Today was a good, fairly normal, Friday. I got to bring a blanket to school, hang out with second graders and we had a tornado drill. When I got back from school I finished the signs for our fundraiser tomorrow and studied for the written test. Then U went to black belt class. I didn’t run or do any requirements today because I am letting my body rest so I am fit for tomorrow! I am a little nervous, but I know I can do it! I am super tired, I just uploaded all of my essays and now I’m getting ready for bed! I’ll see everyone bright and early!

Today was rough, because of the cycle. Today was fun though because today is Friday. The weekend had endorsement from labor unions & Jewish activists. Henery Ford gave them the Saturday off for capitalistic purposes. Inspite being a massive supporter of antisemitism he gave the day off so phis workers. would buy more of his cars.

Journal - Day 21

Good night, everyone! Today was an awesome day! I had a lot of fun at school with my friends, and it was nice. My eyes have been bothering me since last night, and when I woke up, they were blood-shot red. I don't know why, but I think it is because allergy season is coming around. After school, I took a very nice nap and studied for the written test tomorrow. Good luck, everyone! After tomorrow, we will be on the home stretch. Have a wonderful rest of your night!

Once I got to school there wasn't much to do execpt wait for my science test, which I did decent on, I got a 84%. Once I got home I just ate and heading to class, I got there like 30 minutes early by accident which was a accident, class was really easy since we just did cycle stuff, I also learned one of my answers were wrong on the test so now I fixed that and I am sure to get a 100%!!!

Tomorrow we have our Spring physical.....4 miles, burpees, jump roping, sit-ups, push-ups, ect.  We also have our written test. I took a practice one today and did okay... I got most of the questions correct, missed some wording/fine detail, so I marked them wrong.  I'm ging to study them a little bit more so i am prepared as possible for tomorrow.  We will also be doing poomsaes...not sure what else.   I am also going to go over my self defense and try to keep them straight in my mind.  I'm also getting my fruit tree or bush tomorrow.

CHILLS FROM MY SICKNESS (insert cool Jennifer Hudson esc vocals)!!!!

I am having the most painful coughing and have been on and off asleep. I will be alright, just gotta finish some homework and this beautiful journal :D   I KINDA LIKE SPARRING NOW!?   So I have never liked sparring, like, at all. However, something today just hit different. I felt like I connected with sparring when it came to teaching other kids sparring in the moment. I know a lot about sparring, the point system, all that jazz. Yet, I still somehow never fell in love with it like I feel like most others around my age do. But I taught this high red belt some of the basics and feedback on what he was already doing (which was very impressive) and it just hit. I find the good and enjoyment in things I do when I get to teach it. I love my job :D   Now it...

Thursday Journal Entry

Today, after school we had a track meet. I had to leave school early, at 2:45PM, and the meet was at Mountain Island Charter School, in Mr. Holly, it was almot anm hour drive with the traffic. I ran a i was running the 4 by 800m relay, and our team came on 3rd on our heat, we ran 9:40. And I ran a 400m, and I came in 10th place in my heat out of a field of 25, I ran 1:00.21, and I know I could've done much better, I really got messed up on the turn during the race, I would've had a much better time if I didn't get messed up on the turn. Tomorrow I will be getting my tree or plant, depending, but probably a plant that we can keep in the apartment. I still have my plants from my first blackbelt cycle, so that's...

Today was a good Thursday. I had a big test in math, and I’m so happy I got a super good score! This made me happy so I spent the rest of the day with a smile. When I got home I did a bunch of requirements, and I acted like it was the actual post-test to see how far I’ve come and what I could expect. I am definitely going to relax and rest tomorrow so I’m not worn out for Saturday. Before going to TKD I also worked on some signage for a fundraiser me and my family are doing for Bags Of Hope. Then I went to sparring, it was fine. But let me say, sparring is just not my thing… I am more of a poomsae type of girl. Anyway, there’s only 2 required sparrings left for me, so that’s a plus. Now I’m doing some chores...

No Sleep

I have fallen behind on a lot of things.  I have fallen behind on sleep.  I don't have much energy.  But I have so much to do for tomorrow and the next day and the next.  It's been an entire month of this... I can't wait until summer, until next year.  I will probably be in a better place for things by the time when the fall semester rolls around.  But for now, it's just back to pure pain.  And using the last of my energy to force that pain out of my mind.  Sleep is a luxury.  Being well rested and being in a good headspace is a privilege.  I have been trying to be a lot of things for a lot of people, amid failure after failure this semester when things went downhill.  I'm writing this at 11 central time, but I feel the weight of no sleep on...

SICK AND TIRED :C!!!!!

So I have been pretty ill and just plain tired the past week, and I have just had o energy to do anything that I don't have to mandatorily do. Now with this sickness that seems to keep returning into my immune system as some sort of test against my humanity, journaling has been the last thing on my mind, but I have come back and am ready to write my comedy once again!   BEING SICK MEANS EVERYTHING HURTS!   Teaching has been the literal death of me this week, as talking, singing, yelling, anything that utilizes my voice just hurts. I just wish I could be completely well, right now, no illness or cold or whatever is affecting my vocal cords right now. Tons of coughing, mucus, ya know, the gross stuff :D   So imma get my sleep and catch y'all tomorrow!

Saturday is the physical testing day. I like that programing languages are diffrent from one another but they can do each others jobs. You can use any language to  program a game, a website, or anything else. All it takes in knowhow & transpilation. This is the reason why I love computers.

Since there is no school today, I have decided to spend the day working on self-defense, poomsaes, and trying to work out my creative form. It's a challenge to do self-defense alone, so I'm hoping we go over self-defense in class tonight...hoping we have class tonight. I've decided to test on March 21. Butterflies have been swarming since I decided, but I think I'll be ok. I'm sure I will be 'fussed' at for one thing or another, but doesn't everyone get fussed at? I'm having trouble getting my 'dropbox' invite.....hope I receive it soon. However, if CMS doesn't allow it,  not sure what to do?!?!?

Tuesday Journal Entry

Today our seminary class was remote learning again, our teacher is sick. We have to do the assignments on our own, so I got to sleep an extra two hours. I'll do the assignment after-school today. I didn't go to track meet practice, to stay after-school for extra help. I stayed unto 4:30 and when I got picked up we ran errands and got home around 5. I had dinner, and am getting ready to go for a run around the neighborhood - that will be 1.7 miles and I'll get my physical fitness exercises done when I get back. I still have home-work too, so I should be lights-out by 11PM today.

Monday Journal Entry

Our seminary teacher is sick, so we had virtual seminary and had to read the lessons on our own and write a short paragraph on the lesson. Attending class in-person is easier. At school in the weight training room, I'm getting close to doing hand-stand pushups. I'll get there soon. After I  went to track practice, where I ran 4 200m, 2 400m, 1 800m, then 2 400m, so that counts for my cycle running. At home I had dinner and still have home-work and my exercises physical requirements to get done. Since we are doing virtual seminary again tomorrow, I can stay up a little later to get everything done.

Journal #49--3/3/25

ONLY 1 MORE JOURNAL needed after tonight!  After I got up and got ready for school we walked and I forced mommy to come all the way to the door with me.  For breakfast there was breakfast pizza but on a bagel.  When I got to class we played a few board games and we talked.  We had blocks, lunch and recess.  Next I rode the bus to King Tiger and I ran with Carter because Nixon left early AGAIN. After I ran I did some requirements and I did some of my HW for school.  We went home and had tacos for dinner and then mom had to take Anthony to a scout meeting and I did some more requirements and took a shower and got ready for bed.  Mom just got home and now I am doing my journal and going to bed.

3-3 Hapkido

Hapkidos are really hard to practice by yourself.  But I got a good few rounds of it.  I'm still not remembering them completely, but I'm getting there (at least on 1 through 4).

I miss Instructor Camp

I had a lot of things I had to deal with this weekend...  I started doing more rock climbing though.  I found that to be calming.  That, and burying myself in homework.  This is going to be a long semester.  I'm really not sure how it's going to go.  I got some mango ice cream with hot sauce.  It sounded crazy but it actually tasted good.  I missed Instructor Camp a lot.  This was the first time that I haven't gone to Instructor Camp.  I miss that community, where everything was easy to understand.

We had some dessert and watched the Oscar’s and now off to bed. ♥

This morning I ate a delicious breakfast and then got ready fro my day. Today I biked 15 miles, equivalent to 5 miles of running. I basically spent most of the morning doing that, watching some TV, relaxing and doing chores. Later, me, my sister, and my dad put up a volleyball net in our backyard.  Then I played with my sisters and neighbor for 3 hours. We played outside and then went up in our treehouse to play board games. Dinner was relaxed and then we watched the Oscars. It’s super late now (almost 10) so I’m going to bed!

At the end of yesterday I genuinely wasn’t able to walk correctly and my right leg was messed up and it still was today,...

Today is largely uneventful. My family is at a birthday party. Do you ever just have plans that go terribly wrong. I have so many that end terribly for several reasons. Some of them are due to external circumstances. Others are due to my own terrible time management skills. This day was still fun.

Had a great time at instructors camp this weekend with Grand Master Lee and the rest of the KT family that came out to Greenville. It was fun to see familiar faces and meet some new people. I enjoyed the mini sessions at Pitt College. With all the exercise, I didn’t do any requirements on Saturday.

National Banana Cream Pie Day! 03/02/25

I did nothing but essays today. I'm so tired from yesterday's Instructor Camp and I'm only running on about 3 hours of sleep. Everyone in my house keeps demanding me to do things and yelling at me and I'm just so tired of everyone right now. Today was the end of my nutrition challenge so that was cool I guess. Bye.

Brother

First of all I went to the sparring class at north Charlotte it was really fun although it's supposed to be 2 hours I had to leave around one hour early and he was really nice about it! By the way my brother isn't coming till tomorrow now because he wants to be with his mom some to for his birthday to. So mic drop he is actually my half brother we have the same dad but not the same mom and know he is 33 so that's old compared to the fact that am his sister and I'm 10. He really could be my dad but he isn't. If your wondering no I don't have a step mom or dad. I'm not related to his mom at all. And he lives somewhere in Clemson with his friend and dog for now. I really wish they were coming today meaning my...

A lot of yesterday!

Yesterday we did a lot but today I'm doing even more. Yesterday my dad cut down a tree while me and my mom picked up sticks and pinecones in the back yard. It was really windy so we came back inside and dicided we would cut down the other trees later. By the way we aren't cutting them all down only 2 because there dead. I did another essay and then played on my iPad for 1h 30 min it was fun then I watched the Mummy! I love that movie! Then I had to quickly do my requirements before heading to my Grandparents for dinner and dessert. At their house we ate dinner played a bit but I still had to run so we left around 7:45 My dad was driving so he dropped me and my mom off at the park and we ran the rest of the way...

03/01/25 done Sunday

Sorry, I forgot to post on Saturday itself.  It was a very nice day, got outside again to enjoy the weather and do some exercising and do the requirements. I also sat outside and studied for the written test.  I also got to walk my neighbor's dog Shelby because her older dog we found out has cancer and will be put to sleep on Monday. This is sad because it makes me think of our old family dog that got sick several years ago.  We were outside last night too until the wind got too much.  I hope everyone got to enjoy their Saturday and I hope our instructor's had a good time at their instructor camp!

Today was good, I was happy it is weekend. In the morning I didn’t have to wake up early, which was nice. We had a good breakfast, we had eggs and pancakes. After that we did some thing we had to do and then I played on my iPad for a little bit. Then we went to a Davidson girls basketball game, and they won! When we got back we had some dinner. Then we played with our friend, now we are relaxing and watching some TV.
