Good evening everyone, hope your day is going well. I woke up with immense muscle pain from the pre test (even though it was Saturday) mostly my core and arms which is great, a big sign of improvement. I will post my pull ups tomorrow when my arms loosen back up again cause the pain is not letting me do my pull ups correctly.

Good evening, everyone! This week has been good for the most part. My leg has been killing me for the last couple of days, and today it just so happened that I lost my voice. I am trying my best to recover during these times and push through the last week of only the start of my audit. Have a wonderful day!

Today I woke up and I got breakfast.  I was kinda tired all day.   We went to the Panthers game.  They lost but have done better than they have been in a while.  I was kinda upset that I was going to have to go to school tomorrow. But as I was driving home my mom told me school was cancelled due to the damage from the storm.  One the way to the game my aunt called and told us she was able to talk to her husband and he is safe. From the storm.  My aunt is going to try and get home Tuesday. This should be the day my g.  But since they have no power she called to see if we could get some groceries for her and my granddad.  My granddad should be able to go home from the hospital on Tuesday.    Mom went to the store tonight and we are planning on taking these to her tomorrow night.   

🇸🇮So this morning I got up and did mentee session with Aidan and then went to a Panthers game(they lost but not by much) but then I went to Grandma and grandpap's and had burgers🍔🍔🍔🍔 and sausage and tater tots and fries🍟 and then we went to Harris teeter and got ice cream and that's about it 🇸🇮

today, I went two hours to Greenville sc for an escape room and lunch, both of which were closed so we drove two hours BACK home only to go and watch football at 8pm. I’m ready for bed

We decided to go do some escape rooms that we have been wanting to do for awhile. They were in Greenville, SC. I made the reservations and paid for them yesterday. I also made a reservation for lunch. When we got there, the restaurant was closed and so were the escape rooms. In fact all of Greenville was basically shut down because of the hurricane. I didn't realize the extent of the damage, and I wasn't notified by either the restaurant or escape room that they weren't open. Good thing I like driving and have good music to listen to. Watching the Ravens game right now. Pretty good day anyway.

Hello all, today is my last journal of the cycle, and it was nice writing experiences that other people could view and see. After the physical I was pretty much sore, but not as much as the last time I did this, and it felt expected. This is also our last week and I will feel thankful that it is over with. I am going to rest for now, goodnight.

Hi King Tiger Family, Today was a good day. Got a bunch of items finished and have some more to do tomorrow. Loaded all the essays to dropbox. Good to go. Now to finish requirements and get ready for Friday!!! Stay healthy and keep practicing. Take care.

I woke up early and ran the 2 miles then did all the stuff at grand master Evins then I did 2 essays then just chilled the rest of the day. Good night 😴 🌙 everyone.

I woke up early today for the start of our physical test. I got up early so I could start my run sooner than later and manged a decreased time limit from the previous physical, than we did our pushups, sit-ups, v-situps, burpees, high planks, and jump rope. On the test, I knew every answer but forgot some others when we started, the worst thing it was out of order which I knew would be the case. After all was over we had our class and I went home to rest and passed out.

I hope everyone had a super sad and his anxiety for a special Sunday!!! This morning, I got off and packed all my stuff up so I can leave to start my run. When I got there, there’s already at least 10 people running, but they were all seconds or thirds. After I finish my mom mom drove me up to north Charlotte. There we finished our pretest and took the written test. Afterwards, I took Saturday morning, black book class, and then went to get Dunkin’ Donuts. With my friends for the rest of the afternoon And When we came over to my house, we played on my trampoline. When I had to go I had to get ready to go eat dinner at the melting pot for my mom‘s birthday! It was amazing food and when I came back, I hung out with my family! I hope it was...

This morning we had the physical test and the written test and I think I did okay. I beat most of my times and I think I got most of the answers on the written test right. I might have mixed up some of the terminology but I did okay on the rest. Tonight is September fest at church and it's so fun. I love playing Mario kart!!!! 

Today I woke up pretty dang early.  I was not a happy camper.  I really like to sleep in.  I got there early and did my running.  I beat my time.  Then went over to Master Evins school to do the rest of the physical activity and the. The written test.  I am pretty confident I did ok.  Then we went back to lake Norman after we were done because Callen needed a class assist.  I decided to help because it was a really big class and nothing better to do. After that we came home and dropped Callen off.  Then me and my mom went to the store to get water, and snacks for my Aunt and my Granddad.  My grandad is in the hospital and my aunt got stuck down in Spartanburg and has not been able to get back home to Weaverville because of the storms.  Then we...

I feel like today was a huge hurdle that I was able to get over. Post test and written test are done, and I feel pretty confident about my specials, self-defenses and poomsaes. This week I'm going to focus on the hurricane back kick.

Today was the physical and written test, I’m actually surprised how well I did on the run because I’ve been biking the whole cycle, on top of that, I aced my test and really improved my numbers

Yesterday was my birthday. It was so nice of my school district to close so I had the day off...to bad it was for a hurricane.   I went to my last sparring class, for the cycle and it's getting moved to Wednesday   My birthday was quiet. I didn't even get a card from my husband.   Head hurts, I'm going to bed. 

Today, was the big physical test and written test. I think I did well on my written test, and I beat everything on my physical test. Now, it's time to go to testing and show them what we can do. After the tests today, I took class at North Charlotte. I then went to work and helped with all the classes. Then I came home and chilled out and rested for a while, where I called a fried and had something to eat. Then I watched some TV, had dinner, and now I am here. Goodnight, everyone! Good job today.

The physical and written exam is done and I am exhausted. I came home and went back to sleep for a while. I’m really happy with the results I git
Now that the it’s over, and essays are turned it and my book/website are to up today. I feel more prepared to finished the cycle. 
Later today, my partner and I went to Kate skate to and rolled around for a bit.

Today was the final exam (not the overnight) I personally think I did pretty good, my poomsae and bocho spececial and self defense are pretty good, I just gotta work more on geting them fully down.

The run this AM was painful necessary my back is acting up. Did okay with everything else and I think I got a perfect score on the written test. Sitting out from class so my back and rest. 

So, as you all know, the physical and written test are tomorrow, and I am both anxious and nervous about it. I think i will do good on almost all of it. The thing i am anxious about is pullups because even though i have been doing them, i still don't have the best upper body strength. But i think i will do pretty good. See you all there.

today I thought it was going to rain hard but it didn't. Then I went outsidenand played basketball with my friends. Then I ran and hit a pb.  

Had a light sparring class today and spent the majority of the day spending time with my friends online due to the storm. Still studying diligently for my History Midterm this upcoming Tuesday and hope tomorrow runs smoothly as well.

Today I woke up after sleeping in a little later. I didn’t have school in person.  Then I did my school work which did not take very long.  When I was done with that it was still raining so I was stuck inside.  Which kinda sucked.   While inside I worked on some of my stuff. I took breaks to play games with Callen.  Then I went to work but there were not many kids so I just work on my requirements.   Then had rolls and falls and black belt.  Then I came home.  Studied and worked on finishing my essays.   Now heading to bed.  

I hope to do well tomorrow. My friend still has a power outage at her house, so after blackout class I brought her a cooler and a power bank to charge her stuff. I hope she’s OK night. She just says she’s reading because there’s nothing else to do.I think with the essay is done and the physical exam and written exam tomorrow, I feel calmer. I think I was really stressed. We have all the requirements done. But I know I’m ready to advance for the next belt. And I know I’m ready for testing Next Friday. I’m just very nervous.  I also will finish my creative by Sunday. And I will practice it a lot this week at King Tiger to get a feel of the mat

Today, we had a power outage caused by the tropical storm. During the power outage, I worked on requirements and studied for the written test. After the power came back, I logged my progress into the website. Then, I attended a weekend blackbelt class instructed by grandmaster Evins. Also, this is my last journal. It has been good journaling with you all. See you at the final physical and written exam.

Hi King Tiger Family... last week of cycle. Here we go!!! Good luck everyone tomorrow on physical and written tests... then onto the GAME. Practice and be confident. Take care.

Today I woke up and I had e learning so I sighed into my class after e learning I studied a bunch .after I studied I went to black belt class after I went home and ate dinner that’s all for my day peace

Today I had e-learning for school. I got all that done by 9:52. I played in the mud a lot today. At black belt I did self-defense. I have  to get some rest for tomorrow see you later.🥋

Good evening, everyone! This week has been better. I've been doing well in school and haven't been procrastinating on my assignments too much, which is good. My classes seem to be going well, and I'm glad we didn't have school today because my foot has been hurting a lot. I'm not sure if I will go to Black Belt class tomorrow due to my foot, but hopefully it will get better. Today, I finished my requirements and the rest of the day was relaxing. The power went out at my house around 4ish, so I wasn't able to make it to class today. It came back later, around 7, and we decided to go out to eat. Have a wonderful day!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Friday and this excited for a super Saturday!!! Today I got up and took my dog outside. My backyard was already flooded from yesterday, so it was only getting worse. I hope everyone else is OK along with their families. I Made sure all my Essays were finished And then went to taekwondo. After Black book class, I had a mentee session with Jackson and then went home and ate dinner. It was a fantastic Friday for all good night!!! P.S. Today is national forgiveness day!!! ~Magnolia~

Today I was being so focused on my requirements that i didnt have time to do my homework, but its fine' we all need to lock in for tomorrow.

Today I woke up excitingly because school got canceled, I was so happy because I was able to sleep in, and do whatever I needed to do for that day. I had a lot of time to study and do my requirements, and just got to hang out with my family. Then later I had balckbelt class with Master Evins, which was a awesome class. We went over bocho special, 1st Dan special, and 2nd Dan special. Overall great class. Then we had sparring class which was also a great class. That was my day. 

I've spent the day studying, reading, submitting essays, doing requirements, and also working a bit. Tomorrow should be a breeze.

Today was a crazy day, I’m trying to cram in my requirements, studying, homework, and essays all in one day but I did it!!!

Good morning everyone, I wanted to let you guys know that the final exam is tomorrow and dont forget to study. Have a good day 

I got to hangout with friends and finish my midterm review sheet today. School is asynchronous tomorrow but I have already completed all the work, so technically there's nothing much to do tomorrow but sleep.

So close to the end. So many things to wrap up and finished.  Updated the website and matched it with my booklet. Now I know what I need to focus on finishing. I have learned all the forms required for my belt, and I feel pretty good with most things. Weapon forms are probably the one thing I can work more on.  Essays are typed and made a cheat sheet of what I need to review on the study guide.  So I still working on my creative form. I have something that complete and prepare, but there's more I want to add.

Today I realized I didn't have class today, I wasn't given information, however, It was probably because of the heavy rain that was endured for hours during the day. Instead, I did requirements and went to my final sparring of the day. My pants were slightly wet and muddied from the time I got out and headed to the dojang from the vehicle. Another good thing is that all my essays are completed for the cycle.

Today I woke up. I went to school.  Then during second block we were told there was no school on Friday.  So I was very excited because I could do my stuff but also I was sad because I could not go outside to play with my friend.  Instead I have to stay inside and really not do anything.  But then I came home and took a nap.  When I woke up I went to sparring.  It was fun.  After we were done we got some food and came home.  Now I am playing Xbox with my little brother.  

So today I. Got up and went to school.  I got lots of homework.  Oh I got home I went straight to king tiger and took class.  I got my stuff done there  on the way home we got some food for dinner.  

Hi King Tiger Family. I hope you are well. Good night at class tonight and sparring. Got to work on some requirements and worked on Double Stick forms 1 and 2 with Master Marcus. I enjoyed my evening and I need to finish a few items. Then off to bed. Take care. 

In sparring I got hit wrong the day before the final physical test I am worried. almost there

Today when I woke up I went to school for, which was really good, we got dress up for spirit day. Then after a while we have a pep rally, where all the athletes go to our gym and line up, and they get recognized by sport so they, and everyone's cheering and having fun. After we play a game and that's it. In Spanish we were let known that we have no school tomorrow due to heavy rains, because the entrance to the school would be flooded. Then after I went home did some requirements and that was it. 

I ran at the gym today because of the rain. Got me requirements done in spurts between work. I had a mentoring session and went to the 6:00 class while Dylan assisted for that class. Then we came home and studied for the test.

Today was a normal day until I went upstairs to do an hour of self defense and decided I should practice my shoulder rolls, but this time I went sideways and hit my head against the window sill

Today I woke up and got ready for school after school I whent to TKD and did sparring and I also got a menty sesion thats all for my day peace✌🏼

I'm frying through the written test, its going very well, in fact, i have most of the questions memorized!

Today I woke up and came to school. I am currently at school doing this journal right now so not much has happened. This is my last journal entry and this cycle has been good and wonky I learned a lot and want to learn more as a first dan. Okay I'm done now

Today was another interesting day at school because the library teacher knows about a meme I didn't know adults knew about. also a girl has a crush on me. After school, I went to help with testing for the little tigers and then went to youth group where we talked about dueteronomy and I got hit in the nose in dodgeball. But thats all. goodbye.

today i had a half day, and i went to my friends house after school. we played basketball, and plaed ps4 games. then i got home and went to bbc. now im goin to bed.

Got home late today so I decided to take a nap before going to class. Currently working on midterm prep for HIST 1160, hopefully with finish it by tomorrow,

Training day! Warmed up the class and went through some basic blocks, strikes, and stances. Master Burkart drilled us in staff form reviews and shared many testing tips.

Ran 2 quick miles for warmup and started my requirements prior to going to the Dojang to finish up. Worked with Mj on self defense and some basic stance and block movements.

Decided to visit the Dojang everyday for reviews on the coming tests. Written and physical are due on Saturday and so I worked on putting finishing touches on these. Master Wicks and Master Cavasos helped with some peer reviews for my written preps.

  I was not able to make the Sunday morning workout at the mint hill park today due to overworking myself yesterday, spending the entire day at the Dojang. Still I managed to get some stretch in and completed some forms later in the day.

Today I woke up and had a half day at school. After school I finished my last essay for cycle and then got some school work done. I finished my homework then went to practice. I had a good practice, ran by myself which was very peaceful. I then came home, went to church, and now I am here. 

Training day! Went in early for the morning class and joined Master Guru Melegrito’s Filipino Martial Arts class till 12pm. We took a lunch break and came back at 2pm for the instructors seminar which lasted till 6pm. I was worn out by the end of this day!

🇸🇮So this morning I got up and went to feast and we were actually working with jigsaws and we cut out parts of this owl sign that was for the littler kids that for if they get lost in the woods signs will point them back to the building so we also got pretty far with the tempest we are now in act 2. And then later I came home and Trump is actually in town so so part of 485 🛣️was blocked off🚧🚧🚧🚧 so it was a little bit longer of the drive to get home but afterwards I went to fraternus and we had pizza for dinner as usual and that's about it bye 🇸🇮

Almost forgot to write tonite, but got a lot of practice in today, a class assistance and a mentee session.  Almost finished my book. That's all for now.

So today was an early release day which was cool but the back to school picnic got rescheduled due to rain so that’s kinda sad.

Today I woke up to go to school, today was cool because I got to dress up for something we call spirit day. It's where we all dress up as a certain thing and we have like a little competition to see who dressed up the coolest. Other than that we had a great day. After I went to the hospital to visit my grandma, and to see how she was doing, then I went home worked on some requirements and homework, and even some essays, so that was my day.

Tonight I did not have class. We took advantage and went out to dinner. We went to place we have not been in a while. I used the time to study and finish some of my requirements I did not get to finished this morning. I have completed my miles but and still running to improve me pace. It rained tonight so I did not run. It was nice to let my legs and feet rest.  Back at it tomorrow.

I'm working on typing up all of the self defenses which is really helpful!! We had a good day today at co-op. 

So today I woke up and went to school and it was a half day so I got home early.  Since I got home early I went to king tiger earlier  and got all my stuff done earlier.  It is an earlier kinda day.  I might go to bed earlier or not.  

I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday and is excited for a thoughtful Thursday!!! Today I got up and finished my math test during class. I also got halfway done with creating a workout plan and PE. When I got off the bus, I went home and did my homework afterwards. I got ready for taekwondo and took the 6 o’clock class. When I got home I ate dinner and got ready for bed. I hope it was a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful wonderful for all good night!!! P.S. Today is national Daughters day!!! ~Magnolia~

today I  had a substitute Miss Peterson. she is kinda mean.At taekwondo Master Chelley pulled me and Elise for a session so I got an extra session. I went home and my mom made taco meat. It smelled horrible. see you later.🥋

Good evening everyone hope your day is going well. Yesterday I finally finished my written test questions BEFORE you say anything I have a very good reputation for memorizing these types of things. After school every Wednesday I had to memorize a few bible verses for… 8 years, since I was a little kid in pre-k. So I'll be studying, cya!

Today I woke up and went to school.   Everything was normal except today was a half day.   We didn’t have lunch today because we got out early.   Then since it was early release day we didn’t have baseball.  So I came home and play a couple of video games before work.   I went to king tiger for work.  Everthing was a pretty normal day.  

Today I woke up and got ready for school after school I went to taekwondo I toke a class and got a mentor session with master Chelley thats all for my day peace.✌🏼

Today I started to continue studying more of my cycle test sheet. After that, I headed for class assistance and get a refresher of knife specials and understand more of hapkido 5. When I came home I made sure to exercise myself for Saturday preparation. I am also almost finished with all my essays now that I only have a few more left to tidy up.

In band we did a Beethoven song and I was pretty good I forgot what it was called but yeah so goodnight    

Starting to learn a new piano piece independently today and nothing much else of note occurred today.

Today I didn't do much, but tomorrow I have a early release day and then I'll go and train for my basketball tryouts soon. Then ill do my workout for tkd and then I'll do my homework.  

Today, I woke up, went to robotics, did school, and came home. After I got back from school, I realized that there was a belt testing for today and tomorrow, so I am going to a different dojang for a mentor session tomorrow. I then completed my last essay about the book Atomic Habits. Also, this is my second to last journal entry for the black belt cycle. We are so close to being finished. Have a good night.

Today I had a pretty long, but good day. School was pretty good, I got a decent amount done and was fairly productive. I then came home, chilled, took a nap, and then went to run club. I had a pretty good workout and got to talk to my coach about Tae Kwon Do and he told me how excited he was for me. I then came home, ate, showered, and now I am here. 

Tuesday- Journal number 50! I’ve actually done quite a few more but I didn’t realize if I did one in the morning for the day before and one that night it only counts as one! Today was good, got up and did 2 miles but I struggled, I think the foggy air really affected me, hopefully Saturday is nicer. Ready for this weekend!

Hi King Tiger Family. Next to last week of cycle. Still have some things to work on, but feeling better. Got Double stick pretty good, now refining it. My creative is pretty memorized, but now to refine and clean it up. Looking forward to next Friday. Keep up the great work and have a great night. 

Today we had hand ball at PE.  I was doing pretty good and was the goalie a few times and made some saves.  After that I went to lunch.  I had a hamburger.  Then I got picked up at carline. I went to Taekwondo and had a session with Instructor Logan.  Now I'm getting ready for bed.  Have a great day everyone!

🇸🇮So this morning I got up and I wasn't really feeling 100%. So I got breakfast and then I laid down in bed for a little while and then I went to my mom's room and laid down there and then after a little while I was feeling a little bit better. So I went downstairs and made myself some toast and then that made me feel a little bit better and then for the rest of the day I helped out in the class I did A mentee session with Ethan, who's one of my various mentees And we had sloppy joes for dinner and we got muffin mix But that's about it bye🇸🇮

today I woke up got ready for school at school. I had a test and I only missed one question after school. I went to taekwondo. I got a mentee session in and I took two classes when we got home we ate pizza. That was my day. Peace.✌🏼

Today my teacher told me she was gonna be absent  Wednesday through Friday so she gave us a quiz on Friday to do whith are substitute. I got my last mentee session done. I took two classes today. I got home and made pizza for dinner. that was my day. See you later.🥋

Made it through the day, so that felt like an accomplishment. Hightlights were going to class, and helping out, getting in a mentee and mentor session. Running was difficult today because I was having trouble breathing, but I think that's due to stress.
