Candidate Journals

Orientation for schools starts tomorrow so I got to wake up early once more. Going to explore the campus and learn the syllabus, surely I won't doze off. Didn't have much to do today as it went by boringly.  

Today I woke up early to go on a run. Then I got ready for school and had breakfest. Today at school, I played basketball, studied for a quiz, and took lots of notes. After school, I had work and got a leadership credit, class assistance credit, mentor session, mentee session, and a weekday black belt class. Tonight, I had dinner, did my homework, and did my chores. Goodnight everyone. 

This Monday, I woke up early to go to my class at campus, I moved around a lot as I was getting a feel for how things went again like the syllabus procedures, EVA's and everything else. As it ended I went home to rest before doing the necessities for the day. I also starting looking through my classes online and seeing everything that was shown.

Monday means school and school means homework. Today was a sleepy day for me, school went by very slowly and I almost fell asleep in physics. I went to the dojang in the evening, got my credits, hung for a little watching the next class, and went home.

I went running this morning with my Dad and came home and worked on my exercises. He helped me with my self-defense, and I worked on my pomsaes. I went to my school to meet my teacher for open house. I'm ready for school tomorrow. I will keep working hard on my black belt cycle. 

Hi King Tiger Family. I hope you all had a good Monday. Great day today. Work was not too bad. Then onto class and instructing. I really like working with the kids. I got a red belt today that just wanted to learn and was working hard on his poomsae. It was great to see kids learning and pushing themselves. It is always a pleasure to help out. Take care. 

Today is the last day of summer and I got middle school tomorrow. And today was a very busy day today because we went clothes shopping then went home picked up a friend of mine and hung out then went to taekwondo. Looks like I missed number my journals, I had to go back and edit the journal numbers. Glad I caught this.

Still not feeling well but I think today was better than the last two.  At least, I hope so.  The Cycle is no time to be out sick.  I'm OK on Leadership 1 - it's leading warmups and whatnot that I'm worried about.  And, of course, mentoring and Black Belt classes, etc.  I think I'll be good, though, since I think I'm on the mend.  It's just extra hot and sweaty doing all this work while I'm fighting this cold. I got most of my requirements done in between work and dinner.  I even did an extra round of jump rope (on accident).  I tried doing all the non-weapons forms to see if I could get them done within 15 minutes and just barely squeezed them all in.  I think the dog was very confused by it, though. Since Gabe was teaching class tonight, I started dinner but forgot she had...

I woke up and then had a doctors appointment after that I did my exercise had lunch watched some Yt then finished my exercise then had dinner then helped with class went and ice cream with my dad then called my friend. Good night.

Today I got up and ran with my dad for the first time this cycle because he was having some calf issues and couldn't really run for a while, but was finally able to go which was a treat. After that we happened to go to the gym at Crossfit Harrisburg. We did some arms and back, after that my arms where cooked but it felt good. After I chilled out for a while and went to work which was great and we even had our first PMA class that today so over all a wonderful day.

Today I woke up early to get to the bus to go to school, after school I went home did some of my requirements then had to get to soccer practice after that I did the rest of my requirements.

Today, i did woke up and had chikifila. then i did my physical requirements. I went to PMAA then went to do some errands. I'm going to school tomorrow and it will be my first day back. I hope it will be a good day. Okay i'm done now.

Today I woke up  ran only one mile because I hurt my knee but I am fine now! After a will I did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I did my chores and played with my dog. Then I played restaurant with my sister and her friend witch was bit annoying. I was the cook! Then I hung outside for a bit then went to teakwondo and did three classes. And now I am done for the day! GOOD NIGHT 

Today was a great day. Got an early start, as usual, work was productive, went to the gym at lunch, helped out in a class, and had a mentoring session. Came home and had a Korean inspired dinner, with gochugaru seasoned pork chops, and Dylan's famous gochugaru pickles. Finished off the evening with a long bike ride. Heading to bed and I won't be getting up and eating ice cream in the middle of the night, in case you were wondering.

Nothing too interesting happened today, I just did a couple more bike rides and I also made a beef brisket

Tomorrow, will be a day of shame... "school starts..."  as you guys know. this will put even more weight on your back then what you have. so continue on with your requirements.

I hope everyone had a magnificent Monday and is excited for a terrific Tuesday!!! Today I woke up and got ready for school. Me and my brother getting ready my mom took us to the bus and from there we headed to school. I got there. I sat in the hallway until it was time to go to my first class. First class was Spanish then it was Art. After school, my mom pick me up and we rushed to get my Allergy shots. When I got back, I ate dinner and then headed to the 6 o’clock Ta Kwon Do class. When I got home I got ready for bed. I hope it was a marvelous Monday for all Good Night!!! P.S. Today is National Middle Child Day!!! ~Magnolia~

Today was pretty busy, I woke up at like 6:00 am and got ready for school. After that I actually did the action of going to school, it was fun, I got some of my service hours that I need to graduate from high school. Despues de Banda, yo voy a mi clases, y completo mi tarea. When school ended, me and Jack went to the Rec-center and did our exercises and we ran two miles, I did 22 pull ups so I'm proud of myself. After that we went home for 30 minutes, ate pizza and went back to TKD. I didn't help with class, but I did get to do poomsaes with other black belts. When I got home, I ate dinner and did my Korean study session and now I'm journaling. Me Jack and my dad are going to watch Stranger Things now, bye!

Hello everyone, today I woke up and went to school, I had a good time at school and saw my friends and did my classes. After school I went straight to the gym and did my exercises. Then we went home and I ate a slice of pizza then went to TKD and I was able to help with one class. I also got punches and kicks and talked about batman with Asa. But the best part was when it was class, Me and Instructor Caleb and Instructor Shrei played a gameshow called Slap That Star and that was fun, first to 5 points wins and gets a monkey sticker. I had a good time and I am sad it is over bye.

Today I went to camp and did class then at eleven I left for my doctors appointment and stayed home doing requirements.

So I went to school today. Came home, and managed to get in my requirements.  I'm off to hopefully assist in a class this evening.  I was going to try out Muay Thai.....but I think I'm going to focus on my cycle. I don't need to add anything else to my plate. 

The detoxification set me back a notch. I am definitely not in sage mode right now. Missed Sunday morning and evening. Need to catch up.

Good morning, Team USA tied for first with China so, yay and today is the last day of summer, I'm 'bout to have to listen to Last Night by Wallen to be prepared. Please let there be something to delay Tuesday, August 12, 2024. Have a good day

Because it is the last weekend before school I took Samuel to Carowinds as a last hurrah to summer.  Mark hasn't been feeling great and the other two kids didn't want to go, so it was just me and Samuel.  He has way too much fun and ended up riding a wooden roller coaster twice ina row.  Once we came home and the adrenaline wore off, he was complaining of his sides hurting. Where he was complaining he was hurting there seems to be muscle and not much else, so I'm thinking he just overdid things. I did end up doing some requirements while I was waiting for him to ride the coasters.  I'd catch people looking but trying to to look at me doing stuff.  One lady wasn't shy about staring, openly watching me with one eyebrow raised.  You gotta fit it in where you can fit it in ...

Last night shift left me very tired. So today I woke up later than I usually do and I’m kind of taking it easier. I wrapped up a series we started watching the Batman series.Will probably finish the series tonight, and then I’ll go work out double time.

Woke up feeling OK-ish this morning but it just got worse as the day went on.  I don't appear to be running an actual fever - at least, nothing significantly above normal temperature.  Spent most of the day sitting around but was able to get my requirements done even if it took longer than normal and I keep having to stop to blow my nose. Gabe and Samuel went to Carowinds while I was home.  I wish I could have gone just to get out and do stuff but I didn't feel up to it.  It did give me time to rest up and work on my requirements.  I felt far sweatier than normal by the end, however.  After dinner we worked on self-defenses for a bit while Samuel was getting ready for bed.  I managed to get a mile in by walking laps around the inside of the house.  I...

Today, I was setting up my schedule, and organizing my clothes. Getting rest now because I have to wake up early for my campus class tomorrow. Goodnight

So yesterday I woke up went to sparring and got credits for everything. Then went home and chilled and then went to run. Then we went home and watched thor. it was a good movie. But today I woke up and went to church. In my youth group we took  personality tests to show how some people might be alike or different. Then went home and cleaned my room. Then we got some new supplies. Well not supplies but a new bag and my instrument. Then went home and chilled before my run. I ran 2 miles tonight. Then I had pot roast for dinner and it was good. Tomorrow is the last day of summer vacation. Goodnight.

Didn't get anything much done today for I was gone mostly for my Youth meetings and other activities. School starts on Aug 19th for me so I'm hoping for the best this up coming semester.

Today was a day where we had to clean our room and bathroom. It took me a little but it was worth it. I made a few changes in my room like adjusting my tv and a lot more.

Early morning again to go to church. After that I had a quick lunch at home before going to a youth group training. When I got home my little cousin was over, so I played with them for a while. Today was supposed to be a rest day, but it was busier than a normal day on the cycle.

Today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I did my chores and played with my dog. Then I did a puzzle with my grandma. Then I Watch the movie and did a board game. Then my grandma left. Then I kind of sat around and finished my requirements for taekwondo. Then I watch a movie with my mom and dad. Then we watch the stars outside! Now I am done for the day.

This weekend was good, had my mom in town. I tried to get her to go running with us but she wasn’t interested. Went to a lake Sunday and swang on a rope swing quite a few times. Not sure if I can count as my pull ups a but boy are my lats sore. This 5 minutes or exercises and an extra mile this week are really getting tough.   

I think the cycle is going ok I went to poomsae compilation we did lots of kicks and stenches then I called my friend then did my exercise and had dinner then finished exercise saw it’s the last day of the Olympics so today is the last day to watch it for a while watched and did nascar picks. Good night.

On Saturday, I went to sparring class and assisted a junior tiger class in the morning. I then finished my requirements after lunch. On Sunday, I finished my requirements after lunch and worked on my Taekwondo application to life essay. Have a good night.

Today I woke up and we went to the store.  I had to get shoes for school and new baseball cleats.  We got home and I thought about cleaning my room but ran out of time because my mom had to go get my brother. He had been at camp all week and they got home earlier than they thought they would.  We went and ate dinner at his favorite place. I am going to finish up my requirements and then go to bed. 

Today I did all my requirements like usual but then I made some gochugaru korean pickles. I also made some pico de gallo. That’s pretty much everything exciting that happened today

I was in a car all day today and got back from Florida. I  was on a boat all week and I am really tired.   I will write more tomorrow about my adventures.   Good night.  

Busy day, as most are these days. Ended up in Salisbury for my early Amazon shift, but was home by 7:30. Got my run in before church, then Dylan and I did our requirements during the course of the day, between going to the lego Brick Fest in Charlotte, and doing an escape room in Davidson. I also got a bunch of work done for my regular job today, so hopefully tomorrow won't be so hectic. 

Today, I had a very chill day. I woke up and just hung out with my brothers for the day. Tonight, I spent doing chores and preparing for my week of a lot of catch up on requirements and school. Goodnight. 

Today I woke up, ate breakfast, went on my run with my mom and did other requirements.  Then I went to poomsae class and we worked on line drills and stretching.  when I got home I ate mac n cheese for lunch.  I had a $20 gift card to the Nintendo Store and I bought Legend of Zelda BOTW Expansion Pass.  I got another main quest and side quests.  I played on that for a little bit.  Then I went outside and played lacrosse.  After dinner we played rummy with my grandparents.  They leave to go home tomorrow. My school starts this week and I am soooooo excited.  Have a great day tomorrow.  

Today was a good day! I went running this morning with my Dad. We went to have a green smoothie after running. I went home and worked on my exercises, pomesae, and self-defense. Later we went to practice some baseball and I learned a lot today. Open house tomorrow at school and my school starts Tuesday. I will keep working hard on my Black Belt Cycle. 

Today was a good day.  I went to the park to practice. Worked on A LOT.  Tomorrow I start my trainings at school, while trying to fo something with my classroom.  Night all 

Today i realized i forget the journals 2 days before yikes. But i just have to remember. Lesson learned. Yesterday i started my nutrition challenge. I can have no juice, yes i'm a kid, no soda, and no chips. I think this'll be a little hard but i got it. I got another leadership credit yesterday plus a black belg class. Okay i'm done now

They felt easier this time push-ups aren’t that hard planks are not that hard anymore .then we did our mile it was fun because it started raining and that’s end my day. See you guys later peace.💪🏼

Today was pretty easy push-ups were way quicker somehow set ups just felt like two minutes and Burpee‘s are Burpee‘s. The mile run was fun this time because it started raining everyone likes to run one it’s raining.So that was my day and it was really fun see you next journal.

Good afternoon everyone, today I had to watch my churches live sermon today because my mom had covid and did not want to get people sick, still the sermon was good, got to see my friend get baptized. I found out that Deadpool & Wolverine made one billion dollars today. Hope everyone has a good rest of the day. 

Today I woke up and we got donuts then we went to church after that we home and I played my iPad for a bit then I did my requirements.

Yesterday, I was not sure how I would feel this morning, but I feel pretty good.....getting more hours of sleep than usual. I was slow moving getting my requirements done this morning through the afternoon, but that was expected. Also, I feel well enough to work tonight. Enjoy your Sunday!!

Good Afternoon King Tiger Family, I hope everyone is having a great Sunday. Early in the day but wanted to just say how grateful and thankful I am for our TKD family and friends. It is a pleasure to be part of this organization. It is an honor to train and instruct next to all of you. I truly appreciate you all. Enjoy the day and make sure you rest up for the remainder of the week. Take care.

Today I went to Church and I was able to pass out the sacrament. It's a way for us to give thanks to God and to also rid ourselves of sins every week. After that, I went over to some church friends house, and me and my dad talked to them about God. It was a good time and I feel like I talked with them well. When I got home, Jack had made some Mac n' Cheese, and now he and Ronin watched Ratatouille, and we are going over to my Grandmothers house to watch Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes so that'll be fun to do. I'm not sure what to think of the movie yet, but I hope it's good. Anyway, have a good rest of your day, bye!

Hello everyone, today I woke up  and got dressed for church immediately and ate breakfast. Nothing much happened but I did pass the sacrament and go to class. But after church we went home and I will make some macaroni and cheese. I am going back to school tomorrow, I started on Friday and I am going to have a full week. I think that I will watch a movie.

I know its just excuses but do to my work schedule and my lower back issues i'm definitely behind on running. I basically can't run/jog everyday because my back just takes a repeated pounding from the impacts of running. I'm scarred I'll re herniate one of the discs in my lumbar spine which i had surgery to fix last March (2023). Normal class activities don't really bother me but the jogging does. I also am not strong enough to lift 245lbs to do a pull up no matter how hard i try. If i were 180lbs then i probably could do it. I dunno i don't want to let Masters Foster and Knight down. Hopefully once school starts I can force myself to jog 2-3 miles a day after my son goes to school and before i go to bed. I mean I'm at 15min a mile basically so 45min shouldn't be...

Since I work 3rd shift i had not slept since waking up friday afternoon to go to Black Belt class and sparring. Despite this is went to sparring this morning at 9am a couple hours after work and it was a great workout but without sleep to heal the body from the previous day i was very very sore trying to sleep today. 

Today started with 8:15 black belt class, we drilled some color belt self defense and hapkido. After i got home from that I took a nap until about 2pm. When I got up I finished my running, and other requirements and finished 1 of my essays. I did my German before bed.

today I went to bbc in the morning, then I got home, watched my little siblings then I went to my friends house. We played basketball, and played video games there. Then I got home did my stuff and now I'm going to bed

Got lots of work done today starting with waking up for morning Black belt class, then going to practice for my Youth Band, to getting a haircut and other minor things. I plan on taking Sunday off to rest as I probably wouldn't even be home for most of the day.

Started the day with the regular black belt class, we worked lots of self defense. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it to the knife seminar today. 

I wound up skipping Black Belt class this morning because I was feeling less than 100%.  I assumed it was allergies as I'm a couple of days behind on some medication.  I wound up just taking it easy this morning instead.  As the day has gone on, however, it hasn't resolved.  I did make it to the PMAA knife seminar and felt fine during that but it's kinda been up and down all day since. I'm trying to keep my Cycle requirements varied, not just by changing up the style of pushups but also by focusing on different things like my stances in color belt curriculum or improving my basic kicks instead of only drilling down the 2nd Dan skills.  It's too easy to assume I'm ok with older stuff but I noticed the other day in class that my stances aren't always as correct as they should be - and...

For those of you who don't know, Mark and I have a small garden we tend every year.  The poor garden seems to suffer every black belt summer, and this year is no exception.  Anyone want a job helping pull weeds? Despite neglect, the garden seems to be determined to pump out a bunch of cucumbers.  We have already gotten a harvest of garlic.  I have the shallots in the fridge but-surprise! No time to prep them for the freezer to join their already prepped shallow friends.  The tomatoes are still producing some, but the rain has made them explode like seed filled water balloons.  I also found more decorative pumpkins growing than I originally thought I had growing.  The yard is looking like a jungle, so I tried to get some.of.it cut before PMAA training.  As I was pushing the mower, I happened to look over at the garden and...

Today I woke up and headed to Black Belt Class, which was very intense. I then came home after a mentee session and assisting with family class. I took a quick nap and then went to a PMMA Knife seminar, which was great. I get more interested everyday with starting PMMA or a similar martial art. I then went to the mall and did some shopping. I finished my day with my first time streaming on Twitch and then stretching a little. 

I attended black belt class this morning and stayed for the Junior Tigers class. I went home, ate a little bit, took a nap and returned for the PMA knife seminar. Fast forward to now…I wanted to go to the park tomorrow morning to practice, but I spiked a fever this evening. I don’t think I will make it. Hopefully, whatever I have  resolves itself soon….don't want to miss any days during the BBC.

Today, I went to work in the morning which was fun, and got to help out. After that me and my brother went to get some food and then went home. After that we were getting ready to have some friends that we haven't seen in a while come over and we had a little party and had a lot of fun. Then we spent some time cleaning and now me and my family are watching a movie and just chilling for the rest of the night.

Hey everyone, Today, Then headed to saturday black belt class. We worked through hapkido, poomsaes and self defenses. After class, I went home and did more requirements since I was free today. Later on, I did some reading and had time to myself. 

Today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I spent some time with my grandma before taekwondo. Then I went to bbc then went home and got ready for a water park! After the water park I went out to dinner! Then i went up to the park and hung out with my friend. Now I am done for the day.  

I woke up and went to black belt class then called my friend did my exercise then did some Yt videos then ate dinner finished exercise watched some Olympics. Good night.

Training day. Went in for normal classes in the morning and later for the knife seminar at KT North Charlotte. Snuck in a few Taeguks, stick forms, and self defense practice in between classes.

Struggled to get half my requirements done today. I did not get enough sleep the previous night, so I had to get plenty through the day. 

Today I went to black belt class and then I went home I did some of my requirements at home then I played on my iPad for a bit then had a lesson with my neighbor I was teaching him a little bit about football after that I went on the treadmill to run. Lastly I went back and played on my iPad for a bit then I went to Abbot’s for ice cream then I went to my neighbors to swim.

Today was a busy day first I woke up to go to taekwondo. And stayed there till 12:15 then came home and relaxed Keleigh went to sofia’s. Then I went to do my run. This run was different as Rockin the Burg was going on. There was a band that was playing music. Then I came home to have dinner. Things to work on: find new recipes, history essay and get organized to study for written test.

I woke up and went to Black Belt class and we worked on poomsaes and self defense.  Then we drove an hour to watch my sisters soccer game and it was sooooo hot and boring.  Have a great night.

Today was a busy day.  I woke up super early today.  Something woke me up at 6.  I went to Black belt class.

Hi King Tiger Family, I hope everyone had a great Saturday. Started today with a great BB class. Got to work! Then took a little break and then went to the PMAA knife class. I will say that was one of the best classes I have taken. I learned a ton and even better I got to do it with Nate. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to tomorrow! Have a great night and rest of your weekend. Take care. 

Today was exciting because it was my dad’s birthday and I’m finally getting to go to school after all these years. Aside from that, nothing exciting happened. I successfully got done all requirements for the day without any missed exercises

Made it to week 5, that extra minute of requirements feels like 10 extra minutes. Got home from my Amazon shift at 6:20am, so I was able to fit in my run this am. Had a great black belt class and mentoring session afterwards where we worked on staff form. Went to the pool for awhile and Dylan and I just finished requirements and a bike ride. 

🇸🇮So today I got up and did some exercises and then went for a run with our dog which was actually longer and faster than usual thus the title and then later I practice  some poomsaes and no I'm journaling so that's about it.................... bye!!!!!!🇸🇮

Hello today was Black Belt class and it was more fun then usual. Once we got home we did some stuff I read my book and then I played Hitman 3, World of Assassination. It was fun but I am stuck on this one mission but I now know how to do it . I hope everyone is having a good cycle.

Today I woke up and went to my sparing class this morning and I did really good. Then I helped out in the jr tiger class. Then I went back home and worked on my essays and my exercises. Last I went to d bat and worked on some hitting overall today was a great day and I can’t wait for tomorrow.

Hey guys,  Today, I woke up early to go for a run and do plank. Then I headed to black belt class where we worked on kicks, poomsae, self-defense, and some hapkido’s. After class, I had a mentor session with Instructor Nate and we worked on 2nd Dan 1-step self-defense and 2nd Dan specials. I got a class assistance credit as well before I went home. I went for a walk and now I’m babysitting my brothers. We also got haircuts today. Tonight I plan on doing more requirements and watching a movie. Goodnight.  

Today I got up and went to my blackbelt class.  We worked on kicks, some poomsaes, and self defense white to yellow (low and high) and hapkito 1, 2, and 3.  I came home and did my stuff,  had a quick bite to eat, and went back to the dojang for a knife seminar.   Came home, showered, and now relaxing.  

Good afternoon, I had my no tech for 24 hours yesterday so I had no journals, and it was painful, I wish I did it today because i have taekwondo for the first haft of the day. It was still good because i was able to get stuff done then. Taekwondo at the Olympics starts today so I hope the US win because right now its south Korea. Have a good rest of your day.

Today I woke up and then I remembered it was the weekend but I had to go to Black Belt class .after  the class we went home and clean .then we did our leftover requirements because when we cleaned I did requirements .then we played in the front yard for a little until my mom got home .then we went to catch Em collectibles to get my dad a belated birthday present .because we forgot to get on his birthday .so then he opened them and he had a such a great time he said thank you. that’s all for today peace. ✌️ 

Today I woke up and had to quickly get ready for black belt I like this black belt class it was fun. When we got home me and Elise did some requirements upstairs push-ups situps squats rush and planks I had to do jump rope and pull-ups because I couldn’t do that upstairs. Then we went to a store and got dad birthday presents because we couldn’t do it on his birthday.  see you guys tomorrow bye!

so this is actually part 2 of my journal because I actually forgot to do part two yesterday but anyway I did some requirements and then helped out with a little tigers class and then did the rules and falls class and then did the black belt class and then we usually have a movie night every Friday night and we always get Domino's but apparently they were very jam-packed so they couldn't get it to us so we had to wait until like 9:00 to get it but we watched WALL-E and that's about it

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice but long day. I went to TKD, helped out with summer camp and Little Tigers, and then took both rolls and falls and Black Belt class(es). Today, I woke up and found myself on the ground. I got ready for class in the morning and honestly felt really sore. Class was nice today since we focused a lot on kicks, poomsaes, and self-defense. I came back home, took a shower, and started finishing my requirements. We might go out to the temple later in the afternoon today. Have a wonderful day!

Today will be pretty chill. Me and Jack went to Black Belt Class today and it was actually kinda fun. After that we got our requirements done and now I'm journaling. I forgot to journal yesterday so I'll say that we went to school and most of my teachers seemed to be pretty easy-going which is a good thing, we watched Godzilla Minus One which is the best Godzilla movie in my opinion. It's the Japanese Godzilla so he just destroys everything and  it's way cooler that the American Godzilla. Anyway, I don't have much else I'm going to do today other that that, I'm going to play videogames, but that will be a little while. See you guys on Monday!

Today was a bit more errands and boring house work for me today. I went to the mall about 1 pm, and didn't get home until 6:30. There was supposed to be a protest right across from the North C Location but I guess it ended early. When we got home I did my German and unpacked groceries before finishing up my physical requirements.

Having to double up on Fridays to get both a weekend black belt class and a sparring class. Master Knight was kind enough though to have the BBC be mostly requirements in content. Very tired and sore. 

School was delayed today, I got 2 extra hours of sleep. It felt like the school day just dragged on forever even though it was shortened. When I got home, I ate some late lunch and rested before starting some requirements.

So today I woke up, did my requirements, then went to black belt class and got a mentor session in. We worked on stick form 1 and hapkido 1 through 4. In black belt class we did bocho special. It had been awhile since I had done it so I was a little shaky on it. Then I went shopping with my mom and then went home. I had general tso chicken for dinner. It was good. Then I finished one of my essays which is good. Pretty normal friday but goodnight.

Today, I finished my requirements after lunch. Then, I went to my Saturday blackbelt class. After that class, I did my sparring class. After the classes, I went home and ate dinner. Then, I ran outside for 2 miles. Have a good night.

I woke up late then ran 1 1/2 miles went to camp but left early so I could go see my new school then I did my exercise ate dinner went to black belt class finished my exercise played guitar and then watched some Olympics. Good night.

Apparently the front desk staff decided to go home at 3:30 because there was supposed to be a protest outside our building from 4-7.  The last time they were there I couldn't get out of the parking lot for a while and then police had to break them up enough for those of us stuck to go home.  I left the office to go to Samuel's open house, where he said he saw the Clowers! I came back to the office and parked in the parking lot next to the parking lot for our building, walked through the bushes back to my office, and went back to work.  After work I went downstairs to leave, expecting the sound of yelling and bullhorns, only to hear the sound of traffic like normal.  No chants, no crowds, no protesters.  It was a hot walk back through the bushes back to the car through...

This has been a terrible week for getting Cycle stuff done.  It's also been a terrible week for getting work stuff done.  Everyone's been putting out fires at work with server issues and whatnot so there's been a lot of context switching and blocked work.  It's also been rainy all week which means almost every time I think I'm going to get some mileage in, it's raining too hard to go outside over lunch.  I think we need to get a treadmill because I don't want to have to do a full week's mileage in a single outing to the gym. On the other hand, we went to Bradford's Open House today and learned about the new app/system they're using for parent communication.  I think they went a bit long in the presentation given that they linked us to the powerpoint but at least the presenter didn't just read every slide...

Today I woke up and it was the last time my sitter would be here for the summer.  I did my workout at Champions.  I had pizza for lumch.  Then I had my first lacrosse face off lesson with Quinn.  It was really fun.  We worked on pops.  When I got back home it was time for taekwondo class.  I did a mentee session and helped with line drills.  When I got home, my grandma and grandpa had arrived from Ohio.  We had barbeque for dinner and played games.  Now I'm really tired and it's time for bed.  Goodnight. 

Today I went to black belt class. We worked on kicking defense 1 and 2. Then I came home and watched a movie.

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a rainy day. I was hoping to head to TKD yesterday for sparring class, but wasn’t able to due to the rain. I know that I am behind on those so I definitely have to start back up on those. Today, I headed to TKD in the morning and helped out with summer camp. I was with Group 1 today and it was a nice, fun day overall. Group 1 always tends to have a lot of energy, making it fun to always energize them with something. After camp, I helped out with Little Tigers and headed straight into rolls and falls class, as well as Black Belt Class. Have a wonderful day!

Today is another day of favorite breakfast dinner. So yesterday my mom made one of my he most delicious breakfast meals I have ever had it is like bacon rapped around an egg it may sound disgusting but it’s so good.
