First day of school! I spent much of the morning helping my kid get ready for their first day of school, so I didn't get done what I want. and then the bus was over 20 minutes late, and traffic was rough getting to the office, so even during the day requirements work is out. But today is a day without organized TKD, so I'll be able to do most of my requirements tonight.
Dropped the kids off for their first day of school this morning. I felt pretty energetic when I got back and had a nice run before knocking out my physical requirements. I still have to be careful of my neck, but I put the time in. We'll see how class goes tonight
Today I will be helping out with the lower belt class and maybe get a leadership credit, a mentor session, and a mentee session. I really hope that i will get to help out with white belts again.
Today started out pretty good. I was able to get some rest last night and watch some sports. My wife had us go to a skating event with my church and I’have not been skating in years, so my shins were very sore for most of the day not to mention my skates were huge because I have ginormous feet This afternoon after church I came in and completed an essay for school, then I went on a walk with my kids for a bit. I’m really from there. I can put in my requirements and it was pretty much downhill for the rest of the evening because I have to work tonight
Today I got on a USATKD zoom meeting about nutrition for competition. I watched a little bit of my sisters' soccer game, went and ordered some new shoes and got a new swimsuit. I also replaced my sunglasses that I got in California that I proceeded to lose right afterwards. I worked on Double Stick 2. Hopefully I can make it look nice by the end of this week. Anyway, goodnight y'all!
August 24 - Entry #16 Today was one of my "off" days.. no school, no class, just a chill day. We woke up and went to Carowinds. We had express passes so we got to cut the lines and ride way more rides. We rode the Fury 325 first.. my mom was pretty nervous because she hasnt been on a roller-coaster in around 15-20 years. But, she toughed it out and did pretty good! Her and dad even rode most of the other rides with me and my sister. It started raining about 20 minutes before time for the park to close. But, we still had a lot of fun! It turned out to be a really good family day. Got some requirements in once we got home then showered and got ready for bed. Have a test tomorrow at school.. im kinda nervous. Not to mention its a Monday.
Today we came home from Atlanta and I forgot to journal yesterday because we got to the hotel really late after the game. After we got home I chilled for a bit then went to my youth group and then I went to run. Then I finished an essay. Goodnight.
Today I woke up really late and went on a run. After I got home I got some food and finished some weekend homework for spanish. Then I did the rest on my requirements and watched a movie. Now im gonna go to bed.
Today was my rest day! I slept in and had some leftovers for brunch. I started packing my school bag because my first day of school is tomorrow. Later I got ready to go to my friend’s birthday party. She is my childhood friend since I was a baby and these twins were also our friends like that, so it was just us. We were first at her house and then her mom took us all to birkdale. We didn’t really know what to do most of the time and just looked at stores and then left. We got dinner at a pizza place and we made funny jokes there so that was fun. It was till evening and then I came home and had a nice long shower and picked out my outfit and everything. I am pretty nervous for tomorrow since it’s my first day of high school. Mostly...
My day was good. After I went to church I went to my friend's birthday Party we went to Airsoft never held a BB gun in my life But I got people out. I was aiming at someone else but the sniper (rifle) bb Gun dude with his Camoflauge suit raised his hand up and walked to the exit so I am assuming i got him out so that's good. That was a pretty fun experience for my first time there. And then I went home did my exercises and I realaxed.
Today was a normal day. First I woke up and then I got ready because my dads friend was coming over and he had lunch with us. After he left I read a book for sometime and then I had music class. Finally after music class I went and played volleyball with my friends.
Today was spent doing prep work before school tmr. Folding clothes, cleaning, packing, etc. Im glad I took time to get ahead on things before school starts to hold me back from doing cycle requirements.
I forgot to journal yesterday because we went to my sisters dance recital and after that we had dinner at our neighbors house so we got home pretty late and i forgot to do a journal. Anyways today i didnt really do much I just did my requirements also I rode my bike to get the mail and it was good weather outside. I also worked on a project for school. Then i played volleyball with my friends and came home and showered and ate dinner thats it byeee
Today I didn't really do much. What I basically did was do requirements basically all day, I got some homework done, and I got in my pool to relax a little. Today was a rather relaxation day.

Instead, me and my mom rode around and spent the day hanging out. we talked for hours and then we went to Lunchbox records in charlotte. i bought 5 albums and then dropped off a gift at my girlfriends house. i came home and my mom made burgers for dinner. now im getting ready for school tomorrow.

Later I went to go do my 2 miles and my requirements. Then I went home after my requirements and miles and played with Cheeto my cat a bit. But right now im about to go to my moms house. But anyways today was great.
Today was another relaxing day. Got up at 12 and relaxed for a little, my mom went to get groceries so I did my exercises. I also did poomsaes and self defense since she took a while to get here. After she got back I helped her take groceries in and washed my hair and watched church. I finished requirements quickly after. I relaxed for a long time and then ran my 1.5 miles. Now i'm relaxing having to get ready for school :(. Bye

I hope I can run with my dad tonight. I am behind in running. On Monday I want to get a leadership credit and a mentee session. Se y’all tomorrow!
neck is stiff. it hurts if I move my head towards the right or my ear towards my shoulder. I was able to get most of my requirements done today although more slowly than usual. I skipped burpees and jump rope. I'll have to modify some things this week.
Today I woke up early to goto the park for practice with my mentor but on the way there my dad called because he car broke down. We had to go pick him up and run around to get the things he needed to get it going. After lunch I met with my mentee at a different park and had a session with her.
Today we have mass this morning and then we're going to our church's homeschool ministry back to school picnic this evening, which should be nice get to see some people that we know.
I know it's 1:30 in the morning, but I just had a long day and it stretched into the morning. So I didn't go to black belt class because I stayed up till 3 in the morning to watch a my sister's high school football game and get something to eat at Midnight Diner. So I couldn't really handle that. Today I got my hair done for school, and in between I did all my requirements. My outer family came over to my house and they stayed until 1 in the morning. so I'm here late writing this about to go to bed.
Today I went to the Poke Fest and looked at some more Pokemon Cards (and got a few, including a shiny Kingambit). I am still working on essay work before school starts up, and had a good black belt class this morning. Classes today went well, and it was a little less hectic despite Saturday mornings being our busiest time. I emailed the University of Minnesota's Taekwondo club to see if I could go over there to train while I'm up there as well. Anyway, I will see everyone later!
Today was spent getting with more book work so im not worried about it as school starts. I still am a bit behind on some of it but its nice to know I have 4+ weeks to get more done.
Today I went to black belt class after that I did some requirements after that I folded my laundry and put it away after that I played with some friends.
Today was a relaxing day. I took a day off from classes to get ready for school on Monday. I got up and joined a live stream on Roblox where there were two events against each other. It was fun and I got some rewards from the events. I went to get a haircut and then stopped by to see my uncle. After that we stopped by Target and came back home. I took a nap and then woke up and did my requirements. I feel like my poomsaes are looking good and I need to focus more on self defense. After I practiced I played online and talked with my friend for a while. After dinner I just relaxed. My mom keeps trying to talk about getting ready for school but I'm not ready to think about going back on Monday. I hope everyone has a good night Bye:)
Full day at the beach, I never know how vacation is going to go. Got in about a 3 mile run, and did our poomsae in the gym, this hotel had a nice big area Abigail and I could work, here’s hoping we can keep up everyday!
This morning I woke up early to go to black belt class. After class, I got some leadership credits in the family class. Once I got home I got started on requirements and did requirements all afternoon. Now I'm just hanging at home.
August 23 - Entry #15 Woke up and went to black belt class this morning. Came home for a little bit after, then we headed to my great grandparents house to have a birthday celebration for my great grandma. We were going to swim but the water was pretty cold so we decided not to. After the celebration was over, we came home and relaxed for a while. Got some requirements in before bed. Going to Carowinds in the morning so im excited for that. Im gonna ride every ride 500000000 times!

After that me my mom and my dad went to the bigfoot festivel and I got a labubu with clothing which I thought was pretty cool plus we got kettle corn. Then we went home and I did my requirements at my dads house, soon after I fed my milksnake and chilled out. But overall today was amazing.

Today marks the beginning of week 7. I did a blackbelt class this am, which was great, and then assisted in the next class. After that I found a new mentee, because my last mentee just got his bocho and i might not see him for awhile. Later, Dylan and I went to Brickhouse to watch football and eat wings.
Today I went to blackbelt class then helped out at saturday morning. After this, I went home and packed for my first day of school monday. Then I went to Brickhouse to watch the Ravens game. That's pretty much all for today.
my head bounced off the map today while practicing hapkido 3 during BB class. I went for a ruck after class and by the time I got back to the parking lot I couldn't move my neck. Urgent Care diagnosed whiplash and prescribed some meds. I'm chilling on the couch now and will probably take most of tomorrow off. The doctor said no TKD for four weeks. hahahaha
The world is noisy, life is busy, but in the do jang, in the moment, there is only the breath, the strike, the step. Focus clears away distraction. With focus, every movement becomes truth.
Today is Saturday. I did some of my stuff already. Just trying to get everything done fast. I already did all my tae-kwon-do stuff. I still have to do a few things. I have to vacuum my moms car. My voice is still out. It's probably a little worse than last night. Because last night I could talk a lot. But now I can't really do that.
It was a good day partnered with Master Burkart for black belt class. We worked hard on the hapkidos and self defenses that Master Evins had us doing. I've been home for a short spell and did my physical requirements. I'll be spending the evening at a housewarming party for some old friends, so I have to get the rest of everything done before then.
Today i went to my black belt class and helped with the lower belt class. I go a leadership credit, class assistance, a mentor session, and a mentee session.
Today i woke up early and did requirements and i went to school and black belt class and sparring. Then i ate dinner and played a game with my friend. i am going to atlanta tomorrow. Goodnight.
I was going to go to Harrisburg for class but ultimately decided not to, since I still needed to work on Double Stick 2. I am trying to get that down and commit it to memory as much as possible. I have the recordings for it, but it is kind of fast. Other than class, I went to the gym, got cycle workouts done. and got breakfast with my sisters. Not much happened today, but I am grateful for having a chill day.
Got my requirements done early so I could have some prep time for 8:00 am class. I have been practicing so much self defense I feel like my forms have been lacking.
This morning I had black belt class. We worked on hopkito, choreyo and bo cho self defense. I’ve been getting better at hopkito. Afterwards, I finished off the physical requirements before my piano class at 10:30. I want to learn a new piece for my dad’s birthday. He loves me playing piano. I’ve been missing a lot of piano classes lately, so I’ve been missing it. Then I came back and finished my run. I ate and had a quick shower becuase I had to get dressed for my dance recital. I do Indian classical dance, bharatanatyam, and the costume, hair and everything is complex. My mom got me ready pretty quickly though. I spent basically the rest of my day at the recital place because I was preforming 2 dances and I had to do a costume change and then wait for a long time because there are 2 genres/sections...
August 22 - Entry #14 Woke up and went to school. Came home and took a nap. After napping, I played some video games, did requirements, and ate dinner. Relaxed the rest of the day. Getting ready for bed now.. got another early morning for Saturday black belt class.
Today after football I got chipotle with my friend. I got a game tomorrow. I’m watching football now.
Today was my sister’s birthday yay. So first I went to school then after that I did my requirements then I went to black belt class after that we went to our grandparents house to celebrate my sister’s birthday.
this is it. the weekend before school. I unfortunatley have to shuffle my classes because I am being forced to take chem & physics at the same time I do like math so i'll probably enjoy the course rigor, however I just wish I had more of a say in this fact.
Today I slept in until 1:00PM so I didn't have a lot of time to spare but I did have enough time to do my requirements and rebuild a LEGO set before sparring. After my time was up I went to sparring class and had a fun time.
Today was fun. At school on fridays we usually have hour classes before lunch, then after lunch we do a lot of different activities. Today we did this thing where we went to all the different rooms and played different games. Our team lost most of them but they were really fun. My favorite was this game where you had a stack of cups and you had to throw paper balls at the other teams tower to try and knock it down and the other person can block it but only with one hand. It was really fun and i was good at the blocking part but not the throwing part because I dont have really good aim. After that we went to our first day of clubs. i got into art club and we just talked about what we wanted to do and then people volunteered to run for club...
Today was ok. I got up and did almost all my requirements. My mom came back home early since she said I was not answering my phone. I relaxed for a good time. My mom came downstairs and unplugged the ps5. She said I had to practice and finish requirements. When I finished my exercises she said I still had to practice even though I didn't do my mile. I had ran out of time because of this. I went to class and took black belt class and sparring. For black belt class we did way more curriculum than normal, which was really good. I still need to work on 1st dan self defense and have time set with Master Foster for Monday. In sparring we did some new drills today which was nice. After class I went to Jim and Nicks and ran when I got home. Now I am relaxing...
today was really boring. i had my first blueprinting class and then sat in my car until 11am which is when my next class started. after school i came home, got ready, and went to TKD. i left that and got some dinner. now im gonna relax.
Today we had our pep-ralley. It was an hour and a half long. And it was the best pep-ralley I ever attended. I got to compete in a team competition. We lost though. It was still close. But the pep-ralley was so fun. I lost my voice because I was yelling so much. And I came home and went to taekwondo. Then I did sparring. That was fun. And I don’t have to run today. So that's good.
Midnight tonight will mark the half-way point of the cycle. Are you where you need to be? Have you taken an honest assessment of all your requirements - poomsae, self-defense, weapons forms - and made notes on what you need to work on? The better everyone knows their stuff on testing night, the more sleep we'll get. Come prepared.
Hi today I went to school and went to king tiger after school as soon as I got there Caleb asked me to help out with little tigers cause we're a little under staffed then I took BBC then I went to eat well that was all byyyy.
went to school, came back and immediately went to taekwondo, from there i did some requirements and im now writing this journal, so i didnt really do much. today was black belt class though which was pretty fun.
Today when I woke up for school, I remembered I had my back to school dance or I got into black and purple clothes because my friend group decided he should wear black and purple. At the dance, I bought pizza and water after the dance I went to King Tiger to do Black belt class then I went to go eat dinner and now I’m at home that’s really it bye.
Today I went to school and today we all had our BOY pretest and it was hard. After that I went to my dads house and did my requirements which was pretty fun, then I went to practice riding my bike, soon after I ate diner and chilled. But today otherwise it was a pretty good day.
Today was the last day of the first week of school. I have completed all my assignments and tkd requirements. I just finished the digital detox essay today.
Today I had two quizzes and I thought that they were pretty easy so I hope that I got a good grade on both. After school I got this big headache so I couldn’t go to the first football game tonight, but it’s ok because I am going tomorrow to get my MRI to make sure my head is ok. Now i am gonna go to sleep.
Tonight i ran one mile with my dad. I wasn’t able to go to today’s class but I will go to tomorrow’s class.
Today we had a pretty normal school day and I was glad that it had rained overnight because Theo's pumpkin plants have started to flower. But I'm very upset with myself because I left a couple books outside and they got drenched which is very disappointing.
It was a pretty good day at work today. I was productive but able to slip away in short spurts to get requirements done. I'm making good progress but still struggling with Hapkido. They're very hard to practice in the air by yourself. On a completely unrelated note, it's my brother's birthday today, and we had a great chat when I called him.
Day 2 of color belt testing! My car broke down again (It seems to have done so a lot this summer), so my sisters had to use the Prius to get to school, and I was left with no car, so I had to ride my bike to work. Testing today had more people than yesterday, which is to be expected, especially with the red and high red belt testing at the end of the day. I ended up staying at the dojang until around 8:30, so I got home pretty late. We have 5 new bocho dan belts, so I hope to see them at future black belt classes.
Today at school I had a test and it was kinda easy and my day was ok but after school I went home and chilled and ate chicken sandwiches which were good. That's all goodnight.
I started my requirements around noon. After that I had lunch and then I went on my run and then I had to get ready to go to my open house for school. The school is big! I went out for dinner with my family. We took our dog too.
Today was the first day of school. It went ok. I did some of my run during recess, around the track. After afercare, I help with a jr tigers class and finished my requirements after dinner.
First thing thing in the morning I got up went to school, after that I got home did some homework after that I went to go help with testing. Then I got home and did my requirements.
today at school i had late arrival, band, and bible class. then after school, i came home, got cleaned up, and went to work. after work, i went to jimmy johns, came home and did requirements, and now im headed to bed.
today i woke up i went to school then i went to sparing class and practiced my rolls and falls now im sadistfied with what i did and going to sleep.
Today I had school and soccer practice. After, I went and helped out with color belt testing. I wanted to break a board so bad. I wanted to smash like 3 boards over my leg because I thought it would be fun. Tomorrow, I have a soccer game at our school's archrival. I'm guessing that game is gonna be chaotic. Anyways, I gotta get rest. Goodnight!
I woke up at 12 and I wanted to go back to sleep but my sister wanted me to make her food. This was kind of annoying, but I made her some hashbrowns, like always. an hour later my dad asks me and my sisters what we want for lunch. We got cookout, and it was soooo good. I finished all of my requirements and after a while I went to my open house for my school, I met my teachers who were pretty cool, especially my social studies teacher. I also got some sno-cones after. It was a pretty good day. I just need to finish my clothes so see you later.
Today I went to the gym and worked on arms and shoulders. After the gym I went back home to do math homework. when I was done I went to TKD to help out. after I was done helping I went to go get pizza.
So today was tiring and the main thing in the morning was school obviously and in the afternoon / evening there was testing I helped out at the 4:00 and futzed around for most of the 6:00 but it was still pretty tiring anyway bye
This week has been busy but calmer than last week, which I appreciate we've had color belt testing the last two days. I always really enjoy watching the color belts test, especially board breaking. It's just super fun to watch and it helps me keep in mind my goal to be able to break two bricks this black belt testing! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
So today was a normal day at school except they assigned us 3x as much homework as yesterday, after school I went home and got my homework and requirements done, had dinner, then went to assist at taekwondo.
I forgot to journal yesterday but i kinda forgot what i did. I like journaling because it helps me remember things i did throughout the day that I would have otherwise forgot. Anyways today was just a normal day at school. At the end of the day we went outside because our teacher wanted to play hot potato but some people got really competitive and throwing the ball really hard so we had to go back inside. I like how even though I'm literally in an Early college we do a lot of things that are like sterotypically for younger kids (like playing games or doing fun activities) but it really just helps us relax and be more connected with each other so thats nice. It also makes regular high school look scary so i know why a lot of my friends that go to regular high school think its weird...
Today was a normal day. First I went to school and came back. Then I ate a snack and went to Ulta Beauty to buy some makeup for my dance recital. After that I came home and did my requirements and did my dance practice. Lastly I did my homework and went for a walk with my friends.
today I woke up did my Requirements then went to tkd after I ran and then showed. I didn’t do sparring because of color belt testing. Nightt!!
Hi today I went to school then went on the king tiger van to king tiger. After that I watched a movie at TKD then I went home and did my requirements well now I'm eating dinner byy.
Worked with some of our color belts on getting ready for testing. Its always nice to see them finally grasp a move or that "ah-ha" moment when they finally understand how to execute something properly.
So today I woke up and I got ready for school. And after school, I went to King Tiger after school and had snack then my dad picked me up and I went home. Then I got Crumbl cookie. And then I had dinner. Bye-bye😋
My day was good. I woke up I went to school. After school i did my exercises and my run then I went to the Dojang for sparring that was a good work out. And yeah that's my day.
