Hello Ok day today. I had my weekday black belt class today. There isn't really much to talk about.

Today I was in the bathroom and then some dude touch me with

After practicing what I need to today, I'm now going over my hangul.. still sorta had but I'm getting there

I really enjoyed and made the most of this beautiful day. Enjoyed a very good coffee meeting with our Rector, Rev Sarah Hollar, had a very good Garde Manger class and made it to KT-LKN for BB class & mentor/mentee sessions.

Today I went to black belt class and I learned a new attack and defend form(not the staff one) it was really cool and I liked it. I still need to work in it but I think I get the hang of it. We also worked on wang ho and basic forms. What did you guys do today??? See you guys tomorrow.

Today was very long and I got like no sleep!! I am getting ready to got to bed!, and I am soooo happy to be in bed. Atlanta was fun and boring at the same time. I have not been able to do my requirements for the last 2 days!!!!, I NEED to catch up! I hope that everyone had a great day! I hope that everyone has been keeping up with everything!!

Today I had a mentor session and went over hopkido wang ho 1 red belt and high red belt self defense.  

I had a good day today and now I know wang ho attack and defense. I really think black belt class was really fun.

I had a good mentor session with Master Randle and then Black Belt class. Master Cavazos is very good in making sure we do our stances and kicks are perfect. I like that a lot and working hard to do it perfectly. I am feeling normal and heading to school. Will start running from tomorrow again

It is Friday! That means tomarrow is the weekend...........with classes. Today I do not really get to learn much cause we have a program in the morning then specials the rest of the school day..........then a BB class. YEAH!

Today I was in Atlanta for a school field trip, and it was very cool, but I am now very tired. I hope that everyone had a good day! I hope that everyone has been keeping up with their requirements!

I am keeping the Evins family in my thoughts and prayers this evening. Please take a moment of prayerful silence.

Had a good night of workouts at North Charlotte to night, then in PMAA we did hand to hand techniques that I think are really cool, since we practiced them tonight it helped me remember them, which I needed to practice them anyways :p but all in all both classes were good

Today I took sparring class. I was doing really good in that class. I think that was one of my best classes. I also helped out In a class. See you guys tomorrow.

Today I did self defense so we can look better at self defense and went all of the stripes and one soild red it was fun for dinner we had a chicken with broccoli inside and fish sticks. At school we Compass learning it was sort of fun.

Today I have had a crave for frootloops. They are tasty. 

My day was good I tried out for track but I didn't make it. Well that is ok because I still have next year.

I had a great day at Tae Kwon Do I also had two classes. I had sparring and it was really fun today.

Yesterday was not good. I fell sick and the school called my parents and sent me back home in the morning. I slept the whole day after i came back from school. Woke up in the evening and had a light snack and slept again. Just woke up now. I think my body was really sore and needed a lot of sleep. Finally i am feeling fresh and i will finish all my requirements today.

Today I went to kick boxing and got 20 sparring rounds in. I really like that class because you get a lot of rounds in. I had a great day. What did you guys do today??? See you guys tomorrow.

Today again was Kick Boxing Class, and yet again I got a lot of credits!! But this work out was way more intense that what it normally is, but it was still really fun! I am sorry that this journal was short but it is late and I was almost out of time to write this and I have to get up at 3:30 ish Tom so...... I hope that everyone had a great day! I hope that everyone has been keeping up with everything!

Decent day today. I have a lot of homework. I'm just very stressed out lately, but I am still trying to be onto of my requirements

I had a very good Wednesday as we are cruising along through the cycle. Today's weather added to great day. I hope everyone got out to run and do other requirements.

Today I learend different stuff I learend a new part of speacial self defense and hypokedo 1 through 7 it was fun and I help with yulk in class I had a great time teaching in class but at school today for lunch I got breakfast it was good grits French toast eggs and tatortost

Wow what a beautiful day. I thing I can see spring ,its just around the corner. Today was my last day of a week vacation tomorrow bact to work. O well one more day closer to retirement. Today was beautiful and the body is feeling better after this weekend. I love TKD.

Today I went to two classes and got a lot of stuff done. I cant wait to do testing i'ts five days after my birthday.

my dad made me run for 10 minutes without stopping. It was very tiring but i got to walk the last bit. I still had fun though. ;)

Just plugged in my credits for Instructors Camp. Thank you Master Evins!!! That was very generous. Getting geared up for Wacky Wednesday today.

Yesterday in my Mentor session with Master Randle we went thru all my forms and self defenses. While practicing our Hapkido form i accidentally took down Master Randle. I felt really bad and apologized to her immediately. She said that I am getting stronger too!!

Instructor Camp was awesome! I'm a bit tired, but I'm still moving and I'm grateful for that! No new injuries and the old injuries aren't any worse. I love the pool training (with the exception of that pesky bathing suit part). If I could take my 4th Dan test in the ECU pool, my kicks would be amazing! Thank you Master Evins for the generous credits!

"Thank You!" Master Evins for the generous credits from Instructor's Camp!

Hello. i'm still awake trying to finish a test. A very full day today. ACT, then 2hr rowing practice, then PMAA and then homework. :( Well my sisters are getting on me about requirements, which is good.

Good red belt and up class tonight, still working on fixing the basic things that I now see that I mess up on. Also worked on my forms tonight, just need to fix minor things . And at this moment Im tired, and hungry haha and going to go to bed after I finish a few things and prepare to have a good strong workout day tomorrow .

Today in Hyper Pro I learned and practiced a few new things, but one of the main things that I was trying to work on, was a butterfly kick it was so cool!! I tried my hardest, to try and get it right but I could not do it, and I was not very graceful with it. Instructor Marcus was teaching us how to do it, and when he did it he did it so gracefully; it looked so good. In my PMAA Class I was reviewing some moves and then we started  to work on some other techniques. I felt really bad though, because I was having a little bit of a hard time trying to get a few of the moves down, and I was a little slow; but the reason why I felt bad was because most of the people were doing really good, and they got it...

Today I took a hyper pro class. We worked on 540's and we worked on some black belt stuff. I really enjoy taking hyper pro classes. I also enjoy taking the regular classes too. It is kind of weird but I am liking tae kwon do even more now because I am a black belt and I know more things. Make sure you guys are doing your essays and keeping up on your requirements. See you guys tomorrow.

Today we went through a lot of stuff today we did poomsae self defense and hypokedo. It was fun when I got to go on the computers and played some cool games that I can play. Today we had hotdogs for lunch and salad it is a good meal but people say we should have no more hotdogs but I don't want that.

Today at my after school I was coming in to the building and we I sat down for snack. So the bully I was blogging about was singing and I did not let it bother me and 5 minutes later I was mad

I learned how to do a 750 today and it's really cool. I'm looking forward to learn more about it.

i feel like jello. guess this is what happens when you don't go to swim for a week, then finally go to swim, THEN go to 2 classes of taekwondo the next day. Urgh................

Totally grateful for the credits we earned at Instructor's Camp this weekend. It just adds to the already incredible weekend.

I just spent 4 days caring for my dad who went into hospice. It blew a whole in my training schedule but it was a great gift. A short journal entry is not enough. Planning on writing something more meaningful later.

Had a good day at school and Tae Kwon Do yesterday. I have not run for the last few days as my dad had lot of office work and the weather was not great last week. From today on back to normal run schedule. Its 5am now and I am ready to head out in the next 15 mins for my daily run.

First tonight I need to say ... " Where did February go?".. I think I lost a month somewhere. Feb was a challenging month. Today I was surprisingly not as sore as I thought I might be after this weekend's Instructor's Camp. I am hoping that is a sign of condition improvement on my part. Still working on some food issues, but definitely feeling better all around. I enjoyed this past weekend, and although I wasn't so sore, I did feel pretty tired today. Really, where did Feb. go? I'm behind on a lot of requirements. I'm trying. I have so many irons in the fire, and so many tasks on my plate, and dealing with the illness I've experience last month, I've wondered if maybe I'm not a little looney to even think I can take on so much. But then I think, maybe looney is okay, and why not...

Love Mondays at King Tiger LKN. They are a wonderful marathon from running to classes. I really enjoy every element.

So we got back from Instructors Camp yesterday, I am really tired still today :p haha but still going strong

Today I did three classes in a row. That was not hard for me because I do that most days. I got a ton of requirements in for today and it was great. I learned and practiced hopkido in adult class and I helped in the wang ho class and took family class. What did you guys do and get done today??? See you guys tomorrow.

What a weekend, two days of a awesome instructor camp. To be able to pick up so much information from different Master. I love going back and training with new and old instructor. It is like a family reunion. Hope to see you'll next year.

Today I went to Taekwondo, and I led my 1st class! I felt a little embarrassed, because I forgot that I was the Instructor for a second, and I forgot to say and do a few things, until someone reminded me. But that is ok there is a first time for everything. I hope it goes better next time, but it was very exciting!! I also worked on being more enthusiastic with the kids, and I tried learning some more names. I definitely see a difference when I am more enthusiastic! I hope that everyone had a great day! I hope that everyone has been keeping up with everything!

Hello, ACT Test tomorrow. I'm feeling nervous. But I still have some requirements to do.

I had a good and bad day today mostly bad. I fell running and scraped myself but i'm fine.

Today I was playing a game. The games name was super fighters. It was awesome. I lost a lot and won a lot in the end. Bye 

Wow, what a great weekend! Learned a ton at Instructors Camp and had a great time! It was a very tiring, sweaty, rewarding time. I loved training with folks from the other locations. Kudos to all of the 1st timers there as well, we had a great bunch and they worked hard.

Finally school from today.. All excited and waiting to get back to Tae Kwon Do too.. Seems like a long time since i have been to school and Tae Kwon Do.See you all in the evening

Today I was going over things I needed to do and remembered to get half way on my requirements. I know I need to work on it some more but I think I can finish without auditing.

Instructors Camp was sooooooo fun!!! I really want to do it again next year! I learned so many new things;  but one of the main things that got brought up over and over and over again, was about being enthusiastic when helping and teaching in class. I will definitely try to be more enthusiastic!, I love helping everyone, but I guess sometimes I can be a little down about certain things. I also learned about helping people when they are not in a good mood and when they don't really feel like being there. I LOVED using the stocks with Master Evins; he made it so fun to learn and watch! Another thing I really loved was sparring class, we did not end up doing much, because we lost track of time, but I still had a lot of fun with Master Alphin! It was so cool to see him do...

It is the end of a great weekend. I had a super time at Instructor's camp. Was great seeing folks I've met in the past plus new ones I've met this time... there was SO much to learn. I am exausted now though, I think the weekend has caught up with me ... might take me a day (or two) to recoup ...but ... it was worth it. After a late nap ... A lil TWD now and this ole girl is off to bed. Nite all, have a great week!

Today my sister came back from instructors camp and she told me all about it. I can not wait till next year so I can go to instructors camp. It sounded really fun and cool to go to instructors camp. It was nice having her back. I hope everyone had fun at instructors camp. See you guys tomorrow.

My day was good most of my day was studying social studies test tomorrow. I hope that everybody is caught up the requirements

Today I went to five different stores to buy a Beyblade but they don't have it all over the world no more. I had to vs my brother in pool to get my haircut first but he won againist me I loved today we got smoothes it got nerds in the smoothes

I had a bad day today because people are yelling at me and i'm not even doing anything. And I really don't like it.

Another boring day today. Nothing much except finishing my requirements for the day. The one good thing we did was going out for lunch with our friends. I had a good time at lunch and came back home and finished all my remaining requirements. Looking forward to school tomorrow and Tae Kwon Do in the evening.

I'm getting better at my running. I am taking less brakes and when I do, they are planned so I don't take to long of breaks.

Riding home from another strong energizing Instructors' Camp discussing the multiple take always. For me, the progression of sparring kicks to boast confidence is fantastic.

I watched boyhood with my family (except Heloise). Missing Tae Kwon Do :/

Today was crazy my grandma and grampa got my brother not me we went birthday party and Tokyo the new Buffay. I ate a lot shushi ice cream and chicken I felt sad when my grandma and grampa left me at my house and not get me

I had a great day today and had fun with my cousin. And now i'm doing my journal and minding myself.

Today I went to a party. It was awesome. First we started playing on devices, then we went outside. Then we ate. Then we watched a movie and then we played. We went home after that.  

So tonight we are now just getting ready to start the final portion of instructor's camp. BRING IT ON !!!

I am so upset. I forgot to do my journal yesterday. Also my sister is at instructors camp and so is everyone else. We did not have class last night or this morning and I wish we did. I am doing my exercises and homework. I hope the people at instructors camp are having a good time. See you guys on Monday.

I am doing my homework and I went to little tiger class to help out. have a great day

While the instructors are away at Instructors Camp, I get time to do essays. And other things.

It was a normal day yesterday. Boring without school for such a long time. We are losing 3 days from Spring Break. I finished all my requirements for the day yesterday. No Tae Kown Do today. Will focus on getting my stuff done today and play video games

First night at instructor's camp was great.Short night however.. woke.up at 4a.. never able to go back to sleep. .. today may be long. We are off and running.

Awesome first night at Instructors Camp. Poomsaes with Grand Master Lee, base elements of Il Chang with Master Honeycutt, staff forms & defense withaster Osborne. Not a lot of physical requirements so happy I did some earlier.

Today when I took a shower there was a water bug I couldn't get. I had to get out of school beacuse my stomach hurt and I had to drink ginger ale. Today was going to be fun but my stomach hurted but I'm getting a little better.

Today I am very mad. Today me and my family went to get some take out at steak and shake when I got out the car I told my sister not to play on my tablet and when I came back I was mad because she was playing on it.  

Made it to Greenville. . Looking forward to seeing everyone.. let the training begin!

I had an awesome day today and only had 4 hours of school. And I cant wait to eat pizza.

Getting ready to head out to Greenville NC to train with Grandmaster Lee, gonna be a awesome weekend. :)

I am very excited for instructors camp today!, but I am also very nervous, but that is because I have never been. I am doing my journal now, because I do not know how much time I will have to write it later tonight, plus I might be to tired. I hope that everyone has a fun time at instructors camp (to whoever is going)! I hope that everyone has a great day! I hope that everyone has been keeping up with everything!  

We initially had a 2 hour delay start today but now got a call that schools are closed today again. I am very sure that i will not have any spring break. It is really boring sitting at home. Yesterday i finished all my requirements and then went to play in the snow with my sister and dad.No class tomorrow and it will be extremely boring for the next few days till we get back to school and Tae Kwon DO on Monday.

Today was a good day for the most part. The TSA trip is confirmed and i'll have fun waking up super early. :/ I don't know if i could fir in my requirements bc I think it's the full day.

In really wanted snow but I didn't at the same time. We built a really big fat snowman and we were out in the snow all day. I had a lot.of fun. Also we have a two hour delay. I hope the people that are going to instructors camp have fun. See you guys soon.

I am SO glad we did not get the snow "they" thought we might. Making preparations to be away from home for the weekend and heading to Instructor's Camp. Looking forward to seeing everyone... travel safely all!

So tonight after practicing what I need to, I am packing to get ready for to head down to Instructors Camp down in Greenville NC. Gonna Be a hard weekend but BRING IT ON !!!!

Today it was hard beacuse it's hard when you don't know and no ones round to help. Today we had to stay inside beacuse they just wouldn't let me go outside. I also learned how to make different soups and salads

I had a good day today with a nice workout at Anytime Fitness in Huntersville. Looking forward to seeing much of our King Tiger extended family this weekend at instructors camp. 

Today we had no school, and I actually got outside, and got to play in the snow. It was sooooooo fun!!, we built a snowman taller than me, and the base of the snowman was probably over 60 pounds!! It was crazy fun, and we invited a few of our friends over, and they helped us make the snowman!! I also worked on my exercises, and I got a lot done!! I hope that everyone had a FUN snow day! I hope that everyone has been keeping up with everything! I am also really excited for instructors camp, I am a little nervous though.
