Went to 2 good classes last night and then got up for my run this morning. It's been a rough day for my physical requirements. Doing my updated pushup / situp / etc schedule, and everything is harder than it was 2 days ago. I'm going slower and not getting as many done. I hope this is a blip and i'll be back up to strength in a couple of days. I've ramped up my protein intake today to try to help a little, and had some extra fruit with lunch to help fuel my body.
Ugh! I can’t go to sparring class today! I had to miss yesterday’s class and I have to miss today’s! Thankfully I am going tomorrow. See you all tomorrow!
I am doubling up again, as I forgot to journal yesterday, probably because I was so exhausted after sparring. I did my requirements early both days, and then yesterday I went to the Belmont sparring class. It was good, and I got quite a workout, and also some great stretching in. Today I'm going to try to get to that class again, if I'm able to leave work early enough.
Today at school I found out my band is going to dollywood in the spring and we are competing and going on rides so that will be fun. After school I went to taekwondo and got a mentee session in and got my credits. Then I went to run and I ate dinner when I got home. Goodnight.
So today we had the shortest two color belt testings (if you don't count make-up testings) I think I've ever seen in my time working at King Tiger. 3 people came to test at 4:00 and 10 showed up at 6:00. The 4:00 testing was done in less than 30 minutes, giving us over 90 minutes of in-between time where we weren't really doing much. Unfortunately, I was still in quite a bit of pain right around my heel, stretching already was way more painful than it should have been because of that, so I mostly just spent that time stretching (I'm still working on flexibility goals, and I have gotten to the point where I gotta stretch every day, otherwise it doesn't feel right). Workouts this morning were somewhat painful due to that, so getting them knocked out felt that much more rewarding. I got the first win of the...
pretty normal day, went to school, did some requirements although i did have the pacer test today, i could have gotten like 65 or 70 but my whole class forced me to stop as i was “taking away their free time” so i stopped at 50 but yeah. im improving on pull ups too
Today was a good day. I woke up earlier than normal again, I feel back to sleep though. After I woke up again I started doing requirements and got all of them done. After that I took a shower, ate lunch and relaxed and talked with some of my friends until my mom got home. When she did we went to taekwondo. I helped out with a class today. It was nice to be able to help again, I got a group in small groups and I feel like I did good. I came back home and did my test answers. Now I am relaxing and getting ready to go the dentist tomorrow morning. Goodnight :)
today was a half day at schoo. i had band, chapel, and bible class. then i went to lunch with my grandma. i came home, did requirements then went to band practice. after that, me and my mom got dinner and now im headed to bed.
Today was our last day of summer break. I slept in a little then did my requirements and worked on an essay. I went to sparring and black belt class then had a session with my mentor. Tomorrow is back to school.
Today was the first day of school fun. My mom picked me up at the end of the day.
Went to Belmont tonight for a couple of sparring classes. Meg and Dillion were there as well. I thought I was going to be late due to the traffic, but I arrived with 30 seconds to spare. The Belmont crew made us feel welcome and Master Shin definitely put us through a good workout during both classes. I rucked a bit over 2 miles this morning and the weather was so nice. I'm ready for fall y'all.
Hiii today I went to school and got to hold my class pets then I went on the king tiger van then I got to king tiger and did requirements then we had to be quiet for the people who were testing then I got home well byyyy.
Today I went to school then after that I did some homework then I went to soccer practice after that I had dinner.
Today I wasn't able to get much workout done because of homework and fixing binders and other schoolwork. I'll try to make up for it Saturday.
So today when I woke up I got ready for school. After school king tiger after school had snacks. Then I got picked up and went to go get some stuff for school. That’s it bye-bye
I wanted to get up early, but I couldn’t drag myself out of bed. Have no idea what I’ll do when school starts. I finished my requirements around noon and then watched some TV. Then I went on my run with my dog. I got a little bit slower time and didn’t run as much as I usually do but I had to stop multiple times and went slower because of my dog since I was holding his leash. When I came home my dog threw up on the carpet so that was frustrating but he isn’t sick, it was just because the run made him nauseous I guess. I headed to sparring and black belt class a little later. Sparring was a little shorter today because we started late but black belt class was pretty fun. I got to work on hopkito and my stick form. Just had dinner and need to go shower.
Got up and to the gym, no class today but hit the weights. Work was busy and went quickly, Abigail and I went over to Harrisburg for their blackbelt class, it was cask to see how other dojangs do things. It’s like we all speak the same language, just with a slight accent! 2 more days until the beach!
So today was exhausting basically most of what we did today was shopping shopping shopping so we went to Aldi, Costco and I personally did not go to Harris teeter or Target but instead I went to my first fraternus night of the year and helped out in a testing and got a mentor session in it was very exhausting but otherwise good 👍
Yesterday I went to taekwondo. It was cool. Parker was there. And today was cool too. I already did my run for the day. And this is the last thing I have to do today. Well I have to take the trash out too. I can’t wait til the weekend. Because every weekend I get my 2k rewards. And I get my new player cards. But it all starts Friday. And I have been hearing stuff about a prep-rally Friday or Thursday. But I don’t really know.
This evening has been a really tough one for me. I had soccer game that started at five. It went into double overtime and then went onto Pk's. Which we ended up losing in Pk's. The whole game lasted about 2 and a half hours. So it sucks to play that hard for that long and not come out on top. But it's great for how hard we fought because 4 of my teammates had cramps and three have injuries. I'm proud of how hard we fought and we'll get it next time.
Today I went to school and it was pretty chill. I came home ran for a while and did my requirements. I had to get ready for sparring class tonight. Sparring was really fun but I did hurt my leg. So I came home and iced it. Now I’m gonna go to bed.
Today was a normal day. First I woke up and went to school. After that I came home and ate a snack. Then I did my requirements and did my dance practice. Then I went to taekwondo and took a class then had a mentor session with Master Knight then came home and ate dinner and watched tv then I did my homework because I forgot to do it when I came home from school.
Today I woke up did Requirements and headed to tkd, after I got home I watched a movie. And sense the Lake Norman had testing I went to the Harrisburg location. Then I ate dinner!! Nightt!!
Today I had to get picked up early from school because I have been sick for a few days. also today I got down with the first half of my nutrition challenge.
Today I went to band practice. I did really well and knew all of my song. I am very proud of myself
Today I left school early to go to the docters office and I found out that I have asthma so yay. But after that I went home to my dads house and I did my requirements, plus im about to go to bed for school so I can get ready for my "test". But today was okay.
Today I woke up, went to school. After school I did my requirements and then got ready for taekwondo. I went to a shin kickers class, drills for skills, and a sparring class. I got a sparring class and a mentor session with Libby. Then I went home and had chicken legs and mashed potatoes.
Today, I woke up, waited for the bus, and while I waited, I did my requirements. It was kinda weird to do the sit ups, but I did them. Then I read my book. I got my book yesterday and I finished it today. It was a huge manga.
We had a major failure in our systems overnight, thank goodness I got up early and got requirements done, because I've been heads down most of the day for work. I was originally going to go on a run this morning, but last minute decided to not run and do poomsae / self-defense / etc instead. THat choice worked out. I'll run tomorrow.
This morning me, my dad, and my brother ran two miles. I won’t be able to help with the lower belt class today and tomorrow because it’s testing. See all of you on Friday!
Tuesday's are my long day , I get to the Dojang directly after work. I help with a class, take classes and then do PMAA. Nothing was unusual about today. I completed my class assistance credit and did some review with the color belts. Tomorrow is sparring and black belt class, I am kinda looking forward to that , it is just very challenging.
Today at school I had a test in the morning and I think I did good. After school I chilled then went to trail life and that was fun. Then I went to run and that was ok. Then I went home and I ate dinner. Now I am going to sleep. Goodnight.
Worked with a fresh student today on some of the basic stances and kicks. Then we worked on Self Defense and Poomsae in the advanced class.
August 19 - Entry #13 Woke up and went to school. We had an Envirothon meeting after school so I missed my first class today, but I just help with the lower belts so it wasnt too bad to miss it. But, I went from the meeting straight to the dojang for my second class to help with other belts, and then my black belt class. I practiced my back falls. Still need to work on them, but I am improving. After class I came home and ate dinner then got ready for bed. I only have school tomorrow, no meeting or classes after so im excited to have a slow day. Good night!
Today I woke up a little early and finished my run. I got a much better time today so that made me happy! After I was chilling and then I ate brunch and after some time I finished the rest of my requirements. Then I was practicing piano for some time. Later on I went to my tae kwon do class, I helped out in the junior class and attended the senior class after. I finally got a session in with my mentee. I came home and had dinner. Heading to sleep now.
Today was the final day of preparing people for testing. I woke up early and did normal cycle workouts. Work was pretty straightforward if not once again harder than it was last week. Great news: my knee isn't bugging me so much when I do my stretching anymore! Not so great news: my ankle is once again in a lot of pain similar to earlier in the summer. I hope it's better tomorrow. Anyway, I am anticipating being able to make some progress in a breaking routine and a creative form once I can get an hour or two just by myself to do a bit of training. I hope I can find some time to get somewhere to do that.
Today I went to class and got my work done. After my work I played my guitar. I practiced songs by Gojira. After practicing I went to help at TKD. After TKD I went to get Subway.
cycles getting rough, theres no time to squeeze in any time, wake up, school, come back and do requirements then go to taekwondo and do everything online and repeat it every day.
Today was a great day. I woke up earlier than normal so I can start getting ready for my school schedule. I did most of my requirements and then relaxed. My mom came home early since today was open house. She made me a salad and we left after I ate. At open house I saw one of my elementary friends was in my school this year. I liked almost all the classes I am in and the teachers. They put me in art class 2nd semester but I asked my mom to do a schedule change for robotics instead. I got to see one my teachers from last year and will have him again for economics. I was happy to see him because he was one of my favorite teachers. Even though I liked my teachers I'm still not ready to come back. When we came back home I ate...
early this morning i had to get up and go purchase some welding gear. then i came home and got ready for school. i went and had marching band from 3:30 to 5:00 and then went straight to TKD.i got in a mentor session and a mentee session. then i came home, ate dinner, and did requirements.
My day was good. I got up did my Exercises and then I went to school. After School I did my two mile run and then I went to the Dojang to help out. Today has been a chill day.
Today I woke up, went to school. After school I took a long nap. After that I got ready for taekwondo and I went to my to a black belt class. I got a BB weekday. And a mentor session, so thats good! Today was amazing.
I don’t have alot to say today. Went to some early lessons and helped today. Im hoping to get to a black belt belt class tomorrow before we leave for the beach. Next week will be a challenge to keep on track.
Today I was sick and had to go to the doctor though I pushed through and went to tkd.
Today I went to school and I had a pretty cool assignment where we had to spina a wheel and what ever it landed on we had to draw and put 10 questions about it. After that I went home to my dads house and we went to taekwondo for the 6:30 class then I came home and I did my requirements. But overall today was fun.
Today was pretty usual but I had a very productive evening. After I got done with soccer practice, we drove to King Tiger where I got leadership credits, A mentor and mentee session which I'm really happy about. Once I got home I did my homework and tomorrow I have a soccer game as well. Goodnight!
Today was a rest day. There’s not much to it. I am sick. I have my first day of school tomorrow.
So today was pretty good I managed to get most of my school stuff done before lunch😁😁😁 but the highlight of the day was that the Disney world book came in and I basically immediately made a list of priorities cuz we're going in February I think🎢🤴🎢👸🎢 but it was a pretty good day
I woke up 7, I didn't know what to do so I kinda just stayed there in bed. But I got up and made my sister some hashbrowns. I then watched TV for a couple hours (yes a couple hours) and did some requirements. I then went to a class to help out, and then I took another class after. I then finish my requirements. I just don't know what to do before school starts.
Today while my parents worked, I worked on my requirements and did some research for my essay. After dinner, I went to King Tiger to help out with a class. When I got home, we watched another Wednesday episode while I ran.
Today was a normal day. First I woke up and went to school. After that I came back and ate a snack then did my homework. Then I did my requirements and did my dance practice.
So today should have started like any other day, except when you have a class like mine. there are a total of four boys out of sixteen students in our class (which is the entirety of 8th grade) so there is no place we can go where there isn't a gossip central, the kinds of conversations we overhear are the most HORENDUS TOPICS KNOWN TO MANKIND. It's like Chinese water torture but with talking. also, btw what is all this talk about a new variant of covid? I'm so confused. well anyway I've completed my requirements and I'm going to a well-earned sleep.
Today I went to school and then after that I went to taekwondo, after that I ate dinner.
Hii today I went to school and then went on to the king tiger van to king tiger then I ate a snack and then I took a class then I did leadership after that I did mentoring for a kid well byy.
Today we started learning piecewise functions in math which was kind of confusing but not really. The junior I was sitting next to had failed the class and had to retake it and she said it gets much harder so I'm kind of worried but it shouldn't be too bad because our teacher is really good at explaining things. In English we started reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and its good so far but its kind of hard to understand since there are a lot of big words. I watched a bunch of summary videos so i could understand the book more and then reread it and it as much easier to understand what was going on. The rest of the day was pretty normal. I got home and did my requirements and then showered and did my homework. Then I ate dinner and thats it.
Today I woke up late for school so I had to run out of the house. School was pretty boring today, nothing fun happened. I came home and went on a run around my neighborhood and did some of my requirements and had to get ready for taekwondo. Taekwondo was normal I helped with the first 2 classes and took the black belt class. The black belt class was really fun we did some rolling and falling and some self defenses. When I got home I ate dinner and now i’m about to go to sleep.
So today when I woke up, I went to school and I had my keyboarding pre-test. Then I went to King Tiger after school I took a class. After I went home ate got ice cream.byyyyye
Hey yall, so just got done with requirements for the day and I just found out about some new version of covid, I swear, we better not got back to wearing masks all the time. Any ways school was good today, yall had a good day. GN
Today was Sunday. So I went to church. But when we got there half the people were wearing masks. And a lot of people didn’t show up. My mom and I were confused. Then when my church did our announcements. They said that there is a new variant of Covid. I remember when covid became a thing. I was in third grade. It was crazy. Until now I didn’t hear much of it.
the cycle is almost half way done, it has been grueling but has gone well so far. The cycle was designed to be harsh but fair. Stick to your steps & you'll be fine. This is good because simple steps make habbits when repeated enough & this sets you up to take a more active role in anything you do.
I asked my end-of-cycle future self if I can take a day off and sleep for 24 hours. This is what he said: "Hell no you can't take a day off! This is short-term pain bro! (my future self likes to yell and say "bro" a lot) The cycle is shaping you into a different version of yourself! Growth happens when you push past the pain and what you thought was possible. Believe in yourself and write your own story of perseverance! Now get up and move bro! ... I can't live with that noise in my head, so I guess I have to keep pushing and forget about any extra sleep in the near future. <sigh>
it's been a good day for requirements. I woke up on time and got out for a run (still very slow), and knocked out the other physical requirements. I'll spend lunch working on curriculum, I'm going to focus today on 3rd dan self defense and specials, as well as some weapon forms. My creative form is close to done. I'm to the point now where i need to make sure I do it consistently every time.
Yesterday I forgot to journal, so I'm doing it now. I did my requirements in the am, then I went to the 5:15 class and assisted. After this I went to the Harrisburg black belt class, and really enjoyed it. They treated me as a guest with much respect. Today I will do a couple of classes and get some mentoring sessions in.
Today I will be helping with the lower belt class and get a leadership credit, a mentor session, and a mentee session. I just came back from running two miles and am so tired! See y
August 18 - Entry #12 Today was Monday.. enough said. Had class today. After class we came home, ate dinner and watched a movie with my sister and dad. Now im getting ready for bed. Got another full day tomorrow. Envirothon meeting after school, then lower belt classes & black belt class.
Many of us who were working during summer camp are going back to school, which doesn't leave a lot of us for the last week of summer camp. We are also transitioning to afterschool, so there's also those classes that now go on. Nothing too special went on today, other than me preparing the students for color belt testing this week. I also worked on Hap Ki Do forms with my mentees and worked more on essays when I got home after dinner. I'm about to do some stretching, so I'll see everyone later!
I finally got in bed and closed my eyes and thought, crap! I have to journal. So here I am. I’m sore from Saturday’s class so it was a battle to do physical requirements today but I felt pretty loose during class. Other thing I want to mention is that after four weeks, I messed up and had sugar yesterday and today. And some chips. It’s good in a way because it reminds me how much sugar negatively affects me, but it’s bad because it doesn’t take much to lose those bad habits. I need to get back on track tomorrow.
Today I went shopping with my dad. I got new football pads and shoes. I got a half football to use for practice. It’s cool. I can throw it at the wall and it bounces back.
Today I got up and I went to school which wasn’t that bad but after school I had to go to practice for color guard which was fun because it really chill today. When I got home I had to work on some homework and I had to go to taekwondo. I am doing my white belt challenge this week so i’m really exited to see what else I do as a white belt. After I got home from taekwondo I went on a run and my requirements. Now i’m gonna go to sleep
Today I had school and we got our Chromebook’s and we started our assignments and then I went to help with class and a lot of people weren’t signed up and I got a mentee session in and that was good. Then I went to run and I ate dinner. Goodnight.
Comedy is always about subverting expectations. as someone who is semi-unpredictable I often come funny. I like that about me as I don't have to try & can just be myself & still be liked & be sociable. This is a small problem because it leaves me vunerable to be made fun of, but I think I'm managing that well.
Today I had school, and I had soccer practice. After that, I got some leadership credits, and I also got a mentor session. Once I got home, I did my homework and got as many requirements done as I could.
Today at school I had my first college class which was sociology. The professor was really nice and she just went over the syllabus and how to get onto her page on the website we use for college classes called blackboard. We also did this name card activity where we had to put stickers on our name card that somehow represented something about us. Then I just went to the rest of my classes for the day and then got home and did my requirements and then went to high belt class at taekwondo and after that I did a mentor session with master knight. Then I came home and showered and ate dinner. After that I finished my homework which was pretty easy and now I am going to sleep
i woke up went to school hade a good day hanged out with friends went to taekwondoe and when i saw the little kid saying yes sir it was so cute i practest the roll in knife self defences and did well.
Today I went to the gym and trained chest and legs. After the gym I went home to play guitar and worked on my songs for band. When I was done playing I went to TKD and did a mentor with Master Foster. After TKD I went to get Zaxbys.
Today I went to youth group and found out that my friends from 1st grade goes there too. After youth group I went home to watch the UFC fight but you had to pay to watch it live so I watched it the next day.
Today after having my morning smoothie, I was cleaning my room and organizing it and moving stuff back into it. I listened to some true crime stories while doing so and it took like 2 and a half hours. Afterwards I had a bowl of leftover pasta for lunch and finished my requirements. I was planning on doing my run after my tae kwon do class. After, I chilled for a while and then fed my dog dinner. I go to junior class to help out and then attend the senior class right after so that’s what I did. There weren’t many people in class today. I went on my run after class and am very disappointed in myself because my time went up by a little more than a minute and I was just running slow throughout. I’m feeling pretty upset about that. I’m gonna wake up early tomorrow and finish my run and everything in the morning and hopefully get better time and run faster.
Monday- up to workout got some requirements done, work was fairly uneventful. Made it to king tiger to help and take a class, also got a mentor session in. Good day!

I woke up near 10 o' clock, and made my sister some hashbrowns. At lunch my mom gave us Bojangles, and I did some requirements. I got pretty sad since I start school in a week, but I move on. I also got my written test for a study guide, so I wrote in that for a while. After I went to practice and I'm starting my week as a white belt today, so I showed up as a white belt. It was a small class though, like seven people. I finish my requirements with my run, and that's my day.

Today I went to school and it was pretty fun after that then I went to soccer practice then I did my requirements.
Today was a great day. Got to sleep in and do requirements when I woke up. But before that I washed my hair. After I finished requirements I got to relax for a little less than an hour than went to class. I went to a another room to practice for class since there were too much people in class today and my mom forgot to sign me up. It worked out since I got to work on more poomsaes and self defense than normal. After class I got a mentor session in and went home. I went home and did more requirements by doing my 1.5 miles. Now I am about to eat with my mom and relax for the rest of the night after I do my pull ups. I have open house tomorrow so I hope that goes well. Goodnight everyone! :)
My day was good I woke up at 5:45. Before I got ready for school I did my exersises. After I got home from school I had some stuff I didn't do this morning and that was pull-ups and planks. I then went to the dojang and helped out I also did my class as well then I got home took a nice shower and yeah that's about it.
Today was a normal day. First I woke up and went to school after I came back ate some food and did my homework. After that I did my requirements and did my dance practice. Then I went to taekwondo took a class and got a mentor session in with Master Knight and we worked on staff and stick forms.
Today I did my requirements while my parents worked. They brought us home lunch. I had Stix today, so I went early and had a session with my mentee. After dinner, we watched another episode of Wednesday while I ran.
Today I woke up went to the gym then headed up to the pool, I got boba with my sister which was super fun and yummmyyy! Then I went to this creek down the road and built a Fort which was hot and Exhausting but fun. Then I went to tkd! Nighttt!
Today I finished the white belt challenge which brought back memories not much else happened though.
Today I forgot my homework on the first day of school and now I have a bad grade. I have finished all my requirements though so that's good.
Today was Sunday. So I went to church. But when we got there half the people were wearing masks. And a lot of people didn’t show up. My mom and I were confused. Then when my church did our announcements. They said that there is a new variant of Covid. I remember when covid became a thing. I was in third grade. It was crazy. Until now I didn’t hear much of it.
Overslept this morning, and I'm in the office, so I'll be doing all my requirements this evening after dinner. I prefer getting it done before work or in small spurts between meetings, but I don't have that option today. I've printed out the test and have started looking up answers. I intend to make flash cards to study with.
Today I ran two miles with my mom. I will also help out with the lower belt class and will probably have a mentor session, mentee session, and a leadership credit.
Today was a relaxing day. I slept in and watched church online because my mom was not feeling well. I did my requirements and later watched movies downstairs with my mom. My heel was still hurting from sparring so I only ran a mile tonight. I worked on some of the black belt test answers and will work on the rest this week. I was going to work on my last essay but I'm still trying to figure out what to say. Now I'm relaxing and playing online with friends. Bye!
I woke up really late today and usually today is my rest day but I had to have it yesterday because I was busy the whole day so today I had to do stuff. Before eating I practiced a little piano which I haven’t done in a long time. Then I ate, and chilled before starting my requirements. After I rested a little before finishing everything up with my run near my neighborhood with my mom and dog. My mom took my dog with her but mostly she was walking fast and not running because she wanted to do 3 miles. I did 1.7 miles. After resting I took a nice long shower and my dad made some really good dinner so I ate that and am watching a movie with my mom. Pretty chill day.
Took today to study and do more written work. Practiced my German and Took a nap!
Today I didn't have much to do, other than the poomsae watch party and a couple of essays that I had to take care of. I did a few cycle workouts, nothing too much today, and I was going to go to recfest at UNCC (to get to know the Taekwondo club and the team I was going to be training with while I'm here) but decided I was going to spend some time catching up with essay work before I eventually have to go and do schoolwork in 2 weeks or so. I am thinking about contacting the U of M's Taekwondo club to see if they compete or have individuals who compete, as that is a place that I can potentially go to for training when I'm away. It's also another way to escape a small school that, while it's great that classes are not far away at all...
August 17 - Entry #11 I dont think its counting all my journal entries so I have a couple numbered the same, to match watch it shows in tracking. But, today was a chill day. We were gonna take the boat out but me, my sister, & my mom didnt feel too good since we are all still sick.. so, we stayed home and just my dad went out. It was nice not having a full day of stuff to do. I played some video games with my sister, got some requirements done, ate dinner, showered, and now im going to bed. Start my second week of school in the morning.
We got back from vacation today. I was so tired, I napped when I got home. After that I was able to make up some of the requirements I missed. We went to my aunties for dinner and then I did my run and watched the 1st episode of Wednesday with my mom.
