Candidate Journals

Had a good workout this morning. Going to bump up to old fashioned "two a days" 2-3 times a week to see if I can boost my stamina and get in the extra time I need for self defenses, etc. Pulled out of the running for a job in the Boston area today. Too much going on and certainly do not want to move farther north.  About to start my afternoon workout which should be physically easy.....going to start learning new self defense techniques.

I w

Today I lot of people were asking them to go to the dance with them. No one asked me. I am not sad.

I did my requirements when I came back from school. I went to Tae Kwon Do after. I got my leadership 1&2 and a mentor session in. Thats all! Have a terrific Tuesday!

Yesterday was a very upbeat day for me. I finished all my requirements in the morning except my poomsaes and self-defense so I could practice with my sister on her poomsaes. Then, I kicked backed and relaxed as I watched the pro-bowl, which was amazing. I soon remembered I had homework so I had to finish that up at the end of the day and I had to work with my sister on her poomsaes. Once this crazy day ended, I was pretty tired and wasn't ready for school to start again. I am looking forward to next Saturday and Sunday!!!

Getting back to the daily routine and adding to my workout.  Keeping clean eating a top priority.

Well, today was not very exciting. It was a normal Monday for me. No bear attacks or UFOs I witnessed today. I woke up early- did some of my requirements, went to school, came back did homework- did some requirements, went to my volunteer shift, came back home- did more homework, and then finished up requirements. That was a very basic rundown of a normal Monday for me. It was just a plain old Monday, ice cream with no flavor. 

Start of a new beginning today and I was right, I was very exhausted throughout the day. I think its because I am now anemic. I found out I was anemic when I was in the hospital. my iron levels are usually high but recently they have been really low causing me to become anemic. its been a rough change and its hard to get used to being so exhausted all the time. Anyways, today was very long as usual. went to work then school then work again. I am going to get some rest to do it all over again tomorrow, yay.

Well this last week gives meaning to two sayings, one of which is "Man proposes and God disposes", and "Life comes at you fast".  My youngest daughter got pretty sick and was hospitalized for two days, starting Tuesday mid day and discharged from the hospital Thursday mid day, bringing everything to a halt but taking care of her for almost 3 days (including work).  Thank God she is out of the hospital and feeling better (still a little depleted of energy, but getting better everyday).  Getting back to the routine is number one priority.  Good thing that we had some pre-cycle days that come in handy when unplanned situations happen.  

Today I went to school. I had to practice my Chinese Dance. My teacher said that I was really good but I don’t know. 

Yesterday was an extremely tiring day for me as I did my 3.5 mile run / 5K . It hurt very much when I ran but I went through without stopping and got 29 minutes and 12 seconds. Looking on the fast time I got, I might have ran slower if I could do it again because I need to beat my time for the written / physical test. Before the run, I took sparring where we did mostly stretches and kicks. I got in a lot of good roundhouse and stretch kicks throughout sparring. Once sparring ended and I  finished my run, I took Black Belt class where we did staff and stick forms throughout the beginning of class and then closer to the end of class, we did poomsaes. At the very end, we played Tae-Kwon-Do jeopardy where the team I was playing on won. I then came home...

I go from my body aching to my wife giving me the flu.  Well this is the way things are sometimes.  I will be glad when I can get back 

This morning I went to church. When I came back, I was free for the whole day, I didn't go anywhere else. So I got a lot of my requirements done. I feel like the weekend goes by so fast and the weekdays goes by so slow. That was my day, not much interesting stuff happened. 

I started my day with some push ups and sit ups. Then I watched some TV while my dad made breakfast (pancakes, sausage, and bacon). We ate, and then cleaned up my Lego room. Then we worked on one of my essays (hero 1). We worked on more exercises, then I did some school work. We hung out some more and then finished our exercises. The finished my school work and then I had Basketball at Dream Big. Then we went to grocery store in the pouring rain. Came home, and had dinner. Now I am just chilling out until bed time.

Today we were lazy. I got started on my requirements at 7 am and got them done early. Then we went to yoga and our friend Alex joined us. He really liked yoga and wants to come back next week. For dinner we had a pizza while we watched Supergirl.

Tomorrow i will go back to my normal schedule. I haven’t worked or went to school since last Monday. It was a rough week you could say. I could barely get through today. I got up late and did homework, went out for about two hours and was completely exhausted. Yet, tomorrow I’ll be up from 4am-8pm going to work then school then work again. I’m not sure how tomorrow will go but i am going to take it as easy as possible without wearing myself out. I miss the old me, when i could last a whole day and go workout and not me super exhausted. I guess that’s what i get for being in the hospital for two and a half days 

I went to Tae Kwon do this morning. I took sparring class and half way through sparring class we did our pretest running since we didn't do it last week because of the icey sidewalks. I had to run for an mile. When I was done I took my black belt class. When I came home, I was so tired a sore. I relaxed for a little bit, after I had more energy in myself I went straight to finishing my requirements because I started them at Tae Kwon Do. Other than that, that's all I did! Have a great day! 

My day is pretty much winding down. I went to church today, and came back at 2. Then I did my requirements and hung out with friends. I ended off the day watching a movie with my family. It was pretty much a normal Sunday, except for the fact that I didn't have to do any homework. Anyways, tomorrow is a Monday- which means back to school. 

today I got back from south Carolina. it was a lot of fun. I am so sad that we missed the rrunning. I was at a soccer tournament. I hope that I can make it up and I hope that it will be good. 

Today was a very chill day. I didn't do much. That's all. Goodnight. - Hannah

Today I just woke up. Because it is a Sunday I am not going any where today. 

Back home.  Good to sleep in own bed.  I have a few hours before heading back to Manhattan for a work dinner.  Headed to the gym after a nap to do forms, etc.  

Today I had to run. When I was running I had to do it alone. No other first poom was there. When I was running I could not feel my body it felt like I was not there. There were cars all over the place. They were loud. Yesterday the site was down so I could not get on to it. My mom and dad came back today. I have not yet seen my dad. I wonder where he is. 

Today my grandfather came up to spend the day with us. He went with us to a Harry Potter birthday party. There was lots of fun activities. We got to make slime. We also drank butterbeer and ate cake. They even had a magician who did a magic show for us. Before we went home I got to say hi to the guinea pigs. It was a fun day.

This morning we woke up and went to sparring. It is not always fun getting up early to get going but I never regret going once I am there. Black belt class was fun too with learning my stick form, now I just need to practice it over and over again. The afternoon was spent with Angel's dad and the kids. We went to a birthday party for one of Patrick's best friends. The kids had a really good time. Dinner was great with chili beans and corn bread.

This week has been really long with my mid-term tests and i am super exhausted. I decided to sleep in today and woke up at 7am instead of my daily routine of 5.30am. Felt amazing to get that extra hour of sleep. I went to Tae Kwon Do this morning for my sparring class. We did our pre-test run and Master Evins made all the 2nd to 3rd Dan's run 3.2 miles (5K). I ran at a steady pace and finished 3.2 miles in 29.12 minutes. My goal in the final test is to finish the 3.2 miles in 27 mins or so. I also finished all my requirements for the day in between classes and during the Black Belt class. I have the day today to finish some school assignments and relax. Hope everyone has a great day!!!

I  decided to take off a few days from a whole lot of anything .  My body needed a deserved rest and my mind is listening.  I can focus on ess

The reason I am writing this journal early, is because I won't be able to get on my computer to write my journal till the night. I am going out with friends pretty soon. Anyways. after Black Belt Class I didn't do much requirements. I ran 4 miles, after hitting my leg on door- which hurt. After BB class, I went to an activity and just came back. The day is not over just yet though. Great everyone on your run!

Today I had to run my pretest and it took me 40 minutes to run about 3.5 miles (give or take). I have a lot to improve on. That's all. Ciao! - Hannah

Today was a relaxed day. I had no school so I got to finish a lot of my requirements. However I did still have some homework to catch up on but not that much. I'm going to music class in a little bit and then my cousins are coming over after. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far!

Greetings from NYC.  Last night was our anniversary so I got my lift in early and went extra hard and heavy.  Needed to burn off some calories for the massive meal I knew was coming.  We were not disappointed.  Great evening now off to see a show today.  Training resumes tomorrow!

Today we stayed home from school for a teacher workday. I got started on my requirements early. Then we went to play bowling. It was fun. For dinner we went to The Melting Pot for my brothers early birthday dinner and my parents spent a lot of money. It was really good.

It was a pretty good week. Had a business trip to San Francisco, CA. Met with a client out there and had to provide a business proposal. It went well and we are moving forward. Good things. Had a great day today. Did the Kickboxing class with Master Marcus, and did Black Belt class as well. We worked on staff and sticks. Great way to end the day. We are ready for our official pre-test run tomorrow, since the sidewalks were still a mess last weekend. Looking forward to it. This weekend is about working on some essays and  exercises. Hope everyone enjoys some outside time. Should be nice this weekend.

So TFI Friday is not a misspelling according to my British coworker but a reference to a British TV show. I guess I will use that from now on even if I have never actually seen the show. I have been looking forward to the weekend because I am somewhat frustrated with work. At least we started the weekend well with a good family dinner at The Melting Pot as an early birthday dinner for Erik.

Today was a good day. It might have been because I had no stress about school and I got to sleep in till 8. Or it might have been....never mind- it was because I had no school. I was able to catch up on requirements and just relax from a long week. I played with a few of my friends for an hour and now about to go eat my dinner, with my family and cousins. Today was a good day, nonetheless, and sadly it is coming to an end.  

It was a good day and I got lots of stuff done. I worked on a project I have been wanting to get some progress on. I also managed to finish an essay. The evening was spent going to classes and watching a little TV.

So, if you all have read my last post, i was in the hospital since Tuesday January 23rd. I was finally discharged on Thursday January 25th. It was a long two and a half days in the hospital. It actually felt long. Sitting around and doing absolutely nothing but sleeping, getting blood drawn, eating, talking to all kinds of doctors and nurses. They finally pin pointed how to treat my infection and released me late Thursday morning. I was so relived. I had felt so much better that day, but not quite 100%. Around 3ish that day i had an episode that i was having the past couple days at the same time. Fever of 103, chills, and high heart rate. But today, i was waiting for 3pm to pass by to see if i was gonna have another episode. I was so relieved when it didn’t. It helps me know...

Today I met up with my mentor I learned staff form two. I retook my written test and got a 100. I was so happy when I heard It was amazing, but because I took my written test I did not get a leadership credit 1 or 2. I was really looking forward to that. Today me and my friends had our first big fight. It was hard to work with each other. We did not solve it. My mom and dad are in Ohio so, I have to stay with my grandma and grandpa. Today is a good day.

Today was a stressful day. I had 3 tests today. I didn't finish one of the tests so I have to finish it on Monday. Anyways, when I came back home I had no homework since we have no school tomorrow (teacher work day)! YAY! So I went right to doing my requirements and practicing my falls since I'm not really good at them! After, I went to Tae Kwon do and took black belt class and had a mentor session, practicing poomsaes and self defenses. That was my day. Good night!

Yesterday was a really, really long day. I didn't finish my requirements in the morning so I had to do all my requirements at the end of the day. School was extremely tiring as I got two very big mid-year exams which I am still working on. After a very tiring school day, I went to class and helped out the 6:45 family class where the students did poomsaes and self defense because It was black stripe week. Once I finished helping the family class I then took Black Belt class where we did the same thing as family class, poomsaes and self-defense. I really need to get into the details of my poomsaes so it can look better. Yesterday was a long and crazy day for me and I hope today (Friday) will be better!!! 

{The website keeps being mean to me. Posts are going to be a little more sporadic.} Today I had my orthodontist appointment and got to get out of school early! I also ran 2 miles and did a PMAA class.  That's all for now. Goodnight! - Hannah

     My American History teacher got another kitten! She said that when he gets his shots, she will bring him in. Not only will there be one cat running around the class, theres going to be two cats! I didn't have any core classes today because today was a clean-out day where we had to clean out our binders and lockers. I never knew that it could take so long to clean out binders. Today was great.

Yesterday was a normal day for me as I followed everything on my daily schedule ; Finishing School, Coming to Tae-Kwon-Do and going back back home. I couldn't finish all my requirements yesterday due to some pieces of homework but I finished all my poomsaes and self defense. Unfortunately, their is going to be no more crazy things that mess up my schedule at school so I have a long road ahead with no breaks in school. Even with this normal schedule, I am still going to take mid-year tests, which I've been hoping won't come. I Hope everyone has a wonderful Day!!!

Today I am going to try and get as many requirements in as possible.   It seems like my mind says yes and my body is saying I don't want to but perseverance!  

After a week full of tests, I have no school tomorrow. I am so glad, because I have no test to worry about tomorrow. Anyways, today was a good day. My test was in first block, so I got it over with. After the test, the day just winded down from there. Then I went to BB class and had a mentor session. 

I had a difficult time getting on the BB site today.  I'm here now so today began with my favorite breakfast of egg whites, beacon and anice mug of coffee.   I played pickleball and had a great time at King Tiger today.  I was even able to get some requirements done. 

Today i was supposed to work at 4:45am. I had to call out sick this morning, i was not feeling well at all today. I also ended up have to skip my morning college classes and went to the doctors. Shortly during my visit at the doctors i was sent to the ER for a kidney infection.  I’ve had one before but this one was by far the worst. I ended up with a high fever of 103.6 at one point but i am back down to normal temperature. I was not able to do any of my requirements due to not feeling well and all the different chords attached to me. It’s been a long and painful day but i will get better soon

Today was really good because we only had 4 days of school this week. Tomorrow is a teacher workday so we don't have to go to school. We had an early dinner tonight so I could go to meet my mentor early and do the make up for my pre-test. Then we had black belt class and came home. 

Yesterday was a great day and really warm. I didn't finish my requirements in the morning since I didn't have time but I finished my requirements at the end of the day. School was a breeze as we didn't do anything really hard or important. After I finished school, I went to help out the 6:45 class. I got in both Leadership 1 and 2 credits due to the fact that I led class. I then got in a session with my mentee right before Black Belt class. I took Black Belt class where we practiced mostly falls and rolls. I got in a good amount of rolls and falls throughout the class. Finally, I got a mentor session in where we practiced Staff Form 1,2 & 3. After this whole day was finished, I was extremely tired and soar when I came home. Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Today I had a good day. I got my first sparring class credit and I plan to go to sparring class on Saturday. I got my leadership one credit in.

After school, I did my homework and studied for a test that I have tomorrow. I then started doing my requirements. I also started the white belt challenge when I went to Tae kwon do. I came early so that I can do a mentee session with my mentee and I stayed late so that I can do a mentor session with my mentor. I’m gonna go back to studying for my test after I write this this journal. Goodnight! 

Today after school I had to go to a homework club at my school. During homework club we have to try and get our weekly homework finished earlier. I am going to homework club so I can get it done and not have to worry about it. This means I have more time to do requirements for black belt!

What difference a week make.  We go from snow twenties and thirty degree to an enjoyable sixty something.   It helps to begin the day in a happy mood.   I hope to get some requirements in.

I awaken late this morning thinking how I was going to get a bunch of requirements done.  I began very nicely but after a couple hours working out it seemed as though every muscle in my body started to ache.  So I will look to 

Today I had my guitar recital and I fell asleep in science class (but only for a little bit).  There wasn't much else that was exciting so I'll end this here. - Hannah

This whole week to me has been on a schedule- this is the exact time I wrote my journal yesterday. I had test every single day this week and would study after my what I had to do after school. Then I would write my journal towards the end of my day, when I am winding down to recharge myself- to do the same thing tomorrow. Today was just a normal day like the rest. I honestly can't wait till Friday- "when I become a human again."

Today I did my requirements and I got a mentor, mentee, leadership one credit and a weekday black belt credit in. I also finished my homework. 

Today I went to school. When I came home I ran 1.5 miles. Then my grandmother came to spend the evening with me and my brother so my parents could go out. She bought us chicken from Publix. We had a really good time.

So today was a regular day at work but I had to leave a little early so my wife and I could make it back into uptown for dinner. After a nice restaurant week dinner we went to see Phantom of the Opera. It was a really good show and I enjoyed it a lot.

Yesterday was a very tiring and chaotic day. I couldn't finish my requirements in the morning so I had to do them before and after classes (Tae-Kwon-Do). I had many tests in school and was very tired from the beginning. After school, I helped out the 5:25 class and led the warm-ups as well. The whole class was poomsaes, so I got in a few poomsaes with them. I also got in a mentor-mentee session in right before Hyper. In Hyper, we practiced mostly drop-kicks and reverse-tornadoes. It was a harsh day and I am hoping that today will be better!!! 

Today i had the best day ever. It was so much fun.  I got to help the new student. I got to play the piano at school  

I did my homework and studied for the test that I have tomorrow. After I studied for a little bit I started doing my requirements. I also started the white bel

It was very hard to wake up in the morning because I was slept in all the other days. Today at school it was a normal day for me- we have a lot of upcoming test and quizzes though. I came back from school and finished all my weeks homework then I went and started doing my requirements. That's basically it. Bye!

Since we had many snow days last week, i didn’t work or go to school much. Today, my schedule is back to normal. Getting up at 3:45am and getting ready for work, yes’m i work that early in the morning. I do that Monday-Friday. Trust me, it’s exhausting. After i get off work at 8am, i go home and get ready for my morning classes at CPCC. After i get out of classes i usually either go home or go to the library and knock out all th homework i need to do. After all that, at 2:30 i get ready to go work again until 6 or 7 and then take some kind of taekwondo class. I repeat that schedule everyday except Saturday and Sunday. On sundays i work 10-5 which isn’t too bad. I do have to say, i very much look forward to weekends. 

Feeling a lot better and almost back to normal.  Completed 90% or so of my written study materials last night.  Checking off small boxes each day!  Off for today's workout!

Exactly 2 hours till it becomes Tuesday. I still have to finish up studying for another test today; I am loaded with tests this week. I was able to do requirements, after coming home from school and in the morning. Then I had a volunteer shift for 2 hours and then started studying after coming back home. Pretty hectic Monday- in my opinion. 

I was selected to sing in the UNCC children's choir.  It was fun but also hardcore.  :-) ..Halalujeh!!!

Today I helped out with class. I got my first leadership 1. I walked 5.3 miles.

Yesterday was pretty warm and fun. I finished my requirements throughout the morning and helped my sister with some homework. I practiced my pooomsaes while watching myself in the mirror to see if my stances are good. Then, I watched the only football game available, the Patriots VS Jaguars. It was a really good game. After that, I met up with my gang (Taylor, Bailey, Camdon, Josh, Zach, Greg) and went for a run. I got a good run in with my best friends. I had some fun with them and then I went back home. My legs are very soar and I am hoping they will get better!!!

Snow days are over. The sun has taken- over. And we are back to normal. Back to waking up early tomorrow. Today was a busy day for me in the morning. I had places I had to go, then came back and did as much requirements as I could. Then I had a test I needed to study for, so my friends and I got into a study group. This week is very packed for me, in tests. I have a test every day this week. It going to be a bumpy train ride, for school. Anyways, I have to finish up studying and get some sleep.  

I basically had the whole day to myself except in the morning because I had to go somewhere. I came back at around 3:00, so when I came back I went straight to doing my requirements. Tomorrow we have to go to school, meaning I have to wake up early in the morning-Ughh! So I better go to sleep now-after I write this journal. Goodbye! 

Got up this morning and started the morning with a good breakfast with kids. Then Nate and I did some workout. We then started to clean up his Legos and Nerf stuff. Got the room back to normal, and then off to run. I spent the afternoon cleaning up the garage and getting some shelves installed. We took some breaks to do some exercises throughout the day. Nate then had Basketball at Huntersville Elementary with Dream Big, and he had a blast. Came home to find my daughter had started dinner which was a surprise. We had dinner and finished the evening with the last of our exercising. Then, the plan is some TV and off to bed. This will probably be the first full week these kids will have since the holidays. Crazy.

Got up play and then did some school work. Workout, cleaned my LEGO room, ran did more school work, and then went to basketball. Now I am righting this and soon I will go workout. 

{Sorry for not posting. I didn't have as much time as I thought I would have but I will be more diligent with this.} Today was a nice and peaceful day. It was also very warm outside, so that was very nice. Nothing really happened today, I just stayed at home for most of it. That's all. Goodnight! -Hannah  

So far I have not done any requirements. I have not done requirements because we were out all day. So far I had done 1.6 miles today and I plan to do more. 

today i watched the show deal or no deal. it was fun and i liked it.   

Antibiotics kicking in.  10 hours of sleep last night!!  I went to the gym after meditating and ran 4 miles on the treadmill in 40 minutes.  It was the limit of what I could do today but I made it.  It will be harder on pavement but this was a milestone. Will do shorter sprints this week to help with sparring.  I will go back in a few hours after the exercise rooms have cleared to work on forms.  I let this sickness and upcoming work schedule make me doubt and wobble a bit. I'm feeling better now.  Getting my mojo back.

Yesterday I took the pre-test and I passed. The written part of the pre-test was a breeze as I got almost everything right. We had no run due to the snow and harsh weather. I need to work on my pull-ups for my physical. Hope everyone has a great day!!!

So today we got the pretest over with. I was a little sad that we didn't get to go run, it would have been a good warm-up before doing all the other exercises. During the afternoon I went for a run with the boys and we got the time for Patrick's 1.5 mile run. Tomorrow I will do the timing for my own 1 mile run.

Today was our pretest. We did everything except the running because it was icey on the sidewalks so it was dangerous to run outside, other than that we did our poomsaes, self defenses, and our written test. I came back and did some of my requirements but not a lot since I was too sore so I took a little rest. Then I did the remaining of my requirements after. That’s all! Good night! 

My back is killing me. It hurts really bad. I think I might just need to get some sleep. After TKD today, I had music lessons and then went to mass. I was very busy today, but it really was just a normal Saturday, not including the pre-test. Great job everyone on the pre-test!

Today was the pre-test and the official beginning of the cycle.  Got to work in getting things down and sharp.  

today I did the written test it was hard. I got a really bad score and now I have to re take it but I am Shure I wont do bad next time 

Today I toke the written and physical test. I have to do the written test over but I will study harder next time.

Today will be a brain day.  Going to focus on the written test, anatomy test and maybe self-defenses.  I think my body needs an easy day.

Yesterday was a very relaxing day as I finished my requirements throughout the day. I also finished some more homework my teacher's assigned over the "break". I still have a few more which I am going to space out over Saturday and Sunday. It was getting warm so I went outside and played with the remaining snow. I hope everyone has a great day!!      

It was a good week. I never actually managed to go into the office. I really do like working from home. The kids school was on a 3 hour delay this morning. I guess they did that so they won't have to make up for one more day. I am still curious why they don't plan for extra days in case we have snow. Statistically speaking it is not unlikely that we will have 1 or 2 more good snowfalls that will shut down the city. Well enough about snow. Patrick and I ended up going to the Lake Norman school for a black belt class since we our own school was closed Wednesday and Thursday. It was my first visit up there but I am sure we will be back.

Pretty eventful day today. Had a work from home, so basically I did school work at home. I got a whole lot of assignments. Not even joking. I have 2 full essays due Sunday. I was pretty busy the whole day trying to finish up assignments. Anyways I got my requirements done and reviewed for the pre test tomorrow.  

Today was my e-learning day. It was a half day so I got out of school at 11:30am. After I was done with school I went straight to doing my requirements and studying for the pretest I have tomorrow, which I am really stressed about. In between doing my requirements and studying I had some breaks where I would just watch some of my favorite shows (Stranger Things). That's basically it. Have a good night!

Taking it easy today as tomorrow is the pre-test.  Want to be well rested and ready for tomorrow.

Today I finished the week off with an e-learning day. It was super boring and never seemed to end and then it was over and with it the school week. Then i went to black belt and i got lots of credits and ti was super fun. Then we went out to eat. Also was today like national birthday day everyone seemed to have a birthday on that one day. Enjoy the rest of your day byeeeeeee!

We added the credits for Kukkiwon to Thursday's tracking. We got to Greenville the day before Kukkiwon Cup and stayed at a hotel. We got up early, had breakfast and got there early. I stretched and practiced some Poomsaes and Breaking. When it was time to do Poomsaes I got bronze but the other competitors were better than I was. In breaking, I got first. In sparring, I also got gold, and I got first in my group. This made me able to compete in the Grand Competition. In the competition, I competed against a group of kids that were much more experienced and I lost. However, it was an awesome experience, and I was happy to compete. Cannot wait for the next one.

Day 2 of antibiotics.  Feeling a bit better but tired.  Workout this morning was better than yesterday so I am trying to remain positive.  Just keep chopping wood.

I had no school today and today was the end of the quarter. I stayed home today in my room I did my requirements.
