Candidate Journals

Today was the first day back in 2019 it was fun we had chocolate.after school I did 20 more requirements then after that I’m on my way to basketball practice and I might have to do a  scrimmage .so we can win 

Excited and happy to be back in class! Actually missed the smell of rubber mats and the sweaty air. Green stripe today so knocked out a lot of my kicks in between classes. Excited for the new year and the new curriculum that we have planned! Went to the gym and knocked out a couple more of my physical requirements, but with college starting back up next week, im going to have to tweak my schedule just a bit.  Hope everyone has had a good start to their new year!

I had a good day. My nanny came after a few days. I built a fort in my room out of blankets. I read my science book. I learned a lot like CO2 means carbon dioxide, CH4 means methane and H2O means water And I memorized some of the periodic table. I was reading almost the entire morning. I played MONOPOLY with my nanny after lunch. Then I went back to reading. I went to Code Ninjas after that. I watched my normal watching time then I finished almost all of my requirements before dinner. I am going to bed now.

Today I had to go back to school. It was a fairly good day. In Spanish we moved seats last class and now its one of those awkward silences during the entire class. Also in art we get to make a dress or tux out of recyclable materials. My group chose to do a dress and my friend is the model. The whole group compromised one a dress. He wanted something with empty cans so that he can call it "light weight armor". I think its going to turn out ok.

Happy late new year! Today I was tired of standing because after black belt class my dad came late so I had to wait for a while. When I came home at 9 o Clock I ate my dinner and here I am after what I did just writing my log.

Today I woke up and went to school, then I went to tkd and waited until sparring and took class.  Next I went home and had chicken wings.  Next I took a shower, did requirements and did my homework.

Today was my first day back from school since the break. It was nice being able to see all my friends and teachers again, although skeptical about what the new semester brings, I know that I will be able to handle anything that it throws at me. My brothers have come home from college for the break; I impatiently awaited spending my time with them as I arrived home. After hanging out, I spent my time at King Tiger, did my daily cycle requirements, and I'm now settling down for bed.

Yesterday was a long and tiring day. I had school. I came back at 3.45pm and was really tired. I took a small nap and then headed out for my classes from 4.45pm. Then went to class and led and helped 6.15pm class. After that i worked with my mentee. My brother had to finish his class before we reached home at 8.15pm. I literally crashed into my bed. Finished my morning requirements and getting ready for school now.

today was tiring!!!!! we did our exercises in the morning then did the 5:30 class THEN we did the sparring class and then we went back home to eat and go to bed. All in all a stressful day.

today I went to school and we learned about astronomy! It was an interesting lesson! then I went home and did my exercises and then went to the 5:30 class and we played a game! then we went to sparing class!! finally we went home and then went to bed!

Wow, today I did my workout in the morning, which I regret, now having gone to a regular class at 5:30, followed by Master Markus' sparing class. All in all an exhausting day. In between I took down the Christmas decorations, kind of sad having that season over. Hard to believe the school year is half over.

Today I woke up at taekwondo because of the new years eve party at there.  We had donuts then I went back to my moms house. I did some requirements then took a nap, after that I plaued some bo4. 

 Today I’m going to open up the tae kwon do school for the first time of 2019.but before I’m going to run.then we might go see a movie later then go back and go get some ice cream or donuts.then build a fort and play on electronics like FORTNITE. have a good day 

Today I helped out with the 3:15 class and the 3:45 class then took the 4:15 class. I'm getting better at running longer without stopping and keeping better track of my exercises. 

Wy family and I went to the movies again today. This time we saw the new Spider Man movie. As we were watching the trailers, the trailer for A Silent Voice popped up and I got so excited. Its an anime movie and its been released for about a year, maybe two. But it hasn't been released in theaters in the U.S. But Its finally here!

Happy New Year King Tiger Family!   After a late night with friends and slacking a bit these past few days, had to grind hard today. Woke up early to hit the gym and knocked out 4.5 miles before heading home to finish up my book essay. Trying out this new protein rich diet that target muscle growth/recovery so lets hope it works! Today is Tuesday, which means it was back and shoulders day. Focused a lot on my pushups and tried out different variations. Knuckle pushups, wide pushups, diamond pushups, etc.  overall, productive day. Can't wait to start class tomorrow!

This has been a great 10 days off from work. I have really enjoyed spending time with family. Tomorrow the kids are back to school and I head back to work. The good part is only two days and then the weekend. Next week will the real test. It has been really good to just unwind and forget about some of my real-world responsibilities a bit. Although we were very productive over the break on requirements. We have bunch still ahead of us and I am excited for 2019. Good times and a great year ahead. Keep moving. 

Happy new year everybody! I am so excited for what's going to happen in the rest of 2019! I had a good day. I worked on my 4th essay all morning. I finished it like 30 seconds before lunch. I watched my normal watching time. After that I went for a walk to get my miles in. After coming home I finished all my requirements just before dinner. I am going to bed now. 

Today was an interesting day, judging how I spent a lot of money today. My dad and I fixed a gutter outsied of our house because it was broken, and then we went to Best Buy to buy a new heaseth for my Xbox because I kinda broke my last one. And that was pretty expensive. I mean to think, that an Xbox headset, which cost $70 and takes a short time to produce, costs more than let's say, Black Ops 4 which took year's to produce, is really saying something. Well I hope you All enjoyed your New Year's!

Yesterday was a great day. I finished all my requirements and then in the afternoon we went to the greenway to do our run. I ran 2.5 miles in a steady pace. My dad and i ran the last mile together and I beat him by a few seconds. Getting ready for school now. My bus comes in 20 mins. Have back to back classes after I come from school.

Woke up exercised. About to go to lego store. Not very busy.

Yesterday  I went to the hornets game then I went to the hartles for there lock in it was fun we played limbo,jump the river,snow ball fight,and had pizza ????  it was amazing ????........and we did the count down and screamed..

There is just something so stressful about the last few days of break. You have the stress of trying to understand and actually do the homework, figuring out what classes you have the first day back, figure out what work is due sooner, thinking of midterms, having to wake up early soon, and just school in general. At least I have only two days of school this week. Why do teachers assign stuff to do over break? Just why? They complain about all the grading that they have to do, so a simple solution is to not give out as much stuff.

Hello. Today our friends left for Pennsylvania, it was great to see them. Hopefully we will see them before they return for Easter. We did our exercises, under some duress from one individual. I won't mention her name, but it sounds like Anna. We are looking forward to a quiet last day of vacation.

today I played gaga ball with my family! Also I did my exercises and then we made cupcakes! then we ate dinner watched a movie and then went to bed!

I had a good day. I took a break from exercise today because my essay took almost all day to finish. I am glad I got it done. I had my normal watching time in the evening. After dinner I was excited to stay up but there were no good programs to watch. So I am going to bed now. Bye Bye 2018, Hello 2019! 

Happy New Year everybody! I had a great day yesterday. Finished most of my requirements in the morning. We went out for a pizza party lunch. Came back and watched a movie. I finished all my other requirements for the day. Our neighbour's were bursting a lot of fire crackers. We watched for a little and then went to sleep. School opens tomorrow :(

today we walk up did our work out and played aviators. We went to bed late last night because it was new years eve. Other than that it has been quite univentful. Our cousins came today and we invited our neighbors.

today I went for a walk with my dad and we took our two puppies! I also did my workout and then we had guest over for dinner!

The kids woke up early today, despite being told to sleep late, after the late night last evening. We all did our exercises. We have started to do our daily Kicks, wish we had started a couple of weeks ago. Anna and I went for a walk with the dogs. We are currently awaiting the arrival of the Scarletts, great friends from Sara and my training in Rochester, NY. Should be a fun evening.

We always try to take any vacations around Christmas after Christmas. I'm not a big fan of crowds. So we are heading up to Pigeon Forge tomorrow for a few days. Unfortunately, its looking like rain in the forecast, but what can you do. Got my running shoes packed, which I desperately need some miles put in. I won't be doing a 7:19 mile anytime soon like Gould, who's complaining how slow that was. Bloody gazelle! These days, my philosophy is, if there's no angry predator chasing you, no need to run that fast. But I love his drive so, Run Gould Run!  Had the boy do some work today at the school. Taking off the painters tape on the baseboards. Stuff that's low to the ground where I don't want to be anymore. They actually did a nice job.  Historical event that happened today: 1845 Texas admitted as 28th state of the...

Today i had a free day I watched maze runner It was fun and tomorrow night I’m going to watch the second one that takes place in the desert 

Today I woke up, and played. Then we did all are exercises. Hanged out ate lunch. Then shortly after dinner. Then got ready for New Year's Eve lock in. Know writing this.

I had a good day. I spent almost the entire morning working on my second essay. I was finally able to finish it just after lunch. I watched after that. After my watching time me, my dad and my brother Eshan went for a little jogging and walking. I completed the rest of my requirement goals after that. I am going to bed now.

Apologies for not posting for the last two days, but here is the run down of the last few days:   December 25th (Christmas day): Woke up early and opened up presents with my family. Before I could sit down and enjoy breakfast, my sister and I found a stray male pitfall roaming around the back yard. Couldn't have been more than a couple months old. I asked my neighbors if the puppy was theirs but they said no. I tried approaching the dog but it seem scared and would keep its distance. But it was totally harmless. It kept walking around the neighborhood so I decided to follow it and see if someone was looking for them. After an hour, he seemed to trust me and followed me back home. After coming up to me, I could see that it was covered in dirt and he had scars around his...

today was great, we went for a run, came back and wrote our second essay about the "Art of War". Then we got subs and chilled out. We also made a birthday video for our Aunt. Then we did a movie marathon of the Kung fu panda series.

today we made a video for our friend jenny! we did our run and our other exercises and had pancakes for breakfast. The we ate chines food and watched movies!

Today was a great day home with the kids. We all worked on essays and did our exercises. Then went for a 5 mile walk/run. In the afternoon we spent a couple of hours making a birthday video for one of our best friends.

Funny that 2018 is almost behind us. Every year I get older and the years seem to move faster. The solution for that problem is simple. change what you do. I hear it all the time, friends, family, and me, how time seems to move quicker than it used to. The length of time hasn't changed (thankfully). But what we do in that time is the problem. We are creatures of habit, and as we constantly repeat our behaviors, our minds go into cruise control and stop paying attention to the intricacies of the world around us. Sooo, the best medicine for that is to change it up. Change careers, create new challenges, drive slow in the fast lane, stuff like that. Even little changes can add new meanings. Fear is a great way to slow things down. The fear of walking away from our comfort bubble. The fear of starting...

Yesterday i did my empathy challenge. I chose to be mute as part of the challenge. It is one of the toughest thing ever. It was very difficult not to talk. I managed it pretty well; but i talked a few times. My dad extended my time for another 30 mins and then made me do additional burpees for talking. I feel sad for the people who are not able to talk. GOD has given us everything and i am thankful for that. I want to make sure i help people in need.

I had a good day. In the morning I completed some of my requirements and did 200 sit-ups! Before Tae kwan do class started I did another 100 sit-ups. By the way sit-ups are easy for me. After lunch I watched and then I completed the rest of my requirements. We went to the store after that. I am so proud of myself to be able to over achieve and get to 300. I am going to bed now.

Today I went to church and when I got home I played games. Then I FaceTimed my friends. And that sums up my day!

Today was a really good day, I watched an amazing movie, did my requirements, and spent time with my family.

Church was good today. It was about loving people the way God intended. There should be no bounds in loving people. God wants our love to be equal. We make that very hard the way this world works, which is how we have allowed it to become (over many generations). We all need to ask ourselves, how do you want to love people? How do you want to deal with people... not how you think it is expected or how they will expect you to. We should love people no matter what their race, creed, or color... not matter what their circumstance or where they come from... no matter what has happened in their lives or what they might believe. This hit me pretty hard today... I think we judge people very quickly in this world and social media makes it easy to do that. I know I do it. It...

Got up early and got some exercises done. Dad and I went on a run before church. Then we went to church and came home. We finished some stuff and working on cleaning my Lego room. 

Today I woke up then my mom came and picked me up, we went to longhorn then to see aquaman.  After that I went back to her house and did some requirements

Today I woke up and got ready to go to black belt class.  I then did a mentee session.  After that I came home and played basketball and did some requirements, then I got on xbox and saw it was double xp on bo4 so im playing that now.

Yesterday was a great day. The Black Belt class was really good and lot of fun. We did a lot of poomsae, bo cho dan self defense and specials. We also did sinualae. After the class we came home and had our lunch. Then in the afternoon, we went to the greenway and my brother and i ran 2.5 miles. My parents did their daily walk. I ran the first mile in 10.45 mins and the second mile in 9 mins. Today i am doing my empathy training. I started in the morning. It is very hard not to talk. I had a paper and write what i want and give it to my parents.

I had a good day. I was excited for my play date today and I completed my requirements before I went for it. I reached all my goals for everything except running, jump rope rounds and pull-ups. After lunch, we went out for a walk. I got 1.5 miles done. After that I waited at the front door for my friend's dad to pick me up to go to his house. It was fun there. After that my dad picked me up from his house and we went to the gym to do pull-ups. When we got home I did jump rope rounds before eating dinner. I am going to bed now.

Today I went to Black Belt Class at the Lake Norman location and learned a few of my short stick forms and a few of the staff form. Then when I got home I did all of my physical requirements.

Today was my friends dads birthday. They had one of those chicken nugget platters from Chick-fil-a and I had like 20 chicken nuggets. I also taught people how to make paper cranes. I was also undefeated at Battle Ships. It was a good day.

Yesterday was another good day. This morning we woke up and went to Lake Norman for the weekend Black Belt class. My dad really wants me and my brother to start school and go to our normal classes as he feels it has been way too long a break. We did a lot of poomsaes, self defenses and staff and stick forms. The weather is really good today. I am going to the greenway to run with my brother and my dad and mom will do their daily walking there. The greenway is 3.5 miles.

I had a good day. I finished some of my requirements in the morning. For lunch we went to Olive Garden because it was my Dad's birthday and it is my favorite restaurant "yum". I went to code ninjas after that. I finished the rest of my requirements and did some extra of some things to. After dinner I finished my sparing rounds then I went to my bed. I am going to bed now.

Today was another fun family day at Bank of America Stadium watching the Belk Bowl (USC and UVA)… we got killed by UVA because our team was not playing well at all. It was a blow out of 28 to 0. Ridiculous. Enough about that. I think the thing that most impressed me was the people. Just great people here in the south. Nate and I went to the Men's room during half time. Nate went into a stall to use the bathroom, and had left his USC sweatshirt in the stall. We went all the way back to our seats before he realized he left it. We rushed back to the bathroom, and there it was hanging on the door for us to get back. No one took it. I was very impressed and thought out people in general. Although there are many people that do bad things in this...

Woke up got ready for the football game. Are team lost. Came home ran did exercises. Ate dinner, now writing this. 

Today my family and I went to go see the Aquaman movie. It really wasn't too good. The think that bothered me was that it was almost identical to the Barbie Mermaid Tail movies. Water person and human fall in love, have a kid, the mom goes back to the ocean, kid grows up and gets powers, they have to go an a quest to find these magical items to overthrow evil family member, they succeeds, and the mom comes back. It was a long movie too.

I woke up early today, well, early for me at least. My cousins and I went to Top Golf at 9am, and I wasn't that bad. I wasn't great. But I wasn't horrendous. Ever since my family has been over, it's been hard for me to have a consistent schedule with my requirements, but I'm still trying to do a few of each everyday.

Today I woke up and took a shower, next I did my requirements.  After that I went to my grandparents house and went on a run.  Now im doing whatever.

I timed my mile today, and let me tell you, that for me, I felt disappointed. I ran a 7:19 mile and ever since the summer my mile has just gotten slower. I need to start taking more chances to go on runs so I can get my mile back up to at least a 6:30.

So today was another regular day, as usual I went to gym and did the physical requirements. And an essay!

Today I went to the gym and did my physical requirements again. Then at 6pm I went skating with my siblings and I fell a few times.

It is Friday... good morning... got up and moving. Got Nate to Basketball camp and ran some errands. Then I went and got my Sleep Study equipment. Dentist wants me to do a sleep study to see if I have Sleep-Apna. Not sure but wanted me tested as I grid my teeth and it could be a symptom. It is not healthy if I do and it could improve my sleep. We will see. Got the equipment and will run the test this weekend. Good times. Keep moving!!

Well, the new school is officially painted. We did a color called bees wax, which is a earth tone yellow. I think I can live with that color for the remaining years of my life. Well, maybe. I got to tear a whole in the wall and put in a door. Fun and challenging at the same time. Super tired tonight. Wasn't sure if I was going to pull off any requirements. Thanks to a little hot tub time, I felt good enough to knock some out. Got Spectrum coming in again tomorrow morning, so hopefully we'll get internet and phone up. I tired so this is gong to be a short one. Be good, and always wear clean underwear.

Yesterday was a good day. I finished my requirements during the day. Then my dad said that i did not finish my jump ropes and sparring rounds. So i started on those post dinner and was exhausted after i finished it. We have only a few more days and then school re-opens. 

Hey all, what a beautiful day. Wish I could have been more outside, but Master Knight and I made some nice progress on the new school today. It's almost done being painted, we are getting some electrical work done, and decided to make a door way. Demo time! Got the quote back from Ritelite signs and we are in budget. Got home and finished changing the oil in Katherine's car, now that I have the correct oil filter. Outside of getting a run in, I found some time to do my requirements. Got to hit the hot tub and hopefully zone out in front of the tv for a little while. I'm sure the wife will be watching Hallmark (there goes my man card). Sleep will feel good tonight. I'll leave you with one of my favorite movie quotes from Heartbreak Ridge, "Kick me, beat me, spit on me, just don't...

today had a relaxing day with my family! It was raining outside so we didn't play outside. But I built a lego set and we played ping pong. Finally we had linguine and clam sauce for dinner.

Today was EPIC we held a grand ping pong ball tournament in our grandparents basement were we were originally undefeated but when the second round came in we dominated. The rest of the day I spent building a lego set I got for Christmas and playing with my little brother.

Its a rainy day in Vermont. Sara has flown our to come home to work. The kids and I will stay and try and ski for one last day tomorrow before our epic 14 hr drive home. I think we will try and do it in one day with a possible overnight along the way. It has been a good day. We are in the middle of a ping pong tournament.

Today was a busy day. We started the morning off with a 2 mile walk. Then when we came home we went straight to Michaels to get a marker holder for me and one of my sisters, and a pencil case for the other. Then we went to Target to get my dad something for his birthday and $50 later on things that we most likely don't need, we went to lunch. As we were coming home we were in traffic for almost an hour. That was ridiculous. When we went home I then started working on my essays and finished three of them. Now I just need to clean off my desk.

It was a very good day. Got to sleep in today. Not usual for me, so excited about that. I got up and got Nate up and moving. He had Basketball camp today. Dropped him off and then started to put away all our holiday decorations. We really do the house up so much to put away. Took several hours. Trish got Nate from camp and then we had lunch. Finished up packing and then did our exercises. We were both really energized for them. Got a bunch done and then we took some time out. I made dinner and everyone ate. Just finished cleaning up from dinner and ready to have a little down time with Nater. Need to rest the mind and body for a little bit, then back at it again tomorrow. Keep moving!!! Take care.

I had a good day. I got up right out of bad when I woke up because my cousin was leaving today to go back to Philadelphia. I still had fun. I did a lot of my requirements in the morning and I did some extra in the evening. I just found out in the evening that I was going to have a play date tomorrow. I am excited for that. I am going to bed now.

Today I woke up and ate some food, next I took a shower and played some video games.  After that I went to my grandparents house and ran and did requirements.

Woke up went to basketball. Came home ate lunch. Worked out. Now writing this. Not very busy so bye. 

The day is here, let there be cheer, and stay away of cousin Eddie's beer. Enough poetry, Today was fun. Open presents, talked to family, sent pictures, and painted the rest of the new school. Got home, and remembered I needed to change Katherine's car oil. Got it up on the lift, took the skid plate off, drained the oil, removed the filter, and quickly realized the auto parts store sold me the wrong filter. Well isn't that special. So tomorrow I'll have to get a new filter. So knocked out some requirements and as I am journalling, Trent decided to play with his new key board. It's always amazing how tone death kids can be when starting a new instrument. I do have to give him some credit though, he is musically gifted. Didn't get that from me. I'm the guy who receives all the "Bless his heart" looks at...

Yesterday was an overall great day. I went out for shopping. Got a pair of boots for myself. My brother also got some shoe for himself. Then we went to Olive Garden for dinner. I did a mile run yesterday before we went out and finished my requirements as well. Today my focus is to finish off all my requirements in the morning. I need to get through my book reading as well.

As I have mentioned previously, I got a bunch of books for Christmas. One of those books was "The 100", it's a series. Even though I only got it yesterday, I'm already on book 2. I spent almost the whole day reading, did my requirements, and then went bowling. I was terrible at it.

I had a good day. I played MONOPOLY with my cousin we played from 9:00 to 12:44! After lunch I watched my normal watching time. We went out to eat. Then when we got home we watched a cricket match before going to bed. I got my requirement goals completed for the day. I am going to bed now.

Yesterday was Christmas. Me and my family had a great time we got a lot of things. The biggest thing I got was a Xbox. Then we set it up and started playing. After that we wauchted MBA Basketball game. And that was my Christmas day. 

Today I woke up and ate, next I played some video games with Jason Gould who is also on this cycle.  Throughout the day I did requirements and ran.  I then went to chick filet and got a chicken sandwhich.

I didn't do much today. I went for a walk/run with my mom and sisters, did my requirements, went to Five Guys for lunch, and cleaned out my closet. I looked through every journal and art book from when I was younger and it made me happy and sad to see them. It was hard getting rid of things because I loved them when I was younger. But I don't need them anymore, so it was time for me to let them go.

Today I went to the gym and did my physical requirements. Then my oldest brother Matthew got us a Nintendo Switch! 

I cannot believe Christmas has past already... this year flew by... we are already pulling out decorations down and getting ready for New Years... crazy. Nate and I got our run in this morning, and finished our daily exercises. We got some extra in today. Good day. Now onto more house cleaning and getting life back to normal. Great time yesterday with Family, and enjoyed a little down time. Ready to move and rock. Good luck to all fellow candidates... keep moving! See you next week.

Hello Everyone. Hope you all are having a good time. I woke up late today as well. I have been working on my requirements. I am super excited for today. My mom's uncle is taking us for shopping. I have a list of things i want to buy. Hopefully, we will go out for dinner at some resturant as well today

I had a great day. My mom went to Panera bread to get us all bagels. She was going to get Cinnamon flavored bagels but they were out so she got 2 chocolate muffins and 1 of every other muffin. After we ate I played MONOPOLY with my cousin, we had fun. After eating lunch I watched my normal watching time. I did my pull-ups for he first time! It was very hard, but I pushed through and did them. After dinner we played some more MONOPOLY and now I am going to bed.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas Eve!   Today was pretty eventful. Signed up for this personal workout schedule with some friends, where we workout twice a day for a minimum of 2 and a half hours. Woke up early this morning and completed 3.5 miles of running. I realized after 3 cycles that running at a zero incline doesn't really benefit me physically. Granted it helps me increase my stamina, but I also want to see actual growth. Today at the gym, I began increasing the incline on the treadmill and also increased the speed. Can honestly say that I can't feel my legs at all! But, I'm confident that by the end of the cycle, there will be some physical progress. Also knocked out half of my physical requirements and then went for a second workout at 6pm to complete the rest. For the new year, I want to...

My day is going great I am writing this at 8:22 AM so I'm a bit tired but yesterday was great wI got so many great things and even body was their. We ate bacon for breakfast and ham for night. My brother got an Iron man arm which he programed to make a firing sound and lights up he is upset with it. The rest of the day was swell. So far today I have played with my little brother and his Iron man arm.

today we went sledding because it snowed! we also played with our christmass presents! and finally we ate a delirious dinner of harrington ham!

Good Morning. We had a great Christmas, my parents came to Vermont, where my in laws live. Present opening went well. Then in the afternoon we all went for a walk. In the evening we had a nice quiet meal followed by family games.

Merry Christmas Everyone! I spent all day reading because that’s what I got for Christmas! I got a lot of books, and I’m extremely happy about it! Some people might call me a nerd but I honestly love reading, it just takes me to another place. Although it was hard to make room for my requirements, I still found a period of time to do them.

Even though I didn't have enough time to do all of my requirements, today was a great day. At church, Connor (my oldest son), stood in front of the church and told the congregation why he wanted to be baptized. They then went to the pool and he was. Afterwards we drove to Sanford, to my wife's family, and celebrated Christmas with them, then we had a birthday party for her grandma. Sweetest lady to ever live. I think she is 90 something. Drove back, and middle of the night, and I'm knocking out some push up and sit ups and talking with you all. Tomorrow is promised to no one.  Useless trivia: On December 23, 1690 English astronomer John Flamsteed observes Uranus without realizing it's undiscovered. Curious, I wonder why he named it Uranus? Sounds like something that would happen in a bar with all your drunk buddies around as they...

I had a great day. I played MONOPOLY with my cousin in the morning. I also did 50 push-ups and 50 sit-ups in the morning. I watched my normal watching time after that. I did 50 push-ups and 50 sit-ups before going to shop. After we came back I did another 50 push-ups and 50 sit-ups and 15 burpees before eating dinner.
