I didn’t go to school today. I needed some rest for the black belt testing tonight. I first did all my morning stuff, then I did my physical requirements and then played a little Fortnite and did my studies and ate lunch and then I went to sleep. When I woke up I just practiced my poomsaes and self defenses and then just chilled out until testing. I need to go to testing now. Bye.

Journal 3: August 21, 2018

I had a normal day today: I went to school, had electives, then science, social studies, ELA, and finally math. When I came home I took a bath and did my daily ritual and then did all my physical requirements including poomsaes and self defenses. After that I went to Tae Kwon Do which leads me to where I am now. Also, though I've tried everything, I am not able to figure out how to log my daily requirements, so if someone would aid me I would really appreciate it.

Journal 1: August 15th 2018

I had a decent but not really a normal day. The morning was normal, I woke up at 8 and went jogging and did all the daily physical requirements including practicing all my poomsaes and self defenses and then finished my studies. Then the abnormal part came, me and my sister had to go to the eye doctor instead of my normal playing Fortnite and friends. I was fine but my sister needed new glasses since her power rose a lot. After that it was normal again, I went to taekwondo and then did a daily Hindu ritual call sandhyavandanam. That’s all for today since my school starts tomorrow.
