn. We have managed to have widespread knowledge of so much useful information like sodium hydroxide & alkalization. or the Millard reaction which makes food brom under heat. & of course the reaction to make spinach less bitter by adding lemon juice.
Fallout 3 is the most interesting in the franchise because of all of it's problems. Fallout 1 & 2 are good games. new vegas is the best fallout game ever. fallout 4 has the best gameplay. fallout 76 is just kind of meh. Fallout 3 is the worst because of the way that it adapts everything is done terribly, the story makes no sense,& the characters are boring.
I missed another day somehow. I am logging this right before I go on a run. The game fallout new vegas has 4 dlc's. Dead Money has you in a survival horror bank hiest where get to steal tons of money. Honest hearts is tribal warfare. Old World Blues is a homage to 1950's sci-fi. Lonesome road is a cathartic end to the players journey.
I got to go to the other school today. I got to see master foster. The last person to see is master knight. I enjoy the way that people light up when they see something they love. When you see something you like you release oxytocin & other neurotransmitters. This can be released in many ways.
2/5ths of the way through the journals! We are getting closer & I am happy for that. There are many great ways to use a computer but the only problem is which operating system to use. Mac fits nice in a walled garden. Windows is always farmiliar. Linux is free & open source. all are good options.
I have started my dietary chalange by doing the dash diet. Today has been fun due to not having school or tkd. I still obviously had virtual work but it wasn't that bad. Tomorow I have a 2 hour delay for school which is bad. This week is nearly over.
I do not enjoy how everybody nags at me. I unfortunately have to deal with 3 of these people because they all think I can do what they want when they want to. If they had an iota of understanding for how I feel they would see that I just need time to plan the way I like. The way I like has me chunking & giving breaks. Also apparently I'm supposed to know everything about what they want. They leave my sister the spinnach on the counter & she knows to cut it, but that seems highly illogical because maybe you don't want cut spinach or maybe it went bad or maybe you're about to use it. so why would it make sense to cut the spinach shen you see it on the counter instead of just telling me.
today has been funny. the problem is that I had shortened class because of testing on wednesday. I enjoy the knowledge that frauds are found out. Because when they are it always leads to something better. My problem is that it's easy to become a fraud. Famous frauds include Andrew Wakefield(Caused the anti-vaxx & Vaccines cause autism movment), Victor Lusting(sold the eifile tower), & Melissa Caddick(ponzi schemes)
I am terrible at bieng creative. I am doing good in the cycle & now I have to get to work on branching out. The cycle has proven as expected, difficult but fair. the next thing I have to work on is getting a protoge. so I'll work on that. bye!
I got to relax, Finally. Today I had black belt class & then I was free so I did that & had my fun. I now sit writing this after a day spent relaxing & playing video games. I haven't gotten a chance to relax all week so I am very satisfied. The only thing to make this better is if I could bake stuff.
valentines day! Valentines day is well known for sucking for singles but today was actually fun. I listened to bad love songs on repeat, watching my friends with significant others, & ran to class. If I ever had the chance to do valentines day I would spend time with the person drink coffee with the person, listen to bad music with them, have food with them, & eat cake in bed with them. idk what people do on valentines day.
I am late again & can't afford to be. Today is fun but I had 2 classes yestarday. today we will have house guests who I enjoy having. We are going to have pav bajhi. pav bajhi is vegetables with spices ground together & served with toasted bread rolls. This will be fun
Today has been good. Tomorow I have bio & ela. I was able to my taekwondo easily today & tomorow I have something new planned. I also notice that it has been raining alot which makes getting out of bed hard because would you rather be in a cold room or in a warm bed? I hope tomorow will be exiting.
I am officially sick but that won't stop me. today I have to run 4 miles which took 50 mina to run but was still quite fun. I spent most of today watching tv because I was bored. Luckily monday is tomorow so I get to see my freinds. Today was fun.
I feel sick today & it will probably get worse. but I have good news today because I'm going to optimist hall with my family. Today I had to to my taekwondo which is 2 miles of running, my saturday blackbelt class, & my normal practice. I eventually got done with practice at 6 pm & me & my family went to optimist hall. We got dumplings, paneer kebabs, vegan ramen, chicken wrap,& pizza. it was fun.
this is my 10th journal & I am 1/5 of the way through. Today was normal for school but there was something new in band. In band a senior had to direct because our director was out at county band with a few other students. We had a short class so for the last 30 mins We got to relax.
Today has been weird. due to my grandmother living with us for 6 months I will now used a bathroom that will be in the basement. It's only temporary for 6 months so that is good. Today I had my first math quiz of the year & I got a 28/30 so I understand it well. from what I can tell our next math book with be unit 3/4 & cover geometrey.
Today I was able to relax because of the fact I had no pe today. Today my dad comes home from Raleigh from work training. I did all of my tkd for today back to back so I was very tired before we left. when my dad got home he brought a cup of m&ms & chocolate covered pretzels. it was a good day
Today is the last day before Monday. I have to run 3 miles which I did in 30 minutes. I enjoy the running because I have an iPod which as a 32-bit device can handle 2 tb of storage. The news is crazy with cutbacks & measures across the board due to the president.
today is Saturday. I did mt tkd & went on a 4-mile run. I had fun & listened to music on the way. I don't understand taxes because why would the government who knows what you own not tell you & companies make you pay for software to tell you how much you owe? that is all.
It is Friday so I get to go home & I have exiting things. My sister is going to her first rotc military ball with other schools. When I get home I am done with this week of the cycle so I am closer the last 2 things I need are a mentee & the dropbox link so I am nearly done!
I went home after today & did practice after school but changed up the order. I had fun at school but unfortunatley my math teacher will not be there. She left videos for us to do. My math class is looking very fun & I am exited to learn more. Have a nice day.
today I had to wait at the library till 3:30 so I got home at 4:00 & class was at 4:30 so I had to do practice between classes. I got a total of 5 signatures today for sparing, blackbelt class, 2 for helping in class, & 1 from my mentor. we did staff & stick form 1 as well as warang.
today it was a new semester, so I had a new 1st block which was math. My teacher is nice, and we are going to do work tomorrow because today was for getting to know each other. I then went home and as unable to go to taekwondo due to my mother's inexperience in driving. Instead, I did my work & did a mile long run. from there I did the rest of the work for my cycle. as if now, I have to take out the trash & take a shower soon.
It is the day before I might not be at school. on one hand I would be having fun at home. on the other hand, I would be away from my friends. I also want to do my midterms I am excited due to my midterms as I get to complete fun puzzles.
there was no school today due to snow which was fun to note. as such I stayed home. at home I made breakfast & lunch before heading to taekwondo class. the class was fun & it was the first class of the week. the week seems to be going well, I hope it is going well.
I had my AP Gov & English midterms. AP Gov was about the constitution, which is complex, but I remember most of the clauses. English is different because it is about how the text works & how it proves things & makes its points. I did well on both midterms which was good to hear.
I had my biology & my pe midterm. my pe midterm was fine but it was mostly just the thing we always did. Biology was fun because it was easy & simple. After I got home, me & my sister had a behind the wheel lesson with my dad. after that I had taekwando which was fun.
Today I took my ap computer science & band midterms. My band midterm was first & it went well. The band midterm was actually just us playing several scales, recording it, & posting it on canvas. I got an 85 because I had problems with my accidentals. My computer science midterm went well with me getting an 88, it was a fun test.
Today I woke up at 11 because today I had no school because it was a workday. I spent the day relaxing & spending time with my family after my parents got done with work. After that I cleaned the bathroom because there was dust. I did research on one person who I admire (possible essay topic). it was a mediocre day.
I woke up & went to my black belt class. After I got home, I did instrument class after for 1 hour. I then went & watched tv before I went & made lunch. in the evening, I took a nap before I did my taekwondo work. I began writing my essay on my dead hero before I went to sleep.
Today I woke up at 12 for my dad's birthday. we cut the cake & all had a piece. I went back to sleep & woke up at 8 am. I most memorable part of the day was going on a 3.5 mile run for the cycle which was fun. I then went home where I ate lunch. My parents then went to Costco to get my dad's birthday present (an iPad) for work. We also spent the day having fun & talking before we all went to sleep.
I woke up & got ready for school by getting my stuff & doing the dishes. I went to school & took my French III final. I stayed in that class the entire day & then went home. I relaxed & prepared for the weekend by getting all my clothes for laundry & doing the dishes.
Today we had school off due to snow days & midterm makeups. I woke up at 8 am & brushed my teeth before going downstairs & making breakfast of toast. I then wrote down my expected work time is week 3 of my journal. I headed to help with class at 5:50 & I helped with class. I then did my class at 6:40. I went home & prepared for school tomorrow. I then had dinner & went to bed.
