Testing

Testing is soon and I can’t wait. The only thing is that I have school before testing. I also had 3 tennis matches this week, so i am kinda tired, but i am going to get through it.

PMAA Seminar: Journal #51

Today I went to the PMAA Stick Seminar with Guru Melegrito. He taught us a variety of things which can help in real life and just when practicing. After that, I went home and then finished my homework. The major homework that I have was my Spanish Quarter Project where I had to do a self-portrait. I also had to work on a poster for Senior Night for Tennis.

Last required journal: journal #50

Today our tennis match got cancelled so I can FINALLY come to class. It has been a while since I have been able to come to class. Today was also our picture day, so I got dressed up. Nothing much else, so that’s all.

New Tennis Shoes: Journal #49

So my tennis shoes have started to break, so I had to order new ones. They weren't available in my size at the store so I had to order them online, and then they said they would be here on Tuesday, but I kinda needed them on Monday. I passed my written and my physical test, so we are almost there. Testing is getting closer as we progress through the weeks. I haven't been able to go to black belt class because of my tennis matches, and then next week I will be on a school field trip called Sound to Sea for 3 days. I have been finishing most of my requirements, so I don't have to worry about those 3 days. The major things that are left are kicks and self-defense, but I don't have that many more for those either. I finished my Leadership Credit 1 and Mentee...

Physical and Written Test: Journal #48

Yesterday was the physical and written test and then we did our community service activity. I think Indid pretty good on both parts. They didn’t finish grading the written tests before we were done so they are going to email us the results. I am waiting anxiously. Only 2 more weeks before testing, and I can believe it is getting so close.

One day of School: Journal #47

On Monday, because of the hurricane, I had not school. Luckily, that was the only day that we had no school, so we don't have to make any up. Then on Tuesday, we had school, but then again on Wednesday I have no school for a Teacher Workday, but it is also Yom Kippur. This week is very weird, but I am glad that we have Wednesday off because we just switched from Health to PE and on Wednesday's we have to condition. That means we don't have to condition this week, but that's ok even if we did. I am looking forward to the conditioning activities because that means we won't just be playing sports and games in the gym or on the field.

Still nothing: Journal #46

We still can't go anywhere because of all of the wind and rain from the hurricane/tropical storm. I know that CMS doesn't;t have school on Monday, but my school is still figuring it out, based on what the campus looks like. Either way, if I have school or not, it won't affect me. I will be happy either way. That's pretty much all for today.

Going Nowhere: Journal #45

Today, because of the hurricane, we didn't go anywhere. It felt a little weird because everyday I go to at least one place. I was able to do my requirements though, which is good, so I don't fall behind. On Thursday, during my Tennis Match, I think I did something to my elbow, so whenever I bend it in a certain direction, it hurts, but it is getting much better, so I hope by the time the physical test comes, it is healed.

Late days and Half-day: Journal #44

It has been a few days since I have been able to Journal. Thursday, I had a tennis match at a school that was basically in the middle of nowhere and was about 1 hour away. We finished our match around 8 and by the time I got home, it was 9. I then had to eat dinner and shower. Then only I could start my homework. CMS didn't have school Thursday or Friday, but my school didn't want to just cancel school, so on Friday, we ended up having a Half-Day. I am glad we didn't have no school because then we would probably have to make it up, but there is a possiblility that we could have had E-Learning Day as well. When I was in the car, I found out that CMS doesn't have school on Monday either. I don't really care that much, because I think that...

Many tests: Journal #43

Today and yesterday were fairly normal. My tennis match ended a little earlier than normal so I was able to go to black belt class and get a mentor session in. I am glad that I went because I may not be able to go the rest of the week due to the weather and my other tennis matches. From all of the tests that I had this week, I have been doing pretty good, so I hope that it stays that way.

Homework: Journal #42

Yesterday I was working on my homework, so I didn't get to journal. This week I don't have much time, so I had to start and finish any remaining homework that is due this week. Out of my 7 classes, I have 5 tests this week. In band, I don't have any tests, and in English I don't either. This is a very heavy week, but I will push through. The rain may help, but I am not going to rely on it.

Pep Rally: Journal #41

Today is Homecoming at our school, so we had our first Pep Rally of the year. Unlike the middle school pep rally days, the bell rings when it is time to go to your next class. At the middle school, you just had to guess around when to leave. Some of the games were really funny to watch, like competitive speed walking between the students and the teachers. Other than that, my day was pretty normal and I am ready to get to the end.

Can finally journal: Journal #40

Today in Health class I had a free period so I did my homework and tried to get a journal in. The last few days have been a little packed with tennis and my homework. I am glad that I only have a 10 more required journals, but I am sure that i will do more. The physical/written test is in a little more than a week. I have been studying, so I think that I will do pretty decent.

Last Pool Day: Journal #39

Today when I woke up, I went to go run so I can go when it it not hot. Then when I got back, I put up my training video and finished the rest of my requirements. Then we started to do a little bit of cleaning around the yard and in the garage. After we finished that, we changed to go to the pool. This will probably be our last day to go to the pool because this upcoming weekend, is pretty full, so I won't have that much time to go.

Carowinds: Journals #38

Today I woke up and did mainly push-ups and sit-ups. I did this because we don't do as many of those as we do poomsaes, self-defense, and basic kicks. Then when I finished, we ate breakfast and got ready to go to Carowinds. This is the last time that we will go to the water park this year, so we made sure to do as much as possible. We go Fast Passes so we got to skip some of the lines, which helped so that we didn't have to stand in all of the long lines.

Continuing: Journal #37

Today the North Charlotte Location was closed for Labor Day so I couldn't go to black belt or sparring class. This coming week, I only have one match, which helps, because then I can go to black belt class and get some of my other requirements done. Today was not really eventful, but I did get to relax a little bit. Tomorrow I am going to put up my training video. Testing is getting closer everyday, but I am pushing through.

Carpool: Journal #36

Today my carpool didn’t come with us in afternoon carpool and it was his parent’s turn so I didn’t know when his mom was coming. His mom had to go through the middle school carpool line and then could come to our carpool because the middle school kids are not supposed to walk over. By the time she came and go us, it was 3:45 and our school gets out at 2:45, that’s and entire hour! luckily I am only in carpool on Friday’s because of tennis.

We Won: Journal #35

Today we won our last game of the week. During my doubles match, we kept going to Deuce which means that we would win one point, and the other team would win the other. I’m sad that I couldn’t go to Black Belt, but I am still keeping up with the cycle.

Wow: Journal #34

Today we had our second of 3 tennis matches of the week. We completely bombed this match. Nobody won, but that is also because we played a big public school, which is something that we never do. This caused a big disruption in our schedule, but that's okay. That is why the name of this journal is wow. We didn't expect to do that bad. We were really tired especially after our long match yesterday, so our coach gave us the practice off tomorrow so we can finish homework and rest up for Thursday's match.

Late Night: Journal #33

Today I had an early start because all of the schools began today, which means we had to leave earlier to reach in time. I am glad my school already started, because I am in a routine now for when to wake up each day. After school, we had a tennis match which ended at 8:00. I then had to come home, shower, eat dinner, and finish my homework. I stayed up kind of late to finish my homework, but I think I will be good for the rest of the week.

Busy Week: Journal #32

This week is a pretty week because out of 5 days, I have 3 tennis matches. The games are on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, which means I won't make it to Black Belt Class this week, which is upsetting, and I will only be able to get a Leadership 1 on Wednesday and I hope that I get a Mentee Session too that day. Luckily I did the Pre-Cycle so I am pretty good on my requirements.

Testing: Journal #31

Today I helped out with the Junior Tiger's testing. There were a lot of helpers during this testing. It was fun helping and watching the little kids learning and enjoying Tae Kwon Do. Then I helped out in Family Class and later took Black Belt Class. In Black Belt, we kind of had our pre-test today, but only worked on kicks and physical requirements. Then I got home and finished my requirements. My sister is going to a birthday party this evening, so it will be a little quiet around the house then. I won't be going to class except one day this week because of tennis games. I am glad I have been able to juggle tennis, the cycle, and my homework.

Requirements: Journal #30

Today I went to school and then when I got home, I realized that I had absolutely no homework. I decided that I will do some requirements so that I can finish earlier. That was pretty much my day and I hope I have more to write about tomorrow.

1st Tennis Match: Journal #29

Today we had our first tennis match of the season. Since the match is played with 6 singles and 3 doubles, you just have to win 5 out of the 6 singles to win the entire match. This is exactly what happened to us. Since we won the match already, the coach decided to allow everyone to play, so the top players didn't have to play doubles. I am glad that we won, because it was our first win of the season.

Library: Journal #28

Today I got to sleep in just a tad bit. Then I went to school, as normal, then went to tennis practice. At tennis practice, we mainly worked on doubles for our match tomorrow.

Basically the Same: Journal #27

Today started off basically the same as yesterday, but I had to wake up 15 minutes earlier. When I got to tennis practice, we got our uniforms. I'm glad I got the size I want and not a really big size. Then I quickly finished my homework so I could go to class and get some requirements done. That was basically my day. Hopefully tomorrow is a little bit more interesting

Early Start: Journal #26

Today started early with me having to be at school at 7 for Student Council. Then I went to class and the rest of my school day pretty much the same, but then I had to go to Tennis practice.

By the time I got home, I would eat dinner and go to sleep because I have to wake up early again tomorrow.

Homework: Journal #24

Today when I went to school, I already got homework. That didn't surprise me as much because this is high school and sometimes there is summer work. I couldn't wake up and go run because it was my carpool day, but I still got some things done. Because of school, I don't really have much to say.

First Day of School: Journal #23

Today was my first day of school. This year was my first year of high school. With 7 classes, and 2 floors, it can get tricky at times, but once the school year progresses, I will feel more comfortable. The only homework that I have is the normal getting syllabuses signed and reading over papers. This morning felt weird because when I woke up, I didn't have to go and run and do my requirements. I am hoping to go to class today, but we'll see what happens.

School in a few days: Journal #21

Today started off as normal with me doing my requirements. Then I had to go to Tennis practice which lasted until 5. Then I went straight to King Tiger. I got ready to take class and then helped out with a class to get a Leadership credit 1. I want to get a Mentee session in, but I'm not sure if that will happen. I am starting school on Thursday and I am trying to get a lot of things done before school starts, because I know for sure that I won't be able to do as many things when it does start because of Tennis.

Finishing summer: Journal #20

Today is the last weekend I have until school starts. Summer has flown by this year and I wish that it was just a little longer. This year will be my first year doing the cycle and tennis together at the same time. In previous years, I did it on off years for the cycle when I just had to wait. This school year will be a chance for a new start. Today I am going to go get my hair cut, I have an idea of what I want it to be, but I'm not sure how it will look. Ill just have to wait and see. Later I am going to the Festival of India for my sister's dance. That's all for today, but we'll see what's in store for tomorrow.

Basic Day: Journal #19

Today I had to wake up kind of early for my orthodontist appointment. When I got there, I had to get an X-ray and get a bracket added on. They said that instead of having to have my braces on for the full 2 years, I could get them off in 6-8 more months. Then I came home around 8:30 and went to run. It was getting kind of hot when I went, but I am glad I went before it was too hot.

Today was a busy morning. I got up and tried to finish as many requirements as I could because then I had to go to school for a pre-school Student Council meeting. We got to know everybody and worked on some projects. Then I had to get to my last class of Driver's Ed. I was extremely happy when I was done!! I am glad I passed and finished because now I can move onto the Behind-the-Wheel part. Then I came home and relaxed.

I know that the classroom part of Driver's Ed is required to get your permit, but it is not the best class. After that, I went to tennis tryouts. I knew a lot of the team already, which was good. I hope that between everything, I can still manage the cycle, schoolwork, and tennis.

Signs Test:Journal #11

So this morning I went to run and finished my requirements. The next two weeks for me are petty packed because of Driver's Ed. Because my next two weeks are packed and school starts on the 16th, I am glad to have finished my empathy training and my book essay. Even though Driver's Ed may not be the best class, it is something that has to be done. Yesterday my teacher said that today we may have a signs test. I hope that I do well on the signs test and my Unit 4 test.

Unit Tests:Journal #10

So today is my 2nd Driver's Ed class. After each unit you take a test on that unit. Since some of the units are shorter than others, the tests are combined.

Later I will go to TKD for a weekday black belt class and for a Mentor Session.

So this morning, I ran my regular two mile run and the I went to a Lowes Bulid and Grow with my sister. The theme was a fire boat, but there were a few police there.Once we went out, there was a fire truck outside and we got to go in it. Then i got ready for Black Bekt Class. In Black Belt Class, we pretty much went over everything. We did poomsaes where you would switch with your partners, self defense, stick forms, bolo form, the sinuwales, and of course, rolls, and falls. Then I had my very last Required Mentor Session with Master Knight????☹️. We went over things that we all needed work on.

I tried so hard to keep my eyes closes, and I actually managed to do it. When I was mute, my sister literally tried to get me to talk, but when I am blind, I don't know where she is so i did not have that much difficulty this time around.

Science

Today in Science we had to do a pre lab write up. Since it was our first official one, our science teacher helped us with it. Also we had to do workbook pages. If we did not finish,cit was a zero. Yesterday was MAPS testing for reading, but the exact same thing happened as Wednesday. Our home room teacher was furious about it though.

MAPS Testing

Today we had Maps testing, but there was a slight problem. Lots of people kept getting kicked out and the teachers and students were getting frustrated, so they decided to suspend the whole grade from testing. This means on a totally seperate day, the 7th grade will be testing while everyone else is doing their normal day routine. To us, I think this is a good thing though, because we don't have to be quiet and we won't have homework the night before.
