Today was a very chill day. It was a Friday so I am very excited. I am kind of stressed for tomorrow because it’s the written and physical test. It’s that I’m not ready but I just have a lot of thoughts in my head that is making me kind of anxious and stressed. But, tomorrow is going to go great.

Today was great. Woke up early and went to sparring class. It was so great training with Master Jean and Master Hama. They really know what they are doing. I hope they continue doing what they do and continue to earn more achievements. Black belt class was also a lot of fun. A whole bunch of sweating today which made the experience even more fun.

8/30/19- These past few days

Hey blog, have not posted in a while for reasons but one of the main reasons is because I have been sick. It started on Wednesday and carried over into today which is Friday but I’m feeling way better than I did yesterday. Yesterday which was the 29th I had multiple fevers, felt lightheaded, had multiple headaches, felt cold when it was hot outside then got hot after that. Just a whole bunch of up and downs but next I should be back in business and hitting the ground running.

8/17/19- My tiring day

I had a very good day today. Today was the pre test which kicked my butt, but I think I did pretty good being a first timer. Then after that took black belt class and that was exhilarating and fun and definitely SWEATY. After that I had a great mentor session with instructor Catherine. Then came home and went to a friends house and that was a adventure and a half. Last part of the day, I came back home from my friends then worked out for 2 hours for with a good friend of mine and now I’m sore so tomorrow is my chill day.

So tomorrow is the pretext for the cycle and my wrist is hurting again (the same wrist that I problems with before, that I had to get physical therapy for). It’s kind of worrying me because I might have to wear my brace in the morning and I won’t be able to do my push ups, burpees, and half pull ups. The more I push through it, it hurts more so I don’t want to do anything to it tonight but I’m going to keep putting ice on it and hopefully will see what it feels like in the morning.

Today was testing day at the dojo. The junior tigers did so well today and it was fun seeing the stuff they learned and then perform for everyone. I am so proud of my summer camp friend/ buddy because she has gone from a junior tiger to a full yellow belt and it was so exciting seeing her excel.

Today was very tiring but fun at the same time because at the summer camp its science week, so the experiments were fun. The classes after summer camp went by very fast but still very tiring. Learned some new stuff at black belt class so that was fun.

I injured my finger yesterday, so i have to chill with the push ups and burbees but i still did some. My day was interesting because i built my pull up bar/machine thing so i can get those pull ups in and get stronger. I dropped my grandmother off at the airport, but her flight got delayed.
