So my recycling can was broken . The city told be to leave it on the street and they wild have a person come by and fix it or replace it. They replaced it and left the broken one too. Thanks I guess. 

Today I was at the beach. After breakfast we went out for a while to grab a few sales items to bring home.  It was a wet and rainy day, so I had no time at the ocean or to do outdoor activities. I did some homework at the resort to prepare for testing when I return to school.  After that I went to the seafood buffet and ate a lot of food. I was so full. I rested for a while and then had to work on some requirements.

Am I the only one that DIDN'T have a chill day today😭. I've seen at least 3 blog posts that said they had a chill day today... THE BILLS LOST BRO AGAGAGAHGAHGAHGAHA. Okok back to normal, today was mid, all I did was get out of bed and run a mile cuz I felt like it, then did the laundry. Later that day I went to my grandma's house to spend some time with her. When I got home I did my requirements, btw I ate dinner at my grandma's house. CYA🤦‍♂️:/

Today I went to go see Zootopia 2. With my mom sister and dad and at the movie theaters I got pizza and fruit punch Gatorade and my sister got popcorn fruit snacks and a piece of candy and some juice because she got the kids meal and my mom got some nachos I forgot what my dad got but the movie was really good I liked it um then after that my Mimi came over to eat dinner and that was my day it was very fun.

Nothing eventful today. I got up and did some of my requirements. I practiced guitar for around an hour though so that was cool.  Then I went on a run later in the afternoon because I was hopping it would be warmer but I was very wrong. My hands were basically purple by the time I was done. Then I took a nap which made me finish the rest of my requirements later but that’s fine. I think I messed up my right leg though. Behind my knee makes it feel like I’m snapping something when I kick so I might not do sparring this upcoming week. Hopefully that starts getting better, and luckily it only affects my kicking so I can do the rest of my requirements.  That’s pretty much it.

Poomsae class this morning ended with some belt stretches...I need to be stretching more. Doesn't always feel the best when you're doing it but you definitely feel better later for it. My right knee is bothering me a bit so no running today at the gym. I walked half a mile waiting for my husband to meet me and then we worked out together. Lots of chest and shoulders today, my arms feel quite heavy right now. Then while he was finishing up I grabbed a mat and finished up with sit-ups, some plank...so hard after the workout, and then some more stretches. No jumprope today but I'll double up tomorrow.  CJ, my oldest, attacked me this afternoon for self-defenses and my day was complete. Finishing up some laundry now and then updating my requirements on the website. Have a great week everyone!

Hope everyone's having a great weekend! I'm up in VA spending time with my family. And I have to say, it is a lot colder up here than it is in NC. Unpopular opinion, but I don't like snow. Its just so cold and makes everything so much harder and more complicated. It started snowing today, not too much stuck to the ground but constant flurries. I went out and ran 2.3 miles and the snow was blowing into my face the entire time. Definitely not comfortable, but proud of myself that I got it done. Finished up some more requirements and then we went out to a Mexican restaurant (I love Mexican food)! Relaxing with some football the rest of the night! ~ Peyton

Today was super chill. I woke up, got my requirements done, and then went out for a bit just to get out of the house. When I got back, I actually sat down and studied for a while, which felt kinda nice. And the big win of the day? I finally sketched something again after forever. It wasn’t a whole masterpiece or anything, but it felt good to draw. Honestly, that was pretty much the whole day. Hope everyone has a great day, and good luck for the rest of the cycle! Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

Today was pretty relaxed. I finally got to sleep in …😊 Then I got a little at-home hair trim by my mom. After, my parents took us all to get boba tea and some snacks. When we got home I did my mile and requirements. We are watching football now and relaxing for the rest of the night. Today I started learning my new skill. I am attempting to solve a Rubix cube 😅 I solved the first layer but kept messing up… it’s a lot harder than I thought! Overall a pretty chill day, but don’t we all need those sometimes :) No school tomorrow! 🥳

Today was really chill. I didn't have any classes to worry about, whether it was school, taekwondo, or some other sport. I kind of relaxed at home and ate food. I didn't really go outside except for running my mile, because it was really cold. I finished my physical requirements earlier than usual, and then ate lunch, which was delicious. I watched some TV and relaxed. I have been realizing how much the cycle has impacted me because I have been very tired lately and have been taking naps. When I woke up, I was reviewing my poomsaes and self-defenses for extra practice by watching YouTube. I have to go to a birthday party later today, and when my brother went to the gym, he brought his friend home with him, and he will be going to the party with us. I hope everyone is also excited that we have no...

Today I thought there would be snow. But we got barely any snow! I played some games for a hour, then I played with my sister for a while and had some arguements. Then I ate my lunch downstairs with my family. After that, I did some chess practice and some exercise. Finally, I did some streches and some sleeping!

I am at my brothers soccer tournament in Atlanta Georgia he lost his game today and I am about to do my workouts. Yesterday I had a wrestling meet I had 5 matches won 3 and lost 2 then we had lunch and drove to Cumming Georgia.

Today was a good day. I didnt attend any taekwondo today so I just knocked out my physical requirements for the day then did some stretching to recover. After I wrote an essay which was good to have another one down. Then we went to the library where I checked out a baking and soup cook book to help with my new skill of cooking.

I woke up this morning with a runny nose because of the cold. My requirements were pretty hard to get through today, but I managed. I read for a bit, and studied.

I had a fun weekend with my dad. Did both black belt classes and I mentored for the first time Saturday morning. My sister went to a cheer comp so I hung out with my dad. We went to Dave and busters to play games.

I have been seeing some improvement within my sparring. I’ve been using much more strategy and I have not been relying on strength only. Still have a long way to go.

Today, I woke up at 8 AM to get ready for my taekwondo classes. I had sparring class, then helped out with another class, and also had leadership class. In between those classes, I acquired a mentee session and had a lot of fun. When I returned home, I took a shower, ate lunch, and watched some TV. I was really tired, so I took a nap that was 2 and a half hours long. When I woke up, I realized my parents had left to go to a family friend's house, and my brother and I were home alone. I quickly finished my physical requirements and made dinner for ourselves. I made us cheese pizza, and it was delicious. After that, I made some popcorn and watched a movie upstairs. It was really funny, and I would watch it again. I am about to go to sleep and hope everyone had...

My day was good I went to a couple of places and I went to the gym training for 2 hours and then I did some chores.

Class was pretty good today. A bit of a review with some tweaking. Other than that I think I'm make progress.

Today is Saturday, and we had an early basketball game. I made 2 points today and we won like 43-21, I believe. My team did really well with passing the ball and using the whole court. Early in the game the other team had the lead but started to not communicate well as we started making a comeback. Right after our game, I head to taekwondo to help assist with the junior class. Today was also my last day in my white belt challenge so it was nice being able to finish that part. I was able to work with Ryker on staff form 1 and get a mentor session out of the way. After we got home from taekwondo, I showered and took a much-needed nap. From there, I played on my laptop until we went to my friend Acyn's house. His mom is selling their home, so my mom...

Today was a pretty crazy day. First I went to black belt class and we did self defense a bunch of times, and I also got a mentor session in with master Mathew. After that I ate breakfast and had to go to a birthday party, where we went into the woods and into this creek which it was freezing and the water was very cold. Then I got home and watched Buffalo play but they got snubbed and robbed in the playoffs which happens like every year. Now I’m resting in my bed about to sleep .

Today I woke up kinda early to go to black belt class this morning. After that class I went home and watched tv, a little bit later I helped my dad take down the last of the Christmas decorations. Later that day I went to ate dinner and did my requirements.

Today was a chill day. I did black belt class, mentor session, requirements, football practice, read my teacher notes and did my calendar for next week, then I played with my friends on the game.  For me that's still a chill day.

Pretty good day went to blackbelt class in the morning worked on my 1st dan self defense and knife special. Watched some football the bills lost sadly they were my team looks like the Seahawks will win there game which is good so im going for them now. Anyways peace

I got up around 10 today which wasn’t too late for me. I managed to knockout around 60 pages of my book then practice some guitar. My run was good today I just missed my pr by 2 seconds but I’m sore so I’ll cut myself some slack. I’m so glad it’s a 3 day weekend cause I really need to catch up on my sleep. Now I’m gonna watch hockey.

Friday night Black Belt class with Master Chelley was a learning and tiring experience. This morning I had my black belt class. When class ended, I had to get my phone and Ipad from my parents, for communication and games. Then I went to the beach with my Grandparents. Time for a workout!  

I had the best night of sleep I’ve had in a long time, which was very welcomed. Classes this morning went great, even though I couldn’t get myself up early enough to take black belt class. Maybe next week. Later tonight, I got to celebrate my sister’s birthday, which was really nice.

I'm up in VA visiting with my grandparents this weekend! We got in at 1a.m. last night so I'm a pretty tired. I got some requirements done this morning. Then I played Uno with my grandma. That's our thing, we play about 15 games of Uno every day and keep track of who wins. I have records from when I was five years old of our Uno games! I worked on some more requirements, ate lunch and then went for a run. In their neighborhood, they have this one huge hill and when I have been on cycle before I have always had to walk up that hill, but not today! Today was the first time I ran all the way up the hill. I had really great stamina due to the cold weather! I finished up my last requirements and ate dinner. Relaxing the rest of the night! Keep working hard...

Today was pretty normal, but I was happy we didn't have to go to school. It was kind of hard to not being able to sleep in. BBC was good, it was nice to run through all the self defenses. For the rest of the day I relaxed, and did the requirements. For dinner we had homemade pizza! Now we are just relaxing. : )  

nothing much. 5 star day. pretty basic. had a sleep over.  yeah

Finally the weekend is here! I will admit it was tough not to be able to sleep in this morning because of black belt class. However, we worked on self defense and it was really good to run through all of them. When I got back I just relaxed. This week has been really busy so I definitely needed that time. Then I took advantage of all the time I had to get some extra miles in. I biked three running miles, did my requirements and did some extra practice on stick and staff 1 and 2. For dinner my dad made homemade pizza! It was so good! Now we’re watching football. I can’t believe it’s already week three of cycle! Great job so far everyone and have a good weekend!

Today started early. I woke up around 6 and got ready for Black Belt class in the morning. Class took a lot of energy, but it felt good to get moving and knock it out first thing. After I got home, I went straight into my requirements and worked through a solid chunk of them. At some point I ended up falling asleep — not planned, just tired from everything. When I woke up, I did a little more work and kept things steady for the rest of the day. Later I helped my mom with a few things, and that was basically it. A simple, quiet day, but I still got what I needed to get done. Hope everyone has a great day, and good luck for the rest of the cycle! Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

So this week, I decided to do my white belt challenge. It was so wild going to the back of the line again and working on the fundamentals. This journey is amazing and is teaching me so much.

It was a good day, I woke up early for Saturday BBC where we worked on self defence. After that me and my mom went to go see the Venerable Monks' Walk For Peace. Where we were able to not only see them go by but see them eat lunch and give a blessing. After that I went home and finished up my requirements for the day.

Today I woke up early and went to black belt class. I got my sticks and bow staff today, I really like the color. During class I saw what I needed to work on, so I noted that down on my book. As soon as I got home I worked on those stuff. I plan to focus on my requirements and some studying today. 

So far my morning has been pretty good. I woke up and went to class, we practiced a lot of self defense in that class. I am feeling pretty good about myself, I feel like I know everything pretty thoroughly. After class I jumped right into my requirements, I started with those very early because I am leaving to see family very shortly. I am going to Greenville SC. I will be back by Sunday at noon. Quite a busy day. - Lucas

Today was a great day! I first woke up at 7:00 and went to my black belt class! We did our color belt self defense and I did okay. When I came back home, I did some exercise and poomsaes! Then I played some games on my ipad! Then I did my journal which I am doing right now. Have a nice day everyone!

Today was good except the fact that I had 4 tests in school today but after that I went to king tigers locations I never been to before and I took black belt class and sparring so that’s good.

Today was actually really good I woke up early for a school club in the morning and after school I went on a road-trip to the mountains! I had to be in a car for 3 hours but worth it and the reason we went is because my family house a house in the mountains so I go with a bunch of family members once a year for a couple days so it was a pretty good day

Today was fr boring. All I did was go to school come home with no homework, then I went to black belt class. When I got home I ate dinner and played on my computer, as well as doing my requirements.

Today was pretty fun. I went to school and it was pretty normal. After school I had dungeons and dragons club which was fun. After that I had taekwondo and took the black belt and sparring class. After class my parents decided to order some biriyani so we had that for dinner.

It's Friday hope everyone has a great weekend and now a word from the Downer Philosopher. "Why is it that Friday is so close to Monday but Monday is so far from Friday?" Have a wonderful day, night or whatever time you see this.

Today was a good day although I basically did nothing I ran two miles and ate like 5 rolls I love rolls oh man im not a poet but someone needs to make one about rolls because they are that good. Im also thinking about going to other schools for sparing maybe anyways thats all peace

Turns out Olive wasn’t very kind to me last night, and I was pretty exhausted today because of it. Even so, Little Tigers and black belt class went really well, and I got some good practice with weapons, which felt encouraging. I’m also thinking about getting a gym membership next week if time allows.

Woo what a day. Finally the weekend has come and a 3 day break. Today was definitely a pretty good day, as I had a pep rally which I did a game in there and our team/grade won. Also everyone was a bit rowdy and it was really loud (almost lost my voice too). Anyways after school I went to Tkd for rolls and falls class, and then got in a BB class. Eventful day.

Today was a chill day.  I didn't have any classes and was able to play with my friends.  Tomorrow I have black belt class and football practice.

Today was pretty steady overall. I spent most of the day working through my requirements, studying, and keeping up with my usual school tasks. Nothing too intense, but it still felt productive in that quiet, low‑key way. I’m also really looking forward to the three‑day weekend — it gives me extra time to keep pushing on my requirements, so uhhh ye, that’s definitely a win. Hope everyone has a great day, and good luck for the rest of the cycle! Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

This morning, I woke up and it was extremely cold outside. I would prefer it to be this cold if it were snowing but that's not going to happen. When I got to school, I worked on the ending of our show. Today was the first day that 4 boys, 1 car had it first views not by me or my friend, THE WHOLE CLASS SAW. If you want to see the episode too, go here: 4 boys, 1 car EP: 1 SE: 1 Today in math, we did subtracting decimals. In reading, we read chapter 8 of The Phantom Tollbooth. The book is interesting. Again, we didn't go outside because it was "too cold". It was only 34° out, stop overreacting. In science, we learned about warm and cold fronts. Traffic was bad when we were leaving school due to the Walk for Peace that came through our area. My mom...

I hope everyone had a great week! Today was pretty good, school was alright. I got on the bus and went to work. The kids had a lot of energy today so that was fun. Took BBC and got to work on some stick forms with Master Natasya and the 3rd dans. I'm now in the car on my way to my grandparents house in VA. It'll definitely be a late night! Make sure to rest your body this weekend, because you deserve it but also try to work ahead on somethings. Take advantage of your time that you do have! Keep up the good work! ~ Peyton

Today was a good day I got a 98 on my biology test and a 100 on my English quiz. In food and nutrition we made muffins and black-eyed pea brownies. I was able to go down to the Greenway near the gym and ran 3 miles as well as come back to the gym and get the rest of my taekwondo physical requirements done for that day.

I feel like I have been cold all day, all day. Hot soup for dinner helped though. Not a very productive day for requirements but I did get some done.  I have a list going of the things that give me pause, that I really have to think hard on or that I am not confident in.  Sometimes the cycle is about looking hard at yourself and being honest about what you have down and what you are nowhere near. And it's not always going to be something super complex or physically difficult. Just a little something to think about. See you in class!

Today was pretty decent. Got up and did some workouts and practiced my guitar. School was boring. I can home and decided to run my mile on the treadmill since it’s like 2 degrees outside. I got a lot of credits today which was really good and that’s pretty much it.

Got 2 miles in like normal, mentee session, and a BB class.  Pretty decent day for requirements.  Not crazy sore anywhere at the moment, so that is a plus!  I will always take that.  I may do a few extra miles tomorrow, because I am planning on eating some wonderful Korean food for lunch.  If you haven't tried KPOT yet, definitely give it a try one day.  Certainly on my top 5 Korean restaurants in Charlotte list.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Today is Friday, so I get to finally relax. It’s also a 3 day weekend, which means this is my opportunity to get ahead on requirements. Things have got slow at times, but I am still able to push forward. Looking forward to my future improvements.

Today was pretty normal, but I am very happy it’s Friday! At school I had a few test the went very well! After school I didn’t have much time. Then we went to BBC, which was fun. My foot still kind of hurts, so I hope it feels better tomorrow. Now I am going to do the requirements and relax. :) 

Today was a really busy end to the week. School started out early with art club. It was lots of fun because today a clay artist came in and taught us part one of making face jugs. Right after art club I had my final Spanish midterm. I’m super relieved that they’re finally over. Shortly after I got to finish up my math midterm. I’m very pleased with that end result also. The rest of school was pretty relaxed. I didn’t have any time after school, I went straight to TKD. Today I got some refreshers on stick 1 and 2. Now I’m going to do my requirements and relax for the rest of the night. TGIF

Today was pretty eventful, at school I had three tests, English, History, and AP Environmental science. All of which, luckily were pretty easy compared to some of the tests that were given in the past. When I got home from school, I started with the requirements. My knee is still giving me trouble, Hopefully that mess clears up soon. The rest of my night will be used for recovery. - Lucas

Today was a pretty chill and fun day. In school, I had a Spanish test and a science test, on which I got a 100 on both. Every other subject had some basic classwork, and I didn't get any homework. When I came back from home, I did some of my physical requirements and got ready for my Weekend BB class. Class was fun and interesting today, because we learned how to defend and attack with plastic knives. I also got some leadership credits and had a mentor session with Master Foster. I didn't get to do a sparring class because I had to leave early to go to a party. I just came home and finished the rest of my physical requirements. I am about to go take a shower and get ready for the party. I am excited for tomorrow because I will be at the dojang from 9...

Happy friday everyone! As I woke up and got ready for school, I did my homework while eating and went to school! We had our D.A.R.E gratuation and ate pizza and popcorn! Once we moved station after station, we got some hot cocoa. It was pretty mid because it was cold. We has free computer time, drawing time, and a dj in the gym and some games! After that I worked until recess and played blooket until dissmisal. Once I came home, I told my parents about our D.A.R.E celebration and what I ate. I took my shower and played some games. After that, I did some exercise, poomsaes, self defense, etc. Then I ate dinner and watched one piece before going to bed! That was all about my day! Have a great friday and good luck to you.

How do you make time, for me it is always difficult, I sometimes have to get up early, rearrange projects, just say no, which I never do, need to learn that also. Overall I make time but planning the best I can sometimes it works out sometimes it does not, but I try to get everything done efficently and effectively for my ability. 

Thank goodness for Friday's and 3 day weekends.  This is a great time to get ahead of cycle workouts for all of us.  Looking forward to the weekend full of blackbelt classes and the white belt challenge.

This morning, I woke up at six o'clock and went running with my father. After school, we did another run. I am getting better, but I still have work to do. 

Today was a pretty good day ran 1 mile helped out for a class besides that can't think of anything else important I did today. Im hoping the Seahawks win the superbowl I dont think there's anyone left i dislike we chilling the bills would be good too anyways peace

Today was fun. I had a lot of homework today, but I was able to finish most of it in class. After school, I hung out with my friends which was fun. When I got home, I did a little studying then worked on curriculum.

Today was not the best. School was pretty normal so I don’t have much to say. After school I had some homework and went to taekwondo. I helped with class and got a mentor session to work on my staff form 3. After taekwondo I went home had some chicken and rice and studied for my test tomorrow.

Today I woke up pretty late so I could't do my requirements in the morning. I did them later, though. I went to school and I had Spanish, English, and Science homework. I kicked out some science pretty fast and math too. After I did my spanish and I headed over for sparring. After sparring I did my english homework. I like how I divided my time today because high school is no joke, there is so much homework! But, overall, my day was pretty productive and I felt very proud once it was over. I have a presentation tomorrow so I'm going to review that and head to bed. 

I got a lot done today.  Today I got two more class credits and a mentor and mentee session. Did my run on the walking pad because it's so cold outside. I've also had three vocabulary tests this week.  No class tomorrow!

SO UH, today was the middest day out of the most mid days ever:/. I went to school, had a math test-_-, came home did my lit homework then watched tv until it was time to go to sparing class. Sparring class wasn't very fun because I kicked too high and kicked someone in the nose😔. BUT, his mom said he was fine so I'm glad, after sparring class I went home, had dinner and did my requirements. GN!!  

Ah yes, Friday-eve today. simple and decent day as I got A honor roll certificate for last semester, and got to pick a reward. Pe was mostly fun as we played jailbreak and I started going crazy. Afterschool I went to Tkd to get class assistance in and did sparring class, and it was pretty fun. Looking forward to my pep rally tomorrow though.

Today was pretty alright, I woke up to go to school, not a lot of interesting things happened their. When I got home, I started doing my requirements. I noticed that my knee was feeling a lot better today but still nowhere near back to its original capabilities. I finished up my requirements and then went to sparring class. All was good, I got home and began to study, I got a couple tests tomorrow. After I finished studying for about an hour in a half, I iced my knee. Yesterday when I iced my knee, I used and icepack, today I filled up a bowl and added ice cubes to it. This made the whole process way more intense. Hopefully it will be feeling better tomorrow. Until then, - Lucas.  

I had school today i got to stuy for 4 tests tomorrow and today in gym i hit a new pr 180 lbs on the bench. 

Last night with Olive was really rough, but thankfully it didn’t weigh on me too much during the day. Sparring went great, and we had two new white belts in class who seemed to really enjoy it, which felt good. I’m ending the day hoping, and praying, for a more restful night tonight.

Today was pretty chill and easy-going as I didn't have much to do. When I went to school today, I learned a lot, and in PE, I got to do rotations, which was fun. When school was done, I forgot I had a Math Club, so when I reached home by bus, I quickly told my brother to drop me off back at school. I was pretty late for that, so my teachers were a little mad, but it was ok. We had our school competition to decide who would represent our school in a competition against other schools in the future. I think I did ok, but I'm not confident. Tomorrow, I have to wake up early to go to school and finish the rest of my math test in the competition, because I came late for "Math Counts." When I came home, I went to the YMCA to get my...

Work hard, study well and eat and sleep plenty. Some of you will know were I got that and some won't.  But I still think it is a good starting point.

Today was LONG! When I woke up, I got ready for school and grabbed a granola bar for breakfast. When I got to school, I again worked on my show with my friends. It is halfway animated and almost ready to go. After that, in math we learned about subtracting decimals. And then in reading, we read another chapter of our book. Then it was time for lunch. Today I brought grilled chicken and toppings to make a pita sandwich, and I also had this massive apple that we got the other night. We didn't get to go outside today because it "felt like 16 degrees out" so I got to stay with my AIG teacher. She gave me and Jackson a game board that I brought home to make a board game that goes with our show. You can play as one of the 4 boys and answer trivia questions...

Today was normal except it was really cold! and we had to still go outside for a walk at school but we had a substitute teacher which was good cause he let us do whatever so I got to work on some of my homework in that class and after school was nothing but homework and essays

It was a good day, school was good and I got a 100 on a biology quiz. Then was able to checkout early to go to the dentist. At home I mostly just did alot of physical requirements trying to get ahead as well as a mile which was way to cold outside. After I went to taekwondo where I assisted and led warm-ups for the 6:15 class as well as getting a mentor session in after.

Today was a pretty big day at school. Of course I knocked out all my requirements this morning beforehand. At school I had a math midterm. I feel super confident about it so I hope I did well. Later in the day I had a science test. I was really nervous but I did well. I also got to work on my mural in art class today which was fun! Today I actually had time after school so I did some homework and some extra practice on staff form 2! I think I’m  finally getting the hang of it 😅 Then was sparring, it was good. After TKD I just spent my time relaxing. Thank goodness tomorrows Friday… I’m really looking forward to this long weekend coming up!

Today was pretty normal. I went to school and worked on my book. I couldn't run outside, though. It didn't get above 35 degrees, so I hope it gets warmer.

Today was pretty normal, at school I had a few tests that went pretty well. I did my requirements before school. After school I worked on some essays and had a snack. Then I practiced and when to sparring, when we got home I realized I kind of hurt my foot. Hopefully it feel better tomarrow, and I'm happy the week is almost over!   

Had a decent day overall.  Training was cancelled this morning, so I didn't get in a mentor session.  I was still able to get physical things done and leaderships.  Should be able to get a black belt class in tomorrow, and maybe a sparring class or 2 this weekend.  Completing day 3 of my cleanse this evening.  Going pretty good! On a separate note, WOW it is cold!

Today was a very eventful day I had a dentist appointment, school, wrestling, homework, and Taekwondo. I got some good grades in school, wrestled my friend Jace, and helped out during Taekwondo class.

Today I did not have school because there were plumbing issues. I also don't have school on Friday due to the same issue. We won’t go back until Tuesday because we are off for MLK Jr Day. I hope next week we have a refresh of math, science, and CKLA so I can get better grades. Today I used the free day to get my chores caught up and worked on my physical requirements early.

Today I didn’t over sleep so that was good. I got all my normal morning workouts in then made it to school. School wasn’t really eventful other then the fact I got sent home with so much homework, but I just finished my workouts early so now I have time to do homework before I go assist with class later today. It was pretty cold outside so I ran the treadmill on incline today and that was really hard but I managed to get my mile without stopping. Hopefully I get to watch some of 2nd period of the sharks hockey game today when I get home. Oh, and I’m also gonna pick guitar as a new hobby because I really like music so I think it’ll be pretty cool. That’s all.

My day today was very productive! I woke up and got ready for school to learn! At school, we did some study and had some fun too exept when I had to deal with some girls! Once I came home, I took a shower and instead of playing games, I did my homework and played some basketball! I played my games after I did the essentials. After that I ate dinner and went to bed! Have a wonderful day! :)

at the end of the day, I made a birthday card for my assistant teacher because Saturday is her birthday.

Good day of classes today.  Lots of good self-defense work and kicking work today. Quite a few stripes were earned and even more students that just need to make a few minor changes to earn their stripes. And more work with Master Matthew and Instructor Caleb on self-defenses. A session with my mentees tonight with staff and stick work and then more stick work in class with Master Chelley. See some of you in sparring class tomorrow... have a good Thursday!

Today, I worked on kicks and poomsaes with my mentee and went to sparring class. I learned a new poomsae in belt class and worked with my mentor. Can home after class, ate and completed my homework.    

Today was a pretty good day in sparing class Antoine was cooking everyone just because also in black belt class we did the stick forms also I tried body armor a sports drink and there strawberry banana is a easy 8/10 beating out even fruit punch one of the best flavors of all time anyways peace

Woke up got  Dressed got on the bus there was a sub for socal studies. Got home got Dressed for Wednesday class help and led the Warm-ups.

I’ve just been keeping this pushing right now. I joined a new club at school and I’ve been practicing mostly poomsaes. I also taught a mentee today and I don’t think I did too bad. Still have a long way to go.

Today was a good day.  I did sparring, lack belt class and a mentor session.  I have a lot of work to do.

ALR SO uh, I woke up, got ready, went to school. In PE I ran another mile on the field, after school I came home and did my homework then went to TKD. During my time there I led punches and kicks then had a mentee session. After I got home I had some dinner then I was just talking with my friend for like 3 hours...

My day was ok i did good in school i can finaly under stand the math unit that i am doing. I also had sparring i got a really good round house kick to the face and it make my nose bleed and it busted my lip but i still fought but even harder after that because i do not quit. 

Today was a pretty simple day. At school we had run day in people where we just have to run basically for the class. I got a mile in and I wish it was outdoors but it was too cold outside. Finished up the rest of my school work after I got home and took a nap since I was tired. I didn’t go to Tkd and used this day to rest and recharge. I got my requirements today and ready to sleep 😴🥱 

It's a strange day. Cellphone service is down for a lot of people from my understanding.  Wifi is cool and everything but I work outside and need service to do my job properly. Oh well hopefully they get it settled by the morning. Have a great night everyone.

This week is the start of my spring semester for school. I'm currently taking an accounting class and so far it doesn't look too bad. I'm enrolled at Rowan Cabarrus Community College and I've had great teachers throughout all my semesters. The last semester in the fall, my teacher bought the whole class Chick-fil-A. This semester seems to be no different with a good teacher. Working on staying consistent with the cycle and getting a rhythm created so it doesn't feel too tedious. 

Today was another normal day I had a lot of tests today I think I had about 4 and after school I went to taekwondo for a couple classes to help out and I took a class to so its just another Wednesday

Hello! Checking in with another journal entry for this cycle. Today was a full but productive day. School was async, so I used the morning to study, catch up on work, and get a few things organized. I also cleaned up my space a bit, which honestly helped reset my focus. In the afternoon, I headed to TKD. I helped out in the Senior Tiger class, then took the Black Belt class where we worked on single stick (thanks again Aiden :> ) and poomsaes. After that, I had my mentor session (Thanks Master Weeks :> ), which went really well. I also finished my requirements today, which was a huge relief and a solid way to wrap things up. Wishing everyone a strong rest of the cycle! Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

Today wasn’t that great honestly. I overslept so I didn’t have time to do the amount of workouts that I normally do in the morning so that was frustrating. School wasn’t any better, but I will say class was really fun and I’m close to getting my 540 tornado so that’s exciting. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
