today took a long time to get over with, but it is the middle of the week and it gets easier from here. i woke up exhausted and it was very very hard to get out of bed this morning. once i finally did get out of bed i ran a mile and did my morning workout which by the end of it i was finally awake. i got all my things together and went off to school. i slept on the bus to catch up on sleep and i arrived at school early. i went to first block and that was the longest hour and a half of my life because all we did was sit there and talk about things that are uninteresting and irrelevant. second block was very fun because we talked about all of world war 1. third block we talked about how a seed grows and...

today was a very short day, i woke up feeling sick with stomach cramps so that was a clear sign that this day wasnt going to go well. after i ate something, drank some ginger ale (ginger naturally settles a stomach), and took a nap i felt better and went back to school shopping with my mom to fill up my bookbag with things i need like pencils, pens, paper, notebooks, ect... and im very happy with how much my bookbag weighs. last year my bag weighed 35 pounds from textbooks and 5 subject notebooks and that was without my lunch in it, this year it weighs 15 pounds with my lunchbag in it and packed up. that will make things easier. im about to go to sleep, i have to wake up at 4 in the morning if i want to workout before i leave for school. hopefully tomorrow i...

today i woke up motivated and prepared, i made sure i ate a breakfast with alot of protein and drank orange juice to make sure i was fully awake. i got all my things together and i went to master evans, on the way there i studied the color belt book curriculum to make sure i could pass my pretest. when i got there i put my stuff up and we jumped right into the pretest starting with the physical part, i got the fastest mile time and i surpassed or met all the physical goals. then we went on to forms which i did great at getting a 4 on il, sa, and oh jang and got a 3.5 on pal jong so i dont need to go back and retest. then we ran out of time and had to start class but as soon as warm ups were done...

today i spent the morning relaxing and working out, not doing much because i knew i was helping out with the open house and testing at mint hill later today. i got alot of stuff together for a bake sale that i made my self and we sold it to help raise money for levine childrens hospital. then during the open house i helped with the dunk tank and took a few turns on the seat. i took a break and went inside to do the rest of my requirements. testing started and me and a few others helped out with a testing with 37 in attendance. i sparred and it really hurt my feet because i didnt have shin guards. i need to study more in order to be in good shape for the pre test this saturday. 

today was a busy day, i woke up and ran my 2 miles and immediatley went home and started baking cookies and brownies for a bake sale im going to be doing at the king tiger mint hill open house, i will also be in the dunk tank for a time....:/. i hope the sales go well tomorrow so i can raise my 250$ fast and get done early, but hopefully i will raise more. after everything was baked and we organized them in bags and put prices on everything, i worked out, long and hard so i got it all done at once. i had to go to my school open house today, i met all of my teachers who seem nice but i dont know anyone in my classes yet. i went home and studied and i think im making progress but i will need to be very prepared...

today i made alot of progress, not only did i workout and got everything for my daily requirements done, but i finished another essay too. i also got the book i need to read for another essay and i can start to read it and get it done soon. this week i plan to help out and get credits but i also plan to enjoy my last week of summer, so i now have 6 days left. i read a quote today to put in my role model essay and found it true and interesting, it was "A leader leads by example, whether he intends to or not." this is a great quote and thought i should share it. but hopefully i will get alot more things done tomorrow and finally take some stress off my shoulders. 

today i had to catch up on the workout i missed yesterday. i had not done much workout yesterday but i had a head start so it took less time than usual. i really need to get my essays done before school starts, im soon going to get my recommendation letters, and the book im going to read for the essay is on its way. i have earned alot of credits for classes and i am trying to get as many as possible before school starts in a week and a half. i hope its easier to be on the cycle and to be in school than i think its going to be. 

Today was a good day. I woke up and mowed a lawn and got 20$, then I ran and worked out but I really focused on mug forms, my stances and hand positions need work.

I looked over my book with the requirements and so far I am on track with everything, so in excited!!!!

today i woke up really late, around 10 o clock, after i got dressed and ate i went for my run and felt really energized so i immediately went into my workout and got all of it done within an hour and a half, including forms. i find that pull ups are still difficult and that is my weakest link at the moment. i went to a regular class and got a mentor session in, then i went to a sparring class and got more of my workout done. i went home and quickly got my weapons ready for the PMAA class at Master Evans school, i thought we were going to be late since it was 7:50 when we left, it takes a half hour to get there and i thought the class started at 8:15 instead of 8:25. i need a new schedule. now i am home and have...

Today was a very long day, I woke up early and babysat 2 kids till 1:30, after I worked out I went to class to help out and I did a mentor session. I came home and when I worked out again I did a sparring round and I pulled a muscle in my leg, now I'm on the couch icing it off and I think it's going to be better soon. I just hope it heals soon and well.

today i woke up same as yesterday, not feeling to well...or awake. i did however have a motivation to get things done, i went home and ate breakfast, then i went to my high school and helped out with arranging school letters for community service hours. this was a slow and boring process but i did meet new people and help out. after, i went home and worked out. i made very careful i went over all my forms and self defense correctly. my workout, especially my sit ups and pull ups, were very difficult today. after i was done, i relaxed for a bit and went to the 4:45-5:45 class and got a mentee session in (which i am very happy i got in). now im at home, i have to eat dinner, shower, and read. hopefully tomorrow i will clear up from this feeling of sickness soon. 

today i finally hit my crash, i had a terrible time waking up and i woke up sick, i felt horrible and exhausted. i finally got my workout done and went to class, earned leadership credits, but today was a difficult day. i hope tomorrow will be way easier. i have learned today that i may have to learn some new self defense for the cycle, this could be good or bad. i need to keep myself on track and stay with my schedule.

today i went to the white water raft center with my friends for a birthday party and it was not only fun, but physically demanding. we woke up and had a good breakfast, then left and got our tickets. the first thing we did was the high ropes corse, the 3 hardest ones they had. the first one was intermediate, the second one was difficult, but the third one was borderline insane. we were really tired at the end of that so we decided to go kayaking, we found a sandbar in the river and swam for a bit. after that was over, we had lunch and went to where we were going to be briefed for our raft reservations safety class. there were alot of rules and things to remember but we got our safety equipment on and were assigned a raft guide. we went down alot of rapids from...

today was the last black belt camp and i had loads of fun and learned alot :). first, all the students and parents got to sit down and ask master Evans questions about the cycle, we learned alot there too. in the first half, we went over all the color belt curriculum and got alot of tips and corrections done. in the second half, i learned staff attack/defense which i have wanted to learn for a while, we also went over basic form number 1 with the staff. after that was done and we were home, i worked out, got a haircut, and took a shower. now i am on my way to my friends birthday party where tomorrow we go to the white water raft center, hope its fun :)

today was a good day, i made 20$ mowing a lawn, went to class to help out and to get credits, and went to black belt class and worked on my forms to make them better. during the class, it started to rain and thunder, so when i went home, obviously i got wet. today was a good day though, tomorrow is the meeting and another black belt camp. hopefully i can get everything done tomorrow since im going to my friends house after everything is done.

today was a really short day, but it was fun. I woke up and did all my workouts and chores, then I went to class. it was one of my instructors last day before he went off to collage and it was sad saying goodbye to him, but he did promise to visit. the workout was easier and I have everything up on track. I am soon going to my friends house to sleep over, it was a good day :)
