Candidate Journals

so this is my very last journal! Good luck everybody on the public test!!

Only one more day left. wow. get that reveiw in everybody :)

Today I finished all of my requirements! I also went to train with Grandmaster Lee! It was really fun because we did some self- defense that involved throwing, and I dropped my partner more than once. oops. overall, today had been good.

so this is my journal for today. I did not do much but my butt hurts from the bike ride yesterday.

Today my sister, my brother, my mom, and I went biking (my dad was working on the car). It was really fun. We saw some weird people though. A bunck of cute dogs, too. I can't waid for testing! I feel real nervous though.

Today at black belt class we went over EVERYTHING. It was really helpful, I really needed help on my palguay forms. Besides that, I am 99.99% shure that I have everything down. Really happy rn. Goodnight

Today I helped with testing, and it was fun!! Thankfully, I did not have to hold any boards for anyone. It was awesone to cheer people on and see them happy

today this is my journal because it is really late and i am really tired. sorry =)

Today I did not get much TKD done. I did a lot of chores though. The dry air of the fall is making my throat hurt.

Today I am planning to get all of my requirements done. they have become much easier ever since i recalculated what I had to do every day. we worked on a attack/defend form and I think I memorized it! In sparring we worked on kick defense and did "meat grinder" it is where someone stands in a rink and spars everyone in the line. After they are finished, they switch out with the next person in line. you literally spar everyone twice! I kicked someone's elbow >~

Today in black belt class we did stick poomses. My mentor and I went over staff form 1 and staff attack/defend. i have finished my burpees, pull-ups, and neccicary black belt classes! :) (that does not mean that i will stop doing them though).

Today I entered the info that finished my BB weekday and by BB weekend, thanks to the hyper pro credits. Today I had a Mentor session. I keep saying this, but it is extremely hard to balance schoolwork and TKD all at once, i just keep telling myself, it will all be over in a month...

Today I got all of my requirements in and got a leadership credit. I got all of my poomses and self- defenses done between classes:) today was a good day. gtg to bed now

Today was good. We learned Hapkido in black belt class. I did a session with my mentor, and got most of my requirements done. I need to got on those essays though. good Night

Yesterday I got my first mentee session in and helped with class. I am doing okay on requirements , but i am going to recalculate the requirements i have to do in hopes that they will be less because of the pre- cycle. so much studying ._.

I had a Migraine on Saturday, that is why I did not do any requirements besides running. that is how I basically got my migraine. my family and i think it is over- exertion. Balancing schoolwork and TKD is pretty hard right now ):

today was a good day. I had a sleepover so i am super tired, but i got all of my requirements done. :)

I am still really sore from the physical two days ago. I did well all except that I have to redo the written part.

Today was a good day. Got all of my requirements done and a little extra. Pretty happy. just so u guys know, my school started on the 14th, so i am juggling homework and requirements + instruments. >~

Today was really good because I got most of my requirements done in class. I am super busy now that school has started, and barley have any time for my requirements.

Today i succesfully ran a 5k with my mom. I got all of my requirements done and i dusted off the high red poomse

Today was my last day of summer ): i don't want to go back to school but i want to see my friends again. i am getting all of my requirements done, though it is hard to run because i keep getting really painful cramps. well, that was all for now.

Today was a good day, I got most of my requirements done in sparring and BB class. We did a LOT of kicks in both classes, so that was good :)

Today i got all of my requirements done before 11:00! I also made lunch for my siblings while my dad was on a business call. the only bad thing was that i got a lot of cramps on my run. they kept coming and going away. overall, i started this day out well.

Today was my sis's b-day. We went to taco bell and a ballgame to celebrate. At the end of the game, when we where walking to the car, my dad ligit almost got run over by a drunk driver. so that was a fun experience :). Got all of my requirements done. ran a full 2 miles. happy about that

today i was really tired bc i only got 4 hours of sleep. i slept in a tent in my backyard for my sister's birthday party. i got soaking wet bc it down pored the whole night. so yeh. that was fun. got my requirements done today. :)

I got a lot done today. Dusting off my color belt self defense for the physical. started a goal of running 2 miles every day. FINALLY started on sparring rounds :)

Got 2 miles in today. did some sparring rounds. class covered all of my requirements :)

Today I was really tired bec I went to bed at 4:00am at a sleepover. Really need to start doing my sparring rounds & color belt self defense at home. got 2 miles in bye :)

Today I am at my grandparents house in Galax, Virginia for smoke on the mountain (my dad judges). We got here yesterday, right after VBS ended. I have (and had) plenty of time to do my requirements :) well, that's all for now.bye

Today I volunteered at VBS, then went out for lunch w/ friends, went to their house, came home and went to TKD class and earned some leadership credits, came home and did the rest of my requirements. My heel hurts when I put a lot of hard impact on it. I iced it when I got home :)

Today I was volunteering at VBS (vacation Bible school) for three hours. 9:00-12:00 then, went to my eye appointment (I just got new contacts) that took about an hour. I came home and had snack, and here I am, blogging so that I don't forget to after BB class. I haven't had any time for my requirements yet. I really hope BB class takes care of most of them. Kk, bye

Today I found out that I could not read for my meditation/quiet time, so I had to pull all of my 220 minutes down to zero :( I also ran two miles so i don't have to run on Sunday (tomorrow). Today was the last day of my white belt challenge *cheers* so I am going to write my essay tomorrow while doing my empathy training (12 hrs of being mute) I wonder if anyone had done their empathy training while they where sleeping XD. Like, 12 hrs of sleeping, and if you don't sleep - talk........ I don't think Master Evans would allow that. Anyway, right now I feel on top of everything and confident :) Goodbye

Today I really don't have much to write about. I just recently discovered that I will need to know all of my colored belt self defense for the cycle pretest. I am a tiny bit stressed about that. I also really need to start on my sparring rounds. Sadly, school is starting for me in about mid August, and that means more friend issues. Otherwise, my life is going fine. Well, i am really tired and am going to bed in a few seconds (it's 10:02 pm)

Today I went to the YMCA to swim for three hours, then I went home, continued with daily life, and then went to help out in a class before mine (need those leadership creds). After my class and Hyper Pro, I went home and finished my requirements, and here I am, tracking and blogging at 8:46 pm, ready to go do the dishes. I REALLY NEED TO START ON MY SPARRING ROUNDS >~<

Today was kinda crazy. I woke up at 6:00am to make breakfast for my family (random act of kindness to the major) after that, my mom, sister and I jogged a mile. After we jogged for a mile, and my little brother woke up, we went to the optometrist for eye appointments. I got contacts!! Then we went to Lenny's Subs for lunch. After that we went to Target to buy me some bathing suits (the pool kept turning mine a funny color >~

Today I have a lot planned. I want/need to do all of my chores, I want to "work" on my dog, Schuyler (brush her teeth, brush her) and I also plan on finishing my requirements in a timely manner. My mom and I got my Wacom Bamboo tablet all set up, so I want to draw on that, too. Well, guess that's all for now, bye.

Today I plan on doing all of my requirements before 3:00pm. Yesterday my Wacom tablet arrived from amazon! I plan on trying that out today . Today my family and I have no activities, Twix is doing great, and we are giong to my grandparent's house tomorrow, so i guess that's it :D

A few days ago, I got a new Teddy Bear hamster. She is 4 - 6 months old, and very small. Her name is Twix (like the candy) and yesterday her exercise ball came in the mail :) I will be using it so that she can run around while I do my requirements. (i did this blog entry early so that i would not forget about it AGAIN )                          ^----^                     (  0 . 0)                   _( , % , ) <---- hamster  

Today was kinda a do-nothing day. I mean,Ii did all of my requirements, but I never left the house. I finished Hoot,(the book i was reading for the cycle) and I am going to start on the essay soon. This weekend I might/will get a hamster. (my old one lived for three years and died about a week ago). So, that was basically all. ciao

Today i don't really feel like blogging much. So i will tell you guys what i did today. I finished all of my requirements, then my family and i went swimming in the neighborhood pool. After that, my mom, my sis and I had piano & flute lessons (i am the one who plays flute). Then, after that, we went home. So that was basically my day. Caio

Today was kind of a normal day. I set a goal to finish my requirements before noon, and completed that goal! My family and I jogged/ran a mile together at about 7:00am, so that was finished early! I am planning to work on my "art doll" for my new skill today! (details in my last blog entry). I also started to learn how to control negative thoughts about myself/others when i get really frustrated/angry/jealous.
