Biology Tests

So today I had two biology Tests, and I'm pretty disappointed. As always, my teacher splits up our tests into 2 or three parts, and I got kinda low grades. I got an 87 on a 23 question test so I missed three, and a 76 on like an 11 question test, or something like that, but I missed three on both. The reason I'm disappointed however, is that these tests were really easy, and I should've aced both.

I was kind of glad that I went because one it was my first time and also ot was pretty fun to help the students break their boards.

Friday

Got back late from Hong Kong last night and slept great last night. Now it is Friday. Nate did not have school and did a sleep over with a friend of his. Then he came home today and we hung out a bit. We got a bunch of exercises done and also tested each other. We both feel pretty good about the test. We went to Black Belt class and reviewed some stuff that we needed review on anyway. It was a good night. Now I am heading to bed, we got an early morning with Physical and Written Test tomorrow. Good Night everyone. Good luck. Keep Moving!!!

Went for a nice run...

So honestly, today felt like a pretty long day, but at the end of it all, I ran the LONGEST 5k I've ever ran. Now let me go ahead and say that my quickest is in the 24 minute threshold, but this one, I got SO MANY CRAMPS, that it was over 40. So really, I felt pretty disappointed in myself since I ran such a slow time, but t the same time good because I got a bunch of miles in.

Today I woke up and went to school.  At school we watched a video on how the human body works, that was in science.  In last block we took a cycle test.  After school I went to TKD.  At tkd I went on a run and ate a snake.  After that I took sparring and then went home.

March 7th

Today's been very productive. Despite being very very busy, I feel like I've gotten a lot done. I took 1 quiz, and two tests today, studied for two more tests that I have tomorrow and am stressing out a lot over the test on Saturday. I have also done a multitude of small assignments for my various classes, all in all I think it pretty much sums up the end of the quarter. I'm glad for the 3 day weekend since we have Monday off.

Journal 44 March 7th, 2019

Today was a very slow day at school. We had a seminar in earth science about structures built along the shore to prevent erosion, she did not pick a good article. Then I did a lot of work in math, surprisingly. I’m still behind though. We also got new Tokyo Ghoul books in the library and it was like a mad dash to see who could check them out first. It was entertaining. I also surprisingly got a lot of work done in Spanish. Art was fun though. We think that the art teacher is pregnant. She keeps saying stuff that relate to the topic since the beginning of the year. I’ve suspected but kept my mouth shut. But now we’re sure that she’s having a baby.

Band Practice

So today we had band practice and honestly, it felt like the longest one I've ever had. It went after school from 2:30 to 5:30 but it felt like it was double that time. However we did get a lot of practice in today so I guess that's good.

Today I woke up and went to school.  At school we did more practice on the area of a circle and circumference.  Then in second block we did more on ww2.  In gym we played baseball and basketball. In fourth block we just went over everything we did while our teacher was out.  After school I went to TKD and ran.  I then took class and then left.  After leaving I went to my grandparents house because my great uncle chuck was their and we went to eat pizza and hang out with him.

So on Saturday we have our written test and physical test. I'm glad I am actually going to be there, because for the physical pre-test I wasn't there so I had to do it another day. It has been raining a lot so I haven't had to do much with my shrub lately and its pretty hard to keep track o when its a good time to water it.

Today I got up did my stuff and went to school. In Gym Class my friend didn't get a good serve (because he's bad but I can't tell him that because I think he knows) and was raging when really it was his fault. After school I ate, studied for the written test and went to T.K.D. Now I've finished dinner and I am here.

March 5th

Today has been pretty stressful, but I'd like to take a look at the better side of things. I have a truck load of makeup work for a day that I missed, and that just keeps on piling up. I had to miss taekwondo because my little brother and my mom had a concert, and I received a less than favorable grade back on my French test. Despite all of that, I got my daily requirements done, practiced guitar, listened to a wonderful performance, received a good grade on a civics project, and even got to relax and just hang out with my family for a little bit.

okay, so i said i wasn't journalling again. But i checked my track page and it only says i've done 21 journals, even though i can count all my journals and there are def more than thirty. soooooo i have to do more. i had a really bad day yesterday. i had a big feud with a friend and she's acting really shady, and i have to do something that i'm not necessarily refusing, but that offends me. that's all i can tell you without revealing too many details. and that's all. and another extra detail you didn't ask for- when you want to listen to a really weird song, listen to "bushes of love" by bad lip reading. it's on itunes and spotify. and on that note, i'll end on a song lyric: we've all got a chicken duck woman thing waiting for us.

Wakey wakey

So, Instructors camp is over, and what a great camp it was. Being around Grand Master Lee is phenomenal. I'm just amazed how he can sit down on a hard floor with us with perfect posture for hours. I really liked how we ended it with the GRIT thing. It's definitely something to keep pursuing. Today I am finishing up my written test questions and starting to study. The hardest thing to do is start hitting the requirements again after instructors camp. I'm still trying to catch up on sleep, not so much push ups, sit ups, pomsaes, and self defense. That's it for me. Stay healthy folks!

Hong Kong

Well... I landed in Hong Kong about 3.5 hours ago. It is about 9:00pm here while I am typing this. I did not sleep much on the plane. Just could not get comfortable. I do have a bunch of meetings tomorrow, but I am ready for them. I spent a good portion of the flight preparing for them. I did go to the hotel gym and workout. Got a bunch of requirements done, and I room-service just arrived with some food. Plan is to eat and hit the sack. Hopefully that works. Have a great day. Keep Moving!!!

Got back from Instructor's Camp today, it was so much fun. It's only the second time I've been and I had a wonderful time meeting people and making new friends and strengthening relationships with the friends I already had. Of course it was a privilege to be around so many talented people. My knowledge and passion for taekwondo truly were strengthened and expanded. I hope to go again next year and to have an even better experience.

instructors camp

Over the weekend I went to instructors camp. The camp was really fun and we practiced a lot. We also did a rope course, the rope course wasn't even a actual rope course it was a teamwork activities. I also learned how to do the nunchucks. I was really good at it as well. We all trained really hard and learned a lot as well. Working with Grand master Lee was a really honorable thing to do. Overall the camp was really fun. This was my first instructors camp as well.

On Saturday I had my birthday party. We went to Painting With a Twist and painted a tree with butterflies. It was a nice small party with a few friends and family that chose to come down for it. After that we went to Outback with a family friend and her kids. To be honest, they seem like family rather than friends.

I'm back!

So we all just got back from instructors camp, and it was pretty fun! This was my third year, and to be honest, I did kinda like going to Greenville rather than going to camp oak Hill, but it was still awesome. Even though it was also a pretty small instructors camp, it was still really fun, with cool training. I'm looking forward to next year's, and I'm hoping it'll be just as fun!

Confused on a grading scale

So in engineering, the entire class did pretty bad on this recent test, with  everyone averaging a C(which is funny because we actually checked the answers and people were right when our teacher marked us wrong). So we all had to to do a makeup test,and on any retest, the highest you can get is a 79. So there were 30 questions, and I got 25 right, which is an 83. So somehow, she took 83% over 79 and managed to get a 65 out of that which is really annoying. So instead, even though I got a better score on the makeup, my original grade for my first test was still better because she graded weirdly, so I got a C.

Dusk till dawn

Tuesdays are my roughest day. Mostly self imposed as I go to PMA class Monday night, get home around 9:30, bed by 11, then up at 5 am for my men's bible study group. Went home to meet the tree guy who I'm paying a crazy amount of money to save my poplar tree. The tree is huge and would cost a fortune if it had to come down, so $300 is definitely the path of cheap resistance. Then today, Master Knight fell while on a run and messed up his shoulder. I took him to the urgent care where they took x-rays and such. So it was just me at the new school tonight. It actually went pretty smooth. Of course, it would have been a lot smoother with Master Knight because of his awesomeness with kids.The good news is, I'm still trainable, and Master Knight teachings have come to...

Thursday

Night before Instructors Camp and all through the house, I am packing for the weekend... As I am not sure the weather, so I am packing for all circumstances. I am sure I am overpacking but I would rather have it than not, and need it. If it was just me, that would be different, but Nate is going too and so I am a little protective and I want to make sure he is prepared as well. Double the trouble. Anyway... I am very excited about the weekend and looking forward to moving my mind, body, and spirit. See you all there. Keep moving!

Today's journal will be a little bit longer one, because there is a lot of stuff I want to cover. First things first, I finished my white belt challenge! It was a forgotten experience, and it took some time to get used too, but once I did, I enjoyed being a white belt. It made me recall the place from where I started. My brother made fun of me for being a lower belt than him. I also started writing a book! Writing has been a skill I have had for a while, but I only started making it a passion recently, and I haven't looked back since. I'm currently typing this only new iMac, I got this for my birthday (I'm 13: February 24th) and I love it!

It was a pretty good Wednesday. I had to go into our Charlotte office and meet with some people. It was pretty productive and we prepped for next week as well. I need to travel to Hong Kong for work. I still have to have a meeting with the employee I need to work with more but I am definitely taking him off the current project. That will be tough but what I need to do right now. Did a mentee session with Mrs. Amanda. That went well. Then Nate and I headed to church for youth and men's ministry. It was a good message today. Bottom line is that we have to "Put Christ On" everyday. Regardless of your religion or beliefs, just do good for the sake of doing good, and no other reason. I wish we all could just do good and be good to everyone around us....

Sunday (Blind Love)

Last Sunday, I spoke a little about Blind Love. I did talk about God's love. This is NOT about religion. The ultimate message is that we are nothing without "love" and "love" is everything. The ultimate question is whether we "apply" love in our everyday. This is a little mind-blowing for me today so I needed to share. We are nothing without love. Bottom line... do we apply love in all situations? If someone makes you angry, have we ever replaced that anger with love or loving action? What if we did? What would happen? What would that outcome be? I imagine it would be different. How different? Think about trying it. I know I am. This community, country, and world all need more love right now. We all do. If everyone acted in love versus anything else... even once... what could happen????  Keep moving!!!

Today was just a busy day at work. It was non-stop from 7:00 until 5:00 today. It was just back to back meetings. Now, I am complaining, but I have it really good at my job. If I am not traveling, I get to work from home. It is a pretty good gig... but when I work from home... it seems like the day just flies. Like I said, I was back to back all day... even through lunch. I try to grab something between meetings. I really wish Microsoft would make it easier in Office to "auto"-build in about 5-10 minutes between meetings in the calendar so that you get a chance to breathe. I find that after a day like today, I have about 30 actions I need to take and then there is no time for the actions... so when do I do them. I can delegate some...

Today's adult class at the end of the day was definitely different than normal, especially since Master Chelley was out so she could recover from her surgery.

We did a lot of work on our basic kicks but we also spent a lot of time on some of the old Hap Kiddo curriculum that we hadn't gone over in a really long time.

Fridays are great. Get a couple of extra hours of sleep and a chance to recoup. I had a lists of things to get done today after the boys school work, but the rain has other plans for me. Instructors camp is astonishingly just around the corner, and it looks like a packed schedule. Hopefully the weather will cooperate out there and we'll get our rope course in and bonfire. It's that crunch time to start knocking out essays and more requirements so the end of the cycle won't be hectic. We are hosting a public speech debate at our location this evening. Hopefully it will produce some new students for us. Tomorrow will be the end of our third week at Harrisburg. It seems like we've been open for so much longer. Our parents have been giving us some great feedback and there was quite of lot of feet on...

Got up early. Not sure why but I could not sleep this morning. Woke up around 5:00 and never got back to sleep. Nate and I went to help with family and little tiger classes. I really like helping the younger kids learn their stuff. I helps me refine myself as well. I want to make sure I am doing things right to teach them correctly. Then we headed off to Black Belt class. It was a great class. Got work on some of my 1st Dan skills which was good for me. It was really good. Smoothie King and headed back home to finish off our requirements. Then we had a little down time, which Nate and I both needed. Then dinner and hanging out. My daughter in college came home for the weekend, so that was great to see her. I miss her and it was nice to catch...

February 20

I had a really fun day today, I got home from school and had no homework. I was able to play online with some of my friends, and did my requirements. I went to adult class and kick boxing today as well, kick boxing was very enjoyable. I hadn't gone to any of the kick boxing classes until today, I only had done the Friday up until now. Despite being a more relaxing day, I have an essay in English due this Friday, which I'm stressing over but I think I've got it in the bag.

80's dance off

So today in the morning masters and me class, Master Evins had us doing what he called a stretch kick dance, where we faced a partner, and both would do a back leg stretch kick going beside your partner than setting it down and turning around. Needless to say Instructor Jack and myself were lacking in our dance moves and we ended up doing a whole lot of something else. So, this is one of those great Master Evins moments. He is giving us directions from across the room, breaks it down to simple mechanical motions, and whalla! We are doing something close to synchronized swimming on dry land. Of course, all the Masters enjoyed the cheap entertainment we provided. Outside of the strange dance stretch, that class was awesome. Got to work on more hopkido moves. Love that stuff. Can't wait till next week.

TGIF (Tough Day)

Well... I learned today that someone that works for us is really not measuring up and has not been doing their job appropriately. The individual had to go out on medical leave and it became apparent that some things that should have been done have not been. Uh Oh!!! Now I have a bit of a mess, so I basically spent the day figuring out what had not been done and got it done. More to come on this I am sure.  On a brighter note... we had a really good Black Belt class tonight led by Master Natasha and Master Marcus. We practiced a bunch of self defenses, poomsaes, and falls. It was great practice and refinement time. Thank them both for pushing us. Then Nate and I had some Jason's Deli and came home. We are just hanging and I am writing this journal. Great way to end the...

Journal 42 February 21st, 2019

Today after school there was a meeting on a Europe trip next year for Spring Intersession. I went to it because I turn it down I want to know what they plan on doing. They are going to take us to London, France, and Germany. (There are only 15 spots) I don't know if I want to go or not. Im leaning more towards not going, 1, because its so expensive, 2, I want to know what other Spring Intersession options there are, and 3, it gives me so much anxiety thinking about going. I do want to see the World War 2 sites and stuff though. But I really don't want to go

February 20

My friends sometimes come to me for moral support so today I had a friend who just started a volleyball camp. She has to go three times a week two hours each and she was really sore today. So I carried some of her things and listened to her complaints. It was kinda hard to not tell her that I am here almost all week like the rest of the BBC testers and tell her about my problems but she felt a little better at the end of the day which made me happy. In other aspects of my life I am finished with mentee sessions, sparring, and I have 3 sparring rounds left. I still need to pick up my basic kicks and jump roping but otherwise I am doing well. Hope everyone has a good Wednesday.

I also learned how to edit my videos. I've gotten really good with editing videos and can do anything with the software I have.My friend has a youtube channel as well and he has 4,000 ssubscribers and gets like $100 every month, which is a lot. Hopefully I will get good as him.

Band Trip

So our marching band, The Hopewell Titanium Sound, is having a recruitment trip tomorrow, and I'm missing some stuff. Tonight I was looking for all of my stuff for the trip, but yet I can't find my spats. So tomorrow I have to go ask my band director to see if he has any extras, and it's really aggravating.
