Candidate Journals

This is my final journal of my second cycle and I will keep training but I still have two years until I get to do this again which I am excited for 

Today was the black belt tea ceremony which I think is the coolest part because it is very relaxing and calm and of course there is the fact of getting your belt which is very exciting to me.

As I near the end of my journals I become more and more excited. I am very excited for the tea ceremony tomorrow I can't wait to get my belt.

Today was a normal day, nothing special at all happened with anything. I am glad there is no more physical things involved only journals.

Today the Hornets got their first win against the Bulls. They put up 135 points so it was very exciting and I was glad I could go to the game.

Today the Panthers play on Monday Night Football and I am currently watching them and they are winning 3-0, I really want to go but I am going to watch the Hornets play tomorrow night.

Man oh man testing. I thought it was difficult but still it gives you a lot good feelings when you get that black belt. Today we also had a surprise black belt celebration for my friend Holden which was a lot of fun.

Today I stayed home from school so I could sleep and get ready for the black belt test tonight. I don't know if I am excited or nervous for it.

Today after school I went to tae kwon do and crammed for the test tomorrow, I am ready for it I just don't know what to expect so I am going to do everything.

In Homeroom we got free donuts and got a party during math so we got to go outside. Also I was at tae kwon do cramming on requirements trying to finish up before the test so I should be good for Friday night.

I am glad I got to go on the Black Belt retreat this past weekend.  I got to work on a lot of things I was needing not to mention had a great time too.  I got home in time to watch the Jets on TV  at my Uncle's house and am mad they lost to the Patriots but at least the Panthers are still undefeated!

Glad I didn't have to go to school today since it was a teacher workday, it was nice to sleep in.  I got some requirements in and finished packing for the retreat today. Excited to head out in a few hours.  It should be a great weekend.

Today is the day of our pep rally at school.  It's the big game between Bradley Middle and Bailey. I am excited to go and I get to be a part of it.  I am playing in our schools marching band.  Let's go Bradley!  I should be done in time to get one last PMAA class in tonight, then head home so I can pack for the retreat tomorrow..  Can't wait and the bonus is there's no school cause it's a teacher work day.

Just came home from school, getting ready to head to class to work on some requirements.  I am looking forward to the retreat this weekend, hopefully we can work on some things and I can master my stick forms before testing.

Today after school my bus was late so I didn't get home till around 5:30 at night so I couldn't go to baseball and we have a project due tomorrow

Today we got a half day so when I got home I got lots of requirements done and we got no homework as a plus.

Today I am watching football at 9:30 in the morning and I may be watching it till 11:30 at night. I am tired still and a little in pain from that physical test yesterday morning.

Today was our physical and written test and I think I did very well as I did better in everything in the physical test then in the pre test

Today before sparring class I hurt my shoulder and it still hurts to put pressure on but I can move it and I feel much better.

Today I had to make up all of the stuff I missed on Friday which included three tests two homework assignments and a lot of other things so it was a long day.

Today was very long because I had to go all the way from Myrtle Beach back here which is a very long drive but it was fun I got to meet new people and do new things with sticks so I had a good time

Today was a nice day because for all of CMS today was a day off so I relaxed got some requirements done and then I went to class later in the day

Today I had a project and they just sprung this 54 question test on us, which was kindve frustrating but I get to watch my football team the jets so that is good.

Today I took a break and watched all the football games. There was a quite a few upsets like the bucs, Jaguars, and the Raiders... When was the last time those 3 teams won on the same day

Today I missed class because of baseball practice so I couldn't get many requirements done but I did get a mile in so that always helps

Today I had a baseball game so I didn't go to class but I am still not feeling well and I hope I don't feel like this in the morning because I will refuse to go to school feeling sick like a dog

Today I didn't feel well so I didn't go to class and laid down I hope I feel better tomorrow because I have a baseball game and it has gotten worse and worse

Today when I woke up I got that 5 page essay near finished I have about a paragraph left then later we went to my uncles house and we watched football and then I came home and I am watching more football

Because of color belt testing I got to stay home from tae kwon do and get some requirements done and study for some tests that I have to take tomorrow...School is rough

Yesterday was my second pre test but it felt much harder. That extra .5 mile may not seem like much but it certainly feels like a lot. It makes it ten times harder to do 35 push ups when you run before hand and your poomsaes won't look as good but I passed and I am still on the cycle so I count that as a victory.

Today was pretty boring and since I had two long days in Tkd my dad let me stay home when I got home but then I did requirements but not much

Today in summer camp we went to LKN Mini Golf and it was pretty fun me being not an amazing mini golfer I did pretty well

Today master Hama came to our school (Lkn King Tiger) if you are wondering and he taught us cool things about sparring so today was pretty fun.

Today I didn't do much so I guess you can say I took a break but later on I went over to my uncles house and we eat dinner and watched the final round of the pga championship

Today I got some requirements done and in summer camp we went to the park and library and in black belt class today we did a lot of color belt stuff... Pre test preparation I guess

Today I pretty much did nothing besides a few requirements here and there but otherwise it was a normal day of me just sitting and relaxing.

Today in black belt class we worked on the bolo form which was pretty helpful because I knew none of it and I need to know it for testing.

Today was a pretty normal day, I got some requirements done and in summer camp we went to the movies and then went to the park and played basketball
