It was a struggle to get out of bed this morning and the weather did not help. It started raining when I was walking back to my building at school, but luckily I had an umbrella so I didn’t show up looking like a drowned rat. After I came home, I went to my piano lesson.

Today I learned about derivative laws in Calculus and reviewed some ancient documents of 1898 in HIST. I took a big nap when I got home today and finished reading a book which left me dissatisfied because of the ending.

Peppermint Patty Day. 02/11/25

I'm so tired so I'll keep this short. I did requirements and helped with class. I was pretty bummed out today because of something that happened yesterday (Real my journal from 02/10/25 if you're nosy) Being at King Tiger really make me happy and I just feel a lot better there. I've been making some more bread but sadly the last week I'm making it is next so I'm pretty bummed out but I have a new skill down and I get to make some more another day! I hope everyone gets some pretty well sleep and I'll be back tomorrow!

Tuesday Journal

Today was a normal day, busy but pretty normal. My day started around 5:00am, I do some of my exercises in the morning, situps, and pull-ups. Then eat breakfast and head to seminary class that starts at 6am, then I get a ride to school. Today I started after school tutoring, so I finished school around 4:30pm. Tuesday is church youth activities night, so I left for church around 6:30pm and I just got home a little while ago. It's raining outside, but not that bad so I'm going to do my running now, once around the neighborhood is 1.5 miles and that a fast run for me. So that's what I'll do tonight, after the run I can get more exercises done. I have homework still to do, and I'll try to be lights out by 10pm.

I wish I had my lap top instead of my IPad tonight. I’m in a venting mood and it’s easier to type on a lap top that on an IPAD. I had a parent call the office, no, she picked up her kid, at dismissal, told the secretary that her son gets nervous when I yell in class, I turn the secretary emails the dean of students, assistant principal, and principal. Problem 1…I don’t yell at my students.  problem 2 - this parent, myself, and her son have already had this exact conversation in October.  problem 3 - I had a bad ear infection LAST MARCH that still affects my ear…15percent hearing loss in my right ear. I have a tube in my ear. I’m not yelling, I’m probably speaking ( all of which I have already explained in October)    questions…how long ago did I yell? Why did the parent reach...

Today was a good day except for the rainy weather.  I was able to get outside for some recess before the rain started this morning. It was cold but good to get outside. In class I was able to get some more leaderships done and a mentor session.  The best part of today is it is my Dad's birthday. Happy Birthday to him and I hope everyone has a good evening. See you tomorrow.

Today was fun, but I had to wake up early for jump rope team practice, which was fun. We also did jump rope in PE... so much jumping. After school my sisters got haircuts, that took super long. Then I did my requirements, and I studied for a science test. I also had time to call my friend! We just got done with dinner and I am going to work on my Valentine's Day box, before I get ready for bed. ♥

Today was a good, normal day. I had to get up early, like every Tuesday, because my sister had jump rope practice at school. Other than that, it was just a regular day. Although everyone is getting sick! I hope I don't... After school I went to get a much-needed haircut. This took us about 2 hours, so I didn't get to run my daily mile today, but I'll make it up tomorrow. I did get all of my usual requirements done and had time to call my friend. I just finished eating dinner so now I'm just chilling before bed and getting ready for school tomorrow.

Catch-Up

Seems as if everything's a constant game of catch-up.  Last week was a terrible week, and now I have to catch up on quite a few things here at Macalester.  That just comes with a lot more lost sleep.  I wish I had time to sleep in the afternoons, because I need that to make sure I am actually well rested.  Oh well.  I guess I will have to catch up on sleep on the weekends.  I'm about to go do another midnight gym session.  Later, y'all.

Kansas City cheaters/ lets go eagles!!!

Last night was the Superbowl and the eagles won 40 to 22!!! I actually think that kc cheated during last Super Bowl because during the last play the 49ers were up one touchdown and chiefs were at the ten-yard line.  With only a few seconds left Patric Mahomes passed the ball of, and ALL THE 49ers just stood there like they had never played before while kc scored.  Anyhow I went to my friend's youth group to watch the first half and then we went back to his house to watch the second half.  After that we stayed up until two watching Captain America the winter soldier and playing battlefront 2, I still wish that I didn't half to go home tomorrow.

Cream Cheese Brownie Day! 02/10/25

Today I was reminded a lot by friends that I still have to do this stupid diet thing. It's so much harder than I thought trying not to have things with a crap ton of sugar in it! I brought bread in today #Bread4 but I forgot my belt at home and I had to be leaving TKD by 6:15! I had some high-school band sign up I had to do. While I waited for my mom to go back home and bring it even though I wouldn't be able to help class I did requirements and got my second nine minute run of the cycle! After my mom came back I had to go. We grabbed food and went to my high-school. Now, because I'm a oboist, you don't typically see them on a giant football field mostly because the reeds break easily and they cost A TON OF MONEY!...

This morning we had to wake up a little earlier than normal because we stayed over at Brien's because we were up late watching the Superbowl.  We had to get ready and get all our stuff, good thing we had our bookbags with us from Friday.  We drove home and Anthony and I both fell asleep for a little bit. We dropped Anthony off at home and then Mom drove me to school.  It was a normal day.  When I got to KT me, Carter and Nixon ran.  Then I helped out with class and led stretches.  I also got a mentor session in.  I did a few more requirements and then we went home.  We had enchiladas and broccoli  for dinner, YUMMM!!

Ice Cold

Yesterday I went to the lunar new year celebration, and won a raffle and got a lot of tea.  I can at least put that tea set to use.  I went to the ice castles at the state fairgrounds.  That was cold and windy.  I went back to meet up with a friend for food, and then spent the rest of the day doing homework and normal black belt cycle things.  Hopefully I can find people to watch Cobra Kai with me next week.

I'VE GOT SUCH A HEADACHE

Si probably the reason for my migraine is the stress of going back to school after missing two days, writing a musical, writing a song, and starting another project.   THE WILD HORSE PROJECT!   If you have read through the instructors book, there is a story called 'The Wild Horse', which I have started making a miniature musical for. I have to write the music and all dat, but I am extremely stressed out with all these music and acting projects I am currently doing. I need to take school slow tomorrow to preserve my energy.   So I once again apologize for another short journal, however, I truly eblieve tomorrow will have more to write about, since it would be more eventful. Oh I guess I did post a "The Star Spangled Banner" cover to celebrate Superbowl Sunday. The Half-Time show was phenomenal and OH MY GOD SZA I...

Just for starters I did not do a journal yesterday. My bad. Yesterday I got a bunch of stuff done. Came to Black Belt class. Almost all the First weren't there because they got sick. (I wish you guys get better soon) I did some bolo and worked with my mentee on sam and chil. My parents went to a comity show later that evening and I was home alone with my sister. We did some just dance and I found our old Minecraft card that has been missing for about 5 years. We started a new world and started building which was fun until she got bored. On Sunday I just loused around. I got to make some new bread for tomorrow and watch the super bowl. Now I'm going to dry my hair and go to bed. Good night!

Charlotte ballet

On Friday the Charlotte ballet came to my school. They were extraordinary and beautiful to watch.  They preformed a dance that was called the circus of the Animals. There were elephants, lions, swans, fish, blue birds, chickens, black swans, and many others. It truly was extraordinary. After the dance we had an award ceremony and my grandpa came I got four awards, perfect attendance, all As, dance, and most growth in mathematics since last year. Then after school I went to king tiger and took black belt class. Sorry I forgot to say this on Friday by the way but glad I was able to still tell.

SONG WRITING IS SO FUN BUT I AM STRUGGLING!!!

Still sick, I am currently extremely nauseous and have a huge stomachache. But I would like to not make this, once again, short journal focus on my flu pains throughout the entire day, because that would turn this journal into a Michael Crichton novel.    CHAMPIONS!   So the musical I am currently writing is called 'CHAMPIONS', which is a Hamilton and Epic inspired musical. The musical follows six warriors who are placed in a gladiator arena and have to fight to the death for the audience's entertainment. I have finished the first song, which is the intro song, and I am working on the second. I do already have some people who are already wanting to audition, which I am so grateful for. The music, so far, I am very proud of, and I am so excited when I am able to start promoting this musical. I have a YouTube...

Rage

Took my anger out on some weights at the gym once again yesterday.  I was hungry and had no sleep, but that's all I could do.  Classes were a blur again.  I went to an ice hockey game with my friend.  We celebrated but I had to go up to bed because to be honest I was going to drag the party down with my issues.  Woke up this morning to go to class, and that has currently been the one good thing that has happened all week.  I got in another gym session right after class and getting forms and stuff done. The black belt cycle became an afterthought this week.  But yesterday and today, this was the only thing that could distract me from everything.  I needed this to have some sense of direction and purpose. Today I am going to a Lunar New Year event.  I was one...

My Medical Update

I had a seizure on Sunday, I was told that I was out of it for about 15 seconds. I went to the emergency room, and I had all sorts of tests, and after a long time there they said I tested positive for Influenza A. They told me that a seizure is like a computer rebooting, and that's what happens to your brain, it reboots. Because of that I had to go through a head scan, and I have to go back to follow-up. I didnt think the flu would make me have a seizure but the doctors said that Influenza causes all sorts of weird things to go wrong in your body so that was the reason for the seizure. Something like that never happened to me before. I've been home all week, mostly in bed resting and taking medicine for fever. All of this happened Sunday which was...

National Fettuccine Alfredo Day! 02/07/25

Short journal because I'm really tired and I'm not feeling well. I did requirements and went to class. Talked to some people from home and played some music just to end up falling asleep for an hour. Sound like my day. I hope everyone had a good night.

EVERYBODY IS ILL AND WE NEED TO BURN THE PLAGUED!!!!

So firstly, I have the flu, which means for the past two days I have been sleeping, vomiting, gaming, repeat until the day is over. I am not only extremely upset by the fact I cannot work the job I love and make money, but the fact I missed a huge math test that I didn't study for and still plan not to study for because I hate myself :D.   SO YES ITS ANOTHER SHORT JOURNAL BUT WHAT AM I GONNA WRITE ABOUT?!   Like seriously, besides the fact I am writing a musical right now and the first song is almost done being written, what else is there to say. Oh I guess I did audition for a role in a horror short film two weeks ago and I got a message saying I got the role of the character Milo, who is terrified of the dangerous spirit haunting...

Sick day

I woke up ready to finish this week off, I did my homework first thing. After I finished that I went to school. I was feeling a little bit fatigued for the first couple hours of school,  then when I went to science class I strarted feeling really really horrible, so I asked my dad if he could pick me up early from school. After I got picked up early I rested until I went to black belt class.  Class was definitely a bit rough today  but I made it through. Once I got home I was feeling pretty bad but I had dinner  and played uno with my family. Now I am just going to lay in bed and rest while watching some tv.  Good Sleeps!

It's interesting how there are days where surreal things do in fact happen out of the blue, but more often than not, they are outlandish in a bad way.  The days where things that are surreal in a good way are much fewer, and much more far between.  Surreal things that we want to see often take a lot of work to achieve.  They don't just happen out of nowhere, and they unfortunately are fewer and farther between.  Things that are outlandishly bad that you don't want to believe happen just happen.  And they're way more frequent.  And the work comes after, to try to make things go back to normal.  Although, normal is a relative term.  The normal that I had here so far has been pretty short, depending on how you define it.  If I am to define it from when I was anticipating Tiger Claw and the demo,...

National Chopstick Day. 02/06/25

Today was pretty boring. I got a bunch of my thing done today and still have a very huge headache and sore throat. Some people are sick at my school or starting to get sick so I hope everyone gets better because most of them are the people who make you happy and make you laugh after a long day of nothing but work. I had a lot of trouble with my leg today and just now pulled my neck so it hurts to tilt my head left. Like most people on cycle right now I'm very tired and I think I might be catching whatever's going around. I just really want some sleep right now or a day off. Each is nice. But other than that I think I had a okay day, I hope everyone is getting better and staying safe!

Today was a good day. In math I had a big test, and I did well! That set a good mood for the rest of the day. In social studies I performed a little play. I am so ready for Friday tomorrow! When I got home from school I went on a 2-mile walk with my sisters and mom. Then we ate dinner, my dad came home from his trip, and I went to sparring class. Tomorrow night I have a school dance and I'm excited! Now I am getting ready for a good night of sleep.

Today I got a jump start with my physical requirements in the morning.  At school we spent time tuning our instruments in band class.  In 4 days a clinician will come and watch us play and grade us. In science we are studying the ISS and we are learning about ancient Rome in social studies. When I got home, I ran 2 miles and finished up the rest of my physical requirements.

I’m really not sure what to write about this evening. My feet really hurt, being a teacher, I’m on them all day. I only sit down at lunch, when I’m planning with my team, or pulling a small group. I could really use a good foot massage. The good thing is tomorrow is Friday. I’m going to go to Harrisburg for sparring and possibly black belt class too !?!?

So today I went to school. My first subject today was PE. I'm starting indoor soccer. Also. PE was very fun. Then after PE I went to mass. We're learning integers in math. Also, my other subject was English. We're writing our personal narrative. She gave me some things to work on but I was able to make some fixes. Hopefully I'll get it right next time. And then I went to taekwondo when I got home. Went to basketball luckily to make it to the taekwondo. A friend had to take me but he was able to did black belt and then came home. How the little snack went to bed and that's my day

Tough morning

Really stiff and sore after last night's sparring and black belt classes.  I normally do a few rounds of push ups and sit ups as well as poomsae and self defense practice early in the morning.  Today I just stretched for 30 minutes.  Felt great, but will have to spend time tonight on all of the requirements.

World Nutella Day - 2/5/25

What a long day! I went to school and came home with a bit of homework which I did before going to TKD class. I worked on my physical requirements, held a mentee session, helped lead a class and got a few more credits thanks to Master Evins and the work I did at the jr instructor camp last weekend. After class, I came home to more homework and to finish my memoir that needs to be turned in tomorrow. I am exhausted and going to bed. Nighty night. PS - my mom made some pretzel bread today which was delish. I am going to try to make it myself and bring it to class next Monday. Get ready! #Bread4

2/5/25 Long day!!!

Today I woke up later than I wanted to so couldn't get my usual done for the physical requirements.  I usually split them and do some in the morning and some in the evening. We reviewed "A jubilant spirit" in band class.  I successfully hoola-hooped in gym (that's embarrassing).  I ran my fastest mile so far today in my neighborhood, did some of my physical requirements, then went to King Tiger.  I did a mentee session, a sparing class, black belt class, and a mentor session. I am finishing up my physical requirements for the day, eating, showering and getting to bed...it's been a long day!

Today was another normal day. I had a few quizzes in school today and practiced my skit with my friends for tomorrow. Tomorrow I also have a math test, I hope I do well! When we got home, instead going to the gym, we took a 2 mile walk on the greenway by our house. I am loving the beautiful, sunny days we've been having lately. Then I quickly got ready for TKD. Today I had my first mentee meeting and got 2 leadership credits in. Now I'm doing some homework, finishing chores, and getting ready for bed.

BEST DAY OF THE WEEK

So I finally feel better like my sore throat ain't that bad no more and my left eye doesn't hurt and even though I woke up a bit late today I was able to get my homework done and go to school. School wasn't that bad like I didn't do much execpt in gym our pacer test was today and I got a 75 which is 35 higher than what I got last time. I didn't do much in the rest of my classes but I had a sub for history! So I didn't have to take notes today for an hour straight. I came home and then went to King Tiger and then went home and showered so my day was a 7/8 overall. Good night

Journal - Day 10

Good evening, everyone! This week has been good. I've finally been catching up on some work I've been procrastinating on for a while now. It feels so good to finally finish work that you've been needing to do for a long time. I didn't go to Tae Kwon Do today, so I was able to finish off a bunch of my requirements and assignments. I am mainly focusing on getting my creative put together as of now, but I still have some time left. I have two tests tomorrow and a long day ahead, but I hope to make the most out of it. I am very excited because I only have around 3 more days of my diet challenge to be over. Have a wonderful rest of your day!
