For lunch today my dad and I went to the Gibson Mill and ate at the depot deli which is inside of it. The sandwiches are great and its one of our favorite lunch places. Afterwards we went over to the dojang for classes. I take the high belt class as my black belt class there. Its fun as I get to be with all the other students and participate with them.

Today was ok. The only thing that is getting me through the week is an e-learning day on Friday and no school Monday! I went to school, straight to work, then home for dinner and requirements. I got a good amount of stuff done today. I'm all finished up with leadership 2 credits so yay! I don't have much to say but keep pushing through! We are almost half way through the cycle! ~ Peyton

Journal #27 - 2/09/2026 Lalitha

Today was a pretty normal school day, nothing too wild. I ended up falling asleep again, which honestly I wasn’t planning on, but it happened. Once I woke up, I walked over to TKD and got into my PMAA class. I helped the red belts with Chil‑chang, led warm‑ups, and finished the day with a mentee session. After I got back home, I packed my school bag since tomorrow is in‑person i‑Ready testing. Overall, just a normal day. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle.  - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ( •̀ ω •́ )y ✨

Super Bowl

This morning was a little rough getting started. My mom and I went to a friend's house to watch the Superbowl and got home later than expected. Because of this, I didn't get as much sleep as I normally do. On the way to school, I actually fell asleep which was nice, but I was still tired today. When we were in reading, I couldn't stay awake either. Thankfully lunch was good and then we ha recess. At recess, I was playing soccer but basically spent the whole time running up and down the field because the #1 person on my team wouldn't pass the ball. After recess I had AIG which is always fun. I was glad though that the day was over and my mom brought me Chow Mein when she picked me up. Since getting home, I've been able to relax a bit but tonight I'm missing taekwondo...

Yesterday and Today

I forgot to log my requirements and journal yesterday because I was doing so much other stuff. I woke up in the morning and finished my physical requirements early. I then went to some career readiness event, Costco, an asian store, and then returned home. I joined a Zoom call with someone and got ready for the Superbowl. I had some really delicious food, went to Starbucks with my friends, and chilled. I thought the Super Bowl was pretty bad, but that's just my opinion. Today, I headed to school, and it was normal. I finished all my work, and I just returned from school. I am going to go to class later today and also go to a friend's house for some career guidance. See you later!

Junior Instructor's Camp was a success. All of the sessions went well. We had 12 first time campers and they all had a very good time with lots of participation. And I stayed after for poomsae class and even got a short workout in after that because once I hit that wall I knew nothing else was going to happen. Four hour nap was amazing. Have a good Monday tomorrow!

Super Bowl Sunday is here. I woke up, ate breakfast, got my requirements, then went on a run with my sister around our neighborhood for around 2.5ish miles, then me and my mom went out to get steak and other ingredients for the Super Bowl watch party. We made ribeye and flayminyon steak which was great , and then home made nachos. Then we watched the superbowl where the Seahawks ended up winning and getting revenge.

I never have much going on during Sundays. I let myself sleep in a little later today which felt good. Though usually I try to practice not to wake up late to form a good sleeping pattern for myself. With not much going on the day felt longer than others. But I got plenty of time to get any homework or requirements in with a lot of time to spare.

Jr. Instructors Camp Days 1 & 2

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Saturday I went to BBC and stayed at King Tiger until 11:30 to help out with classes. I came home for about 2 hours and ran a couple miles. Then I went back to KT from 2p.m. to 11:30a.m. the next morning for Jr. Instructors Camp! As always, a great turn out and a lot of fun. Thank you to all the masters and instructors that came out to teach sessions. And thank you to all the kiddos for coming out and not causing too much trouble! I got about 4 hours of sleep last night on the hard floor so when I went home at noon I quickly took a shower and took a nap. Jr. Instructors Camp was exhausting so I did what I could with my requirments and now I'm watching the Super Bowl with my family. Have a great start...

Today I woke up and went on a run. I was planning to run 4 miles like I usually do but when I was at the two mile mark, I had to stop and warm up inside my house. I did not expect it to be that cold outside, I assumed that when my blood started flowing, I would warm up. That was not the case. Anyway, I finished up the other two miles when I felt ready. After my run, I went ahead to knock out the rest of my requirements. The remainder of my day was reserved for relaxation. I did not have any obligations that I had to do. - Lucas

Junior Leadership

Today was yet another good day and since I didn't get to write yesterday, I'll fill you in on what happened then too. I had an early morning basketball game where we were up 33-0 at halftime and in the 3rd or 4th quarter I scored 2 points. We ended up winning 54-7 which was nice, but I feel the other team essentially gave up playing. After that, my mom took me to scouts because I got to cross over into Troop 83 with two of the other guys from my den. We had a quick ceremony, got our patches and "scout bibles" then headed up to get lunch before I got dropped off at Junior Leadership camp. Junior Leadership camp was nice, as also, and I had a lot of fun learning taekwondo aerobics, nun chucks, the food (especially the breakfast sundae) and of course sleep. My mom came early...

Unfortunatley I couldn't really do much today. My foot was aching and hurting like crazy and I could barely walk, so I didn't go to class today. I mostly spent the day resting and trying to recover. As of writing this, my foot feels much better. Hopefully by Monday I will be all healed up. Once my foot heals completely, I'm going to have to make up the requirments I lost out on.

I woke up kind of late for Taekwondo class today at 8:30 AM. I rushed to use the bathroom, brush my teeth, eat breakfast, get ready for sparring, and do other things. I arrived at about 9:06 AM and did my entrance fee which is 5 Burpees. Sparring was fun and after that, I got some mentor sessions, mentee sessions, leaderships credits, and did some other fun things. I skipped the Leadership class, but came later because I was getting a mentor session by a 2nd Degree Instructor, but Master Foster signed it. I also bought a bowstaff today, which was cool, and I am really getting good at the tricks and forms. When I returned, I ate lunch, and got ready for baseball practice at D-Bat. I stayed there for about 2 hours and really improved. I just came back and I am really happy and surprised of how strong...

Today was a very, very cool day. School started like normal with me working a tutorial document that tells my friends how to code. In reading we had to answer questions about a new character in our book, The Phantom Tollbooth. At lunch, I had brought food to heat up but they wouldn't allow me to use the microwave, so that was no fun. We had recess outside afterwards. I played soccer with my friends but didn't score any goals. For encore, we did an air mass lesson, and an activity about it. Somehow, we had free time on our computers, so I did coding. I was trying to code a simple calculator, but the code did this: num1 = 2, num2 = 5, num1 + num2 = 25. I didn't know how to fix it, so I had to wait until I got home.

Today I woke a up to a regular school day. no two hour delay or anything crazy. I got a little bit of homework but that was easily taken care of when I got home. I swiftly completed my requirements after school. A little later into the evening, I went to King Tiger for class. Class was pretty good but what was even better was I got to start to learn double stick form 2 after class. That seems like a complicated form.

In the back of my car...where it had been since last Thursday.  Care to guess how cold my hogul--no idea if I spelled that correctly-- was when I put it on?🥶🥶😂😂  Won't make that mistake again! Busy day in classes again but a good one. Lots of good work, helping our color belts get ready for their test in a couple of weeks. Prepping for Junior Instructors Camp this weekend too. And at the end of the day a call from my youngest, checking in on his mom.  Wonderful way to end the day. See you in class!

Jordan Small Journal Entry #33

Today was alright I guess, I woke up to go to school early in the morning but my dad got a email from my school saying there was a 2 hour delay because the light snow froze from last night. So When I got to school we were told that the schedule would be the same as yesterday but F and C blocks were swapped. So that was a bit confusing, but overall the school day was mid. After school I came home and did my homework, after I watched tv until it was time to go to sparring class. After sparring class I came home, ate dinner, then did my requirements as well as run  2 miles on my treadmill. Have a good night:)

Today was our second day back from school. I did my requirements early in the morning, and after school had a forensics event. Then I went home ate some food, and then went to KT to help out with classes and then had a mentee session in between and sparring afterwards. Today was a pretty productive day!

Thursdays are usually a busy schedule for me. I got work at 11am to 1pm, then I have some time to eat before leaving to work at 4:30 at the dojang. The cycle takes up some time now and my routine schedule has been a little thrown off. Today felt extra busy but honestly I enjoy filling in some of the time gaps. Instead of wasting time on my phone or something I do my run or practice.

Finally we had a day where we actually went to school. It wasn’t a regular day though since we had a 2 hour delay this morning. I caught up on some work I missing and after school I went to taekwondo, where I did class assistance and leadership, then I do sparring class which was fun. That is mostly it for today.

We had a 2 hour delay today, which was super nice. I wish we had these all the time so I don’t have to wake up so early. Did the usual today, homework, requirements and things like that. My run today was really satisfying for some reason, not sure why. Anyways, tomorrow we go back to a regular school schedule, which is super disappointing, but what can you do.

Today was pretty normal. I couldn’t run my miles at school today which was a bummer. After school I helped with TKD class and had a mentor session after. After TKD I got home and made myself a sandwich for dinner.  After dinner I learned how to make origami kunai which are really cool.

Back to school :(

Today was an ok day for me. Today was the first day back from school from the snowstorm that hit again over the weekend. I got there and started talking to my friends about anything we could think of. We started out the day with math, then AIG, lunch, reading, recess, then finally encore. There wasn't much to do at school so this will be short. After school, I went to taekwondo. I got all of my requirements done except run. After taekwondo, I went to swim. I was able to move up to the next level of learning, so now I am in the last level. After that, I went home, took a shower, and settled down for bed.

Today was pretty uneventful. It was our first day back at school after this unexpected break and the teachers were not slacking. I have a bunch of tests and presentations coming up, but it's fine. After school was sparring. Today my mom and other sister joined us for the first time :) Unfortunately, right when my ankle was starting to heal I banged it up again and now it's super painful. Hopefully it feels better tomorrow for BBC though. Have a good Friday!

February 5th

So I worked it out with the job where I only have to work two Saturdays. That's great. However, they took my idea for how to do this I gave them a year ago.  You win some you lose some I guess.

Today was pretty basic. Nothing really happened at school, I finished a test and recapped on the day we were out. After school I did the requirements and did some homework. Then we went to sparring and most of my family went which was fun! Then when we got back I studied for a test tomorrow and finish up the homework. Now I am getting ready for bed. :)

Today I woke up at 6:00 like an ordinary school day. I started to get ready and then right around 6:15, the school calls and says their will be a two hour delay. Instead of crawling back in bed, I took advantage of the extra time and completed my requirements. It felt really good knowing that when I came home I would not have to do any kind of working out. After school, I went to King Tiger to get some leadership credits. I came home to eat and then went right back over to King Tiger for sparring class. After class, I came home and finished up the requirements that I did not have time for in the morning. - Lucas.

Journal #23 2/05/2026 - Lalitha

Today was finally a normal school day. Once I finished classes, I got my requirements done and spent some time studying before heading over to TKD. I helped out with the Senior Tigers and had a mentor session, which went really well. After that I came back home, wrapped up my homework, and called it a day. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. (*^▽^*)

Pretty Good Day

Yesterday I didn't journal, so let me recap for a second. Yesterday was pretty good, I just had school with a 2 hour delay which was honestly really nice to sleep in and have shortened classes. I came home, went running, did some homework, and finished up requirements. My mom and I had dinner at Five Guys last night and that felt so good to eat a greasy burger and fries. I'm not sure why but it hit different last night lol. Today was alright; I had school, went running, requirements, and then sparring class. Sparring wasn't too strenuous and I enjoyed seeing everyone there tonight! Now I'm getting ready to go to bed and am definitely looking forward to Friday and Jr. Instructor's Camp this weekend!! Finish off the week strong everyone! ~ Peyton
