Today was not great. I woke up this morning, and my allergies were really bad, but school wasn't terrible. I have a quiz tomorrow in Spanish, and then on Friday I have a test in Spanish and in math, so I'm really trying to study for those. I also had a few club meetings today, which are always fun. I had DECA at lunch and Haunted Hallways (my school's haunted house) after school. I also had a crazy amount of homework, so I decided not to go to TKD because of that and my allergies. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing Wednesday. Goodnight!

Today was a pretty average day at school. I started a project in Bio, which is really cool, and we had a discussion on the electoral voting system in AP Seminar, and it was really cool to hear and read about the different perspectives. When I got home, I worked on some homework and did my requirements. After I finished with that, I went to TKD and got to work on color belt self-defense again to make sure that I have them down, and we worked on all of the poomsae's. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today was a pretty normal day at school. I went to all of my classes and mostly just took notes. When I got home, I had a bunch of homework to do, so I finished that up before going to taekwondo. Today, I helped with the shin kickers class and the white belt class before taking red belt class. We worked on some color belt self- which was great because that was what I have been struggling with more. After class, I came home and did my requirements, and my parents decided to enter me into a contest with my mom's friends, so I had to do 100 push-ups in 30 minutes. It really wasn't that bad, but my arms are definitely sore. Anyway, that was my day. I hope everyone also had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today was a pretty chill day. I woke up later today because we didn't go to church until 11. The service was really good, and it talked about teens with phones and what the bible says about it. After, I came home and went on a walk. My knee has really been hurting lately, so I just did a mile and worked on the rest of my requirements. Other than that, I did some chores and just watched a show. I made dinner tonight, and while I was making it, the power cut out, so that sucks. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

This morning I went to black belt class, and it really helped because it showed me that I need to stop focusing on black belt self-defense and focus more on the color belt stuff. Anyway, I came home and did my requirements and took a nap because I was really tired. Today was also one of my friend's birthday parties, and we went to a habachi restaurant that was really good. After that, my best friend and I went to Carowinds to hang out with some of our other friends, and I just got home from that. I hope everyone had an amazing week and is ready for a new one to start! Goodnight!

Today was a really easy day. I didn't do anything in most of my classes, so that was good. I did have another meeting with my principal and got Beta Club officially confirmed! Which is so great because I have put so much effort into getting that started. Anyway, when I got home, I went for a walk and got 1 mile before it started raining, so I just started heading home. I did my requirements and got ready to go to my school's first home football game. The theme was USA, and that was really fun to see everyone dressed up. I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today was a pretty normal day at school. We had a fire drill during a test, so that wasn't ideal, but it was fine. When I came home, I was not feeling great, so I decided to stay home from TKD today. I finished my homework and went on a 3-mile walk to try and make myself feel better, and it kinda worked, but then I went and did my requirements, and I started to feel really bad again. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today I had my club fair at school, where I got to present my idea to bring Beta Club to the student body. I had the people sign a paper so I could show my principal that we have kids interested, and I got over 30 signatures. Other than that, today was pretty boring. When I got home, I got in a quick mile run and had to go to taekwondo. Today was the shin kickers class and sparring, which went really well. I came home and finished up my requirements. Now I'm trying to finish my Biology work. I hope that everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today was picture day at school, so I woke up a little early because I also had to be there early. Other than that, school was pretty normal, and I didn't get too much homework, so that's good. Right after school, I went to taekwondo and helped with the classes before taking black belt class. Black belt class was really good; we worked on some poomsae and self defenses which really helped me recognize my mistakes and fix them. Anyway, I came home, and I have to get my presentation for my Spanish class ready to present tomorrow, so wish me luck! I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today was pretty easy. School was normal; I took notes in most of my classes, but in seminar I had a presentation, which was kind of scary, but my teacher said I did really well. When I got home, I realized I wasn't gonna be able to go to TKD because I had to put together a one-pager for the club fair on Wednesday, and I had to have it done by tomorrow. Anyway, I finished that up, and I went on a 2-mile walk and completed my requirements. I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today was really boring. We didn't get a chance to go to church today, so I jsut watched it online, but I do really miss being able to volunteer with the three year olds. Anyway, I had to clean up my room a little and do some laundry. Me and my sister went dress shopping again today because I didn't find my dress yesterday and she neds a dress for homecoming court. Unfortunately neither of us found a dress though. When we came home we decided to go on a walk as a family, it was the five of us and our four dogs. Although me and my dog, Moose, walked a lot farther than the rest of them. Ok, so that was my day. I hope everyone had an amazing day too. Goodnight!

Today was another very eventful day. I woke up this morning and went straight to black belt class. The class really helped me with all of the material we covered. After class, I came home, did my requirements, and went on a 3-mile walk. After, I went to get my hair done, and my hairstylist was telling me about this trial going on called the Lindsay Clancy trial, and it's really interesting. I would say if you are old enough to listen to it, you should. Anyway, after that, my mom, my sister, and I went homecoming dress shopping, which was really good. I did not end up finding a dress, but my sister did, and it looks amazing.  After that, I came home and watched a show. I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today at school was pretty eventful. I had like 2 tests today, and I had a meeting with my principal and my sponsor so I can start a Beta chapter at my school, and I think it went really well. We have a spot at the club fair next Wednesday, and I have another meeting next Friday to talk about further actions. But I did have to miss a little bit of AP Seminar, so I'm working on what I missed in class right now. After school, I came home and did my requirements, and that basically sums up my day. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing day and an amazing week. Goodnight!

This morning I couldn't sleep, so I woke up and went on a 3-mile walk and finished all of my requirements before I had to start getting ready for school. School was pretty chill. I had an assessment in civics, but other than that, I didn't really do anything. Thankfully, I had enough time to finish my homework during 6th period, so I don't have anything else to do tonight. I had TKD; it was shin kickers and sparring, which was good because I got to spar with a lot of different people and improve. Now I'm home and ready to go to sleep. I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today was pretty rough. I had a pop quiz in AP Seminar (it's the second day of school) and overall have a lot of homework. I also had a meeting with my advisor today, and it went okay-ish; she told me about some things that I needed to fix, and that was really it. When I came home, I immediately had to start getting ready for TKD. It was pretty fun today, but I was really tired, so it was kinda hard for me to focus. Anyway, now I'm home and working on some homework for civics and seminar. I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today was my first day of sophomore year! It was a lot of fun to see all of my friends again and see how my classes are going to be, but I am a little scared because I know that I am going to be REALLY busy this year. When I got home, I did my requirements and got ready for TKD. I got to help with the shin kickers class and the white belt class, which was good because I got leadership and class assistance credits. When I got home, I had to look over my slideshow that I have to present tomorrow for my club sponsor and my principal, so wish me luck! Now I have to finish annotating 3 different essays for AP Seminar, so yay. Anyway, I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today was kind of boring. I got to sleep in this morning, and when I woke up, I went on a walk and did my requirements. I finished up my painting from yesterday, but I had to run to the store to grab some glitter for it. After that, we went to a BBQ cookout with some of my mom's old friends and got some amazing food. Then, I went home and watched a movie called "Don't Say Good Luck", which was really sad but really good. Anyway I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

When they left, I went on a run and did the rest of my requirements. Then, I had to go to the store to get the rest of my school supplies. Anyway, that was my day.

Today was pretty easy. I went on a walk this morning and did my exercises, but I didn't do poomsae or self-defense until later because my sister decided that she needed to go to the mall. We spent some time shopping, but my sister had to leave because she helps with the sports medicine at my school and there was a football game she had to help with. So we left, and I went home, finished up my requirements, and went to the football game. Anyway, that was my day. I hope everyone had an amazing day. Goodnight!

Today, I went on a walk and went down to the turtle's house that I'm babysitting for. When I got home, I did the rest of my requirements and had to do some laundry. Since school is starting in a few weeks, I wanted to have a clean room, so I went through all of my clothes and got rid of a lot of them. Then my sister had to go to the eye doctor, and she asked me to go with her, so of course I went. After that, I went to taekwondo and got to help with the shin kickers class, which is by far my favorite class, and the sparring and sparring prep class. I got to take the sparring class, and it was a lot of fun, but somehow kids just keep getting hurt. But overall, today was a pretty great day. I hope everyone also had...
