Journal #7

Today we stayed home so I got to sleep in, which was soo nice. I started on my requirements after lunch so that we could hang out with my cousin/aunt/uncle for dinner. I got to have my favorite Thai Bubble Tea. Tomorrow is BB class, so I have to get up soo early.

Today I wasnt able to do as many of my requirements at camp and we went out to dinner with my family so I had to finish up when I got home. I had my favorite fudge brownie for dessert which always makes me happy.

Journal #5

Today was movie day at camp so we got to watch The Karate Kid. I also was able to do my first mentor session with my Mentee. I went to sparring class and one of the instructors was on the national tkd team, and I sparred her, that was cool. I was so tired after sparring but black belt class is right after so I had to push through. I learned my new stick form then had a session with my mentor and learned my staff form.

Journal #3

Today I went back to summer camp after having last week off. Today was a park day and it was so hot. It was good to see some friends I hadnt seen in awhile. I didnt get to my requirements until I got home so I didnt get to my run until 9pm. Hopefully I can now relax and watch some tv before bed.

Today I am working on my requirements pretty early because my cousins are coming up from FL to visit and I want to be able to hang out with them. The physical stuff is definitely more difficult this time around, but I will get it done.
