Candidate Journals

i didn't go to sparring today, but i did help out and go to bbc. after this we're going to pick up my sister from jr instructors and maybe go out from lunch. well, it'll be 3 so maybe lunch-midafternoon snack. midlunch snack? lol, nm but i'll see you guys tomorrow. bye

well, i'm journalling again today because some pretty interesting things happened (atleast for me, idk ab u) but i was in the middle of english and suddenly the teachers start corralling everyone into the halls and they're not telling us why so we stay huddled in the hallway for 2 hrs and it's way too dark for 11am outside. some people start crying bc they're scared and we eventually learn that it's a tornado or tornadOES, plural. after that i ate lunch in a classroom and went home early and did my requirements and now i'm here. besides that, someone brought in a shoe box to spanish containing nike air force 1s. they were in men's, and they were size 13. i'm not going to say much, but whoever that person's giving the shoes to must have way bigger problems than the rest of us (if u get it, u get...

so i'm currently at school rn while writing this, but don't worry school hasn't actually started yet so i have a lil bit of time to journal before classes start. things have been busy but i will journal tomorrow, or at least really try to. good morning to yall and i'll see u later

alright, updates on the weekend - i have the day off today because of a teacher workday, which works out great because yesterday was the superbowl. me and a friend had a bet before the game. i chose the 49ers and they chose the chiefs, and everything was working out great until the fourth quarter of the game. we didn't bet anything except maybe bragging rights so it's okay. if we did bet $ i know for a fact neither of us would pay. community service was good, but woah, was that a LOT of canned food. bbc and sparring was fine, my sunday other than the superbowl went relatively good, and we are back to monday. i have been slacking on journaling/tracking on the website but that's going to stop today. see you guys tomorrow and good day to all

its free-day friday bc i am finally FREE from the clutches of school. today was good. we had a donut sale @ school so i got a doughnut for breakfast and then went to my first class. while i was walking to one of my other classes later in the day, it suddenly started snowing and as the day progressed it turned into a heavier snowfall so in the middle of class we all just rushed outside and started trying to catch snowflakes and throwing bits of snow at each other. it was fun but was cut short after 10 min bc the teacher yelled at us to get back inside or we would _(insert threat bc idr what she said)_. i'm home now and unfortunately has stopped snowing but it's okay bc i still had fun. have a great day everyone and i'll see ya mañana.

hey, i haven't journalled in a week but i'm back and will be here tmrw and the day after that bc honestly i reaaaallly need to journal more. today was okay. school and tkd was normal. by now, i'm looking forward to going home from school on friday. i hope you guys had a good week so far and sleep well, goodnight 

hola amigos i am home from school and thank god i don't have to go back there tomorrow. i'll update on thursday since i'm pretty sure i didn't journal yesterday. thursday was chill and around 12:30 i went down to the lower school (our school has K-12 on 1 campus) to watch my sister perform in a midsummer night's dream. i don't remember what the character's name was, but i do remember that it was a guy who turns into a donkey. after that my sister wanted to stay @ school n take the bus home and i was not ab that life so i left with my mom. bbc was fine. friday is chill so far, and that's pretty much it. goodbye, sleep well, and see you tmrw

annnnnnnnnd we're back to reality. the weekend high has officially worn off leaving us with school, homework, annnnnd MORE homework. it's aight tho since i'm not dead yet. so that's a plus. today was boring. i wish i had a dollar for every time i almost fell asleep. once i got home, i did my requirements and am now doing hw. peace out plp

usually i whine and complain ab how horrible mondays are but not today bc today was an amazing day. updates on the thing i had sunday - it went aight. aight, indeed. i got some important things done today and i am still on a high from sunday and add that to the amazingness of today and you're set. today was beautiful and i had the day off and it felt amazing to go to sleep for such a long time. imma go to bed so sleep well everyone and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOHOOOHOOHOOHOOHOOOO!!!!!

well, today was okay. some notes w the title- idk what to type but i felt i had to put in a lil more so i j did a fill-in-the-blank. i woke up round 8, went to sparring, had a mentee session, ran a mile and a half, came back and did bbc, and went home and cleaned bc we had some people coming over. tomorrow is a very big day for me, and i'm kinda pysched out n a little bit -- wellllllll not really i was gonna say scared but it's not like i'm scared. it's like anxious anticipation but i'm not that anxious but i'm not overly joyful either. I will see you guys after that w updates. have a good afternoon and   _____(fill in the blank)_____. 

(the title is the same bc idk man) today was a good-okay day. was really rainy, and classes were the same, although i am enjoying my free blocks. after school i had a club and it's crunch time since comp is on sunday and we're prepping for that. i fit in some requirements between that and tkd.  did class, had a mentor session, and went home. see yall, gn, bye

i think it's safe to say that today was a good day. we had midterms today which seemed difficult atfirst but when i actually got it was pretty easy. after that i ate lunch w my friends and went to the rest of my classes, and the best thing about midterms is that after i took it (i only had 1) i have a couple of free blocks to substitute for my classes up in the hs for the rest of the week. got home, chilled/did requirements, and i'm gonna go to bed now. goodnight & sleep well

hi guys  i took a break from journaling for a while j bc it's been a long week. a really, really long week n sometimes i need to take a lil break from all the rush. today was the pretest and i was tired, i was sore, but it's cool cause i'm not dead yet. i feel muy woozy so imma head to bed see yall tmrw gn

hi everybody today was tiring bc i had a lot of activities and didn't go home anywhere in between so i left the house at like 6:30 am and came back around 9:15 pm. school was fun and exasperating at the same time. after that i went to my after school club and then went to tkd. after tkd i came home, ate dinner, finished my requirements, and am now tracking/journalling. it is currently 10:50 rn y yo tengo some other stuff to do still. shouldn't take long tho. i'm just looking forward to sleep at this point. gn yall y see u tmrw

well, it's back to school again. as soon as i went back i was piled w hw and assignments, which was expected. i do have a lot of things to look forward to this month as well, although it'll take some work to get there. i rlly want to go to sleep, but i still have some stuff to do before that happens. i try to go to bed as early como sea posible (on school nights, anyway). buenas noches y hasta mañana.

this is my thirteenth journal, and since people can't make up their minds whether the number thirteen is good or bad, i'm just going to say it's a 50/50. today i do feel a lot better. for the most part, i can breathe normal again. i don't wanna jinx it tho so i'm not gonna say more on that. it's very sunny outside and it's the last day of winter break. this kinda weather is perfect for the new year. 

hi yall, today is the start of the cycle and i'm kinda disappointed bc i am in no shape to do requirements. why? porque estoy enferma / naku jvaram vaccindi. on the car ride home from my cousins place i started to feel rlly bad and it just got worse as time progressed. we got home at 3 am and with me being sick combined with sleep deprivation i just could not today. i spent most of today in bed. i have been getting better, and tomorrow hopefully i will be ready to go. 

hola muchachos y lo siento porque I haven’t journaled for some time. so when we last left off (Tuesday) I was in the car for bout 7 hours before we reached our destination n we stayed up til 12 for New Years and then we watched a movie and fell asleep. next morning (Wednesday) i woke up, ate breakfast, played some catch with my cousins outside and then my cousins and my family went to the temple to pray to shiva and ganapati and all that. after we went to a texmex restaurant for lunch we went back home. i played call of duty with my cousin for some time after and then we went to sleep. next morning (Thursday) we went to the new jumanji movie and we went to this one theater and apparently we couldn’t get in if we were under 21 (idr y) and we had already...

this is my tenth journal, so i'm already 1/5 of the way there. i'm leaving in a few minutes and i wanted to take a lil time to journal before i go bc we're gonna be in the car ALL DAY. i'm not gonna be back here until late saturday, but i will be journalling and trying to do requirements and stuff. it's early and i couldn't sleep all night so that's fun. i'll have time to sleep in the car though so its fine. also, happy new years eve to yall and i gotta go so see you later. 

what's up guys i did a bunch of requirements today and i feel great. tomorrow we're going on a road trip to ohio. takes bout 8 hours (i think) to get there, but we'll be there in time to celebrate the new decade w my family and cousins. i was really busy today w requirements n packing n other stuff but i'll work it out. i still got lots td so gn y see yall tmrw

so hi guys imma update you on yesterday too because I didn't journal yesterday. so yesterday was really good. I cleaned the living room and kitchen with my family and we rearranged a bunch of stuff. I also fixed some blinds that for some reason weren't working. it was weird because one side was going up and one wasn't and if you pulled the string in the opposite direction it would do the same thing, but enough on that. my mom and I went on a run out on the trails and I finally got the fresh air I've been wanting and it was so pretty out there. we ran close to 2.5 miles and after I was nauseous for a while. I almost threw up in the bushes and my legs were wobbly for a hot minute but it was cool. it was fun. after that i worked on my essays...

today marks the first week of the black belt cycle. today i woke up, went back to sleep for an hour, finally got out of bed and made breakfast. after eating i did my requirements for the day. we got krispy kreme today, which was strange because my family usually goes dunkin over krispy (idk why, we've always done it that way). my favorite is boston cream/chocolate glazed w cream bUt mY sIsTeR tOoK iT aLrEaDy (i need to stop w the capitalization thing) so i just ate a glazed one. we also played a new board game today, which is another tradition we have. our board game collection is piling up. today it was this game called "Takenoko" and it was so confusing at first we spent half an hour trying to figure out how to play the thing. eventually we got it though. today was a good day but i...

today was chill in contrast to yesterday. after i journalled yesterday my dad wanted me to rake the leaves on our front lawn and i worked on that until sundown. there were so. many. leaves. if i see one more leaf anytime this week/month/year, i think i might scream. i ended up not doing my requirements, but i made up for that today. see you tomorrow, everyone.

merry christmas everyone! my family woke me up around 7 to open presents early. i got a bunch of stuff, and after that i went back to sleep because it was 7. i rewoke up at 9 or 10. it's a really pretty day today and i'll probably do my requirements at the end of the day. for now, i'm just enjoying the sun. i am anticipating new year's because it's the start of the new decade and on the 31st we're going up to ohio to meet up with my cousins. 

hello and merry christmas eve. today was a good day. i woke up and ate breakfast, and after breakfast my mom gave me a talk on how Santa is... well, you know. i mean, i had already knew that years prior but she didn't know that i knew. i guess i faked it well? i don't want to type it because there are some people on the site that still.. well, you know. after that i wrapped presents with her and set an alarm to 3 am  (when everyone else will be asleep) so i could... well, you know. that's enough on that. after that i did my requirements and ate some lunch. i went for a walk with my family today and the weather was really nice. we drove this remote control car around and then i got my ripstik out and did a couple rounds on that. then we went...

and we are back, everyone, to Monday. today was an okay day. i woke up around 11 because i had stayed (staid? staiyd? or maybe staiiyed...) up late last night. after that i sat in bed for some time and then rolled out of bed because i had stuff to do. after i ate breakfast, i was cleaning my room and as I was cleaning it proceeded become a really deep clean. after i was done with that, i did my laundry and my requirements. i tried to do more today bc i didn’t do any requirements yesterday. then i tried to get on the site and chrome said something about an unsafe connection that it had been saying alllllllll day. i figured it would fix itself by the end of the day but NoOoOoOoO it had to pull this stuff. i tried troubleshooting by checking if the certificate for the...

gooooooooooood morning everyone. i'm journalling early today because (last time i'll mention it, i promise. maybe.) iT's mY bIrThDaY. i am pretty excited for this upcoming day and am looking forward to spending a quiet, calm (emphasis on quiet and calm, coughcoughmYsIbLiNgScoughcough) day with my family. no homework, no stress, no nothing. and another thing, and this is totally off topic, but you know how people say pets tend to resemble their owners or that over time owners start to resemble their pets? well, i never believed it until i was hanging out with my pet and i suddenly realized that we look really similar. so that was interesting. i'm gonna go eat breakfast, so adios muchachos y see you tomorrow. 

hello, everyone. it has been six months since i've been on the cycle and i am a first dan, and you know what that means. i am on the cycle again. today was a pretty good day. i woke up and got ready for tkd. tkd was fun and all but i am relieved to be home. after this, i have a friend coming over and (like i haven't said this 10000 times already) it is my birthday tomorrow. i like my birthday because everyone's in a good mood because it's christmas time, but my birthday is far enough from christmas that people will remember it and have time to come to birthday parties and stuff. well, i gotta go. peace out pine lake.

okay, so i said i wasn't journalling again. But i checked my track page and it only says i've done 21 journals, even though i can count all my journals and there are def more than thirty. soooooo i have to do more. i had a really bad day yesterday. i had a big feud with a friend and she's acting really shady, and i have to do something that i'm not necessarily refusing, but that offends me. that's all i can tell you without revealing too many details. and that's all. and another extra detail you didn't ask for- when you want to listen to a really weird song, listen to "bushes of love" by bad lip reading. it's on itunes and spotify. and on that note, i'll end on a song lyric: we've all got a chicken duck woman thing waiting for us.

this is it my last journal i'm not really going to miss journalling. it was kind of a minor inconvenience to my day. but now i'm done. so yay. today was mostly the same. we read to fourth graders about salva dut of a long walk to water. i went to tae kwon do. we played this game iwth poomsaes and stuff. at first it was okay, but when i made one mistake i kept making more because everytime i made a mistake my mind sort of blanked annd i sort of panicked which made me forget minor things like if i had the wrong foot and i know that i know it i just wasn't doing it right because i panicked so much. i almost did the same thing with self defense, but i was okay there. except the last one when master evins said to switch defenders and then...

saturday was a good day.  so i woke up around 7:30, went back to sleep for 20 minutes because i was too lazy to get up, and then dragged myself out of bed. after that i got ready for sparring and bbc that day, and just then as me and my mom were about to leave for sparring, i was like: "wait... where's my book?". so cue a five frantic minutes of looking for it. after i found it (it was in plain sight, i felt so bad) i somehow got to sparring on time despite the heavy rain that day. sparring was tiring. bbc was also tiring. iT dIdN'T hAvE tO bE TiRinG, BuT sOmE pEoPLE DeCidEd tO mAkE iT ThAT wAY. but i got most of my requirements done during and between those classes so thank you. after that i got home at around 12:40 and then i got ready...

sunday. we're up to date. finally. so today i had a bit more time, which is why i am writing this. doing what i'm supposed to do. anywayyyyy today i slept in a little late because the last night i had went to sleep at 1. after i woke up, i ate breakfast, took a shower, and went with my mom to the mall to shop for school clothes. my school has a uniform, so we're only allowed to wear khaki or navy bottoms and only jackets with the school logo and shirts with the school logo. so we went shopping for khaki/navy pants, and after we got them, we were shopping a little more because my mom needed some groceries and a new carpet. so after that, i got home, ate lunch (at about 4) and then i did my requirements, and now i am here. tomorrow will be my...

and this is my friday post friday was normal. i had no school that day (i wrote an earlier version of this post saying i had school and then i remembered i didn't have school that day and i was getting it confused with thursday so heads up if you read the earlier version) and after i woke up, i went to an extracurricular activity. you know the drill if you've read my earlier posts- i'm not going to tell you anything about it.  after that, i got home, did my requirements, ate lunch, cleaned my room, and wrote an essay on the battle of jutland from wwi for a big project that was worth 60 point. which took me some time, so i had to miss bbc at the hartle's. after that i ate dinner and went to sleep. my saturday post will also come shortly. 

sooo i'm going to be journalling four times today. get ready for that. because i haven't journalled for four days. and i admit that was quite irresponsible. but i've been a little busy. so i will be posting what happened on each day i missed.  so thursday! it was pretty normal. i went to black belt class and it was good. I got a lot of candy since it was valentine's day. and i got more candy at bbc because the teacher gave big chocolate hearts to all the girls and not the boys, which was nice for us (the girls). it reminds me of all the times my 5th grade ela teacher blamed the boys for all the problems going on in the class and they almost always got silent lunch and the girls never did get silent lunch. it. was. great. unfair, but great. and that was my thursday,...

hello again. today was okay. and interesting. we did a science lab where we were extracting our own DNA and it was gross. we had to gargle salt water for a minute (and it tasted so horrible) and after we spit it out into a cup, we had to pour some dishwashing liquid and rubbing alcohol into it to form clunmps of our DNA. we could actually see it too, those clumps of our DNA. we could even fish around for them with a tothpick and take them out of the liquid. it. was. disgusting. after i went home, i changed for tae kwon do, went to tae kwon do, had a mentor session, came back, and now i did my requirements and i am eating sushi. so that's all, see you tomorrow. and for all those single pringles out there, give yourself a happy valentines day hug and buy yourself...

i just realized i did a journal 19 twice, so its actually my 23rd journal, not the 22nd. coincidentally, 23 is my lucky number, i like to think. i don't know why so many people like the number 23, but it's a good number. today was boring. normal. nothing really happened today. and people keep telling me i need to have more confidence, which i guess is true. i'm really sensitive about stuff, not in a crybaby way, but more like if someone says something even slightly contradicting, i majorly doubt it. like if i thought i looked really good one day and i ask someone and they say you look good and then they say do you really want me to be honest with you? it's good, not great- i made this all up by the way -i would start to majorly doubt my own feelings about my look and...

hello so today was a bad day until i went home and i went to tae kwon do. i like being at home and at tae kwon do because the people there aren't incompetent. i don't like school just because of the people there (not including my friends) , and also the fact that we have to learn. but i know i have to because if i don't go to school i'll be dumb and i won't get into a good university and if i don't do that i don't get any jobs and BAM i'm homeless. at tae kwon do i helped out, got a few requirements done due to us doing oh poomsae a million times and doing our self defence too. so now i don't have to do any extra when i get home. and let me just say, the people at tkd is what really makes it...

today was a horrible day. i had a horrible day that was really frustrating and arghhhhhhh. i'm not going to get into detail, though because that information is mine to keep. but all you need to know is that today was so frustrating. i hated it. when i have days like these, i make like a certain checkpoint to get to during the day, like if you had a baseball game scheduled but you didn't like baseball, you might just say to wait until the game is over, like a certain checkpoint during the day where you know everything will be good again. tomorrow'll be better, hopefully. goodbye and enjoy your sunday everyone

helloooo i am here after being at a friend's house. me and kaelen and savannah worked on our social studies project together and it was pretty fun. so first we worked on our diorama for an hour or two. i painted the board blue for water, but my friends say i used to much paint. well, excuse me for trying to fill in all the white spaces so it looks complete. after that we sorta kinda brutally cut some army figures limbs off and added red paint for blood and glued them to the board so it looked like they were drowning. then kaelen's parents came and looked at our diorama and her dad said it was too gory, so we took out the blood (reluctantly). after that i added some sea foam by mixing blue and white paint and we were done. after that we played tag outside, but kaelen and...

I'm journaling twice. Again. And I'm actually using proper grammar this time, so get ready. Today was obnoxious-ish. Science was okay. We took a test in math, and in STEM we built gears. It was pretty boring. In art Ms. Webb went on her usual rant. Social Studies was boring. Lunch was a break, I love food so much. Spanish was good/bad. Good because I sit next to my friends and bad because it was so boring and let me just warn you I am going to go on a rant some of the people are so immature i swear its funny at first but it gets old my god how are still not bored with that i would be so bored don't you need some variety in your life oh my god how can you just do the same obnoxious things over and over again like i said i would...

okay, so hi again. today was fine. i'm tired. we had a school club day today. school club day is when we take out one period of our school day to do a club of our choice. the club i am in is math counts, but really i only came for the food (obviously). in other news, thank u, next, ariana grande's new album dropped and my little sister is going to jr. instructor's camp along with my best friend. luci would go to instructors camp, but i think she was already occupied that day. that's what she told me anyway. on other notes, have a good day today and tomorrow!

Part two of journal 18.  So, also, for one of my random acts of kindness for the bbc, i helped a friend. i can't say a lot but someone was bothering her and it was really wrong. some people called her a snitch for telling but she did the right thing because what was happening to her was really really wrong and it needed to be stopped before it got out of hand. at first when i heard when this person was bothering her i wanted to beat them up kindly tell them to stop but we need to be rational, you know? so then we went to the counselor and they got suspended. i felt really good for helping her. it was also random acts of kindness week at our school, so i guess that's bonus kindness points. YOU GET A KINDNESS, YOU GET A KINDNESS, WE ALL GET KINDNESSES!! like that...

so this is part one of what i did one the weekend for week 3 on the tor- black belt cycle. jk if you got that, sorry. moving on. so saturday i went to my competition for that thing i'm not going to tell you about. it was fun. it was cool. we didn't win but whatever. a lot of teams were there from all over nc. and only four went to nationals, so our chances were pretty slim. we worked hard though, and even though we didn't win, we were happy for the teams that did. i met a guy named paul and his rich guy friend (who was wearing versace at the time). they were cool. i had fun with my team at this place where set up these games for you to play. i beat people and lorded it over them. and yes, i am aware that that...

hellooooooo my internet is about to turn off in a minute, again so this is going to be short. so we got to go outside today in ELA and it was really nice bc it was really nice outside and everything. and i had a break from being inside. so that was all. have to go will do a part 2 byeee

hellooo it's me. againn because i forgoot to journallll yesterday. i hope that you're well, did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened? okay. we're done now. so part two of what i did on the weekend. on sunday i woke up, sat around, ate a bagel. after that i went to a class. "a class for what?" you might say. buuuuuuut i'm not going to tell you. again. so after that i got home and did double my requirements since i missed yesterday bc i had this big competition. so after that, i sat around again until the superbowl came on. we watched it for a while but i have school tomorrow so my parents made me go to bed. i'll end this post with two forbidden words. go patriots. 

today was normal. again. sometimes i feel like i'm trapped in the same hamster wheel running the days over and over again. but enough about that. today was so weird for some reason. it's not really about the things that happened during my day, but more like the feeling. it was weird for some reason. i don't know why. some people were randomly sad and happy, and it was strange. and that's it. all I have to say about my day. I can't come to community service tomorrow because I have another thing that goes all day. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is, so don't bother asking. So, in conclusion, goodbye. 

so i have to be quick because my internet shuts down in 2 min. today was normal. a police officer came in science and talked about vaping and negative effects and all that. went to tkd. normal. i said this had to be short, as in really short. hope everyone has a good day, i have to scram before the internet shuts down. bye!

hello again. i didn't have time to journal yesterday so we're going to journal twice today. I just got back from school. The usual. I'm going to taekwondo in about an hour. And I have all of my homework done, so that's good. Life is good. And that's all. But I vaguely remember Master Evins saying that it had to be a paragraph or more, so I'm going to research a weird fact on the internet for more content on this blog. One second. FUN FACT: In England, The Speaker of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom is not allowed to speak. I'm going to go get started on my requirements. See you guys in an hour or two when I journal again.   

hello, guys. It's me. Again. Hi. I told you I was going to journal for a second time, so here I am. journaling. For a second time. So I went to class, but I forgot to get my book signed. Stupid, right? So I'm going to ask tomorrow, and if I get rejected, welp, that's my fault. I shouldn't have been so dumb. Class was fine. I did a mentor session after that. Also fine. I am going to go to sleep now, good night everyone and have a good day tomorrow. 

today was really eventful. first, i woke up at luci's (we were having a sleepover) and then we had breakfast and we went to sparring and bb class. i got some requirements done in between, and then i did community service with my girl scout troop and i went home and finished the rest of my requirements. and for some reason i want sushi? it's weird. but never mind. well, that's all. gooooooooodbye, and don't forget to like and comment and subscribe and follow my twitter, insta, snap, tiktok, tumblr, facebook, and pinterest! just kidding. bye.

hello and monday i'm not saying happy monday because that would be a lie. it's a well known fact that everyone hates mondays. and sometimes you feel sorry for monday because it can be good sometimes, but most of the time you just wanna whack it with a baseball bat. today was normal. wake up. school. home. requirements. homework. that's basically all i did today. in other notes, i read a story about how someone used their washer as a salad spinner. i mean, it's a good concept, but in terms of sanitization and being clean, it's gross because the washer is where you clean your used clothes. you'd be eating used clothes salad. gross. so that's it. have a monday. not a happy monday. just a monday.

happy sunday i thought today was monday. so that was stupid. moving on! today i just sat around, did my requirements, sat around some more. and it was great. because i finally got some sleep. and i'll try to get even more sleep so i don't come to school everyday looking like a vampire that's half melted from the sun. that's pretty much all i have to say because like i said nothing really happened today. except for one more thing- could the websie please have a few updates so that people can't see people's personal information. like one time i was checking the site when i wasn't logged in and i could see my address. i really don't want random people seeing my address, and i think other people wouldn't like that either. so just a request. goodbye and happy mon- nope, it's sunday. 

hello, everybody. i am at luci's house, and you should all know luci, but if don't meet her because she is my best friend but if you try to steal my best friend remember, she is mine. we just went to kickboxing class and black belt class at the Hartle's which was fun. after that we got sushi and we sang all the way home. then i played with yuki, luci's dog, who i suspect is starting to like me better than luci, but if she doesn't she has plenty of time to still like me. we will at sparring and bb class tomorrow, and i wish everyone a good weekend. ... and to not steal my best friend. seriously, don't.

hey hey hey, we're almost a week in the cycle. and i'm sure we're all tired as ever! as much as i would like to rant about how much i want to drop on the floor and just lie there for an hour, i have more important things to do. i hope everyone's day was okay, and my day was the usual. wake up, school, lunch, more school, club, home, requirements, taekwondo, more requirements, dinner,  sleep. and you know why breakfast isn't there? because breakfast is for people who have time in the mornings! but i know it's all gonna be worth it in the end. eyes on the prize, y'know?

i plan to journal like a lot so plan on seeing more of me! i just went to bb class and i came back like 45 minutes ago, i just finished my requirements and logged them. i'm kind of stuck playing catch up with them, but it's okay. i have a plan and everything is going to work out! maybe. i don't know, i'm kind of doubtful. i am going to go to bed. i didn't really appreciate sleep before i knew how great it actually was. i wish i knew sooner. sleep is amazing. goodnight guys, and have a good evening!

it is the end of the day and i am exhausted. i'm always exhausted at the end of the day, though, so i guess it doesn't really matter. I helped out with two or three classes today and i got those credits and i guess it was worth it. i also got some stuff to add to my requirements, so that's good. i have been sorta sick for the past few days (i was out with a fever last tuesday and wednesday) and have been recovering for the past week. everything's gone but the coughing and runny nose. which is really bad because those always take so long to go away for me. but anyway, school was fine. just the same. today was a little more eventful though, because we did a fashion show in spanish where we had to read a script written in spanish by the students while people...

hi again guys we had a two hour delay today and I forgot to journal yesterday and since today I actually have a little more time to do other stuff in the mornings like journal , here we are. so yesterday was school. school was boring. as always. nothing really interesting happened. after that, i had a team practice. "what team"? you ask, but I'm not going to tell you because I do not want to. After that, I had another practice with the swim team, and I scraped myself on the diving board and now I have a big bruise on the side of my arm. In the middle of the two practices, I did my requirements. It really doesn't take that long- only an hour. But maybe that's because I only stay inside and run on my treadmill at home instead of actually going outside. well, happy two hour...

i'm probably to journal a lot, so i can get done with it quickly. i know you're supposed to journal like once a day, and that's what i'm doing. it might seem like a bad attitude to do it just to get done with it, which is not the case. i actually like the journaling part- i just trying to get done with it so i have one less thing to worry about on top of everything. i have a big tendency to stress out a lot and then just brush it off instead of doing it, thinking "it's ok, do it later and don't worry so much". so somehow i'm a big worrier and a procrastinator. trying to get stuff done though, so i don't stress out and then i won't procrastinate and we won't have that whole messy chain thing. today i woke up, ate some breakfast, and then...

hey guys, it's me... again. i was supposed to be done with this a long time ago, but it's fine. if you don't succeed first, try try again! i think that's how it goes, idk. my friend lily is behind me reading this. i don't have the strength to capitalize stuff. either it's non-strength, or just being lazy. i think the latter, really. There's no school tomorrow because of MLK day. should be fun not to wake up on a monday. i just ran my mile on the treadmill- the good thing about it is that it actually tells you how far you run and you can stay inside instead of having to map out a route and everything and having to take rain checks and all that. it's kind of scary- haha, no really scary to do this all over again, but it's fine. just keep swimming, swimming, swimming or whatever...

i forgot to journal yesterday so i'll just do another one today. even though it's 9:44 and i would rather would be doing other stuff right now. like sleeping. buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut no. so let's just do a quick recap of the day. well, i woke up. i ate oatmeal. me and my friend went to an arcade. we annoyed my sister. we came back home. did stuff. i did my requirements. and now i'm here. the end. i hope this was good enough material for a post, because i vaguely remember someone saying that it had to be at least a short paragraph. well, i'm done. enjoy your night or morning or afternoon or whenever you're reading this. 

Usually, I'm creative with titles but today I just stole Andre's idea and just put insert title because I have nothing. Legit nothing. Today was good. My sister had a field trip, and I had to go to school early to drop her off. So I spent 30 or so minutes outside waiting for the school to open its doors. I got a good grade on my math test, and I really am bad at volleyball. I am okay at contour line drawings, and I have social studies homework. And that's all. 

So this weekend, I woke up, and my mom told me there was no class. My brother had a tutoring class at 10 am, so we dropped him off and went to brunch and brought a bunch of stuff back for my brother. He was up to his neck in hash browns and omelettes. So, he didn't really miss out. Then I helped my dad clean out the car, and then helped my mom clean. After that, my parents had a dinner party, so while they were socializing and talking about stuff, I did my requirements. Then I swam in the pool with my little sister and her friend (who was the child of one of the guests at the dinner party). And then I watched Netflix and went to bed. It's been a pretty uneventful weekend. Like, you know, nothing crazy. After I get to journal 30, I don't know...

So this week, I passed all my tests, I did all my homework, and was moderately stressed out. But every week is like this anyway. It's like the same monotonous thing over and over. And like in the title, I have nothing else. Well, goodbye then. -Ritika

So, I had sort of a bad day. I got bitten by my brother, gotten lectured by my parents, and I worry way too much. Like, if people just look at me it looks like I'm not doing anything, but really a million thoughts are running through my head. I always worry too much, though, and I always get that imafailureandpeoplehateyouandyouareworthlessyoudonotdeservetobeonthisearth feeling. I have to just hold on for a few more weeks, I guess. I hope everyone had a better day than I did. don't you hate that feeling when you remember something but it's already too late? -Ritika

I really don''t know what to write. Well, for starters, let's talk about today. Today was relaxing and I swam in my pool. So that's it. School starts tomorrow, I've got a ton on my to do list, and my dark circles can only get so much darker.  back to school, yay! (fake enthusiasm) (it's weird to put facial expressions in parentheses) -Ritika

yesterday I took the physical and written test, and I just got my test scores... I PASSED!! I am so happy. In celebration of this, I'll probably just eat icecream. School's been okay, I'm not failing so that's good. It's sunny, and I just need to relax. Testing is in a week or two... can't believe it! Hope everyone had similar results and are as HAPPY GO LUCKY JUMP OFF THE WALLS as I am.   WOOOOOHOHOHOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!  -Ritika

School was cancelled Friday for me, and it got cancelled Monday too. So now I'm at home. It's sunny today, and it's a nice change from the nonstop rain, and I hope everyone's doing well. The only downside to all this rain is that we will probably have some make up days for the days of school we missed. I also got two extra days to study for a test that was supposed to be on Friday.  but to be honest.... NON STOP RAIN WAS THE WORST. -Ritika

so on friday i celebrated my sister and brother's birthday with family, and now my sister is going to have some friends over and she's going to have a bunch of fun. im also going to have my friend over, so that will be good. I'm really tired. Good night, and please stay safe everyone because Florence is absolutely RAGING outside.  -Ritika

I've been really occupied this past week. I didn't have a chance to go to tae kwon do at all this week. On Tuesday, I had a bunch of homework, on Wednesday, I had no ride so I couldn't go, and on Thursday was my sister's birthday. On top of that, I had more homework, I has tests to study for, and preparing for the physical test and written test. I'm actually studying right now. I found a study set on Quizlet that had all the answers to review. Some of them weren't updated, though. So that needs to be fixed. School got cancelled because of Florence, and I hope everyone's safe. 

I forgot to add in journal 17, i went to a birthday bash today! me and my friends got picked up by her parents and 

I feel like I'm on sudden death mode on super smash bros all the time, as Jaiden Animations said it. You probably didn't get that sentence at all. Oh well. I feel like I'm about to faint/cry all the time. I'm just really stressed out from my packed schedule. Not just taekwondo, but I do a bunch of other stuff too. If anyone else is also really stressed out, talk about it, let it all out, and take a DEEEEEEEEEPPPP breath.  I'm trying not to be too hard on myself. But it's hard not to be hard on myself. And then it keeps going on in an infinite circle.  my brain's not working, and im typing this in the dark -Ritika

Ok, I'm halfway to the journals I'm supposed to do, so yay me... i really don't feel like cheering. There's a bunch of stuff going on, my world is a spinning whirlwind, and I'm waiting for everything to cool down. I am going to India in December to meet all my relatives and have a birthday bash (my birthday's on the 22nd, 3 days before Christmas). I'm probably also going to have a party right here with all my friends, too. I also was invited to two parties. One a Halloween party at my friend, walgreen's, house (obviously not her real name, and I just put walgreen so i wouldn't get sued...) Moving on. I just went to black belt class, and I have to finish my algebra homework and my art assignment... OH MY GOSH MY ART ASSIGNMENT. I just remembered I have so much to do. I am wearing...

Plans change. A lot for me. Like when I said I was going to journal? I had to take a tutoring class and then I went to get my hair cut. I cut 8 inches off and I am donating to Pantene for a little kid to have my beautiful, raven hair. (lucky kid). But enough about my amazing hair. How was everyone's Labor Day weekend? I hope it was fun. It was nice to wake up on Monday and NOT have to go to school. Welp, i have to go now! Oh, I just remembered this, I read this somewhere 2 or 3 years ago: When I'm going to die, these are going to be my last words: I hid a million dollars under the- *dies* It's fun to use asterisks to emphasize something.  For those of you who aren't asterisk people: *asterisk* *asterisk* *asterisk* :)  -Ritika   

So, I didn't have a chance to journal yesterday, so I'm just going to recap yesterday and journal later today to recap today. Yesterday I went to school, celebrated my friend's birthday at lunch, went home, did my requirements, cleaned a little, did my homework, and went to bed at 10:00. So, that's pretty much it. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend! I can't think of a clever ending line... -Ritika

My friend's birthday is tomorrow, if you want, say happy birthday in the comments so she can see that people that she doesn't know still know about her birthday!! I should have worded that differently. It sounds really creepy. Today was good. I went to school, robotics, and tae kwon do.  Looking forward to tomorrow. I sort of have a mental checklist right now of things I need to do. I've never had that before. It's a nice new update to my brain. So, ending on the topic of birthdays, one time at Carowinds, the ride operator's birthday was that day. So he announced over the intercom for the ride "Ok, its my birthday, have fun! skrt skrt!" That's kind of the sound he made, it's the best I can make it on paper.  FELIZ NAVIDAD- oh, i mean cumpleanos to everyone, even if it's not your birthday. Eat cake anyway....

I am writing this really quickly so excuase me if there are any spelling errors. So today was good, black belt cycle's good, I feel like I'm tired all the time, I need to go to bed. And by that I mean I flop onto the soft blatnket and fall asleep while pondering all the problems of the world.  flop. -ritika 

In school, I am researching about European foods. I am up to my neck in sauerkraut. I have two test tomorrow. the black belt cycle is going fine. I have to study. Today was a good day. I might go to black belt class tomorrow. and thats it, because i have to be quick and i'm exhausted.  buh bye. -Ritika

My day went simply enough. I woke up, went back to sleep, woke up again, changed into my school uniform, and went downstairs for breakfast. I paid attention (or at least I tried) in my classes. Then I went to Robotics after school. Then I got picked up, I did my requirements, changed into my tae kwon do uniform, and went there. Then I did my algebra homework and helped out with a class. Then I attended black belt class. After that, I was an awesome cheerleader for grace, and she excelled in her poomsae all because of me. Not because of natural talent, or practice or anything like that. TOTALLY. Then I went home, took a shower, fed my guinea pig, ate dinner, and am now typing this. I'm going to go brush and floss and go to bed.  If you want me to cheer during your poomsaes, call 704-769-CHEER...

Today in gym we did dodgeball. And if you got hit, you did 10 sit-ups and got back in the game. I got out 11 times. I got all of my sit-ups finished. So if you're doing the black belt cycle and you're bad at dodgeball, that's a tip for you. I did class today, then met up with my mentee Brianna. I am tired and I need to do my algebra homework. I'm really glad that P.E. doesn't grade us on athleticism, for all us hopeless non athletic blobs out there. I bid you good day, citizens of Ritikatown. -Ritika  

So, I don't have much time. My  entries are probably going to be shorter since I have a lot to do since school started. For starters, I still have to finish my algebra homework, and write half a page on survival. My first impression with my math teacher was wrong, she was actually pretty nice. My impression with my art teacher didn't change, she's still kind of confusing. I'll get it eventually. Today we did the sit ups and pushups test. I did 40 sit-ups and 28 push-ups in a minute. But compared to King Tiger standards, that's kind of lame. I'll have to work on that. Luci was with me, since she goes to my school, and we did the test together. She beat me in sit-ups by five, but I beat her in pushups by 10. It's nice to have a friend who understands Tae Kwon Do. I think...

Okay, let me start by saying that another day I wrote a journal 5 but that wasn't supposed to be published.. don't know when it was published but I saw it while scrolling through the blog entries and I immediately freaked out. So... that was kind of/really embarrassing. So just... you know... forget about that. MOVING ON!! Today is the first official day of the black belt cycle and sparring class today was really quiet. There wasn't a lot of people there. I also really wish I could've helped out at Master Richie's, but yesterday I found out that I couldn't go. I just hope they're okay. Also, school is starting this Wednesday or Thursday. So... yeah. Ugh. School. I got my schedule yesterday and I was partly excited because when the school year starts I'll see all my friends, partly disappointed because school... and open house is Monday! I usually write...

Ok, two big things happened.  One, school started for me. And  two: the teachers are really intimidating I don't get intimidated that easil-PFFT lies. Everything scares me. Well, not EVERYTHING. But I have a healthy amount of fear. But at school, usually it's okay. But on the first day of school, I had a teacher that scared me. How? Well, I came into the class and she said this: "YOU HAVE TEN DAYS TO SWITCH OUT OF THIS CLASS AND IF YOU DO NOT YOU HAVE TO PASS BECAUSE IT WILL GO ON YOUR HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT AND COLLEGES WILL SEE IT SO THIS CLASS WILL DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE." Imagine something along those lines in an intense voice turned into a teachery lecture. But she's actually pretty nice. First impressions are usually wrong. The other teachers were not that intense, but still intense. But that's just the first day of school...

Before you read this, click on the post to read the whole thing so you get the full effect.  So the cycle starts in three days!! Time to get serious. Cue the music!!! If you clicked on the link, you probably hate me now, don't you? Never mind. So I've given up on my 10 mile in one day goal because it is super unrealistic and I didn't even bother trying to accomplish it anyway. I have been slowly getting adjusted to the requirements now and it's actually not that bad. You just have to set aside an hour or two of your time. I can do that during summer, but I don't know if I can do that at school. I have homework and other extracurriculars. I usually will get to my homework right after school and then go to soccer or diving or whatever. I also do not like going out...

I went to black belt class and sparring yesterday. And personally, I think they are not so bad. But after you spar, you do these crazy workouts when you're already tired from brutally fighting for the past 20 minutes. You just wanna lay there like the hopeless blob you are. At the beginning of class they handed out bracelets in tribute to Master Richie. He died just two months ago. It's really sad. Just goes to show that life is really precious. They also said that they were looking for volunteers to help his wife. I am planning on being a volunteer because I'm pretty good at yard work and doing chores around the house. I've been scared to go on a run because of what happened LAST TIME, but I've gathered enough courage to go. I'll bring a person with me this time, and I'll bring a map so I...

So, a week has passed. And I have done mostly nothing. I'm dissapointed in myself. But, I'm going to black belt class and sparring class tommorow and that's going to bring my stats up, which cheers me up. If only a little. My mother and I went shopping for school supplies. I got new colored pencils and I was so excited about using them (I like drawing) that I unpacked them and have drawn a few masterpieces, created by moi. My drawings used up a lot of the colored pencils, so now they are like a centimeter shorter from sharpening and using them. I've thought what I will be like after the black belt cycle. Like, TOUGH , READY TO TAKE ON ANYTHING, SUPER ATHLETIC, TOTALLY NOT CLUMSY!! Don't get me wrong, I do like sports, (I love water sports like rafting and kayaking because I'm actually good at them). But under that...

I am currently eating chips right now while writing this. Chips are good. You should go try some right now. So, apparently, I read the requirements for this thing and it says that I am supposed to blog at least... 30 times? Yeah, pretty sure it's that. I'm new to this all so I have no idea what in the world to do. Well, I do because of the book, but the book can only tell you so much. I thought I could do this, but now, I have doubts. I went to my first sparring class on Saturday at Master Evins. From what I've gathered, Master Hartle and Master Evins have some similarities, but also subtle differences in the way they teach. Which makes sense, they're different people! But it's been surprisingly easy to get adjusted. I've made a small first effort to get a head start on the cycle....
