Community Service

Yesterday I participated in the  Loaves & Fishes food drive. I had a really fun time helping out with the other people and I also got to meet new people as well. I thought it was a really good community service because  it helps the people in need. Even though it was my first experience, it will probably be my best experience.

underdogs for the clutch?

I don’t really like either teams that are in the super bowl, but I am going for the Patriots this year. This game isn’t looking good for the Patriots, but then again they work better during stress. Who knows though, if Eagles keep it up they might win.

A good Friday working from home

I had to work from home since the kids had the day off of school. I wasn't super productive with work but I got the important stuff done. When I went for a run my youngest son came along riding his bike, that made the run even better. Tomorrow is the community service project for the cycle so we will be doing that instead of the usual sparring class and black belt class.

getting a puppy?

Today was a exciting day! First, its the super bowl- I'm rooting for the Eagles, but I really don't care whether or not they lose. Second, we met our puppy that were gonna get this Saturday!!!! I'm very thrilled for this Saturday! Hopefully your team wins for the super bowl.

Journal - Day 43

Yesterday was an extremely tiring day as I did my community service. I was assigned to go to the Sharon Presbyterian Church in order to help sort and un-package food items. It took the whole time to sort out all the food items from the bags. This was to a great cause and it felt great to help the boy scouts out who were leading the cause. By the end of the service, my feet were soar from walking and delivering the food items from one place to another. Great job everyone at the community service!!!

Journal 10

     Today I started working on my SAE project in Agriculture. Im going to be making dreamcatchers out of natural materials to the best of my ability. So after it rained, my mom and I went on a walk and I looked for sticks that can be bent without breaking. We met this really fluffy dog and he rolled over when I pet him. I felt so special. I kind of wished that it rained longer though.

Today we did our community volunteer project helping out sorting canned food that the Boy Scouts collected from the community for the Loaf and Fishes Pantry that will benefit those members of our community that find themselves in need for a little help to put food on the table for their family.  I have to say it was a very rewarding experience.

food. more food. a lot more food.

I don't think I have seen so many cans and generally food in one place. There were trucks and trucks with food to help the people without food. The charity work was amazing, and it really helped them- like a lot. I picked so many cans, and really just food- it felt so good when I cracked my back. Great job on the service project everyone!

Yesterday was an overall normal day. Due to school, I couldn't finish my requirements in the morning so I finished it in the evening. I had not tests or anything surprising that happened at school. When I came home, I relaxed and played with my sister as I finished my requirements. Yesterday was a great day and I hope that today will be a great day as well!!!

Community service

Today was our community service event. It was hard work but it was totally worth it. When I came back I started doing my requirements, I still have a lot more to do. In the evening a lot of my friends are coming over, so that will be fun. So far today has been a great day!

Lazy Friday

Today was a a teacher workday so I didn't have school. I was lazy and played video games in between doing my requirements. I did go for a run in the afternoon. Then we had dinner and watched a couple of episodes of Supergirl before it was time for bed. Tomorrow is my brother's birthday.

Pranav

Today was a normal day like any other, all I did was have vocal class, played games, and did my requirements. I also got my report cards and I did a phenomenal job on it. In school I made a comic strip in creative writing class and I didn't do bad but I could've gotten a better score.Doing 150 push ups and 150 sit ups is hard so I took rounds on doing 10 push ups and then 10 sit ups and did it on and off.

Journal - Day 41

It has been a long and crazy week of tests and I am extremely exhausted . It is good to know that it is the last day of the week for school! Yesterday was, as I said, exhausting. I finished all my requirements at the end of the day. I helped the 6:45 class as I also taught warm-ups. Got in a few poomsaes and self defense while helping. After helping, I took Black Belt class, where we did a lot of kicks and core exercises. Master Cavazos made us all hold high or low planks while one person in the line was kicking targets. Since you had to hold it until the person finished, it worked your core. After Black Belt class, I got in a mentor - mentee session. I had a very tiring day yesterday! Hope everyone has a great Friday!!!

Well today I got my bell rang sparing with my daughter, she connected a kick straight to my jaw.  Not a good feeling, got a little wooziness and had to step out to lean against the wall.  Then I got mad and went back to the matt to finish the round.  Other than that I had a pretty decent day.

Nothing much..

Today was a great day! I did my requirements when I came back from school. I also had a lot of homework to do-more than usual! I couldn’t go to Tae Kwon do because I had to go to church. Today was a bit of a stressful day- especially since I had to do a lot of stuff  to do when I got home.

Good run Thursday

Got another 4+ mile run in today. It was really good and enjoyed getting in the miles. I hope I can get another run in tomorrow. The evening was spent at King Tiger first helping out at family class and then black belt class. Tomorrow I will have to work from home since the kids are out of school.

Journal - Day 40

Yesterday was an overall great day. In school, my grades where handed back and I was thrilled to achieve great grades throughout my quarter. I finished most of my requirements in school except my poomsaes and self defense. After I finished school, I was extremely tired and came back home to rest. I needed a break from all those tests in school! Afterwards, I got in a few poomsaes and self defense. I hope everyone has a great day!!

Its the first of February, and its been a pretty good start to this month. I woke up this morning and went to my statistics class and actually understood what my teacher was saying. I have a test in that class next week and I am doing my best to prepare myself for it and pass it with flying colors. I then went home and took a short nap before picking my coworker up for work. Work today wasn't bad at all. it seemed very relaxed and calm. After work my mom and I took sparring class and I feel as though I get better every time I go. tomorrow is a new day and I get to have a bit of time to relax after school and before black belt class. I am going to use that time to prepare myself for next weeks test and of course get some...

Wednesday

It is the middle of the week, and I feel like I have gotten a bunch done already, both for work and for BBC. Nate and I have been working pretty hard to get a bunch of requirements worked on. The plan is to continue working through our essays as well. Unfortunately, I need to travel for work next week and will not have as much class time as I usually get, so getting as much in this week as possible. I am really looking forward to the service project this weekend. It should be a great experience. There is no better feeling than helping others in need. I also think it a great opportunity to spend some time with our fellow black belt candidates as well. Get to know the people we are training with better.

Journal - Day 39

Yesterday was a day like any other day. I had nothing that went crazy yesterday surprisingly because every day something unexpected comes up. So, I finished my requirements at the end of the day like I always do while I was helping classes. In school, I had no tests for once and that gave me a chance to relax in school since I was already caught up. Once school was finished, I went to Tae - Kwon - Do to help out the 6:45 class. It was nice helping out the younger kids who are still learning. After helping, I took Black Belt class where we did poomsaes, kicks and rolls throughout the class. Finally, I got in a mentor-mentee session in with my mentor. I went home very tired and slept immediately. Hope eveeryone has a great day today!!!

big days, small days, wednesdays.

Wednesdays are like the half way point of the week. Like you are almost there, two more days to go. It was just an average day for me though, except for the moon. I had a bunch of studying to do when I got home, and that is what I was basically doing after school- other than requirements. I still have more to go, hopefully I can push through and finish my goals, and finish up studying.

Last day of January

I was a bad brother and I completely forgot to call my little brother on his birthday. I will have to remember to make up for that by calling him tomorrow. In my defense the time difference between Denmark and the US does not make it easy. Other than that it was a good day.

Middle of the week

Itsssss Wednesday, hump day. We are half way to the weekend, and i am looking forward to it. Saturday is community service, and it is about time that i do help others out. Not that i don’t do that often. I just feel as though it has been a while. I absolutely love that feeling of helping someone out, it’s a very warm and fuzzy feeling in my heart telling me I’m doing something right.

Pranav's Crazy Week

This week for me me has been crazy because i have 3 project due, 4 assignments and a comic strip. I'm trying my best to put all my effort but I don't know where to start. I am also practicing for my school rubix cube competition so i can get better. But I am also practicing Taekwondo as well of course. Doing all of this might be hard but I just have to do my best I guess.

Too cold

Today I was looking forward to getting some running done at school during PE. But it was too cold out so they made us stay inside. So I came home and ran 2 miles without my mom telling me to. I even did the long run from my house to Publix without my dad for the first time today.

It is Monday!

Today is Monday and I could easily fall into the typical Monday mood... but I am really trying to stay positive on this gloomy (weather) day. It has already been an interesting day at work, found out that some decisions were made around our business that affect the team, and I am not sure the decisions were made with all the right facts. That could be a problem, but trying to keep myself and my team in a positive mood. My plan is to grab the day and make it a productive day. No time like the present. I hope others do the same. Enjoy your Monday!

     Yesterday in agriculture we got to go outside and do work outside. I was the only girl actually outside. All the others were in the green house planting seeds. I was raking mulch with one of my friends during that time. We were walking along the sides of the raised beds because all of the ground was all muddy due to the rain. I am so surprised that I didn't fall into the mud. I tripped and fell on the concrete but at least it wasn't the mud.

Well tonight is the State of Union. For those of you that don't what that is, the President goes to Congress to address everyone in America- and talk about the status of the nation. Pretty big night, for those in Civics class. I'll be up watching the speech, because it was advised to watch for one of our homework assignments. Other than that, it was a casual Tuesday for me.

Journal - Day 38

Yesterday was just another regular day for me. I had no tests in school, so school was almost a breeze. After school, I went to Tae-Kwon-Do, where I helped out the 5:25 classes. The students in that class did kicks and self-defense for their belt level so I got in a few self-defenses while teaching. I then did a mentor-mentee session with my mentee and finished just in time for Hyper, where we practiced mostly tornado kicks. We also started practicing the staff part of the demo. I got in a lot of credits in yesterday and I hope that the same will happen today.

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.

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!!!

ice cream with no flavor.

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.

Monday...

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.

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...

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

Mile Run

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!

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!!!

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!

Friday Night

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.

TFI Friday

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.

Just another Thursday

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...
