Finally, after the long weekend, we have SCHOOL! BAM BAM BAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM!!!!!!! WHY!? WHY CAN’T THE WEEKEND BE ANY LONGER!? Whatever. Let’s get to do point. I woke up at 6, did all the normal morning stuff that everyone does like brushing, taking a shower, eating breakfast, etc. Then I went to school. I first had P.E., then science, then social studies, then lunch, then recess, then ELA, then Pre-Math 1 and finally had Math Club after school. It was the first meeting this year. After that I came home and did my daily ritual and then did my school homework. After that I went to the Black Belt Class and then did a session with Master Cavazos. After that I came home, ate dinner and here I am now. I better go to sleep now. I have MAPS testing tomorrow. Good night.

Today at sparring we had certain challenges to do. One round was only front leg roundhouse, while one was back leg round, and one was turning sides. After all the challenge ones we just did normal rounds. While doing the challenge ones we did a line method where we all get in two lines like self-D. then after every round we would shift one to the left. In the end I got 7 rounds and got to spar some of my friends.

When I woke up I thought it was a Tuesday not a Wednesday because we had no school on Monday. Today we had to where a our dress uniform. Our dress is a white shirt, kaki pants, tie, and a blazer. Today overall was a pretty good day. Me and my friends had an intense game of uno in study hall. When i came back home is went to my brothers football practice. After that we went to Panera bread to eat dinner. Today was a good a day.

Today was a simple day. I did all my studies in the morning, then played Fortnite(my favorite game), then ate lunch, then went to the temple, then I came back and played with my friends, then did my daily ritual, then ate dinner and went to sleep. Done. I know it’s short but this really all that happened.

Today was different than any Sunday or weekend because this weekend was my BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!! For my BIRTHDAY we went to great wolf lodge and was fun. Today I also did my self defense with my dad and it was fun. I am ready for the school week and I hope everyone had a great weekend!

I'm smiling for a day off and Michael is smiling because he lost another tooth. Actually, we went to the orthodontist because is has just been hanging there for quite some time. The Dr was able to pull it out with his fingers. Michael thought it was kinda cool. Now we are debating whether or not the tooth fairy pays for pulled teeth and we are REALLY wondering what he does with all those teeth.   CREEPY!

Today was pretty good I got a 92 on my first biology test. I’ve been doing most of my requirements inside of my team sports class so I don’t have to do much when I get home.

So hard to get going again after a couple days off from school.  I had a quiz in Spanish so that was not fun to start the week. Other than that the day was ok but long.  Was hard to fit much in today between getting up at 6:15 and going to school, Cross Country practice and then to TKD.  I did not get home till about 8 o'clock and barely had time to eat, do some homework, a few items for TKD before it is time to go to bed. Hopefully I will find some time tomorrow to get more done for TKD BB cycle.

After i woke up at 6 i did my Tae Kwan Do exercise and then i finished at 6:45 and then went upstairs to get ready for school and then after i went to school i did all my periods and then went home. oh i forgot how to tell how i got home. Well on the way to school my parents pick my friends and drop us at the hub stop and then the school bus comes and it takes us all to the school. and on our way back we go in the bus and it takes us all the way back to the hub stop and then we go to my car and with my friends and we drop them at their house and i go back to my house. after i got back to my house i changed my dress and worked on my school homework and...

After i came home i went straight up stairs and then i changed my Tae Kwan do dress and then i ate dinner with my family and then watched some TV for 30 minutes and then we all went to sleep because all of us had to go to places everyday.

Today was very relaxing I didn't too much of anything!  I did drive out to the store, the most exciting thing I that happened.   I was glad to be back in class after our long weekend.  Trying to get some requirements done. 

Today was pretty much yesterday, I finished all my studies in the morning, then played Fortnite, then ate lunch, then went to play with my friends, then I came back and did my daily ritual, then I went to the temple for an event, then finally came back, ate dinner and slept. That’s it. It’s simple like yesterday. I guess weekends are short.

Today was the start of the 2nd week of school. As if the first week wasn't hard already, finding your classes and getting back into the swing of things. Today was not that hard, it was actually pretty fun. I took sparring as well. Todays sparring was like the others, but we also did drills. I personally liked the drills that we were doing, they were pretty cool. Well that is were I am going to finish for today. See you next time.

this week so far is going great because we only had 4 day not 5.  Last week we had a lot of quizzes and test, but the only thing this week is that we have a Spanish test that i think will be easy. Later today i went to my brothers soccer game which was cool. They lost 4-5. It was a close game. After that i came home band did some requirements. This is going to be a good week.

Tomorrow, I will be training to run 4 miles in 40 minutes. Historically, running is what I have struggled with along with pullups. However, my pullups are starting to look better. I'll see what my running is like tomorrow after black belt class.

A few days ago I got a Mario Bros game on my switch, it's the classic Mario Bros so I know some of it but I'm still not very good. For example I haven't even gotten past the first world, while there's 8 worlds. My parents used to play Mario a lot but with my button layout they haven't gone past 1-1 (world 1 level 1). I'm getting better and I think I'll get to world 2 soon. The last thing is that I don't know how to activate 2 players so that's unfortunate. 

Though today was Labor Day, it was a pretty normal day except that there was no school. I finished all my studies in the morning, then played Fortnite, then ate lunch, then went to play with my friends, then I came back and did my daily ritual, then did my school homework and finally ate dinner and slept. Pretty simple isn’t it. Yeah, I thought so too.

Ok, I'm halfway to the journals I'm supposed to do, so yay me... i really don't feel like cheering. There's a bunch of stuff going on, my world is a spinning whirlwind, and I'm waiting for everything to cool down. I am going to India in December to meet all my relatives and have a birthday bash (my birthday's on the 22nd, 3 days before Christmas). I'm probably also going to have a party right here with all my friends, too. I also was invited to two parties. One a Halloween party at my friend, walgreen's, house (obviously not her real name, and I just put walgreen so i wouldn't get sued...) Moving on. I just went to black belt class, and I have to finish my algebra homework and my art assignment... OH MY GOSH MY ART ASSIGNMENT. I just remembered I have so much to do. I am wearing...

Today was a good day, school was good, i didn't have any homework to do so i was able to get some extra things done. Black belt class was good we went over hapkido forms and self defense. 

Finally, I am done with all of my papers.  It took me all night. I got very little sleep. Today I had to turn in a bunch of paperwork at school. And then I made to pick up more paperwork. It has been a pain but I will get through it. 

Plans change. A lot for me. Like when I said I was going to journal? I had to take a tutoring class and then I went to get my hair cut. I cut 8 inches off and I am donating to Pantene for a little kid to have my beautiful, raven hair. (lucky kid). But enough about my amazing hair. How was everyone's Labor Day weekend? I hope it was fun. It was nice to wake up on Monday and NOT have to go to school. Welp, i have to go now! Oh, I just remembered this, I read this somewhere 2 or 3 years ago: When I'm going to die, these are going to be my last words: I hid a million dollars under the- *dies* It's fun to use asterisks to emphasize something.  For those of you who aren't asterisk people: *asterisk* *asterisk* *asterisk* :)  -Ritika   

today was a great day because we had no school.so played video games a lot and played out side a litte.at night I watch harry potter and then my mom made me go to bed.

Today when I go up I thought that I over slept for school and started getting parinod. After about thirty minutes I checked the calender, and remembered I didn't have school today. After that I did my requirements. After that I went back to doing my papers I got done with most of them but I still have some to do for school. Well got to go bye. Hey did any one get the Finding nemo reference. 9/3/18

Oh by the way, last night was awesome seeing the Lion King.    Today is the day I start back volunteering at my church in the children's ministry.  I love doing this and I got a new age group this year.  Last year I did the toddler room and that was a lot of fun.  This year I am helping in the preschool room and while it was busy this morning it was good to be back.  I get a lot of joy being with the kids.  I also worked hard on my tae kwon do activities because I am trying to help make up for not being able to do quite as much last week because of school. 

This weekend was AMAZING! I went to my friend's house on Saturday because she was throwing a lake party. All of my friends were there and we went on the jetskis and boats. My boyfriend also came and we had a blast! I slept over and ended up coming home today. The same people came over today again too. Gavin, Joe and I went out on the jetski and I drove for a little bit. Gavin is a really fun driver. He would drive over a boat's wake and we got so much air. My legs are really sore though from bracing myself. 

Today was kind of on the stressful side because for the mandatory trip my high school is going on this week, they decided to make a change in the dress code only last Thursday concerning the length of the shorts that we can wear. Before it just had to be modest, but now shorts have to be mid-thigh length. Yes, I know this is kinda random, but the change feels arbitrary since what it was before was just fine, and my dad and I spent a good portion of the day trying to find shorts that fit this new dress code, and none of the stores sold anything that fit it since the shorts also can't have any rips or tears in them of any kind. Today I also got a lot of work done on essays; now I only have to do the white belt challenge, community service, and new...

Today was a good day to do some extra requirements. I finished my requirements early in the day, so I decided to do more as the day passed. I am making progress in the amount of burpees and pullups I can do at once, but I still need to continue training. I ought to continue doing cycle requirements after the cycle so that I don't regress again. 

Tomorrow morning I leave for a school trip and won't be back until Friday afternoon, so this morning I did laundry, cleaned my room, and packed. There is no cell service or internet at camp, so I will not be able to log anything on the website until I get  back.

Today was pretty relaxing aside from doing my requirements.  I just hung out with my family and finished up my homework so I’m ready to goto school tomorrow.

Today when I woke up, I went to go run so I can go when it it not hot. Then when I got back, I put up my training video and finished the rest of my requirements. Then we started to do a little bit of cleaning around the yard and in the garage. After we finished that, we changed to go to the pool. This will probably be our last day to go to the pool because this upcoming weekend, is pretty full, so I won't have that much time to go. 

I don't have much time to write later so I'm doing it now. I woke up and did my requirments. After that I took a nap and forgot I had a few papers to do today. Now I'm a bit short on time. Hey got to go bye.

yesterday night I went to my friends house for a sleepover. there were three of my friends. we all had a great time. we played video games and we played outside. for dinner we had pizza and for breakfast we had waffles. at night we watched a scary movie called the conjuring 2. it was scary, but it was also good. the sad part is when we had to go back home. I am happy we don't have school today.

Today I got up and ran 4.4 miles. Then I came back, ate breakfast, cleaned up my room, took a shower, and started working on homework. After eating lunch, my parents and I went to Wal-Mart to find some bed sheets and blankets for my new bed. Unfortunately, we didn’t decide on anything, but that’s ok. When we came back, I started on homework again. I took a break after a couple of hours to get my requirements in. I’m really glad that I still have one day in the weekend because I have so much homework!

this past weekend we had guests in our house. they are our really close friends. they live in Atlanta, Georgia. they came to North Carolina because they have to go to a weeding in Raleigh. they came on Thursday night and left yesterday afternoon. they are going to come back on Monday after their wedding. when they were here we had a lot of fun. they are a family with a 8 year old girl and a 5 year old boy. they are really nice people.

Today I came back from my grandmas house. When I got home I played with my dog Nimbus and jumped on the trampoline in the rain. I also workedn on my black belt requirements. I am glad there is no school tomorrow.

Still having sign in probs. Maybe I can parlay this into a new computer. Had family over for dinner. I love grilling. Baby back ribs, corn on the cob, country style baked beans and coleslaw. I ate WAY TOO much but it was so good. The boys seem to be enjoying school so far.

Today was pretty boring I just did my requirements in the morning. I still worked on homework even though it’s a long weekend I still have tons of homework 

I did speech for my empathy training last week. It got me to appreciate those who don't have or lost that sense. That being said I decided to spend a few hours without sight. Wow. Given the choice I would rather have my sight. Of course I was able to get by but BORING and can't drive. I didn't dare try cooking. It may be our most important sense.

I hit the 9 month mark on the 1st. Seems so close and so far. My body is having a down day today. I feel very tired but pressing on with the BB. Worked on Poomsaes and self defense with the boys in the home Dojang. I couldn't get Katherine to join us but she is busy taking some courses.

Today I woke up and did mainly push-ups and sit-ups. I did this because we don't do as many of those as we do poomsaes, self-defense, and basic kicks. Then when I finished, we ate breakfast and got ready to go to Carowinds. This is the last time that we will go to the water park this year, so we made sure to do as much as possible. We go Fast Passes so we got to skip some of the lines, which helped so that we didn't have to stand in all of the long lines. 

Today is great we have a three day weekend and I got to watch a movie. Also I got to go to sports connection but it was pretty boring. I need to go eat so Bye.

Yesterday at my house there were guests. They are our really close friends. They came on Friday and they left o9n Saturday.all we did with them is han

Finally back to my normal wakeup.   I had late breakfast and then to my surprise an all day visit with my Greatgrand  daughter! I didn't do too much of anything else today!  Not even any requirements. 

I actually forgot what day of the week it was because all the days seem to be the same. It has been hard this week getting back in the routine for school.  Get up early, go to school, head to the Tae Kwon Do, get home, eat, do homework and it is bed time again. Looking forward to the long weekend.

Okay so today I’ve got a lot of work to do. Mainly in regards to homework I have a lot of paper work a few essays for school, and Tae Kwon do. So my mornings been hectic. Hey got to go bye.  Hey did any one get the movie reference in the title? 9/1/18

Other than it is Saturday today has been a great day.  Got up this morning and did some TKD work, went and had breakfast at Maple Street Biscuit, completed some more TKD items including some essays.  But the most exciting part of the day is that I am heading to eat a nice dinner in charlotte and going to see Lion King in theater.  I am a huge Disney person and I am so excited to be going.

So, I didn't have a chance to journal yesterday, so I'm just going to recap yesterday and journal later today to recap today. Yesterday I went to school, celebrated my friend's birthday at lunch, went home, did my requirements, cleaned a little, did my homework, and went to bed at 10:00. So, that's pretty much it. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend! I can't think of a clever ending line... -Ritika

Today I helped my dad with housework, so I barely had time (except in the afternoon) to do my requirements. I forgot to run today, so I'll run extra tomorrow morning. 

Today was pretty relaxed. I got my requirements done and worked on essays. Due to there not being class, I was able to sleep in on a Saturday for the first time in months, which I really needed after the busy week of school that I had. Other than that nothing particularly interesting happened.

Finally I was able to sleep in for one day cause I was really sick of waking up early for school. Although its going to be a long weekend I still have a lot of homework to do. 

Took kids out to enjoy the mall.  Enjoyed family time afterwards.

Today the North Charlotte Location was closed for Labor Day so I couldn't go to black belt or sparring class. This coming week, I only have one match, which helps, because then I can go to black belt class and get some of my other requirements done. Today was not really eventful, but I did get to relax a little bit. Tomorrow I am going to put up my training video. Testing is getting closer everyday, but I am pushing through. 

Today will be my last morning having to get out of bed so early.   I'll break out into a happy dance!  I am so grateful for the credits received from Grandmaster Evins ,for the two Saturdays, on assisting and 5k.  Once again sir a big thanks for Dr Schuster!  Time to do some requirements now!!

Today my carpool didn’t come with us in afternoon carpool and it was his parent’s turn so I didn’t know when his mom was coming. His mom had to go through the middle school carpool line and then could come to our carpool because the middle school kids are not supposed to walk over. By the time she came and go us, it was 3:45 and our school gets out at 2:45, that’s and entire hour! luckily I am only in carpool on Friday’s because of tennis.

Today at school there was a fire drill it wasn't to big of a deal, but with how slow everyone moved I though that if it was real we would all....not have a fun day. Another evetful thing that happened today was I did my empathy training. I went with out an arm. Its been years sence I couldn't you one of my arms, and I started to get parinod about it. I tryed to do some pull ups but that end misurably. Well I had an eventful day how was yours?   8/31/18

I'm getting this done right before we leave to go to my grand parents. It's only me and my mom since my dad has to work and my brother has a friends birthday party on Saturday. Since they have to stay home I'm kind of bummed out and am reluctant on going. However my parents are both saying I'll have fun. My uncle is there as well so that's a plus. I'll get back to you later and tell you how the trip went.

today was a very awesome day because I went to school and my teacher let us draw pictures.after recess I went to my math class and had lots of fun.then I went to tae kwon do and helped class and did class.

Even though I had a lot of things due today, it was actually a pretty calm day. This is in part because we will be gone on a mandatory trip from this coming Tuesday and we get back on Friday afternoon. It felt really weird to not have a lot of book to bring home for homework. With there being no class tomorrow due to it being Labor Day weekend, I am kind of excited to be able to sleep in on a Saturday for the first time in months, especially after the long day I had yesterday.

On Friday my family is going to my grandparents house at lake Gaston. I didn't know until yesterday that we were going. However my brother is getting cold feet and not wanting to go. That makes me upset since he takes my on jet ski rides and this will be the last time we get to swim there for the year. My mom wants us to decide soon so they can invite other people. I can't decide if I want to go or not since I like seeing my grandmother but I want to just hang out at home and with my friends.

On Mondays, I have the second smallest amount of classes, beaten only by Fridays. I also do not go to King Tiger on Mondays. Because of this, I am capable of doing a large amount of homework and studying on Mondays. The cycle is not the only important thing I am doing, and I'll need to balance doing work for both.

I went to school this morning, like always. After school, my friend and I went to my boyfriend's soccer game. They called it because it started lightning. He came back to my house with us both. Before that, we got dinner at Panda Express, which I love. Tomorrow, I'm going to my friend's lake party, from 2 to 6. It's just a few people from school coming for Memorial Weekend. I'm so excited. 

Today was my second day of school and it was pretty boring all we did was go over rules and do introduce me papers. The best part was playing basketball at recess and beating the undefeated team that was only the tall kids were on. It was so unfair actually, since there all at least 4-5 inches taller than the tallest kid on our team. But since I got a rebound they didn't expect I passed and a kid on our team made the shot. And that had taken about 7 minutes, so right after they go off they went "OK, you got five minutes of your both off," and everyone on the court basically yelled no at the same time them we all told the that the other game had taken like 8 minutes. So decide if they couldn't keep track of time or if they just wanted to play...

Finally its the weekend although I still have a ton of homework to do. I've missed some journals this week because I was focused on starting in school,. 

Ok, so I love art and all, but my art teacher is starting to make art kind of stressful for me. During class we have to work on big projects, and outside of class we have to work on sketchbook assignments, which is fine, but each week we are given a list of 5 topics that we have to sketch and we pick 4 of them to draw. My teacher then collects our sketchbooks every 2 weeks; my art teacher is expecting both quality and quantity from these sketches as they are supposed to be good quality, have accurate perspective/lighting, must fill the page, and must appear to have taken 40min or more to complete. Everyone in my art class has been working really hard on these to make them look good, and here we are stressed because there are just too many assignments due in such a short amount of...

Fourth day of school and it's getting stressful already. I have to sort out a major change in my schedule, and I have two tests tomorrow. Well, one is a vocab quiz, but the other is a unit test for the material from the summer project for AP US History. Luckily, I have Labor Day Weekend to catch up on anything and everything I'm missing, so that's good. I'm trying my best, and school hasn't overwhelmed me yet, so I'm still afloat. Working on my requirements, knocking them out of the way, and this time, I'm not going to let them get in the way of school...

My friend's birthday is tomorrow, if you want, say happy birthday in the comments so she can see that people that she doesn't know still know about her birthday!! I should have worded that differently. It sounds really creepy. Today was good. I went to school, robotics, and tae kwon do.  Looking forward to tomorrow. I sort of have a mental checklist right now of things I need to do. I've never had that before. It's a nice new update to my brain. So, ending on the topic of birthdays, one time at Carowinds, the ride operator's birthday was that day. So he announced over the intercom for the ride "Ok, its my birthday, have fun! skrt skrt!" That's kind of the sound he made, it's the best I can make it on paper.  FELIZ NAVIDAD- oh, i mean cumpleanos to everyone, even if it's not your birthday. Eat cake anyway....

At shcool I started to notice that the main stairs got to crowded. At lunch I was thinking about it as I tried to find a quite corner to be alone. I decided to go to the calmest corner behind a teacher next to a door. The teacher was new and told me about some stairs he used to get to his room on the second floor before the main hallway fluded. When I tried to see if it was true I checked my map and a stairwell was right next to my next two block. I got to them quicker and I'm thankful for it. After school I went to tae kwon do. Well bye.   8/30/18

Just not my day today.  CNC machine went down before ending work shift.  Struggling to find new mentee.  First denial in a long time.  Yes I was late.  But wow it just was shocking.  Debating now if my investment is even worth it anymore.  Is it even worth all my sacrifices.  Idk.  Maybe maybe not.  

Today we won our last game of the week. During my doubles match, we kept going to Deuce which means that we would win one point, and the other team would win the other. I’m sad that I couldn’t go to Black Belt, but I am still keeping up with the cycle. 

I had a very good breakfast this morning,  whole wheat English muffin,  eggs and sausage along with a mug of coffee.   This early morning continues to haunt me,  difficult to think.  I will push myself to get some requirements in today!  My shoulder continues to strengthen having better movements and more power.  

The pretest took place today during black belt class. I did well in some areas; namely pushups and situps. However, I need to work on my v-situps and burpees. I need to be able to do more of them in a shorter period of time. Thankfully, I now know that I need to work on these two things.

Today was very busy. I went to school and had to go straight to tae keon do. I then went to soccer and got home. It took me 20 minutes to do my homework which is about 2 hours less than normally (just  kidding) but now I am super tired so I am going to bed.

I got plenty of sleep last night, but I was still exhausted walking into school this morning. This year, our school is having a homecoming dance. The previous years, it was only a homecoming game, which I will be cheering at. My friends and I are thinking about going, but only if my boyfriend is okay with us all going together. I have never gone to a school dance. I was never the type of person to do that, but it's supposed to be at a really fancy place, so I might go this once. 

today was a fun day we played basketball in study hall. We played knockout which was really fun i got second. I had a history test which was really easy and a math test which was ok. After school my brother had a soccer game and his team won. After some more time i went to king tiger. We played jeopardy and i took sparring which is always fun.; today wasa fun day.

Today I assisted and attended in the 5:30 class and it was fun. This jeopardy was different because we had to noodle fight to answer the question, it was fun. I’m about to go run right now. I hope everyone had th best day ever!!!!

 OK today at sparring my brother had a problem. So when he was sparring someone, he continued to keep kicking to the head. My brother at the end of the match had a headache after. My brother is under 10 and is not allowed to get kicked in the head. Also how many times he got kicked was a lot. It was like 5 times, I can not remember. Either way I feel that if you know that the other person is not as good as you then you should take it at least a little easy. I really do not have words. As a black belt I should of stopped the fight but I was too caught up to see what was going on. Even if it wasn't my brother if it was another kid I should be aware and make sure that every is sparring safely. See you tomorrow.

today was a pretty good. All my classes went well.i had to call my mom because i forgot my lunch at home. My mom was kind of mad.  Closer to they end of the day me and my friends played uno at study hall. It was not a normal game of uno, our uno game we got so pumped up. Whenever someone put down a card, everyone stared to scream. It was amazing. A few teachers got mad at us, but that didn’t stop us. Later today i went to my brothers football practice. Then after that we went too dinner.

Waited at the bus stop with the boys for 1 hour and 5 minutes. Decided I should probably drive them when middle schooler's, who leave 1 hour later, arrived. Hope they tighten up soon.   Got a lot of BB physical requirements in today. Tried to get ahead of the game on my days off so that I might be able to lighten the load towards the end. My body just feels so tired at times. Do to the load, there is no recovery time. But I am still so excited about the cycle. I love this stuff.

Glad the week is half way over because it has been a long week already.  The only good news is that the homework has been lite this week but that will be picking up next week.  Attended 2 TKD classes today to help get leadership credit and also the White Belt Challenge piece. Looking forward to sparring class tomorrow. 

Today I finally finished all of my leadership credits. I am glad I got those done because that frees up a little time to get homework done since school is getting to be quite busy and/or work on essays for the cycle. Another reason why I am glad to be done with leadership credits is that now others can get those credits because I was starting to feel bad for constantly asking to do warmups because even though I knew I needed to get them done, I was starting to feel like I should let others catch up on their leadership credits, and now others can catch up on those credits. Overall today was a good day and I hope to have another one like it tomorrow.

This is a difficult week for me having to abandon my bed very early in morning.   The price you pay for having work done on your house!   I guess I can get some requirements in today.   My body also realizes it hasn't done a normal workout until BB class last night.
