Candidate Journals

Never really tried an ice bath before so thought id try it out today after a hard workout. Went straight to the gym after teaching and helping out with class. Worked out for a solid two hours and then took an ice bath at my schools rec center! Since your body is already heated from the workout, the ice bath hits hard and fast. After a while you just go numb and its relaxing! Studying for my GREs and my DATs all night though plus midterms coming up soon! Hope everyone is enjoying the cycle so far! CONGRATS TO THE NEW JR. INSTRUCTORS! 

I did really well on a science test at school. It was a review test and I got 100. I also did really well on a math test. I got a 95. I missed one question. I went to class at King Tiger tonight and did kick boxing. it was fun. I am tired and going to bed. 

So today there was a recruiting trip that our band was doing for a middle school and not even half the band showed up because barely anyone could make it, however my band director got pretty mad about it. This kinda aggravated me because he said that we need to set our prioritys straight, and that band is most important. Yet earlier during the school year he said that school stuff comes first and then band. This kinda annoys me, and I've had to miss a lot of band stuff because of this recently.

I have been slacking off on my journals recently and I need to work on that. Today was okay but it was pretty boring. Although in the afternoon I made chocolate ice cream sandwichs and they were delicious. I am pretty much done with most of my classes and I am ahead in almost every category. Hopefully I can keep it up.

Today I woke up did my things and went to school. Then I came home and did my T.K.D things. Now it's time for dinner.

It was a pretty good Monday. Work was okay, but I am continuing to struggle with people just not doing their job, and then I need to deal with the after math. I know that God has purpose in all this, so I just need to continue to do what I can and continue to try and support my fellow peers. It will work itself out. Need to stay positive. Nate and I went to class today. We normally do not go Monday, but we were meeting the Belchers for some mentor/mentee time, and we figured we would just stay for class and kick boxing as well. Both were good. The kick boxing was good. I really like leaving King Tiger knowing I had a good workout. It keeps me motivated. Keep moving!!!

Today when I went to school the door was locked and we know what that means...substitute teacher again!!!!!in p.e we started baseball and we won 4-3 I got 3 points.i had pdQ for lunch and at recess we had a football game and won.in math it was so easy.after math we finished our poster boards.for the wax  museum  I am Lonnie Johnson.    

I found out today we got a lot of credits for Camp. I went and it was pretty fun and I think one of the reasons I liked it so much was because it was organized. 

today was a very sluggish day. One of my sisters was sick last week and now one just got sick this morning and my moms not feeling too good so that’s fun. We were in charge of my neighbors dogs today and I went to help. We went to Target and got stuff. Some that we needed and some that we don’t. I also did a lot of homework. 

Today I woke up and started on my Book essay for Tae Kwon Do. Then Went to church came home and got started on my Kwans essay. Only got two paragraphs but they were big paragraphs. Then went to basketball. Are team lost. But it was a good game we played well. Came home and started on my next paragraph for the Kwans essay. Then started writing this. 

Today I woke up did my T.K.D. things (plus morning routine) and ate breakfast. Then I practiced my soccer skills (I'm okay). Then I had some friends come over for dinner.

So today I did my empathy training, and this time I went mute. Last time I did as one handed for a day and that wasn't too hard, but going a day without talking was pretty hard. Especially since I was on my Xbox for awhile so k had to text them instead of taking.

Great weekend. It was a light weekend on events and stuff, so got a chance to actually rest and relax a bit which is unusual. However, this week is going to be crazy. Between TKD classes, requirements, my daughter's Senior Night, and Valentine's Day (might do something with family)… this week is going to go quick. We have a bunch to do and hoping to get caught up a little. The good part is that I am not traveling this week. So I am excited about that. Keep Moving!!!

Today I did my things (a.k.a my morning routine) and then ate my breakfast played video games and did T.K.D things. Then I ate went to my friend's birthday party at TopGolf and had some fun there. Then my dad picked me and my sister (she came later) up from the party and we got donuts

Its been a long week and I have been working very hard on my assignments. I also finished all my requirements and I am extremely tired. Tomorrow is Monday and we have school. I need to eat dinner and then go to bed. 

helloooo i am here after being at a friend's house. me and kaelen and savannah worked on our social studies project together and it was pretty fun. so first we worked on our diorama for an hour or two. i painted the board blue for water, but my friends say i used to much paint. well, excuse me for trying to fill in all the white spaces so it looks complete. after that we sorta kinda brutally cut some army figures limbs off and added red paint for blood and glued them to the board so it looked like they were drowning. then kaelen's parents came and looked at our diorama and her dad said it was too gory, so we took out the blood (reluctantly). after that i added some sea foam by mixing blue and white paint and we were done. after that we played tag outside, but kaelen and...

Yesterday I went to king Tiger by carpool after school then got a lot of my stuff done and did a black belt class. The next day i went to my dad's house i hung out with my dad. Although king tiger stuff wise I was pretty lay back and I relaxed more today.

Today I woke up and went to school, at school I learned pythagorean theorem.  In second block we had a test and I wont know how good I did until the 16th.  Finally my ELA teacher is back after being sick for a long time.  I then went to taekwondo and went on a run.  Then I took sparring class.

I'm journaling twice. Again. And I'm actually using proper grammar this time, so get ready. Today was obnoxious-ish. Science was okay. We took a test in math, and in STEM we built gears. It was pretty boring. In art Ms. Webb went on her usual rant. Social Studies was boring. Lunch was a break, I love food so much. Spanish was good/bad. Good because I sit next to my friends and bad because it was so boring and let me just warn you I am going to go on a rant some of the people are so immature i swear its funny at first but it gets old my god how are still not bored with that i would be so bored don't you need some variety in your life oh my god how can you just do the same obnoxious things over and over again like i said i would...

Today I got up did my things and went to school. After that I did science homework (which was to look at nutrition labels at the grocery and it was optional if you wanted to get extra credits). Then I went to a Italian Restaurant to eat dinner.

Hello, Last night we had a great Black belt class with Master Jolly. She reminded us how much we need to learn for the written test. Guess it is time to start working on that. This morning we went to the family class, then the little kid class, always fun. Now we are going to settle down and do some homework before I go to work tonight and the rest of the gang goes to Anna's soccer game in Mathews.

This morning I went to the family class and helped out with it. we also helped out with the little kids class and that is always fun. then we went to get me a new pair of sneakers! They where so cool! Then we came home and did our run and our other exercises. Next we ate lunch and relaxed at the house. Then finally I had to go to my soccer game at 6:30 and then I ate dinner when home and went to bed. I can't wait for tomorrow.

Today was a slow day at school. Almost half of the high school is sick with the flu, so it’s unsettling. It was way too hot in the Spanish room for class so we went outside and had class outside. Mrs. Jolly taught class tonight and it was fun. We watched the new Mummy movie too. 

I did not do well on my chem test. I got a 75, which is okay but I thought I did better. I studied but mom said I need to study more. I went to Black Belt class. It was good. I did some requirements with my dad after class. 

okay, so hi again. today was fine. i'm tired. we had a school club day today. school club day is when we take out one period of our school day to do a club of our choice. the club i am in is math counts, but really i only came for the food (obviously). in other news, thank u, next, ariana grande's new album dropped and my little sister is going to jr. instructor's camp along with my best friend. luci would go to instructors camp, but i think she was already occupied that day. that's what she told me anyway. on other notes, have a good day today and tomorrow!

Part two of journal 18.  So, also, for one of my random acts of kindness for the bbc, i helped a friend. i can't say a lot but someone was bothering her and it was really wrong. some people called her a snitch for telling but she did the right thing because what was happening to her was really really wrong and it needed to be stopped before it got out of hand. at first when i heard when this person was bothering her i wanted to beat them up kindly tell them to stop but we need to be rational, you know? so then we went to the counselor and they got suspended. i felt really good for helping her. it was also random acts of kindness week at our school, so i guess that's bonus kindness points. YOU GET A KINDNESS, YOU GET A KINDNESS, WE ALL GET KINDNESSES!! like that...

I am definitely tired. I caught myself several times getting frustrated over little things that really do not matter. Some times you just need to take a breathe and relax a bit. I am stressed a bit over testing. I think it is the essays the most right now. We got three done, so not bad. Nate and I are going to use our time this weekend working on them. Its all good, but I am a little anxious. Then we can start to study for the written test as well. I was checking and we are about 55% through the cycle (if you include the pre-cycle). We have accomplished a bunch and more to come. I am excited. Keep Moving!!!

Today I got up and did my morning routine and I got dropped of by my dad at school. At school we learned about converting decimals into fractions and vice versa (fractions into decimals); we also talked about he Salem Witch Trails in Social Studies and we did Spanish and Music. When I got home I helped my dad with things, did T.K.D. requirements  and went to Tae Kwon Do's Thursday B.B.C. class. 

I have not posted in a while but a quick summary of what I have done/doing is I take/do some king tiger classes. I did the food drive on a saturday. I hang out with my friends ran some miles with them. watched part of the super bowl (Sickio Mode) and went to school a lot. I have noticed that i need to catch up on some leadership credits but i could not make it to class today. Although i will get them done soon.

Hey all, Really great morning and great training at the Lake Norman school. Always love being surrounded by some much talent, knowledge and pure awesomeness. Tweaked a lot of my self defenses which I desperately needed. Went to our Harrisburg school and enjoyed a mind numbing fire alarm for about half an hour. I guess the fire department new it was a false alarm because it took a long while for them to show up. We had a least three folks sign up today. There is definetly and steady stream. Hopefully it won't be long till we have those mats filled up. My heads starting to bob so it's time for me to hit the rack. Enjoy the weather.

Good day at work today. Got myself organized and caught up a bit. It is great feeling of accomplishment. I am feeling pretty good about this BBC, but there are a couple of items that I feel a little behind... mentoring, essays, leadership 2 and journals... still time to get caught up... but need to focus these next two weeks because we have Instructors camp, and then I have to travel to Hong Kong for work. I know that sounds great... but I will absolutely be in the air longer than on the ground, so not fun. I will lose about 1.5 days of my life with this trip and that will not be good for all the requirements. Need to be in a good place before I leave. Keep Moving!!!

I am almost done with my sparring classes which will be a relief because soccer tryouts are coming up soon. If I make the team I will be practicing on Mondays and Wednesdays. On top of that we will have games on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Hopefully I get most of my stuff done. I am going to ask Master Chelley whether I can count my soccer as a mile or not. 

So apparently ladybugs are good at pest management. In horticulture, my teacher bought this container of them to release a few at a time in the greenhouse, because some middle schooler left the door wide open and now we have bug issues. So she meant to let a few out, and she did, but then she dropped the whole container on the floor and they were all on the loose. We tries to get them back in the container, but we gave up. Now theres about 100 ladybugs in there. Those bugs don't stand a chance now.

I had good day at school today. Had my chem test and I think I did well. worked on my deisolation project as well. It was nice out today and my friends played a cool game at recess. It was like tag but it was teams. We made it up. Then I came home and we had Tae Kwon Do tonight. Got to help with class and Tiger and I played some games with the kids. It was fun. 

I had a good day. School was fun. In the evening I did my requirements. Then I went to Taekwando for my sparring class. Then I had dinner. Then I watched my normal watching time. I am going to bed now.

Today I had a good day, I played a lot of guitar, did requirements, did my homework, and was able to spend the remander of my day with my oldest brother who came in for dinner and stayed for a bit after. Unfortunately, he had to go back to his apartment because he has work tomorrow. I had hiccups for practically the entire day which I was really upsetting.

Today in science we had a test about Evolution. It went ok but my science grade is droping and I really want to have straight A's. So far I had straight A's in my first semester, but I want A's for the whole year. I am really exited about my BBC Test because I can finally get my Dan. I was supposed to get a 1rst Dan last cycle but they shiped the wrong belt or something,but it says on my certificate that I have a 1rst Dan and also I am 13 but I don't know what happened.

Today I got my short sticks! I also had a pretty normal day. In math we are learning about decimals (I'm in 4th grade) and in ELA/Social Studies ( I have the same teacher for both) we are talking about the Salem Witch Trails. After school I did my requirements and assisted in the Wednesday's Wang Ho class.

Today was a fun, yet stressful day. I had to take a test in social studies, I was really nervous about it, but, I got a 100! In science, it was the last day to work on our project. Again, we did manage to pull through. I got home and did my requirements.

It is Wednesday and that is Men's Ministry at our church. Awesome message this evening... simply put is that we need to "put on Christ" everyday. Not looking to preach... but we need God in our Spirit and Soul to battle the temptations and evil in our lives. We must fight everyday, and we will prevail. If you slip any day, then we will be defeated.  Great message and great table I sit with. There are questions raised at the table that we discuss. It is a chance to open up and talk to other men about the message. It is fantastic to talk to people about this.  Keep Moving!

Yesterday was a good day. From school i went straight to my classes and then from there to Tae Kwon Do. I finished all my 15 sessions with my mentee. I am still going to work with him everyday. 

I had a good day. School was fun. In the evening I went to Code Ninjas. Then I went to Taekwando. I did my volunteering there. Then I did my menteeing. Then I had dinner. Then I watched my normal watching time. I am going to bed now.

In class today we worked on short sticks and I had a great time. I also got in a mentor session but I need to get a lot more of those and journal a lot more too. Master Lloyd took me home from kickboxing today because my dad is out of town and I was very grateful for that as well. My dad will be coming back this Thursday. 

Today we went to the children’s theater and we saw bob Marley's three little birds 

At church we had a great lesson. It was about god always does miracles everyday we just don’t see it. We watched it in a movie. It was about a kid and his father that live through several miracles. The biggest one was when the kid had emergency surgery on his liver but didn’t die. But he did see heaven, god, and everything that is happening to his family and friends. The last thing we saw was when his dad was a on duty firefighter he went to a man’s house that was on fire. He ended up going inside to save the man’s family, but instead he found manicans because this man had no family. That was the last thing we saw before we had to go.

The new school seems to be growing. This is the second night and our classes are increasing. Still, we have a lot of mat space to fill. We finally got the website to review. It should be live in two days (hopefully). I really like the layout. Another good call Master Evins. I'm a bit worn through tonight, so this will be short. Long day, but a good day. Especially with this weather. Thank you God. I'm rolling out. Aim high and kick low.

today was a catcher user kind of day. I did two more benchmark tests that I mist and got good scores on both of them. Tomorrow I will get my missed science homework done.

today I went to school and we learned about ancient china. we also learned about geology and percents and unit rashios. then I came home and eat dinner with my family and read books and when too bed right after I did my exercises.

I had a good day. School was fun. For  reading I got an incentive for reading 20 books this year. In the evening I did my requirements. Then I watched my normal watching time. Then I had dinner. Then I went to Taekwando to do my weekday black belt class. Then I did my mentoring. I am going to bed now.  

               I had a good day. In the morning we dropped my brother to his school for the first time ! He cryed a little bit but not that much. Then I did my requirements after I came home. Then we went to pick him up. I used to go to that school so some of the people there remembered me. Then I came back home.                  Then I had lunch. Then I  did a reading passage. Then I watched my normal watching time. Then I went to Taekwando for my volunteering. Then I did menteeing with Harith. Then I finished my requirements. Then I had dinner. I am going to bed now.  

Today we were playing floor hockey during gym once again, and of course I decided to wear shoes with no traction. So everytime I went after the ball and actually got it, (yes we were using a ball for some reason) I just couldn't stop myself. Everytime, I would just keep sliding, and eventually fall, until I mastered the art of the recovery. 

Today in p.e we played capture the flag and some of the other were cheating. At recess we had an hour and thirty minutes and we played football ????. After math we did lesson 4 of cursive.after cursive we were supposed to do a huge football game.last night I watched the super bowl and patriots woooonnn and the rams got ram-ed 13\3.

Today I did my normal things and went to school. Then I came home and listened to the complaints of my sister about missing her book fair because she was sick ( the book fair was at her school).Then I went to Tae Kwon Do.

So with the black belt cycle it is making it hard to find time outside of class for a social studies project. All of the work is done outside of class so we must find a weekend time that works and finding time in between Saturday black belt classes and church on Sundays is going to be a challenge. Otherwise I think that I'm getting better at pushups and my mom is helping me correct my form. Happy Tuesday!

Today was an amazing day. I had a project to present in class, I was super nervous about it, but I'm glad to say I did much better then I thought. I got home from school, did my requirements, and worked on another project. 

Today in horticulture we were in the greenhouse transplanting stuff into bigger pots. I don't know why but I just do not like being in the greenhouse at all. The teacher also sprayed us with the hose. It was really cold water.

Today I woke up and ate breakfast.  I then rode the bus to school and it was a good day.  In gym we went outside and played football and soccer.  Later on I went to taekwondo and ran.  Then I went home and ate dinner, then I took a shower and did homework.

so this is part one of what i did one the weekend for week 3 on the tor- black belt cycle. jk if you got that, sorry. moving on. so saturday i went to my competition for that thing i'm not going to tell you about. it was fun. it was cool. we didn't win but whatever. a lot of teams were there from all over nc. and only four went to nationals, so our chances were pretty slim. we worked hard though, and even though we didn't win, we were happy for the teams that did. i met a guy named paul and his rich guy friend (who was wearing versace at the time). they were cool. i had fun with my team at this place where set up these games for you to play. i beat people and lorded it over them. and yes, i am aware that that...

hellooooooo my internet is about to turn off in a minute, again so this is going to be short. so we got to go outside today in ELA and it was really nice bc it was really nice outside and everything. and i had a break from being inside. so that was all. have to go will do a part 2 byeee

Today was a pretty boring day. I didn't feel well like I had a cold and allergies and I was stiff in my neck and didn't feel like walking around, but luckily I didn't have any TKD classes tonight. I'm feeling way better and got all of my requirements in for the day.

       I had a good day. In the morning I did my homework. Then I read Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban. Then I did my requirements. I got a new pull up bar for my pull ups. So I can do it more regularly now.        Then we went to go for my brother's hair cut. I read Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban there. Then I had lunch. Then I read Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban for 4 hours and I finished it. It was 435 pages long. Then I went for a walk. Then I watched the SUPER BOWL 53 ! It was so exciting. I had dinner while I watched the super bowl. The Patriots won against Rams ! I am going to bed now. 

Yesterday was a really long day. I finally finished all my assignments. I could not go to Tae Kwon Do class because of my assignments

Got up early this morning to get myself ready for work and then get Nate/Lexi ready for school. I took Nate to the bus stop and headed to Cary NC for some meetings. It is about 2.5 hour drive, and got in by 9:00am. Good day of meetings. Went to my mother-in-laws in Cary and stayed there (which I usually do), and then did my requirements and exercises. Had dinner and now writing this. I started to do some research on the History of the Kwans. Getting ready to write the next essay. Keep Moving!!!

So in STEM class today we split up into pairs and I got paired with Maddux. He is a really nice and funny guy, we will be researching a crank and slider gear type. The logistics of it are really cool because basically you turn a wheel which is hooked up to a piece of metal through an axel and the piece move back and forth. Hope everyone has a good day!

Today was pretty normal, i got a ton of hw from science just like always. i am also going to DC for my school field trip and im really exited. I am probably going to stay up all night and play fortnite. We also get to choose our partner for the trip as well.But the funniest thing today was our teacher was roasting my friend for fun.

Went to school and came in to crazy stuff. Five friends huddled at one table trying to talk to me about the super bowl. Then lots of discussion throughout the day came home rested did school work. Then worked out. Ate dinner. Showered and started writing this.   

I had a pretty good day today, I woke up around 9:30. I got ready early and hung out with my older brother and his girlfriend that came to visit for the weekend. She lives in West Virginia and only gets to visit him every once in a while so it was nice to see her. Around mid-day she left for the airport. The rest of the day I drove my parents around for some errands and then did my requirements and practiced guitar. Just finished my homework and now am getting ready for bed.

Today I went to school. When I came home I did my T.K.D Requirments. Now my cousins are here (they live close).

Today was a normal day at school. We learned about geology and the study of earth and earth quakes. We also learned about Zuel in ancient China. I also got to play my saxophone in band. And then I went to soccer after homework. I went to goalie practice. And then I came home, did my exercises and went to bed.

Wow, it has been a long week at the Horstmann house. We are all getting over the Flu. I was at work for the last seven days, I know, shouldn't have gone sick, but there is a huge guilt factor when I don't go. Luckily it wasn't a horrible week in that sense. It was a bit of a struggle with the illness. All of the kids have been sick. Charlie went back to school for the first time in a week. Anna went back last Thursday. William is out of school now. Today was also the first day in a week I have done my exercises, hopefully we will still be on track. Can't wait to get back to class. See you soon.

Yesterday I went to the community service. It was really fun and I had a really great time. Honestly better than the last one. this time we got free food and snacks. I also visited the new school it was pretty big but I heard they were making it bigger. 

hellooo it's me. againn because i forgoot to journallll yesterday. i hope that you're well, did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened? okay. we're done now. so part two of what i did on the weekend. on sunday i woke up, sat around, ate a bagel. after that i went to a class. "a class for what?" you might say. buuuuuuut i'm not going to tell you. again. so after that i got home and did double my requirements since i missed yesterday bc i had this big competition. so after that, i sat around again until the superbowl came on. we watched it for a while but i have school tomorrow so my parents made me go to bed. i'll end this post with two forbidden words. go patriots. 

Yesterday was good. I had tons of assignments to finish. I still have a few left to get done. My dad and brother were watching the super bowl. I went to bed as i was really tired. Now waiting at the bus stop.

Today I woke up for church then got ready. At church we had a great lesson about service. Then came home did exercises and learned bolo by using a video. Went to basketball and did lots of things. Came home put one the supper bowl. Worked on essay. Then wrote this.

It is officially Girl Scout cookie season. I can't tell you the number of cookies I have eaten already. My family is a sucker for Girl Scout cookies.

Today I read a lot of my book for TKD. On Friday I went to Kick-boxing and a black belt class. I think that having the same routine of the classes is getting easier with each week.

Big day for Master Knight and I. The grand opening. Let me start with thank you. So many of you came out to support us and make this a success! It was so amazing to see all these people show up who were taught by Master Knight at some point of their lives and how he made such an impact with them. Hopefully the momentum will continue. I'm making this a short one due to the fact that my wife will probably find me drooling on my key board sound asleep if I don't go to bed now. You rock!

Wow! This cycle has gone by fast this is the 56th day of cycle. And my 30th journal. Today was are community service day, we helped sort the canned foods at the food bank. Then we went grand opening of the new  Harrisburg King Tiger school. It was bigger then I expected. Then we came home tiered but still finished exercises. Then I started writing this.

I had a good day. In the morning I did my requirements. The I went for my basketball game. I won ! Yay !!! Then I had lunch. Then I went for my community service project. Then I did my eassy. Then I read Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban. Then I went shopping. Then I had dinner. I am going to bed now.

Today we had our community service in which we helped out with the Loaves and Fishes organization. For those who don't know, the story behind Loaves and Fishes lies within the gospel of Matthew. But that is a story for another time. But the service was really fun, and we packed a lot of food to help out people. I think this was a great service and that honestly, we should continue to help out with this organization.

Today I went to sparring class and helped with family. I later did a mentee session. And after that I went to do my community service. There were lots of people and canned food. It ended early and so many canned beans!

Yesterday was a good day. From school we went to BB class. Did a lot of poomsae and self defense and worked on our stick forms as well. Came back home and slept. This morning we went for our community service project at the Methodist church. It is very near from where we live. My mom dropped me and my brother and we went and helped store the food. All the friends from the BB cycle came today and it was great fun.

Today I'm moving in to my new house! I had a good day but when I got home the kitchen sink overflowed but we got it fixed. I went to my friend's house for dinner

Today I woke up and went to school.  At school I had two tests which I did good on both.  Then I went to taekwondo went on a run then took black belt class.  After that I went home, ate and did requirements.  Next I took a shower and now im going to do whatever.

I am really excited for tomorrow because we have the community service and also the new Harrisburg TKD School. I can't wait to help out for the community service because you could help people in need. Also about the new school, I'm going to go there very soon. A lot of people from the North Charlotte students are going to call me a traitor but I have to do it.

today was normal. again. sometimes i feel like i'm trapped in the same hamster wheel running the days over and over again. but enough about that. today was so weird for some reason. it's not really about the things that happened during my day, but more like the feeling. it was weird for some reason. i don't know why. some people were randomly sad and happy, and it was strange. and that's it. all I have to say about my day. I can't come to community service tomorrow because I have another thing that goes all day. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is, so don't bother asking. So, in conclusion, goodbye. 

Today was a very, uh, interesting day today. First when I was going to school, there was this big accident that literally happened right across the street from us with a car hitting a truck. Then my homeroom/English teacher brought in all these National Geographic magazines from the 70's. Then later in the day this kid in my Astronomy class breaks his Chromebook, oops. Today just had a weird feeling to it.

Swelling in my arm has been going down! Still cannot extend my arm all the way though. Overall, its been a hectic day. Exam at 8 am and then another at 2:30. long and hard exams but over all went well! Excited for master knights grand opening tomorrow! hope to see everyone there!

My day at school was okay. We did get information about our Starbase Rocket Launch at school where we get to build rockets. I am excited to try this. I have watched some on youtube and it seems cool. I also found out we have a chemistry test next week. I need to make flash cards. I will do it. Going to King Tiger tonight for black belt class. 

I had a good day. I read Harry Potter and the prisoner of Askaban. Then I had lunch. Then I played with my nanny. Then I watched. Then I went for a walk. Then I had dinner. I am goin b to bed now.

It feels I haven't journaled in a while. Been so crazy busy with working my old business, and helping Master Knight with the new school. Our new water cooler came in yesterday, so I installed that. Some signs came in so I hung that. Some kicking bags came in so I kicked that. I have been trying to learn more about social marketing so I won't look like some major idiot when our Marketing guy starts talking about Pixels, seo, tagss. and about thousand other terms I don't know yet. So, I downloaded a book on it and hopefully it can learn me. Wish me luck! Stay groovy cycle dudes and dudettes!  

Today I had indoor p.e and we played four  corners but not really anyone liked it because we had to do exercises when the corners are called. At recess we played soccer and it was funny ????.in math it took me 30 minuets to finish.after that we did cursive lesson 2 .

It has been a very good but busy work... more for work than anything. We had three days of management sessions discussion our 2019 plans and strategy at work. Basically it is work hard and more than last year... which is typically the message. However, I think we are being a little smarter on how we are going after the  market this year. We have good plans, but lets see how we execute on them. I am excited. We are basically right in the center of the testing cycle if you count the pre-cycle in terms of days. I am feeling pretty good about most items. Working with Master Marcus on Staff Form 2 and Bolo Form... I am starting to get it down. Minor mistakes and making changes. I will be ready. I continue to listen to Grandmaster Evins video on Facebook. It is inspirational... basically this is hard so...

I had a good day. School was fun. In the evening I did my requirements. Then my dad came home. Then I went to my basketball practice. Then I went to do my mentoring session with Master Dege. Them I had dinner. I am going to bed now.

I made a journal 11 but I don't think it's showing up. I had a pretty normal day but tomorrow I'm moving so, I don't want to get to tired. I went to my new house today to check it out and it has a pool which I'm looking forward to.

Had a good day, I was able to get homework out of the way pretty quickly, then went to taekwondo. I got a lot of sparring round in which was nice. I cleaned out my brother's turtle's tank and changed the filter, I'm watching over her while he's at college. My AP Human Geography test went well but I think I could have done better. Other than that I'm just settling down for bed, tomorrow's Friday so I'm excited about that.

Hey folks, From watching Grand Master Evins video on Facebook, it seems some folks might be losing heart. If you are reading this and are dreading one more push up, pomsae, or self defense, rest assured you are not alone. Sometimes knowing that we are all struggling and have those moments of "Why am I doing this?" really helps. Let me tell you, once you pull through that tunnel and start seeing the light, and realize it's not a train, then it all becomes worth it. Remember, this isn't something that is a chore on your daily lists of things to do. This is a personal challenge to yourself that if you dig deep enough, there is nothing you can't do. A few lessons I learned during my Air Force days was don't worry about tomorrow, focus on what the next five minutes brings. I have been pushed to what I...

Yay!!! Today is Friday. Yesterday was a good day. Went to school and from their went straight to my classes. From there went to Tae Kwon Do. We did sparring and i also got a mentor session done. Ready for the weekend

Today I went to school and I got inducted into the National Elementary Honor Society. Then I went to piano class and after that I helped out with family class and also took black belt class. And that sums up my day!

Today I went to school and then went home after seven hours. After I got home I did my homework ate some food and then did some push ups and situps. Soon I went to sparing class. I did four rounds and then went back home and finished my homework and went to bed.
