Today was nice because we were able to sleep in again. I was really looking forward to being able to go outside and maybe make a snowman today. My mom and I went outside, and I got to sweeping the snow around to make a mini soccer field. We realized that the snow wasn't making snowballs easily, so we decided to not do the snowman. We instead decided to try and clear our driveway off which was a lot of work and took longer than expected. Thankfully though I was able to use up a lot of my 12 hours of no electronics in the process. I also worked on finishing up this Lego gum ball machine toy that we got a week or so again. Busy work is nice when you can't leave the house. I also went ahead and did my remote learning homework for tomorrow to get that...

I finally got to sleep in this morning! I love Sundays. I pretty much just relaxed for most of the day. But I did make lunch for my family and made a big dent on my essays. I also spent some time in the snow… clearing it off the driveway and playing in it too. Now we’re watching a movie all together and because of the snow school is off tomorrow so I’m looking forward to having some time. Hope everyone has a great week! 

Toady was pretty good. I woke up and made myself some waffles for breakfast. After breakfast I did my laundry and helped my dad clean the washing machine since something clogged it. After that I had lunch and player with my friends for a bit. By the time it was dinner I was starving and I ate the curry my mom made. I’m about to sleep now and am not excited for e-learning tomorrow.

Second day of snow went okay. I'm kind of done with the cold and looking forward to spring already. As I expected school is virtual tomorrow so I won't have to drive anywhere. I'm not fully comfortable with driving in these road conditions but at the same time I do find it fun. Luckily we got the roads in our neighborhood cleared out faster than last week since its not icy and compact. 

Today was kinda on autopilot. The snow from yesterday was still around, but it melted just enough to make everything look messy instead of pretty. I got my requirements done and practiced the lower belt forms, but I skipped the run — the snow was basically my excuse and I didn’t fight it. The rest of the day was chill. I read a little, finished what I needed to, and just tried to stay warm. Nothing crazy, just a simple day with leftover winter vibes. Hope everyone’s staying warm and hanging in there. Good luck with the rest of the cycle! — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ( •̀ ω •́ )y ✨  

Today was also a bit boring. I woke up did NOTHING at ALL, watched yt all day, then later ran a mile and did my requirements.

Another snow chill day today. I went sledding and walked another mile. Too much snow everywhere. I did my requirements, built a snowman with my sister and had early dinner. And found out tomorrow is remote day :)

Today was a chill snow day.  I played in the snow and played with my friends.

Today was a good day. It was more of a recovery day, although I still did all my requirements just not the mile. After I went out in the snow the came back and did some stretching.

chill day. i watched two movies with my dad and played in the snow. I had a fun chill day. overall 9/10. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

It felt really good to sleep in this morning! I got up and went for a walk with my family. Then we all shoveled the driveway together and had some lunch. We relaxed with a movie and then I got to work on my requirements. I'm trying to take advantage of the snow days by getting ahead on requirements when I can. Today was day 10/30 for my no sweets challenge. I think I'm doing better, I'm not craving them a lot anymore even though I would love to munch on some chocolate right now! Stay safe and warm. Keep working hard everyone! Have a great start to the week! ~ Peyton

Day 29: The army of snowmen! Today, I apparently did mostly nothing today because of all the snow. We built a bunch of snowmen! First, we made one in our backyard! It looked mostly like a mountain but it was unique! The second one we built was with our friend! Then, we built another snowman at the same place and took some wonderful photos! A fourth snowman along with some other cool creations was built by our next door neighbors! They also built a castle, and a fifth snowman, and a giant snowball. Speaking of snowball, I played a snowball fight with my other friends and played indoors, too. After that, I did my martial arts practice, watched a manga series, and ate some dinner! We did not have school tommorow, so I  stayed up then went to bed. have fun with the snow before it Melts guys!

Today I woke up early and got my run over with. I am 3 minutes away from my goal of running less than 30 minutes for 4 miles. I finished up the rest of my requirements relatively early. The cycle has gotten more intense with an increase in minutes for everything. At about 10 in the morning my parents told me I was shoveling the snow off the driveway. That took a lot longer than I thought. We ended up getting roughly 9 inches of snow; that has to be some kind of record. This will make day 2 of my nutrition challenge, I am eating 100 percent natural foods, nothing that has been in through factory, has chemicals, or fake sugars. One difference I can already tell is my energy level has been a lot higher than usual. Its almost like the food humans were meant to eat, serve us...

Today is a snowy day and I love it dont know if y'all do but it is really fun and cold.Me and my friend denim went outside to play in the snow because why not you know.

my dad is  going to take me sledding and I'm going to make a jump and fly like a bird. I already got my requirements from class yesterday so this is a fun day for me.

I practiced some taekwondo and then I went outside and walked around in the snow. It was super cold outside and I slipped a bunch of times.

My dad was boring I didn’t do much I just did some personal work then I practiced some takwando and worked out 

Today was a good day.  It snowed 10 inches the last time I checked.  The best part was riding my electric dirt bike in the snow and playing with my dog.

Today started off pretty normal… until it wasn’t. It actually snowed and I'm not saying a little. This was way more than what I remembered! even from 2018, and honestly, I haven’t seen this much snow in years. Once I got over the surprise, I ended up recording my videos and uploading them to the group (which was definitely out of my comfort zone, but hey, it’s done now). After that, I knocked out my requirements, read for a bit, and finished the rest of my work. Overall, a pretty productive day wrapped in a whole lot of snow. Hope everyone’s staying warm and doing well. Good luck for the rest of the cycle! — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷  (≧∇≦)ﾉ ❄️        

today was great i've never had this much snow where i live so thats wild and me and my friend were just outside in the snow a lot and now shes spending the night here so its a double score 

Today was a good day played in the snow and shoveled it out of the driveway probably gonna have to do it again tomorrow also did my blackbelt video im gonna have too work on my self defense and staff form maybe I should try it in the snow anyways peace

Today was a winter storm today. I got up this morning to go to Black Belt class but our street was covered with snow. So I was able to go back to bed and later got up and ate, and watch the snow fall. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day so I am glad I was able to get some rest today.

It has never snowed this much down in Charlotte In my entire life. I woke up and it was around 2 inches, it’s 10 when I’m writing this and it’s up to 10 inches where I’m at. After I didn’t my requirements me and my brother went outside and sledded down the hill and did other snow stuff for a couple hours, then came inside for lunch. Then I got some school work done and now I’m watching the golden knights game while writing another one of my essays. Anyway I hope this snow doesn’t melt too soon cause we didn’t finish our snowman.

Today was boring because it snowed and I didn't get to go anywhere, and when I say it snowed I mean IT SNOWED. So all I did was sit at home and I did record the videos for the credit for the weekend black belt class. Then I just stayed home and played on my pc all day. Later I did my requirements.

I went to class this morning on the snow!! Had an awesome black belt class got requirements done for 2 days. Then went home and enjoyed the snow witj my family and friends. It was an amazing amount of snow here! 

Today was great! There’s was SOO much snow! When we woke up everything was white. We were out side for the whole day, we built a ramp on our stairs which was great for sledding! We also made an outside fire and make snow hot dogs which were really good. In the evening I did the requirements and had a snack. It never did stop snowing, so hopefully the snow sticks until tomorrow! ❄️❄️❄️

This is the best snow day I have ever seen. I'm so glad its good snow and not ice. I slipped and fell on my butt within five minutes of being outside in it. Luckily I didn't have anywhere to go so no driving in the snow for me. Maybe it would be fun to drive around the neighborhood and test the traction. Hopefully my school opens back up early next week. I only have class on Mondays and Wednesdays so I haven't been back and I need to. Our cat and dog hated being outside today. The dog is a toy poodle who is slightly less than a foot tall, and my brother took her outside and put her in the snow to see what would happen. All you could see was her head poking out and she ran back inside after that. I think it'll be done snowing tomorrow...

Today I woke up with tons of snow around the house so I was unable to attend to Taekwondo. However, I showed my black belt poomsae and self defense on BB website to get the credit. Master Evins was able to show me the #6 self defense. Then I worked on my requirements and I walked my dog 1 mile, i am tired and sleepy. Good night!

Another snow day today! This time, it was much larger and less icy. Besides hanging out outside, I mostly spent the day doing requirements and my tutoring. Hoping that this snow continues so we don’t have to go to school lol.

Today was a good day. I woke up then recorded my Poomsae and self defence for BBC credit. After I did my physical requirements and practiced some more on my Poomsae and self defence then stretched.

Wow, so much snow outside. I played outside with my friends for almost 2 hours, and my whole body was numb. We went sledding on a hill, threw snow at each other, and did some other stuff. I also ran a mile outside, and it was my slowest mile yet, because I could barely move my feet out of the 6-inch snow. I finished my daily requirements and took a video of myself doing my self-defense and poomsae to get a BBC Credit. I feel stronger than I was at the beginning of the cycle, and I can also see the difference. I am really glad of my progress and happy that the Cycle is almost one month in.

Today was a really fun day. First I woke up, and saw out of my window, and I was stunned. It was like the whole world turned white because it was snowing like crazy. Then, almost the whole day was me trying to animate a 1st person roller coaster in this software called blender. I needed to submit this to my club in school. Then after I finished it, I went outside and thought the snow would be like a week ago, but the snow was wayyyyyy bigger and deeper. It was like the world wanted to go to sleep and it took a big white blanket. Then I went to play in the snow. Then I went inside, watched a movie and that was my day

This morning my mom woke me up early when she went to feed my dog. As soon as she said it had been snowing, I JUMPED out of bed and went to go see. I spent a lot of my time off of my electronics today so I could focus on doing my (2) 12 hours without them for my essay, so today was a good day to do that. Instead, I was outside devising a way to clear the snow path. Unfortunately, it kept obviously getting covered back up but it still made for a lot of fun. My dog has a snow jacket that we put on him each time he went outside. Earlier this morning, the snow wasn't too bad, but by dinner time, he was nearly up to his belly in snow. I worked to clear a path for him to use when he goes to the...

What a snow day! When I got up this morning there was practically a blizzard happening outside. It’s crazy, as long as I’ve lived here NC has never had this much snow. It literally didn’t stop all day 😆 Outside we did a lot of good sledding and watched as the inches of snow increased all the way up to 11 inches by the end of the day! I hope everyone had a good time in the snow and enjoys the rest of their weekend :)

Weeks 5-8 of BBC are going to feel like the hardest and longest weeks of your life, at least for me they do. Most of the requirements will max out, the essay deadlines will start approaching, school will get busy, life will get busy, and you will still have the same amount of time in a day to get things done. But after these four weeks, its all downhill. So...embrace the challenge, enjoy the small victories like the snow and going out with your friends, because its going to be hard but if you make it past this you will feel really proud of yourself on the other side. Have a great weekend! ~ Peyton

Day 28: A very big snow day as if I was buried under concreate! Today I felt so good because snow was here and it was amazing! I played all day, ate some snow mixed with soda, made a snow cave, made a snowman, and made snow angels! After that, I took some pictures with my family and we mostly stayed inside but we also went outside a lot. I did some martial arts practice and ate my dinner, then went to bed. Have a good weekend!

Well I messed up I do about 100 pushups, 100 situps and 100 squates a day, take Sundays to rest sometimes but I have alwasy done total not minutes and jsut realized I am done with pushups already beacuse I have done the log in wrong, I did not do 100 minutes of pushups. lol  I will fix it soon. 

Trekked through the snow this morning to get to Black belt class and what a crate black belt class we had. It was such a great start to my day. Then I got to come home and play in the snow with my dog and my son and have the best Saturday ever!

Today feels like we are in the middle of a blizzard. When I went to class this morning, snow was already accumulating. there was only about an inch or 2 on the ground. Right now I would say there is about 7 inches of snow on the ground. It is supposed to keep up like this until late tonight. The snow feels like powder, it is so soft. Anyways, I started the 30 day nutrition challenge. My plan is to cut out all artificial flavors and sweeteners, along with unhealthy frozen foods. So I guess that means I am only eating 100 percent natural foods, nothing processed. It might be more difficult than I would think because I can't just go heat something up in the microwave, I actually have to make every meal. I hope all goes well and everyone stays safe and warm through the storm.

Today was my first full day of school. Nothing really happened, it was an ordinary day. After that, I went to my taekwondo and practice my rolls and falls. I also worked on my forms and self defense. 

So another winter storm is coming.  I'm not very happy about that. I'm going to have to work Saturdays if this keeps up.

Woke up did a test in math and in ag got an 80 on both. Got home did Friday classes.

I woke up at 4 am to get my requirements done and then I studied for my tests. I had three tests today, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I went to KT for BBC and after had piano class. I got home and am very tired.

Today was a good day ran two miles went to blackbelt and sparing class at Harrisburg and im gonna do the blackbelt class video for tomorrow. Hopefully we get enough snow to play in but not enough where it's annoying so we have to shovel out the driveway anyways peace

Today started off rough but it got better. In school I was drained because I messed up my sleep schedule while on the “ break “ we had during the ice storm. Then I got a lot of work due next week but hopefully since we’re getting snow storm pt.2 that’ll push back some due dates. When I got home I knocked my mile out and my friend came over to help me with my kicking and self defense so that was fun. I also taught her how to do a hip throw. Then I had black belt class and sparring and sparring was great. Some new people came today and they were fun to watch and spar with. That’s pretty much it. I hope we wake up to actual snow this time, but I’m not getting my hopes up in clt. 

Today was pretty good. School was the same and I had dungeons and dragons club after. After my club I went to taekwondo and took the black belt class and sparring class. Towards the end of sparring I got kicked really hard in the quad and it really hurt. I still managed to finish the class and when I got home I had a massive bruise on it. My mom made some shrimp curry for dinner which was really good. And now I’m about to sleep. Bye.

Today was pretty normal… or at least it felt like it until I realized school was actually two hours late;  about thirty minutes after I’d already started getting ready. Uhhh anyway, I used the extra time to knock out my requirements and get some work done. I also wrote a few of my essays, which was actually kinda nice to get out of the way. The rest of the day was pretty chill, and now I’m just wondering if it’ll actually snow tonight/tmrw or if the weather’s just lying again ♪(^∇^*) Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck for the rest of the cycle! Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

Today was the first normal day back at school and also the first full day back after the ice storm last week so that was something and i cant say if it was good or bad that it went back to normal because i had to get early but we did get back onto a schedule so i dont really know how to be about that but i did go a early morning club thing and after school i went to taekwondo to get a couple classes in but i hope for tomorrow there is a couple inches of snow

Today was a late workout day.  I got a new school Chromebook because my friend accidentally broke mine at school.  I got some classes in today and a mentor session.  I did my workout and requirements.  I'm now chilling with my dog watching YouTube.

I guess today will be the last day of classes for the week. With the snow expected tonight no classes tomorrow. I hope its good snow and not the icy stuff we got last week. Also I hope everything doesn't get shutdown for very long. I haven't been to school in two weeks now and its really unhelpful with understanding my work. Mainly I'm just excited for tomorrow to see what happens I want to figure out something fun to do with the snow instead of just sit inside. 

Already done with January basically, and we are going to have more snow/ice tomorrow . Today was a pretty simple day, as school was finally regular , and normal. I went to Black belt class as usual and did rolls and falls . Class might get canceled tomorrow though due to all the wintry weather. That is mostly it for today.

This month passed by so quickly in my opinion. I’m excited for the snow day tomorrow and hopefully I actually get to go outside. Other than that, class today was pretty manageable, got a lot of work done. Excited to see what February has in stock for me.

Today was ok, I woke up to a normal school day. I went to school, came home, did my homework then went to TKD for a mentor session, rolls and falls class, and BB class. After I left class I went to pick up a pizza and then went home and ate. Later I did my requirements.

I don't know if it's the same for everyone but this month has flown by.  I would love to still have class tomorrow...videoing myself doing anything is not my cup of tea😁 But if the snow does happen I am making chili tomorrow, have plenty of requirements to work on and I feel like my cold is finally moving out.  If my ears would stop popping I would appreciate that too!  Hope everyone is warm and safe this weekend and getting some work done...but also enjoying some fun, hot cocoa and some serious relaxing on a snowy day time too!

Today was a much easier school day when compared to yesterday. I ended up not getting any homework for the weekend. Although some teachers already assigned assignments for Monday just in case school gets canceled because of the upcoming snow. Speaking of which, I hope that black belt class at the Lake Norman location does not get canceled tomorrow morning because of weather. When I came home from school, I tried to squeeze in some requirements before weekday black belt class. After black belt class, me and my family went over to the grocery store to stock up on food for the weekend. I came home and ate dinner and will soon be going to bed to prepare for tomorrow morning's class (hopefully) - Lucas

Happy Friday!! A little less tired than yesterday but still just physically and mentally exhausted from the week. I had 2 tests today which I think went ok, I don't have my grade back from them yet. I went straight to work, mentee session, falls and rolls class, BBC, and mentor session. My dad made some really good chili tonight for dinner and I'm finishing up the rest of my requirements now. And while I don't really like snow because its cold and makes daily activities much more complicated, I'm hoping for another remote learning day on Monday so that I can sleep in until 7! Have a great weekend everyone! Remember to keep working on your essays, getting ahead on requirements, and taking rests/breaks so you don't burn yourself out! ~ Peyton

Today was pretty good, nothing really happened. There was another 2 hour delay this morning, so I did some of the requirements and played outside a little. At school I had a few test that went very well. After school we went straight to BBC and roll and falls, which I definitely want to work on. When we got home I had some dinner and finished up the requirements. Now I am relaxing and watching some TV. Hoping for some real snow! 🌨❄️☃️

Today was another pretty average day. Of course I’m happy it’s Friday though! We’ve had a long school week ;) We had a 2 hour delay again today which was nice, I was able to get some stuff done before school. Straight after school I went to KT for Master Marcus’ rolls and falls class and BBC. Then I came home and ate dinner and now I’m watching TV. I am really hoping for some real snow this weekend! Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

Day 27: Snow everywhere pals! Today was very miserable because I got sick and had some tummy problems! I did do my practice and exercise, but not as much as the other previous days. When my sister came home from school, I still had to sleep until seven pm. When I talked to alexa, she said snow is coming right at 8 pm when I started writing this journal! Have a fun weekend, guys!:D

School was pretty normal and fun, I guess. We learned some new topics, reviewed, and got ready for this weekend with materials, because it may snow a lot. Also, in PE, I played volleyball with my friends and got some good shots. When I came back, I relaxed and finished my requirements because I didn't have any homework. I then got ready for Taekwondo and learned that tomorrow it is closed, so I tried to get as many requirements as possible. I had a fun black belt class, and then in sparring class, I got a bloody nose, but I'm fine now. I am excited for this weekend and next week, because we may have no school again!

who is excited for the snow tomorrow? I am we are excepted to get 4-6 inches. I had a great black belt class tonight and got a leadership credit. This is my last day for my digital detox, and will start my essay on Monday if we get a snow day from school.

Today was a good day. It was pretty relaxed not going to taekwondo although after school I did go to the gym where I ran 2 miles and got all my physical requirements done. After I went home and did some stretching.

Today is Friday and I woke up, went to school got a hundred in a class, came home played video games, into chores and now I'm about to watch a show with my mom.

Hi hope 'you are having a good day. And I also hope that it will snow tomorrow because my and my little sister love the snow we sometimes do mini snowball fights and just  run around.

Hello I am back been  hecktict several days due to work, I do enironmental work nationwide and sometimes it is difficult to compelte due to the ice and snow. Anyway back on track in time for the next storm. See you all on the mat. 

today was a normal school day. for my elective I had drama for my elective. it was chill. I hope the next day will be more exciting 

The good thing about all these snow days is I can get ahead of in my requirements.  However, I wish I was a kid down in NC when it snowed because I never received a snow/remote learning day when the roads were clear.

I got to sleep in this morning since it was a two hour delay school day. I was still sliding on ice in the driveway as I was trying to get to the car. I am still hurting from falling after practice yesterday but I must admit, I grateful that I am in a little bit in shape because things could have been worse.

Today was a good day ran two miles and accidently fell on the treadmill but we good also helped with class today we did forms and breaking techniques. Tomorrow im going to go to Harrisburg to do sparing and blackbelt class also hopefully it's actually snow instead of a bunch of ice this week anyways peace

This morning I went to training with the other masters and instructors. We covered some of the higher belt poomsaes that I have not practiced before and third dan self defense. I needed to really work on my self defense and make sure how to do it, so it helped me tremendously. Now I need to add that to the self defense practice daily. I've learned it before but haven't practiced it enough to really memorize it. Also had senior tigers and adult testing which went well tonight. 

Today was again a pretty normal day but we did have a 2 hour delay so got to get to school later than normal but i did have to do a couple assignments because of being out of school and one of my teachers said we should do work for what we missed over those days so other than that a pretty normal day.

We had a two hour delay today, which was really nice as I didn’t have to wake up so early. School today was relatively calm, not much happened. I was also able to help out with belt testing as that was happening today. Sad that school isn’t delayed for tomorrow.

My day was good school for me was delayed for 2 hours so that was good and every clase was just 30 mins. I hit chest at school during gym class then later I went to king tigers to help out in class.

The best part about the temperature being in the twenties is, it feels balmy when it is in the forties.

Today was pretty normal, I woke up early even though my school had a 2 hour delay so school started at 10am. School was normal ish.. each of our classes were like 10 mins shorter than usual. After school I came home with homework, so that's what I did for a while until it was time to go to TKD. At King Tiger I led warm ups and assisted in a class before sparring class. I took sparring class, then after that I went to got Chick fil A for dinner then went home and ate. After I ate, I did my requirements as well as run 2 miles on a treadmil.

Started the day by waking up at 5 am… yea my dad’s number got saved as mine on my phone so his colleagues were calling me instead of him. I went to school and we had a math test today which I found to be really easy. After school I went to taekwondo and helped out with testing. I did do some sparring which was fun. After taekwondo I came home and ate some dinner.

Normal Day. I had a 2-hour delay schedule for school, so everything was wonky. We did some review and catch-up from the whole 5-day "weekend." I didn't get to go to the Dojang to help out with testing because I forgot, but I won't next time. I had to finish this project that I started today, and it was a little challenging. I had to write a letter and then do stuff to it, like burning it, to make it look like it was made in the 1950s. That was pretty fun, and I realized that it wasn't that bad. I finished my requirements, and I am about to go to sleep. Bye.

Today was pretty normal. We had a 2 hour delay so I didn’t go to school until 11:15. Other than that school was just like any other day. After school I had a snack and went straight to sparring. I didn’t get my ankle banged up today 😅 I am really hoping that we get some good snow on Saturday!! Tomorrow we get another 2 hour delay! Anyways, hope everyone has a Good Friday tomorrow!

Today I finally went back to school for the first time since like 2 weeks ago because of all the delays and stuff. We had a 2 hour delay so it was a shortened day which I liked a lot. I have a lot of school stuff to catch up on as I have to also catch up on some requirements. Went to sparring today and that was fun and I also assisted class. Now I’m about to go to bed so that is mostly it for today.

Today was quite rough. Last night I hardly got any REM sleep. For some reason I had some crazy insomnia. I thought I would easily get over this for the day which I did. Unfortunately school was very difficult today. I guess all the teachers piled on assignments to make up for the couple days of school we missed. After my exhausting school day I went to King Tiger for leaderships and a mentor session. I came home and tried to knock out my requirements before class but I could not get them all finished. I went back to King Tiger for a mentee session and sparring class. After sparring class was when the lack of sleep was really catching up to me. When I came home for a second time after class, I had to finish my requirements, eat dinner, and also study for a pretty big math test. I probably...

Today was ok, it was our first day back to school after a couple of day. Before school I did some of the requirements. Nothing really happened at school today. When we got back I had a snack and then we went to sparring, which was ok. When we got home I finished up some homework. Now I am finishing up the requirements and relaxing.

Today was a busy day. I had to go to 3 appointments today! An allergist appointment, eye doctor appointment, and my psychiatrist appointment for my ADHD. I got to try the viral chicken bake from Costco. Then I came home to do some laundry and went to class tonight. I got to help with class to get my leadership credit. After class I got to work with my mentee, Mateem, and we worked on tornado kick, Oh Chang, and blue belt self defense 1-6. I also got to help Jace with his blue belt self defense 1-3. And Anustri (hope I spelled that right) with her blue belt 1-6 also. Then I came home to work on my physical requirements for the day! I finally go back to school tomorrow with a 2 hour delay after being out for the whole week.

Today was pretty normal. School started 2 hours late, so I did my requirements and ran a few miles! Once that was finished, I came back home, Studied and did my work before going to TKD to help with the Senior Tigers, Lead Warm-Ups, had a mentee session and mentor session! And not sure if it'll snow a lot on Saturday though ψ(｀∇´)ψ Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck for the rest of the cycle! Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

Today was cool. After school I got to go help with the later testing. I got to help with self defense and some board breaking for the first time so that was alright. I also got to spar. 

Today was a good day. I was back to school today although with a 2 hour delay. After I did a lot of physical requirements and finally went back out and running today where I was able to get 3 miles. After I went to taekwondo and was able to get a mentee session.

Overall, just really tired today. I had my English presentation today which went well. I came home, went running, finished up requirements, and went to sparring. Thankfully sparring class was more drills than actual sparring so I didn't expend too much energy. My dad and I got some Chick-fil-A on the way home so that was nice. I've got a bio and English test tomorrow that I need to study for and then off to bed. Have a great Friday everyone! ~ Peyton

Today was the first day back to school after three days. It was a good morning although I didn't get a lot of sleep last night because my stomach was upset with something I ate. This morning since there was a 2-hour delay, I went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. I ate pancakes and bacon for breakfast and took my leftovers for lunch since the portions are always too big. After that, I went to school. School was mid. We didn't go outside today, and we did a lot of review of the stuff we've been working on. We did get to have indoor recess though which was nice. After that, we had lunch and it was kind of rushed because we took too long getting food from the cafeteria. For lunch, everyone ate in their classrooms but even if we bring our lunch we all have to walk there and...

I went to school today and then I went to KT to do sparring. I'm seeing improvement every class. After I went home and I'm studying for three tests I have tomorrow. 

We went back to school today, and I came home did requirements and sparring. I have finished my grit workbook and starting on that essay. 

Today was pretty normal, but when I was practicing my trumpet i dropped it by accident, and the mouthpiece got stuck! i'm going to get it removed tomorrow and on spring break i'm going to get the whole thing fixed because a piece broke.

Day 26: School time starts for now. Today was such a hazzard! I tried going to school, but ice surounded our house everywhere. When I arrived at school, I found out another winter storm was coming with heavy snow during the weekend! When I came back home, my mom told me to go in the wardrobe to get sticky notes for my password to write these journals! After that, at dusk, I decided to do some practice and exercise. Finally, that was the end of the day! Hope you all have a great start tomorow and I hope I don't fall on ice, too.

Today we had remote day school and finished all my assignments in a good time. I worked on my requirements, ate and went to taekwondo. I did class assistance, leadership and a mentor session. Also, I heard on the news that we are getting another snow storm this weekend.. I guess we are having more snow and remote day school lol. Good night all.

Today was pretty calm. Since it was Wednesday, School was Async. So, I finished my work in a few hours and did my requirements and ran a few miles! Once that was finished, I came back home, cleaned up the space a bit then got ready to go to TKD and I helped out with the Senior Tigers, Lead Warm-Ups, had a mentee session, my first sparring class AND Black belt class! It was a long day. Still not sure if it'll snow a lot on Saturday though, and I feel like the Senior belt testing came up really quickly this time (idk if its only just me) :>  Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck for the rest of the cycle! Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷  

Today was a good day went too sparing class and did a few 2V1s in blackbelt class we did 1-6 of hapkido number 6 is my new favorite i also did a mentee and mentor session working on self defense for both of them and my bolo form anyways peace

Today was a kind of normal Wednesday except it was a digital learning day for school so i had to do all of my work on a computer instead of being there because some places still have ice in the county and after that i went to taekwondo

Today was ok, we didn’t really do much. Today was a remote day, which is sadly the last….for now. But at least tomorrow there is a two hour delay! After I finished my school work, I did the requirements. When we were on a run, I did slip and landed straight on my tail bone…which really hurt. Then we went to TKD for a little bit to help at a class. After we went to a DC girls basketball game, which they sadly lost. Now I am getting ready for bed.  

Wow, tomorrow we have a 2-hour delay. It would almost be a 6-day weekend, and that is crazy. Today, I didn't do much. I helped out with testing in the Harrisburg Dojang with the Junior Tigers and helped them break boards. That was really cool and made me feel good about myself. After all that, I went to the YMCA to get a workout in, and it didn't go that well. I didn't feel that great, so I ended my workout pretty early. We may be getting more snow this weekend, so I am excited. More days off, more time to practice Taekwondo.

Today and tomorrow we have testing going on. Junior tigers today and senior tigers on up tomorrow. Testing today is pretty simple since there's no self defenses and its mainly working on basics. All the students performed well and the testing was great. No school for me today since the college is staying closed. Honestly I don't think its necessary, the roads seem fine now. Also I've seen the possibility of having more snow on Saturday and am kind of tired of it. I'll take some good snow but I don't want any more ice.

It's funny how the algorithm starts feeding all sorts of martial arts content as the cycle progresses. This is one of the reasons I'm not a fan of the internet. The constant tracking and pandering makes for a less than authentic experience in my personal opinion.

Day 25: As a kid, today was not so bad! I did every single color belt poomsae and my bocho- dan one! I also found out it will snow again this weekend. Plus, I have school tommorow with a two hour delay on top. And guess what? We even have snow next Thursday! I am very exited about the snow that will be here! We might have a few days off, which I could use to practice. Finally, I did my self defense from white belt to high yellow, then a little bit of green belt! I hope you have a safe weekend! I don't know if it will snow and the chances of it!
