Candidate Journals

Today was a busy day. School was fine but afterwards I had to meet with my mentee, go to sparring and black belt class as well as meet with my mentor after class. Went home and ate dinner and had a few minutes to play video games.

Went to school  watch a movie in ag and did a tornado drill and had 2 subes and went outside in gym and no  Taekwondo. 

Couldn’t get requirements done yesterday because I had people over for the whole day, but I tried to make that up today. I helped out the high belt class, which was smaller than usual today. I like helping out these classes it’s pretty fun

My day was very tiring i had a long day of school and in gym class i hit a new pr for squats 205lbs while fasting. Then later I did my homework and went to black belt class.

War huh good god. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, nothing, say it again. That seems relevant for the day.

Started the day with a good workout. Kicked my butt but in a good and productive sort of way. Worked with several different belt levels today but white with black and high white have been on my dance card a lot. Lots of work on stances, today back stance was the stance of the day. Hope everyone has a good Thursday!

I woke up, did requirements, and then went to school. I practiced for my wind ensemble auditions. I practiced science olympiad and then I went home and studied for tests.

Today was a good day. I woke up and went to school which was tiring after a day off Tuesday. After that I went home and ran 3 miles although it was pretty hot out today. After I went to Taekwondo where I mentored someone before sparring then attended sparring and BBC.

Today was a good day.  I had a math quiz and I think I did good on it. I assisted with a class, did black belt class, mentor session, and sparring. 

Today was a normal Wednesday, honestly. Since Wednesdays are async, I had more time to get my work done. After finishing that, I had an eye appointment — it went well, and I guess I still need glasses for screens, lol. After that, my mom and I walked for a while and got around 2.5 miles in. When we got home, I randomly fell asleep for some reason. I had my Math 1 small groups today too, which was actually pretty fun. Once I woke up, I practiced a bit before showering and walking to taekwondo. I got there early for a mentor session with Master Weeks. We spent most of the time working on our double‑stick sinawalis and Bo‑Cho self‑defenses. After that, I helped with the Senior Tigers class — we did sparring drills since it’s sparring week. Then I helped with Junior Tigers, but had to stop halfway because...

Today was simple. We had a field trip in school today so I missed my running. After school I had to do my running but I couldn’t go to taekwondo because my sister and mom were at work and they took the cars out. After I did my requirements I watched a show and ate dinner and now I’m going to bed.

Today was not that good. I was tired the whole day and had cold, cough and shivering. My eyes were paining and I didn’t want to sleep, but it felt good when I did. Weird. And school was also to much work because my whole body was tired, and I didn’t want to do anything. I was also trying to do my requirements but every time I did a move I my eyes would hurt for some reason. This is the worst feeling. Hope tomorrow is better and I can go to sparring 

I am missing my routine of working and then going to Taekwondo class.  I can't wait to come back home and pick up classes again.  Having routines is not only good for the mind but also for the soul.  Practice hard this week my fellow people on cycle!!

Today was a good day. I had fun at school even though we did a lot of math. I did my my white belt challenge in taekwondo class today and it felt weird being in the back. After class my grandfather grilled some hot dogs for dinner and we worked on my poomsaes.

My day was good i just had school i did good in it then i came home practiced some taekwando then I went to taekwando i mentored my friend and took class.

Today was a lot of fun. I had school off today so I got to sleep in which felt really good. I’m still recovering from Instructor’s camp. It’s crazy how one long day can throw you off so much. Then, I went on a run before my friend came over. Me and my friend hung out for a bit. Then, I went to run some fun errands with my mom. We went to Target and Old Navy. I got some cool new stuff. When we got home I ate a delicious dinner and relaxed for the rest of the night. I can’t believe the post-test is only in two weeks…We’re on the home stretch everyone! Keep it up! 

For ninja today I had a walk in for the first class and a kid trying it for the first time in the second class. They both did great and were already pretty athletic so they had no problem with the exercises and practice that I had them do. After ninja, I had to teach my class at the dojang which we mainly worked on curriculum review for testing which is on Wednesday and Thursday. 

Everything has been going well. I tired bud I sleep well.

Today I went to school and was tired the entire day. Then I went to taekwondo and got class assistance 

Yesterday, I knew it was absolutely a Monday but for some reason when I woke up this morning, I had it in my head that today was Wednesday. I had planned out my day in my mind and completely forgot about all of my activities today until I checked my calendar at lunch and realized I had a club this afternoon and Scout COH (Court of Honor which is basically an award ceremony) tonight. That just threw off my day lol but everything else was fine! I've been working pretty hard on an English project I have to present next week :( and trying to get ahead on requirements because we only have about 3.5 weeks left of cycle!! Woohoo, I'm so excited for this to be over! I don't know about anyone else who has been on cycle before but I like to plan to start finishing all my requirements...

Today was a better day than yesterday. I didn't have school today, so I just chilled at home and did other stuff. I finished my physical requirements earlier than usual today, so that was good. I also had one paper assignment from yesterday that I finished today, but it was kind of long. I had tryouts today for school in baseball, and I did really well. We did so much running and fielding stuff. I came home and couldn't check if I made the team because I had to go straight to Taekwondo, so I got changed and headed there. I got my leadership credit, which is what I need, and then just arrived home. I found out that I made the team for baseball, and I was really happy. 

Today was a good day. I had school off which was nice after a long day yesterday. I woke up and cooked a egg in a basketball as well as french toast. After I was able to run 3 miles and get all my physical requirements done before 12:00. I then studied for the Taekwondo test. After I went to assist the 6:15-7:00 class.

Today was a regular Tuesday, honestly. Since there was no school, I had more time to work and practice. I didn’t go to taekwondo, but I spent a good amount of time working on my essays. I studied for a bit and went out for a jog before doing my requirements. Not much really happened today — just a steady, quiet day, and I’m pretty tired. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷    

Today was quite a lowkey day. I did not have school today because juniors and seniors have ACT testing. Although no school was in session, I spent a lot of time studying because the end of the quarter is Friday and I have a quarter final for my math class and my AP Environmental Science class. preparing for those tests are going to take a lot of time out of my evenings this week. Knowing all of this I spent some extra time doing requirements to try and get ahead so I would not have to worry about requirements as much as I normally would. I hope everything goes according to my plan. - Lucas

Today was really good we had no school because of some government thing and i went skiing this weekend i had a lot of wipe outs and falls because it was my first time so it was rough and now im still sore which im glad had no school for a healing mentally and phyisically day

today was chill. I got to see my friends. we played a new game called cockroach. 4 out of 5 stars. would have done day again :) :) :) :)

I had to go to the eye dr over the weekend and they say I need glasses for some stuff, so not sure about that but think I found a pair I like. I got to go fishing with my dad so that was fun and looking forward to a weekend fun at the soccer game. 

OOF yesterday was a day.  Between working and working out I am taking care of my elderly mother, and it takes a toll on the mind.  Love my mom but I never want to grow old and have my kiddo deal with this.  The one thing that made me happy was I was working through Il and Yi Chong and my mom wanted to learn the arm movements.  While she didn't understand all the movements, she gave it a go and smiled and laughed the whole time.

Had to catch up a lot in school today, since I basically missed like 2 days worth of notes/assignments. When I got home I was super sleepy but I pushed on and got my requirements done. Surprised that we don’t have school tomorrow, but I’m not complaining!

Did anyone else know that it was going to be cold today?  When will I learn to check the weather on days I am going on a run? I didn't really notice quite how cool it was until I was already committed😂  At least I got a run in😁 My back was really tight yesterday but I walked several miles and really stretched it out last night. Today was so much better. The gym in the morning for a workout before work and a dojang full of CMS teacher workday kiddos. Hope you all have great Tuesday!

Felt good to be home again today. Didn't have a lot going on and had plenty of time for requirements. I made sure to reevaluate my tracking with them as we only have a few weeks left and I want to make sure I'm good on everything. So far so good, I had a rough start to this cycle especially with the weather being crazy this winter but its going well. Practiced rolls and falls with Sid and Prasoon which was better than practicing by myself. Sid was giving Prasoon a mentor session and I practiced with them for the requirement credits. 

Today was good, very basic Monday. Before school I did the requirements. Nothing really happened at school. When we got home I had a quick snack and then we when to TKD, which was good. When we got home we watch American idol and relaxed. Now I am getting ready for bed. I am also happy there’s no school tomorrow! :)

Mid-day today. I had two tests today, which I don't think were the best I've ever done, but I have definitely learned from my mistakes. I did some other stuff as well, so that was alright. I played volleyball in PE, and I don't think I played my best either. In Spanish, we had a substitute, so we didn't really do much. Overall, I didn't have the best school day, but it's fine. I then had my 2nd day of baseball tryouts for school, and I feel really confident that I will make the team. I came home, then went straight to Taekwondo after eating a quickly made sandwich. I got a leadership 1-credit and a mentor session, too. I then came home, ate a snack, finished my requirements, and finished my homework. I have no school tomorrow, so I am happy about that, but it will be the final day of baseball...

I couldnt log in yesterday but today my day was good the highlight on my day is when i orders some pancakes from ihop ive been waiting to get that for 2 weeks

I couldn't seem to login yesterday, some kind of connection problem. I should do these earlier not right before bed.

today was chill. I learned how to solve a rubix's cube. no school tomorrow. yeah

Today was a pretty busy day. I woke up for school today tired since it's Monday. After school I had drivers Ed practice for 3 hours. After that I went straight to volunteering by cooking at room in the in. I then changed into my uniform and went to Taekwondo where I attended the teen class starting my white belt challenge.

Today was kind of the same. I woke up and went to school . After I got back did some homework and requirements and went to TKD. After I came back home I ate dinner and I’m gonna sleep.

Today was a mid day. I woke up late because I didn’t go to school today (because of fever) and I just chilled at home the whole day. Then I went to Taekwondo class and got some requirements done

Well the website was down so I just got to catch up on my journal. today i had a ckla test about reformation. i also had math tutorting in the afternoon. when i got home my  mimi came over and she gave me this giant chain necklace she got for me while she worked at the superbowl. i worked on some physical requirements and had to read 2 books. one is a cookbook so i can continue learning to cook and also i have to read it for school because my teacher says we need to read manuals and biographies and cookbooks since its more boring than kids books. and another book because we are reading it as our novel study and we are going to see a play about it too.

Today was normal. I had a retest for ELA (even though I already passed — still not sure why I had to retake it), but I got a 100 on it. School went by in a blur. I went for a run in the morning, and after my last block I fell asleep for a bit before getting ready for TKD. In PMAA we worked on single stick since our test is next week — I think we’ll pass without any issues :> it was pretty funny today. After that I helped out with the Senior Tigers since it was their belt ceremony (congrats!). Master Evins called me up to the front to help hand out the belts. We worked on sparring since it’s sparring week. After that I had a mentee session with Emelia. We worked on her last belt forms, self‑defenses, and kicks. Since I’ve taught her all the...

Today was normal. I woke up, did my requirements, studied, and finished my homework. My parents and I went for a walk outside and got around 2.5 miles in. After that I practiced my poomsaes and weapon forms, then had dinner. I can already feel that this week is going to be super tiring and rough, but I just have to keep going. I finished the day helping my parents vacuum. For some reason I suddenly grabbed all my art supplies from my desk and moved them to a separate shelf — maybe that’s a sign to lock in even more, lol. I reviewed the Instructor’s Camp book Master Weeks gave me (truly grateful for that) and studied for the written part of the test. Overall, a steady Sunday. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷    ^-^

I did my requirements and went to school. From there I went to ballet/pointe and then straight home to study for my math test tomorrow...

Today was good, very basic Monday. Before school I did the requirements. Nothing really happened at school. When we got home I had a quick snack and then we when to TKD, which was good. When we got home we watch American idol and relaxed. Now I am getting ready for bed. I am also happy there’s no school tomorrow! :)

Instructors camp yesterday was blast! I had a great time learning from everybody. I think the highlight of the day was doing TKD aerobics with Master Chelley. That was a lot more fun than I expected it to be. It was so interesting listening to Grandmaster Lee talk about how the things we practice in forms can be used in a practical situation. All and all, yesterday was fantastic and I look forward to participating in Instructors Camp again next year.

Yesterday, I couldn't journal or log my requirements because I was outside, like the whole day. I still finished all my requirements yesterday, so I just logged them today. Today, though, I woke up really early and felt the need to finish all my physical requirements for today. The rest of today, I have to go shopping to buy new clothes, go to D-Bat, and go to the Y to get some more miles in. That's all right now because it's only noon, so I'll see yall later.

We didn't have black belt class today so I was able to sleep. When I got up, I went on a run with my father and did some exercises. Later this afternoon we went to Greensboro and ate at this all you can eat sushi restaurant to celebrate my father, grandfather and aunt's birthdays. The food was good and it came on a conveyor belt or you could order from the menu as well. 

Today was a great Saturday! I played basketball with my friend and got some books. Then I ran pretty late and did all my requirements! I also got new pencils and a zipper binder. Have a good day!

We had our SkillsUSA competition today and we actually won first place in our event! I’m super happy and I was pretty shocked when we placed. Now I’m home playing games with my friends. Pretty good saturday

Today was a regular Saturday. Since there was no BBC weekend class, I woke up and practiced what we would usually do at that time. After that I had breakfast and spent most of the morning working on homework and finishing my requirements. While my dad went out for groceries, I helped clean the house. Later, I helped make dinner and accidentally cut myself twice with the knife — I guess I was going a little too fast. I didn’t eat dinner yet, but my parents watched me do all my poomsaes, self‑defenses, and kicks. After that I unloaded the groceries, read a bit, journaled, and called it a day.  Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷    

Today  was a fun day! First wento to get a hair cut and my cousin got the same hair cut was me but after we got our hair cut we went to go drop off my cousin at his house then ate breki then had to go to a truck practice then went to go pick up my sisters friend channing from her school and we all went to the movies to go see this new movie called GOAT the movie was so good Ill watch it 1000 times then went to get lunch/Chick-fil-A and got  popsicles and went  to the park.

I woke up at 7:30 for instructor camp and for the 3 thigs we picked I'd did sparing self defense and power braking.

Today was a good day. No black belt class today.  I had football practice and played at the park after football. 

Today was a really long day but a lot of fun!! Today I went to my first Instructor's camp. We did a lot of fun things like poomsae, challenges, power breaking, and more. I am super tired but today was great :) 

Today was a alright day. Since I wasn't able to go to instructor's camp I tried to work alot on my book so I was ran 4 miles and got all my physical requirements done. I then studied for Taekwondo.

When to instructor camp today. It was a good time but a long day.

Today was a bad day for me. I was sick the whole day, and the worst part was that I had to miss instructors camp. I was in bed pretty much the whole day. 

9th Instructor Camp done! Lots of fun and hard work. And instruction from Masters that you don't see very often. Always nice to learn from other dojangs and of  course, Grandmaster Lee.  And TKD aerobics with Master Chelley!😂🥋💃

Today I had an event to participate, for piano, I did very well with both my playing and theory test! I then worked on Science Olympiad events that I have. I had to study for tests, so I did that.

Today we had an extended lunch and I ate with my friends. After school, I practice jumping rope and I went to black belt class. After class I went home and ate dinner and had so ice cream.

Spent most of the day hanging out with my friends. We didn’t really have much work in class so we kinda just goofed off for the whole day. Very refreshing after having to do so much work

Most Fridays are good but not this one this o e I had to put my dog down. And that dog was older than me and my little brother combed.

I went to school and I went to KT after school for BBC. I then went to piano class. I have a piano event early tomorrow! 

School was fun, and I didn't have that much work. Today was the deadline, so I was just finishing all the work that I hadn't completed, which was nothing. I played volleyball in PE, and that was really funny. Today, after school, was the first actual day of baseball tryouts, and I did well. The conditions outside were terrible and wet, so I couldn't play at my best, but I tried my hardest. Today, I had no Taekwondo because it is closed due to the Instructor's Camp. I finished my homework, my physical requirements for the day, and then chilled. I then watched a movie that was 3 hours long with my mom, and that was mid. Tomorrow, I will be at D-Bat the majority of the day because I need to practice for tryouts on Monday and Tuesday, and also because Taekwondo is cancelled tomorrow.

Uniforms and belt packed, road snacks bought. Looking forward to camp tomorrow.  Waking up will be happening much earlier than usual. Always a long day, but always a good one. See a lot of you tomorrow!

Toady I went to school cam home and did some requirements. We had no classes today since we have instructors camp. I did some homework and requirements and went to dinner for my friends birthday. Bye.

My day was good I didn’t have school today so I finally got to sleep in. Later I went to Friday prayer and I volunteered at my mosque. Then I went to taekwondo at Harrisburg for black belt class and sparring but they were closed. So i had to go back home and practice by my self.

Had work this morning, then got packed up to head to Greenville for instructor's camp. Usually we take the motor home, but there was a leak in the water tank, so we decided to stay at a hotel. Also that meant I don't get an infinite amount of leg room since we got to take the car. 

Today was alright. I got a little homework for school over the weekend, none that can't be managed. After school I came home and got to my requirements. I went to class later in the evening. class was pretty good, we went over weapons a lot. When I came home, I packed everything I needed for Instructors camp tomorrow. I am going to bed very early because we have to be at King Tiger by 4:00 AM to be in Greeneville by 8:30. I'm looking forward to what will be going on tomorrow, this years schedule seems pretty fun.

Today was a good day. School wasn't anything out of the usual. After school however I was able to go down to the green way and run 3 miles even though parts of it were flooded by all the rain. After I went to the gym where I competed all of my physical requirements. 

Today started off ok but by the end I was just exhausted and wanted to go home. School was alright, nothing much to report. I came right to KT for work and then class. The kids were a lot today and I just wasn't feeling it in rolls and falls or BBC tonight (the rain didn't help either). I'm looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow and getting caught up on somethings. I hope everyone who is going has a wonderful time at Instrucotrs Camp and learns a lot. Have a great weekend. ~ Peyton

Today was great, or was it? I had digital art for my encore and did dividing decimals and multiplying decimals worksheets and got a 100 on both of them. I also got the results for my weather unit post test and my unit 5 math post test! I got between 90 and 100 on both of them. I also did a check in and got a 100 on that, too! I played games for 45 minutes and did my journal. I did my physical requirements minus running since it was wet outside. Then, I started my nutrition challenge for 30 days. Today is my 1st day. Have a good cycle and weekend!

Today was pretty normal. I got a 92 on my science test (there’s still one question left to be graded), and I worked on my Computer Science project during class. After that I studied my study guides — both TKD and school work — and turned off my computer earlier than usual to help my mom. Later I helped make dinner, journaled, read a bit, listened to Atomic Habits, and edited an essay. I’ll probably draw too. Since it’s Friday, there was no taekwondo class, so I just practiced on my own. I finished my requirements and called it a day. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ 

Need these skies to be blue again because running in the cold gray world is sad.  Other than that it has been a great week on cycle getting stronger and can do pull ups now :)

Today was a good day I did pretty good on my tests and in gym i was playing vollyball with my friends and my team destroyed them. Then later i went to Taekwando to help out and then I got a coffee at Dunkin.

Today was so easy at school. 2/4 of my classes had a substitute so I did not have to do much work for those classes. When I got home I had to meet up with some of my classmates to finalize our project, which we have to sell to a group of judges.

School was mid today. Finished my work and got on with class. PE was fun today because my team won both our volleyball games, and I think I was the star player of both. We also had a weird schedule in school today because the 6th graders went on a field trip. In Spanish, we reviewed our answers to these two worksheets and then turned them in for an easy 100. I was supposed to have my first day of baseball tryouts today, but it was pouring really hard outside, so that got cancelled. I was really bummed because I was looking forward to tryouts. Instead, I went to my Mathcounts meeting at school and had a lot of fun there. When I came back home, I ate some food, finished my physical requirement for the day, and then got ready for Taekwondo. In Taekwondo today, I helped out with a...

Today was a good day.  Got home early to finish my math project.  It took too long and I was trying to not fall asleep but it turned out good.

The uniforms have been laundered and folded. Road snacks have to be bought but the energy drinks are in the fridge. Ready for Instructors Camp! See you all there!

I had quite a busy day today. School was normal, nothing to eventful. When I got home, I doubled up on my requirements in order to get ahead to make up for what I will miss for Instructors camp. After an overwhelming amount of requirements, I went to King Tiger for sparring class. We got to do this new drill were two people on either side of you hold targets and your goal was to kick them while maneuvering yourself down the mat. After sparring class, I came home and hit the books; I got a math test tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the last day of my nutrition challenge. My nutrition challenge was to eat 100 percent natural foods which has been really difficult. especially because everything that I am aloud to eat has to be made and prepared. - Lucas

I'm looking forward to instructor training this weekend. I hope to see you guys there.

Today was pretty good. I woke up as usual and got dressed while my mom packed my lunch. It was raining so that wasn't fun and it kind of put us behind schedule a little, but we made it to school at a decent time. When I got to class, I got all of my work done and made a trailer for our movie for 4 boys 1 car. After that I completed my math tasks and worked on a reading test. We've been doing a lot of tests and review lately even though our benchmarks aren't until after spring break. Thankfully we have next Tuesday off with a half day on Friday. I'm looking forward to going to OH for spring break and since I'm not where I wanted/need to be in my physical fitness requirements, my mom has made sure that my dad is aware of my responsibilities I...

Today was a pretty good day. There wasn't anything to out of the usual for school. After school I came home and did most of my physical requirements minus running. I then did some stretching, it was more of a rest day.

Today was pretty mid. In school I didnt go to recess because it was wet outside and it was gloomy the whole day. Then after school I went to sparring and got another credit. I also got a mentor session and class assistance done. Productive day. Tomorrow is Friday!

Today was pretty normal overall. School went by in a blur, and even though I didn’t feel great in the morning, did my requirements, a nap helped a lot. After that I showered, practiced a bit, and headed to TKD. I helped with the Senior Tigers class and then had a mentor session with Master Weeks where we worked on stick form 1 and a few different poomsae. My lower right abdomen was cramping from kicks, but I pushed through it. Once I got home, I ate, studied, finished my homework, and reviewed self‑defense videos on a separate monitor. I listened to Atomic Habits, restarted journaling, and might draw a small sketch before bed. I drank green tea and plan to read to end the night. Just a steady, productive day. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷  

Today was pretty calm. I had music and my class was not so good today. they usually talk a lot. I ate some Doritos when I came home because I was hungry even though I ate my lunch at school. I did my stick and staff poomsaes and used the videos my dad took for me to practice! My sister is also very gullible these days. I tricked her to use her scooter just for fun. I gave back her scooter, did my I ready and ate dinner. Thanks for entertaining me with the journals you posted so I can read them!

Today I received my report card and it was very good. My parents and grandparents were pleased which made me happy. After school I was able to relax a little since we didn't have sparing class today. I worked on my poomsaes and did some pushups. I did go to black belt class and we worked on self defense. Got home and had enough time to eat dinner and play video games.

My day was okey i had school I did really got on my quizes but i still have a lot of studying to do. 

Another day, another class assistance credit. It’s been surprisingly fun helping out and teaching students. I got the ACT tomorrow, hopefully I’ll do good on it (I’m sure I will)

What student did I need the most energy for today? Not a black belt, not the group of 4 different kinds of yellow belts, not two of my mentees who are working on their hapkido forms, the three brand new white with yellows...close but nope. The single 5 year old white belt, Beau.  The energy radiating off this little boy was amazing. We worked on blocks tonight using a pool noodle...we barely made it past low blocks, he had to block me three times on each side in order to move on to the next thing. I honestly don't know who had more fun, Beau, his mom and grandma who were watching or me. There were some frustrations, lots of impromptu stunt falls but there were by far outweighed by the fun.  I was sweating when we finally got those last three successful low blocks and earned the right to play...

Today was ok at school. Just a regular day. After school, I went to King Tiger for leadership credits and a mentee session. When I came home, I started my requirements and I also went for a run. My neighborhood has many hills in it and by the fourth mile, running up those hills are quite difficult. However it was very nice weather to be running so that was really nice. After my requirements, I did some homework. I am looking forward to Saturday because one, it is instructors camp and two, Friday is the last day of my nutrition challenge. I think I am finally going to get a birthday cake because my birthday happened while I was on my nutrition challenge and was not able to eat cake over my birthday. This wraps up my day. I hope everyone had a great Wednesday and has a great rest of...

Today was a good day.  Just left black belt class.  Studying for a social studies test and doing my requirements.

So I've been buying these cheap work boot for awhile. Just some rubber boots that keep your feet dry.  The last time I bought a pair, this wasn't that long ago they are cheap boots after all, they cost $29. I went to buy a new pair today and they are now $60.  Walmart just price gouged themselves out of a sale.  

today is Wednesday I had school got a 100 on my science test, had a doctor's appointment, helped out junior tigers testing, and sparred.

Today was a good day. At school I finished icing my cinnamon sugar cookies we made from scratch and ate them in Food and Nutrition  I. After school I went to the Greenway where I ran 2 miles then the gym where I finished all my physical requirements. I then attended black belt class at Taekwondo since sparring was canceled.

Today was… normal, I suppose. School felt more intense than usual even though it was async — we had small groups for Math 1 and Computer Science Discoveries to work on our projects. After that I finished my work, studied, did my requirements, and went out for a run. When I got back I ended up falling asleep, but once I woke up I practiced a bit more. Since there was Junior Tiger testing today, there was no Senior Tiger class or sparring, but we did have Black Belt class. We did light stretches and worked on our self‑defenses. After that I had a mentor session with Master Weeks, and we went over Staff Form 1 and Single Stick Form 1, worked on my kicks — truly grateful for that.
