Candidate Journals

I know it may seem silly to everyone else, but for some reason it really bothers me when the grass gets tall.  Not like a quarter inch too long tall, I'm not worried about that.  Weirdly enough, I just really dislike the idea of walking out in the yard in the morning to check the garden areas and having the grass so long it wets my shoes and socks with dew or rain, then you get wet feet.  I also realized while mowing that one of the rose bushes I bought and thought was a hybrid tea is a climbing vine, so I need to get it supported somehow.  Working backwards in the day, I made fried chicken sandwiches for dinner.  Because of all my food allergies/sensitivities I don't eat out much, and it's gotten a bit more restrictive due to the food challenge Mark took on so we don't lot...

We got up this morning and, despite being sore and tired, got ready to head out for Black Belt class.  On the way dropping our eldest off at work, we got stuck watching a massive truck convoy heading to the small track across 29 from Charlotte Motor Speedway.  By time we finally got down to class, warmups had already started.  Even so, we still got a good workout in and alternated between kicks and BoCho Dan One-Step.  Once class let out, we had a mentoring session and worked on our Hapkidos under the watchful eye of Master Cavazos.  After that, we practiced rolling and falling while we waited for Gabe's mentee to finish up with helping Junior Tigers.  By time they had finished up, we realized we were the last ones left in the dojang and weren't certain if we should leave - and then the first of the Muay Thai...

Hello everyone, today I had a bit of a small sleep, at least I think I had a small sleep because when it is not Black Belt Cycle I sleep in on Saturdays. I went to class and got it checked off and I had fun, I helped with sweeping off the mat. Then I went home and did my exercises and my walk, then after waiting forever, I was finally able to play and beat this level on Hitman. I eventually beat the first game and it was super cool, I think that agent 47 is really cool. Then I went grocery shopping with my dad and my brother, we went to Aldi's and Food Lion and then went home. Then me and my brother and my dad got popcorn and watched Stranger Things, and now I am here. I hope everyone had a good day.

today i went to bbc in the morning and got there late because of a blocked road. then i got home made breakfast and watched my siblings. after that i went to my friends house to play video games like fortnite and call of duty. then i got home and had chinese food for dinner. then went to my friends house to play basketballl, and now im going to gop sleep.

today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I went to taekwondo. Then did my chores and played with my dog. Then I  went to the pool now I am done for the day! GOOD NIGHT!!

This morning I went to Saturday black belt class for different paddle kicks and Bocho self-defense. I feel like I'm nailing my rolls and fall portion for #4 of the self-defense. When I got back, I did more requirements, read my book, did chores around the house and played games.

I woke up and went to black belt class we did lots of kicks and self defense then I did some piano then went to do a Audi R8 review did my exercise ate dinner then finished exercise then did some editing. Good night 😴.

Hi King Tiger family. It was a good Saturday. We have black belt class this morning. Another great class working on our kicks and self defense. Then we went to airport to greet our new foreign. Exchange student whom will be with us for a year. She is Laia and from Barcelona, Spain. She will be at Hopewell High with Nate. We are so very excited for her. Then we did a bunch of requirements. In pretty good shape. Nate and I also went for run. Let’s be clear… we started at same time… I did not stick with him for too long. Great day today. Ready got some rest. Take care. 

While at TWD today I did my requirements for today and the ones I missed yesterday because I attended a birthday party. Just the little I had to make up I can see why they stress “Do Not Get Behind.” I also changed the time I ran today so I could have a sleepover with my friend. It was mid-day. I was hot and sweaty. It was a rushed day, but I am excited to hang out with my friend.

Today I woke up to go to work at King Tiger Harrisburg with just Master knight because my dad and brother are in Colorado for a vacation. It was a very good day for classes, everyone did well and we all had a blast. After that I went out to eat with one of my friends, we went to Silver Lake Ramen. It was amazing food. After I went home did the rest of my requirements and just chilled for the rest of the day.

Today I went to black belt class and then helped with the other classes then I did most of my requirements there leaving me very tired and sweaty then I went home and did the rest of them.

I hope everyone had a super Saturday and is excited for a special Sunday. This morning I got up and go ready to go to the 8:15 Saturday black belt class. Afterwards, I came home and cleaned my room and did some homework. When I finished I played with my friends. Later today I ate dinner and the rollerbladed outside. I hope it was a super Saturday for all. Goodnight.  P.S. Today is National Thrift store day ~Magnolia~

Today I woke up ate breakfast and then went to black belt then I came home and then lWent to my friend Arden‘s house after that I dropped off Caleb to his demo team practice we got to go inside the building and it was so cool then when we went to pick them up we are little early so we’ve got to watch and stuff after that we came home that’s 

I wnet to the black belt class, and helped out in the next class. Got my requirements done in batches today, between going to the farmer's market, going sparkling water shopping- we were getting dangerously low, starting a ferment of peach reapers, apocalypse peppers and bulgarian carrot peppers. Also put a bunch of cucumbers in vinegar, and roasted beets. Trying not to waste any vegetables from the garden this year. They grow faster than we can eat them. I've probably already said this, but I'm really lucky to have my son, Dylan doing this cycle with me. He's wonderful to practice with, and he's very motivating when I sometimes feel like being lazy.

Hi guys today I woke up and I already know it was gonna be a good day! I woke up and I had to get ready and eat breakfast for black belt  class after Blackbelt class we went home and we got ready to drop Elise off at her friends house for a play date. Then we had to pick up Caleb after we dropped Elise off and then we had to go get a Elise ! Then we had to get our shoes back on and drop Caleb off at demo practice then when It almost done practice we went there to pick him up. That was my day see you later Peace out from your boy Ethan!👦🏽🧒🏽

Today i went to the pool. (yaaaaaaay) I did my poomsae, self defense, and kicks then went home and took a shower. I played video games for a little bit and then i did my requirments. Now i'm here doing this journal. I learned how to boxers skip jump rope but i need to practice. i'm getting my written test done today too. or majority of it. Okay i'm done now.

Good evening everyone. Today i woke up very tired not wanting to go to Taekwondo (cause i was tired). But now i'm glad i went. I had quite the bit of fun while getting a ton of requirements and signatures done. So i'm catching up on stuff i was a little but behind on.

Good afternoon, I just got done with all my requirements for the day, I got my first mentee session in (I know I'm behind), started the white belt challenge, finished my class assistance part of the cycle, and did a sparring class. Overall a good day. Even though its getting hard dont give up. Have a good day.

When I woke up my mom put decorations up for my dad's birthday.  I had pancakes for breakfast.  Not long after dad came home from his workout and we suprised him.  We are going to dinner in Charlotte tonight for his birthday and then going to watch a soccer game.  Have a great night. 

Got up this morning and went to blackbelt class. We zoomed in with KT of Lake Norman.  We also had some visiting KT students.  Lots of kicking,  and we practiced bochodon self defense.  We also did some poomsaes.  After blackbelt I have my JT class. 4 students came. The l8ttle ones can sometimes be a challenge...LOTS of energy!  I came home and rested for a bit. I planned on starting my essays, little hard yo do when your laptop is at school. So I will hand write my ideas and thoughts, then type the essays Tuesday.  🙃 

So today me and Jack are going to Black Belt Class today, but after I have work and when I get home from work, I need to help my mom with redoing our laundry room. We want to put the tile in today but I don't really want to help but I will anyway because my mom does so much for me I have to return the favor. Then I get to run and walk o what ever and once I'm done with that I need to go grocery shopping with my parents and once I get back from that I have four hours to play videogames and then we are going to watch a movie or something, maybe an episode of Stranger Things I am almost done with the second season and I know I'm late to watching the show but it's really good. Anyway see you guys in class,...

Sparring day today and lots of fun. Ran 2 miles for the weekly range.

I feel really good about my kicks, I think my balance and height are really good. But I can work on my speed, and I can also work on putting my foot behind me because I haven’t been practicing that much.

Today was a great day to get some credits done, because there was only 1 very short class today. After class I did some more work on my forms and kicks before taking a nap and doing my german.

Walked all morning on campus for an assignment today and had an overall sleepy day. Going to get some good sleep over this weekend hopefully as I catch up on my requirements. 

This Friday I did some requirements before heading to taekwondo in the afternoon. In black belt class we did our specials for our belt, and when we finished for the day I went home to do more of the requirements I didn't get to finish on. Gonna get rest for class in the morning. Goodnight.

This has been a weird day.  I got most of my physical requirements done before 5pm but I've been really winded all day.  My asthma's really been acting up or something. Tonight was the first Friday night sparring class.  I really like knowing I don't have to go to class on Fridays or Sundays but this is just for the Cycle - assuming we don't keep going afterwards.  It was a good class, though, and being done relatively early is nice as opposed to getting home as late as we would on Thursdays.  Unfortunately, there was a massive amount of traffic on 49 just outside Harrisburg so we detoured home. Gabe made an amazing dinner and then we worked on Self Defenses and Poomsaes.  But for now, it's time for bed because 8:15 comes far too fast on Saturday mornings.

Woke up feeling extra tired today, I had an overall okay day. I felt so listless the entire day, school dragged on for what felt like 12 hours. I'm not accustomed to sparring class being on Friday now, that probably just added to the dragging. 

Hello, today I went to school and did all my work and stuff. Then once I got home I did my exercises, but I didn't have to do my run because I already did it. Then I went to black belt class and got that checked off. I also got a mentor session with Master Natasyas. Then I went home and ate some dinner. I also watched TV and now I am here. I hope everyone is doing well and having a good time.

Only jogged 1 mile this morning as my ankle was bothering me and i knew i had to do two classes back to back this evening. Good classes from master Knight, Black Belt and Sparring. 

Today I woke up and went for a easy run. I zoned out for most the run, which was fairly enjoyable. I then came home and did a few things I needed to do. I then went and got my allergy shots. I followed that up by doing some school work, then requirements, and finished my day by going to black belt class. 

Due to the schedule change at the school, sparring is now in Friday.  Mark commented that we are now at the school six days a week with one class or another.  At least my book is getting inked up, so that's a good thing.  I'm going to try and get the site updated tomorrow with everything I've written down in the book.  With one thing or another I just haven't found the time to get it all transferred from the book to the site.  I also need a cook and a maid so I have time to work on requirements and guitar.  Practice has taken a back seat unfortunately, so I haven't had time to do my music homework in like two weeks.  I still have poomsaes to work on with Mark tonight.  I've gotten like 7-10 seconds in my creative form done, but truth be told I'm not real happy...

Today, I woke up, did my requirements, and went to school. After school, I attended my black belt class. I decided not to go to sparring today, as I was a little ahead on my sparring credits. I then ran for 2 miles and ate dinner. Have a good night.

Tonight I attended a friends birthday. I got to see all my classmates from elementary school. I am doing my requirements late tonight. I plan on doubling up the requirements I was not able to get done. I am ahead on my miles, so I will run 2 miles tomorrow for what I was not able to run today. 

I had a good week being back in school. After school I went to Taekwondo for black belt and sparing class. We had a good class today and I worked hard. I went running with my Dad after class and did some exercises. I’m tired now and need some sleep. 

Today I woke up and got my requirements for taekwondo. Then I went to my friends house and hung out there for a while. Then got home did my chores then went on a scooter ride with my sister. Then went to teakwondo. Then my friend called my and I talked to her for a while then watch a movie. Now I am done for the day. GOOD NIGHT!!!!  

Hi King Tiger Family. It was a good day today. Long but good. Work went pretty well. Got a few key items done. More to come! Got a chance to got to TKD before BB class and got a bunch of requirements done. BB class was good and then did a mentor session with Master Marcus. All in, good day. Got home and had a good dinner. Now ready to end this good day. Take care. 

today I got up early for school, I went to school but today was a little bit different for me, because we had a school opening year event. It's just the 7th-12th graders that could go and we did like a field day type thing. We played a bunch of games like volleyball and pickleball, cornhole and more fun things. We even swam in the lake there. Then after that I went out to eat with my mom for dinner at Grounds and Vines, which is always great food, and now I'm just chillin for the rest of the night at my house.

Today I went to black belt class. we worked on red and high red self defense. after class I had a mentor session with master Natasya. For dinner I had chick fil a. I got a cookies and cream milk shake. 

It’s Friday I woke up early but ended up falling back asleep. I sleep for another hour.  Nothing too fun and exciting today.   So I am going to keep it short.  I went to black belt class did some requirements and had a sandwich from jimmy johns.  I know I will have more to write tomorrow because I have a lot more planned.  

Today I woke up early to go running and have breakfest. I went to school and played basketball, took an English quiz, and finished up homework. I went home for a night of babysitting. Goodnight. 

I woke up and went to school then I got back are some ice cream then did my exercise I got ahead on pull ups then went to black belt class had dinner finished my exercise then had a snack. Good night.

Today I woke up later since I didn’t have to work.   Worked on some requirements and went to black belt class.  

I hope everyone had a fantastic Friday and is excited for a super Saturday. Today I went to school and in ELA we made a book trailer for a book we read over the summer. When my mom picked me up from the bus stop we went directly to get our allergy shots. After that we went to Barnes and Noble and got a few books. After I headed over the tae kwon do and took the 5:15 rolls and falls and the 5:30 black belt class. Then I came home and ate dinner. I hope it was a fantastic Friday for all. Good night. P.S. Today is National tell a joke day and National rollercoaster day ~Magnolia~

Today i woke up late because my alarm didn't work and got ready for my 4th day of school. After scholl i went to afterschool and did my requiroments. I got a mentor session in and a sparring credit. Day 6 of my nutrition challenge i think and its gone well. I haven't messed up... yet. Okay i'm done now.

Good night everyone, I know this is later than I usually do it, and to be honest, I just forgot and didnt want to get behind. School week is FINALLY over, over all a pretty good week( I may have gotten a gf already😏). When I got home I cleaned up, listen to some Shaboozey to before my class(its my get focused and prepare to be sore for four hours). Even with the workouts at there max, I still did fine. Hope everyone has a good day.

Today was pretty easy too, I went to school finished my homework and we didn't go to the gym but finished our exercises at home. After that, we went to Black belt class and did a mentor session. Then I got home and ate cheese burgers for dinner. We are watching a movie tonight so bye!

It's the end of the 5th week. My mentee was not at king tiger when I arrived,  which means I need a new mentee. I'll message Master Evins this weekend.   I had sparring tonight...I actually had fun. Granted, I'd rather be able to relax a little on a Friday night, but it's ok.   Off to shower and bed

When I woke up this morning, I felt pretty good overall. Later on, I noticed pain in my right pectoral muscle and I tried to stretch it out which did not help....probably made it worse. I think it must be the burpees I did in Muay Thai last night (the last straw) on top of my other requirements. When I sneezed, I realized it was worse than I thought....intense shooting pain through the right chest muscles. It took my breath away. I will not be doing any pushups or burpees today. You do not know what muscles you use until it is time....I needed help opening the ibuprofen bottle! I still feel a twinge, but I am much better. I gotta to work tonight and black belt class in the morning. Have a good one! 

Made it through a tough week. Work has been busy, and requirements are getting more challenging, but I'm manageing to stay close to caught up. Planning on a mentoring session tonite, folowed by rolls and falls, and then black belt class. 

Thursday- Got up and did the standard 2 miles with Abigial and the dog. We really are getting that down and decreasing our time. It was a fairly stressful day at work, which hopefully means Friday will be better and more calm. I got through about half of my requirments before work and the other half at lunch, work from home days really make this much more achievable! Tonight was sparring, which I enjoy but I am always amazed how much energy those short rounds take up. Friday I should be on schedule with everything, got to get 3 miles in and try to catch up on some planks and pull ups. I know we are almost halfway- it's feeling more achievable!  

Climbing! Ran 3 miles in 25minutes today. Practiced my staff forms, advanced double stick forms and Taekwon 4.

After class assistance, I took my first Muay Thai class. There are some differences compared with TKD such as stances, kicks and hand placement for face protection. I found it particularly interesting that my stance as a left-handed person has to be different from a person that is right-handed. We practiced elbow strikes, knee strikes and a 360 kick (I hope that is the right name). I am sure I will have some sore areas tomorrow. Overall, I enjoyed it. Have a good night!

Today wasn't as busy with work so I got all my physical requirements done before I was done with work.  Then it was down to the dojang to help with class.  I led warmups and, I think for the first time ever, managed to get through the entire set without anything being out of order.  It's only taken me three years to finally memorize it.  It's funny how I can tell you if someone leading class changes up the order but I couldn't just rattle off what the order is supposed to be - especially under the pressure of 30 pairs of eyes. After helping with class, we jumped into the Muay Thai class and learned that some skills will carry over, many won't.  It was a lot of learning and watching but it was fun.  Except now my arms hurt from throwing elbows at the pads.  We helped clean up...

We went to Muay Tai tonight.  I wasn't sure I was actually going to go because I was negative fifteen points in energy when I got off work but go I did.  It was a good class, but I realized that a) I don't know how to count in that class and b) I have to relearn all my stances and kicks.  I didn't get to meet everyone in class tonight but I'm sure eventually I'll know everyone's name.  The guys coming from Black Belt USA seem to be a decent crew and I'm looking forward to meeting more friends in the group.  In a different note: The screw in the tire has also been removed and patched for those keeping track 

This morning, I got up to go to campus for my next class which is on Thursday. Felt like time was going a little slower while there, We were walking and standing a lot doing tutorial tasks during the time we had. When I came home I had a hard time trying to do other things more than before. Later went to taekwondo in which I did class assistance, and sparring. It's going to be hard getting through school and taekwondo going forward, unlike the summer, but I'm sure I can make it through it on the long run. This day was more of the same like monday since my same teacher was going through the basics.

Did another 2 miles this morning before bed. Probably take it easy tomorrow and just walk more. The pounding on my back, i just need to take it easy for a day to heal. Was able to get in 2 sessions with 2 mentees today then a great old school class with Master Knight. 

School was the same as ever today, nothing remarkable. I didn't go into the dojang today because the class times changed so I just stayed home, got my stuff done, and rested. I ended the day with some homework I forgot to do and caught up with tracking.

Today was another very long day. I woke up, went to practice and got to cheer on a few teammates doing a time trial they missed yesterday. I then came home and did a few small To-Dos before listening to my first college lecture. I then went to work and followed that up with a pretty good sparring class. I then came home, got ready for bed, and now I am here. 

Hi King Tiger Family. I got to instruct with a family class today. It was good. We worked on color belt Poomsaes. I always find instructing helps me refine my own Poomsaes. When you have to teach it, you have to break down each move and explain it in words. It is a great way to refine. I actually do that sometimes when I am just practicing or doing requirements. I just say it aloud as I do it. I found sparring tonight very good. I got to spar Master Marcus. It reminded me how out of shape I am. I used to be much faster and better at sparring. I got work to do!!! Have a great night. Take care. 

Finally got a little more used to what I need to be doing on the cycle this week. Got some leadership and physical credits early this week, and got some mentee and mentor sessions out of the way.

Today, I woke up, got my requirements done, and went to school as usual. After school, I assisted a senior tiger class and got a mentee session in. After the class, I ran one mile, ate dinner, and went to bed. Have a good night.

Today, I woke up to have breakfest and head to school. We had motivational speakers come to school to give speeches on the future and important lessons. I watched a government show in Civics and worked on ELA assignments. I went to work and sparring where I got a sparring credit, class assistance credit, leadership credit, and a mentee session. I got home for a night of dinner, chores, and homework. Goodnight. 

Today I went to school once again then went home and did my requirements then went to sparring.

I feel like I am moving on repeat, something every day. I am not used to getting out of school so late. It is crunch time to get all my requirements in. Cannot image how I will balance when homework starts. I need to work on my 4 page essay some more. Not sure many times you can renew a library book.

Today i went to my third day of school. It was nice and i didn't get lost so that's a plus. Today at P.E. i did my mile. Day 4 of my nutrition challenge, my teacher was talking about chips and that made me sad but it's a challenge for a reason. I learned that I actually have honors ELA which means i'm smart. I got my requirements done at after school and went home and ate. Okay i'm done now.

Today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I went on a run and did my chores. Then I finished writing my essay! Then went to the pool then I read a book then watched a movie! Then I went to teakwondo now I am done for the day.

Today I woke up and I went to school and we made a gilder out of a straw and a piece of paper which was fun. Then after school I went to Taekwondo and I got a mentee, mentor, and an assistant credit. Last I had agility with my baseball team. Last today was a great day and I can’t wait for tomorrow. 

Today I went to Sparring class. I sparred against Bryce and Kasey. When I sparred against Bryce he kicked me in the knee and it hurt a lot. Then I came home and had breakfast for dinner.

Today was pretty easy-going for the most bit. I had school and I had a project I was working on with  a friend but he kept on goofing off with other people and not doing his work. I got all of my homework done at school so that's a positive. After school I went to the gym and ran 1.5 miles and did all my exercises. I think I'm done with my miles for the week. After we got home from the gym, my mom asked me and Jack to bring cabinets upstairs because we are redoing our laundry room. Afterwards, we went to sparring. I sparred twice, Zayne and Peter so that was pretty fun. Now I'm going to eat dinner which is hotdogs which I'm not happy about. Anyway have a nice night, see you tomorrow!

Ugggg.....I may need to switch my mentee. I've attempted several times to meet with my mentee this week, and either she left early or I missed her due to my class time.   We tried to do a session tonight,  and just as we were going to the next few steps in her form, her parent showed up.  I'll try one more time tomorrow evening before sparring. If we can not do a session, I'll need to switch.  Wish me luck. 

Hello, today I did things, and it was a lot of things like school and gym and waking up. After school I went to the gym to get my exercises done, and then went home. Then once I got home I helped my mom get cabinets upstairs and then I am going to get ready for sparring. bye.

Good afternoon, I just got done with my requirements. School went well, a girl asked for my number and I liked her a little so, yay that was good. Have a good day.

Got off work later than I expected, Didn’t even really have lunch. Three patients with a bunch of drain output, two patients at electrolyte problems, two patients and pain, an admission, and only one patient who really needed nothing from me. The honestly, they were all really nice/enjoyable patients. I’ll take them again tonight hopefully the interventions I did last night, and then during the day will make for a better night. So I went to bed later than I usually do, and I woke up later than I usually do. I just woke up, I just ate and I’m bout to go back to work about 6:30pm (it 5pm currently). I was about to tell myself that I can’t do anything for the cycle today, but honestly, I have an hour. So I’m gonna make the best of what I got.

Wednesday- Got up and did 2 miles, it's getting easier, got about half of my requirements done before work. I've added about 20 minutes of stretching after my run, and it's helped my hips not hurt so much, but it does add a lot of time to my morning, I may need to get up earlier.  Abigail and I went to the 5:15 class to help out, I think teaching Poomsaes may be the best thing for me, as it really challenges how well I know each move and stance. recognizing someone elses mistakes are harder than recognizing my own.  We took the 6 and 6:45 classes, and made it home. I need to get into gear on some more of my essays this week.

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. I thought I wrote my journal yesterday, but I guess it didn’t go through. I am currently waiting for my bus outside. The requirements seem to be getting easier day by day. See you guys at sparring later today! Have a wonderful day!

today I'm going to go run, then I'm going to go to my friends house to play games.then I'm going to sparring to class then ima going to go home and play with my sibling.

Well, today was that special day. Training day, but Master Buckhart opened a gate by gifting me a special handmade staff. As if to say for my sojourn, determination, and hard work so far. Thank you Sir! Then Grandmaster Evins gave me a few free training days credit for attending the knife seminar, my colleagues gave me tips about choppa events during grading, and finally Master Kavaso gave me a walkthrough my advanced double staff forms. Phew! How grateful am I!

Today I woke up and went to help out with summer camp. I was group 3 and we went to the park today. We went to Enzo and ate snacks and the went back to king tiger where we played big mat games til the end of the day. I came home did some kicks and running.  Off to bed.  

I woke up because I set an alarm for 8, but I went back to sleep. Not too long into the day I had to go to the dentist.  It took a while to get there. Everything was good and came home. I was hungry so we stopped to eat lunch. I went to king tiger later and stayed for 2 classes.  I came home and went jogging with my bro. That’s it. GN. 

Today was a very long and productive day. I realized this morning I didn't post my journal last night, which sucked because I had the whole thing all written out. Today I woke up, went to practice, and then came home and did some school work. I then did a few requirements before heading to work. I finished my day by going and hanging out with my church bible study group. We ended up jumping in the lake and just hung out for a few hours. Now I am here. 

Second day sucessfully jogging in the morning before bed. I keep getting hobbled by something every time so far either muscle cramps or indigestion or sore feet. I think i'll stretch more bore i take off and see if that helps. After my jog i do jump rope and push ups. Today was black blet class that i was 2 min late. I hit all 3 stop lights on the way to class right as they all turned red each time so i had to sit the whole light 3 times! that wasted nearly 10min. Oh, well sometimes its fun to be at the back of the class. :-) 

Today was an extremely weird day.  I spent most of the workday waiting for other people to pin things down so I could get to my part of the work.  Every step forward felt like two steps back and if I had known how long it was going to be, I'd have gotten far more requirements done during the day.  Instead I spent a lot of time trying to keep up with what wasn't going on and sneaking in requirements when I felt like I did have time. After work was over, it was time to wake up Samuel who was home sick and head out the door for Black Belt class.  We had two more new people from Black Belt USA and spent most of the class on kicks.  I'm probably not supposed to say this but practicing the kicks from the Black Belt forms was actually a lot of...

This morning I was (un) pleasantly surprised to discover that the tire pressure light on my dash was on and my car was driving funny.  So I stopped and put sir in the tire, went to work, and decided to see how things were after.  Sure enough, leaving work and driving across the street to the dojang (yes I work across the street from the dojang) the tire pressure light is on again, staring at me unblinkingly from the void.  So-more air so I can get home, had Mark follow behind just in case, and called AAA while I made dinner.  Samuel got to watch the guy change the tire, remarking "that's so cool!".  I forgot he doesn't see that a lot.  My dad was a mechanic and a machinist before retiring, so I saw him working on cars all the time.  I'm glad Samuel got a cool experience for tonight. ...

My day started with school, where I attended classes and did my work. After school I spent time staring at a bunny before it was taken, and ended my day going to Taekwondo. 

I started my day as usual, woke up, went to school, all that good stuff. I came home ate some food and then I went to PetCo with my brother to get kitten milk for the bunny we found yesterday. My brother took the bunny and now they are taking care of it. I went to the dojang early to help out with class and take black belt class after all of that. In the evening, I had to do schoolwork, which is never fun.

In the morning, I got my hair retwisted since it was growing fast over the summer. It does look a little different, though it is much smaller and denser than how it was previously. As I arrived home, I did my requirements, had sandwiches for dinner and slept because tomorrow I have another morning class to go to and I don't want to be drowsy when I wake up. Goodnight.

Today, I woke up early to finish my requirements before school. Today was my second day, so thankfully there was not much work. After school, I assisted a junior class and attended my black belt class, in which I led the warmups. After class, I got a mentor session in. Then, I ran for 2 miles, ate dinner, and went to bed. Have a good night.

My day was not too much different from other days. However, I felt pretty upbeat instead of fatigued which is great for a change. I did my requirements, met with mentee and attended black belt class. It was nice to see people from Black Belt USA join King Tiger. We went over perfecting particular kicks and extension in Poomsaes Koryo, Pal and Keumgang. It was weird leaving the dojang with daylight😂. Nighty-night!!

Woke up today to go for a run and requirements then headed to school. Played some football and basketball, took a quiz, and did some worksheets. I then had work and got a class assistance credit and a leadership credit. Went home for dinner and chores. Goodnight. 

Today on my run I got so many cramps. Today when I woke up I started some of my requirements and then went to the hub bus to take me to school. Instead of all my classes I only had 2. I think my class schedule is fixed now.

When I woke up it was the first day of school and I was so excited.  My mom made us take pictures and then we went to school.  I had art and recess.  When I came home I went to Taekwondo and did a mentor session.  When I got home my sister and dad were playing basketball, I changed and played with them.  Then I worked on my hockey shots.  It was a great day.  

Today I woke up and I knew that I had a busy day. So first I went to the gym and hit a leg day, then I went home from that and had to mow one of my neighbors yard which was a pretty big mess because it hadn't been mowed in weeks, after that we had to go to my open house to see my teachers and set up my locker. I got to see all of my friends though which was nice. I start school tomorrow and I'm not all that excited. After that me and my dad went to Habaci Pit and got some food there and then went to work. So it was a very fun last summer day.

Today I woke up and ran 2 miles and then did my requirements for teakwondo. Then I did my chores and played with my dog. Then i went to the pool for a while. Then I went to teakwondo and did two classes and I felt really good on my specials today instructor Asa was attacking me. Then I want back home and watch a movie Now I am done for the day. Good night!!!!!!

Everyone a wonderful Wednesday and is excited for a terrific Thursday!!! I got school after I finish getting ready. I was almost late to the bus stop but we barely made it on time. After school, I went and got my allergy shot. Then I came home and did all my homework before I got ready to go to taekwondo. I took the 6 o’clock class and we worked on board breaking. When I got home, me and my friend went over math homework and then I ate dinner. I hope it was a wonderful Wednesday for all good night!!!   P.S. Today is National creamsicle day!!! ~Magnolia~

Today I went to school as usual then after school I went home for a little bit then I went to soccer and went back home to do my requirements goodbye.

Started out with my run, like normal, but left the dogs home so I could run without stopping. Busy work day, I'm actually still working because I'm trying to figure something out, but I've been taking work breaks and doing my requirements. Dylan and I laugh so hard sometimes over silly things when we're practicing together. It makes the time fly by. Time for bed because tomorrow is going to be a crazy busy day. 

Hi guys today I woke up my stomach hurting like it did yesterday. I went to school but it got worse by the time after school I went to taekwondo I helped out and did warm-ups then I came home and did some of my requirements. Then I went to the store after taekwondo and we got spaghetti and spaghetti sauce for tomorrow we had chicken and rice today for dinner and then here I am doing my journal! see y’all tomorrow peace out✌️🧒🏽

My school day went great today. Both of my teachers are really nice. I went to Taekwondo to help out in Jr Tiger class and help my mentee. I worked with my mentor today with stick training. Today was a good day! 

Hello, today I woke up and had my favorite breakfast and it was so good. Then I went to school and did all this stuff, but in ELA we read a story about this really sassy girl who thought she was the best. But it turns out her brother is better when he is disabled. When school ended we went to the gym to do all of our stuff. Then we got home had a quick snack and went to TKD. I got stuff checked off and it was fun, then when we got home I noticed I had not started my book project so I started working on that. Surprisingly I finished it, I hope everyone had a good day today, bye.
