Diary of a Wimpy kid.

Today I went with my boyfriend to the Diary of a Wimpy kid musical. It was so good πŸ‘ Before that I went to black belt. Then my boyfriend picked me up and we went to red Robin and then an ice cream place with my boy friend and then went to the play. After I went to the play they dropped me off at my house. Me and my mom went to my grandparents house but my dad stayed home to relax 😌. At my grandparents house I ate the best chowder ever. I did a lot of drawing but we went home early to watch something with just my mom and dad πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§. Right know I'm watching raid the cage with my mom and dad. Then we might watch a movie or a another TV show. I know this journal today was not that interesting πŸ˜• SORRY ABOUT THAT!...

Today I started doing my new hobby/thing for black belt cycle. My new hobby is crocheting and it is SO HARD!( At least to me it is) So I decided to take a break and watch harry potter 6 ( the movie.) After that i got back to work. Then... I got so so far and thought I was doing great but my mom said we weren't doing it right and we had to start completely over after hours of work. IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT, TIME CONSUMING AND DEPRESSING !!! So I'm taking a break and doing my Journaling. I did not go out at all today not even stood outside... not yet at least. Hope I get better soon so I can still go to junior instructors camp!πŸ₯‹πŸ₯‹πŸ₯‹πŸ₯‹πŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ˜”

Boring

Today I woke up and watched tv then around 11 I did my black belt mile and other requirements then took a shower did piano, grit work book and then played on my tablet for a while. I didn't go outside at all today or out of the house, that's probably why it was pretty boring but not to bad I did get I late birthday present from my neighbor and went to say good bye to my neighbor that's moving. So I guess I did go outside... it wasn't really that boring just a chill indoor day. <..>:);)[:(Γ· ._.

Nervous

Tonight was really hard. I was looking over the study guides and started getting really nervous. I decided to skip dance to further study and practice. The written test scares me the most. I just feel like I will draw a blank when it really matters. I'm going to go study now I hope if you feel the way I do just remember "that this is a challenge that you will be proud of for the rest of your life."πŸ€ͺ
