Today at tae kwon do Master Burkart was helping me go over stuff that will be on the test. I'm pretty sure I got most of it but there are a few things that I still mess up on. By the time testing comes though I will probably be ready.

Today was a long day. First I helped at the 9:00 class in Mint Hill, then went to black belt at Master Evins. Those two classes tired me out. afterwards we went home and did stuff around the house for the rest of the day.
Today I helped at the 5:45 class in Mint Hill. I helped two white belts learn Kwan sool. We must have did it twenty times. Then after helping at that class I took Mint Hill's Black Belt class. There was only 4 people in the class so we got a lot done. We did hapkito, staff attack and defend, and hand attack and defend, and staff form 1. I got a lot of practice in.
Wow. Has it really been twelve years since 9-11 happened. This tragic event will never be forgotten. For the thousands off lives lost you will never be forgotten. I dedicate this journal entry to everyone who is or was effected by 9-11.

Today I got up and ran my mile and half at the park with my family. I got a pretty good time when I did it. About twelve minutes for 1.5 miles. I think that's pretty good. After jogging we went to Mc Donald's for breakfast. Then we went and looked for a solar cover for our pool. We didn't find one that was reasonable. After looking we came home and went swimming. The pool was only 83 degrees so it was kinda chilly but not bad. I'm still deciding if I am going to do the no electronics for a week. I'm going to have to decide quick because it starts tomorrow. I think I am going to do it but I'm not sure. It's going to be difficult but I am going to try. I finished my requirements so I am going to relax for a few hours.
Today day I got up school time early so I could help at Mint Hill's testing at 8 am. I got a lot of my requirements done while I was there. I ran a mile before helping at testing. I got to get in a leadership credit at testing because I led warm-ups. I'm getting pretty comfortable leading warm-ups. Before the cycle I was afraid to lead warm-ups. So I have improved a lot. Then after testing I went home for hour and did some requirements. Then I headed back out to go to Master Evins Black Belt Class. During black belt class we did some forms, self-defenses, and hapkito. I finally remember all 10 hapkito defenses. It just took doing them all a few more times. Also during class I got in a lot of my requirements. I almost finished all of my daily requirements! Then after class my mom...
Today I helped at Mint Hill's 5:45 family class. It was really fun but I got is sore throat from talking so much. Then I took black belt class and we went over staff attack and defend and hand attack and defend. I think I'm getting it pretty good I just have to keep practicing.
I didn't sleep at all last night so I was really tired today. I was pretty much sleep doing my requirements. I don't have class today because its my day off. I am going to catch up on sleep so I'm not tired tomorrow.

That will be fun.
Today took the 10:45 black belt class at Master Evins. After class I went to Subway for lunch and then went home and did the rest of my requirements. Then we went out to dinner at Gengis Grill. I think that's how you spell it. Then we went home and swam for a hour. It was fun. So I had a good day.
Today I helped out in the 5:45 class in Mint Hill and then took black belt class. In black belt class we went over hapkito, specials, self-defense, sticks, and the written test answers. We got alot done. I got a few tips on hapkito and sticks that was very helpful. I can't believe it has been 30 days since we started the cycle. It feels like I have been doing it forever. But we are only almost half way done. Not even halfway.

Today I enjoyed my last day of summer. I swam in my pool, played with my dog, and spent time with family. I have had a lot of fun. But the day isn't over yet so I am going to enjoy my last few hours of summer. Every single minute will be enjoyed.

After the Pre-Test my dad took me and my brother to Subway and Go Cart Racing To celebrate. It was so much fun. Overall I had an awesome day. Tomorrow is my last day of summer so I am going to enjoy it as much as I can. But it is time for summer to end. Goodbye Summer!!!!!
Today I practiced everything for the Pre-Test tomorrow. I have never done the Pre-Test before so I don't know what to expect. I'm so nervous and scared.
Today I helped at Mint Hill again. It's fun helping the younger belts get their stripes for testing tomorrow. Also tomorrow is Mint Hills Open house which I am going to help at. I am so excited to help!!!!
I just got home from helping at Mint Hill and then taking sparring class. I am really tired. During sparring class we did 10 sparring rounds without a water break. I am still sweaty and it has been 20 minutes since the class ended. But it was a good class we worked on foot work, kicks, we did a lot of push ups and sit ups, and we helped the younger belts get a feel for sparring. But I am not done yet I have a mentor session with Master Richie and then black belt class at Master Evins. Until then I am going to work on my essays and relax.
Today I got to help out at Mint Hills Tae Kwon Do Camp and helped out with the younger belts. I also got to take the sparring class that was during the camp. I got in a some credits and requirements done while I was there. It was really fun to work and help the younger belts. It was awesome and great experience for me. I can't wait to go back tomorrow and help again.
Today I am doubling all my requirements so it will be easier to do them when school starts. The more I do now the less I have to do later so Im going to do all I can now to make it easier for later. Because when school starts everything will get alot harder. With homework and school functions Im going to have a hard time getting everything done. Im bracing myself for the worst. Hopefully its not as hard as I think but if it is I still believe I can do it. As Moliere said "The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it." I know I can do this and I will succeed. "The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence." -Confucius
Today it rained all day so I had to jog my miles in the rain. It wasnt that bad though it actually felt good. I took the 9:00 class at Mint Hill and got some leadership credits and then went to Master Evins for the saturday black belt class.

I think I will be ready for the Physical Pre-Test and the Physical test. LETS GO LAUREN!!!!!!!!
