Candidate Journals

Today we did a science experiment about fossils. It was lots of fun. I have sparring class later!

today I went to home school Tae kwon Do. Then I came home and did schoolwork. Now I am on my way back to Tae Kwon Do for 3 more classes. Tonight is sparring. I like that class!

Last night the computer was not working so i could not journal. we spent yesterday afternoon having my mom read to us so while she was reading i got to do tons of push-ups and sit-ups. So i do not have that many left.

Yesterday was a major bad hair day but thankfully it's over. Crazy busy at work, after work stopped at client's to take care of some items - - of course issues - -ended there a couple hours then lifting - -doing some things I should not have been - -and ouch the shoulder nicely reminded me I was making a bad decision. Got home then ended up on a call with client for over an hour. Long and short by time I was done preparing & eating dinner I was toast. No requirements or anything other than good night time. Even thought I am behind I am not going to short cut myself on requirements. I said at the beginning that I would not count any of my walking as running - -unless it was having to power walk a short bit on a run to get thru the run and...

The day was chilly and i had not gotten enough sleep the past night, so the start of my day today was not very good. I had gone to school that day to find it quite easy and relaxed compared to other days. After school, i went to my usual Planet Fitness round and then head over to Tae Kwon Do. On my way there i was held up by a major traffic jam on I-77 that was backed up for 5 miles because of a serious car accident, that took 2ambulances and 3 police cars. It was constant bumper to bumper traffic and it took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to finally reach Tae Kwon Do, after missing my usual class to get my leadership 1 credit in. However, i was able to do my regular mentee session, with the time i had before my normal class, with Ava!...

Have known that things do not always go as planned but come on it's been consisent one step forward then two if not three back. Maybe this cycle was not met to be or its just me trying to juggle too much or I have finally gone completly nuts. Either way I am just going to keep plugging along and get done what it can even if it takes longer than planned. Met with the doc this morning and I am a proud owner of a frozen shoulder. Yup I gave him a look like are you joking! Gave me the techincal name but I was oblivious, just keep it simple doc- - -click those red shoes wave the wand and fix me- - -yup he laughed - - -not going to happen that way.

my weekend was really fun because I got to go to altons grill and it has really good food. I also got to go to kilingtons on got the best sandwich on the planet. I also watched the bills football game and got to eat ice cream cake. the bills lost but I really don't care.

Today I had Band Class and we had to watch a boring video and then take a test on that video so that made for a very boring period

Today I didn't really feel well in the beginning but got better towards the end of the day. I had a test in Spanish and I think I passed it with flying colors.

Today was a terrible Monday at school. Because people were talking the whole grade got silent lunch for the whole week. I wish people would learn when to keep their mouth shut. But otherwise today was a good day.

I have some math essay thingy, do every other week about these boring mathmeticians. This week it's Al Kharizmi. I had a nice day at school, went to the media center with Jooks and my sister.(Jooks is one of my besties) or also known as Jacqueline. I made an imovie trailer of us and my sister described it as "scary" it was pretty funny though.

I had fun at school today and received a math test back that I scored a 100 on. Did my requirements for the day. I am getting ready to go to my brothers soccer practice. After his pratice we will go to scouts.

i just got home and im eating a snack, but im still bored like usual.

just got back from the park and got my mile, pull-ups, and pushups in it was pretty hard to run up and down on the hills I also cut my leg on something

Slow pace, but got my longest run in recent memory in yesterday. Still way behind pace for my half marathon coming up in November. Taking a month off with my torn calf muscle really put me off. 6.5 miles yesterday. Next weekend 8?

What a great Sunday!!! Now just let's see the outcome of the game, not looking good for us. Cooked all morning for tailgate then took my nephew, and his friend, down when they got in town. Stayed for a bit then headed back to the house. Based on what I saw coming home I ran, had to mix some walking in with it, back down to our tailgate spot, got the truck and brought back home, then will head down and get the guys after the game. Only able to get a few requirements in but the ones I got in I am good with. Looking forward to a very productive week and a positive doctor appointment tomorrow.

Today was long.  Did alot of cleaning around the house in preparation for family coming over. I'm apparently not very sore after yesterday. 

Today I Went to church and I got to work the sound board. After church my friend came over to hangout.

Today was an average day I did some requirements watched football and move on with my day so that is how my day went also yesterday with Master Jeffrey Gay was really cool

I had a AWESOME day. I went to the park with my TKD friends and did some sparring and running, plus poomsaes. For the rest of the time there we played tag or was swining.

Today was my b-day and we went to a restaurant, it was fun but I really didn't want to do some requirements

It was such a nice day out today! It made me have a good day today, i was motivated to go to the gym as soon as i woke up and finish my requirements. I have been doing well on my requirements but I am only concerned for my pull-ups. I feel as though even though I am practicing i won't be able to do one by physical test day. Other than that, I have been practicing everything and am able to do them! After the gym, i did my homework and then relaxed the rest of my Sunday!!

Today was my second day of selling soap for my community service project.  Even though most of the people that I planned to see were not home, I still had a good trip.  I am now over 100 dollars.

I had a nice day, my birthday, yah, it was nice. We went to a restaurant, and after that we went to Kerns road, ( one of the properties of land that we own) and visited our neighbors. We saw their adorable goats, they would eat anything, I had taken a really long, flexible branch, and I gave one end to one goat and the other end to the other, and they would just chew, chew, chew. It was pretty cute.

Had a fantastic time at Grandmaster Gay seminar yesterday. Thank you Master Evins for having a open mind and introducing us to different styles of martial arts. Now my shoulder enjoy it so much so it keep me up till about 1. I am investing money in ice packs and Ibuprofen.

Today i cleaned up my room and our play room. my mom said we needed to get the house straightened up so my brother and i cleaned up for a while and then played in the back yard. We played our game of volleyball with beach balls and a soccer goal as our net. I worked on my essays some today with my mom.

Had a great time today at the Grandmaster Gay seminar - -very cool. Requirements had some issues today however for some insane reason I decided to become Forrest today. Got 4 miles in this morning before the seminar then jumped on the treadmill again tonight. Have family coming into town for the game tomorrow so I have a feeling that the weekend is not going to be as productive as I wanted but you never know - - - -.

Right know I'm in bed writing my journal...Today was SO FUN. I hope everyone was there because it was AWSOME we did these really cool palm, back of hand, and calf " hand shake" or at least that's what my sister and I called it. Anyways after we were done Master Evins called my sister and I and I thought it was over, I was odditing, I was just thinking what did we do? Then he called Master Hartle, all three to get the noodles, then I remebered its my birth day tomorrow :)

The seminar today was pretty cool. We learned some really good conditioning drills. My hands are now nice and bruised up. I ended up going to the international festival and got to see some capoeira it was a very cool demo.

The seminar was fun today I learned how to medetade and to condition my hands it was a really good experience to go to a different art and feel like a white belt again

Today I worked on my community service project, by selling the soap that I made for new skill.  I made $84 so far and I will be working on that for the next couple of days.  I am having lots of fun talking to neighbors and telling them about the black belt cycle.  

Grand Master Gays Seminar was today and it was a great! The time went by very fast because the conditioning warm up he taught us was so fun that everyone was very engrossed in it! It didn't feel like 1 hour and 45 minutes! After that seminar was over I went to my normal volunteer shift at CMC main at 2 and then went home to so my requirements!!

Today I went to sparring class and it was Master Shin's birthday so everyone had a donut after class. We all enjoyed it. After class I came home and did my requirements for today and worked on studying for the written test and did some meditation time since we didn't have much going on.
