Busy

This weekend I was out of town and had no access to a computer and was working really hard to do what had to be done and go around DC all day. After that I've had three projects to work on and I am very stressed on trying to get everything done before tomorrow. Most is done but not all.

Crazy puppy

My assistant was in a car accident and missed work today. Once again I was a one woman show...drawing blood, cleaning rooms, washing and autoclave get instruments...not to mention the actual physician stuff I regularly do. The day went well, I'm just tired. Nala has a slight limp...an old problem since she was a puppy. She is supposed to be taking it easy for two weeks, but every morning she begs to go with me on my run. She also gets her cardio in by running up and down the stairs like a crazy dog at 6:30 AM in the morning.  She is driving me and the cat crazy. Can't wait til she can go back to puppy day care and romp around with other dogs.  Helped with the adult class today. I like that class. When the cycle is over, I will start going to that class regularly since I...

     Today we had a half-day at school. I had my Social Studies Court Case today, we had to go fast because we only had 18 minutes of that class. We also had lunch which is new for me, because we never had lunch in my old school. Once i got picked up, my mom took me to Chick-fil-a. I took it home and watched some TV. The rest of the day I work on a Science project, homework, and requirements.      That's all for today.

After tkd my mom, my aunt, and me went to dinner.

Lazy Day at Home

Today was a lazy day at home. I didn't have to go to school and dad didn't make me go to King Tiger. So I got to stay home all day. Most of the day was spent watching videos and Netflix. I watched a couple TV shows then got bored and started playing a game. The TV shows were 2 animas called Bleach and Blue Exorcist. The game I played was called Brawl Halla. I wanted to play it with my brother but he was doing homework. After a while of that I got bored and started playing with my megablocks. Really a pretty quiet, uneventful day at home.

A quick Monday

  Today for some reason this Monday went by so quick I think that it is a Friday to be honest. Anyway it was a good day because I have no Math homework. I am so happy because I don’t have to worry about it so much. Plus I love that my teacher gives me a break and no stress about it. After that I was at the top of the class at the subject in science. It was the circulatory system. I watch a lot of educational video in science so you get good at it as time goes on. That is why I got a 10/10 at the end of the test. After school my grandfather picked me up. I hung out with them and then my mom picked me up and now we are here at home.Today was a really good Monday and hope that they are all...

     I almost pulled a all-nighter, but I fell asleep around 5am. I couldn't go to sleep so I was just watching Netflix. I ended up waking up around 12pm. The rest of the day I did my requirements and watched Netflix. I also watched some football, sadly the Panthers lost against the Falcons. If you ask me they're are gonna fail this season. Anyway, my family went out for some ice cream. Once we got home we started watching the Steelers vs Chiefs game.       That's all for today.

Anything but that

So it was horrible. I cried after it was over. They had two chances and they threw 2 into the opponent's arms.  They took superman into the locker room for concussion protocol. Superman looked pretty shaken. This was even worse then the great tragedy.

Testing Day

Today was testing day. We had both the physical and written exams. On the physical exam, I could have done better. I got zero pull-ups but on everything else I did pretty well. I think I did really well on the plan section. I got four minutes and was tied with the other people that got first. On the written part I think I did kinda well. I passed and I think I did pretty well. I got, about, 9 or 10 questions wrong. That still counts as passing. I think some of the answers I studied were wrong so that didn't help.

Just a Normal Thursday

Today was the same.  Except, at before school there was a fight.  The fight started by someone stepping on someone elses shoes.  Then the rest of the day was just a normal day.  At gym we practiced flag football outside on the football field.  Also, My fourth block math teacher is getting married on Saturday.  So we have this sort of mean, sort of nice substitute.  I also went to Huntersville for sparring class.  Me and my dad also went to go get a UNC sweatshirt for college day at my school.  Other than that, today was a pretty normal day if I do say so myself.

Double picture day! So today I had school pictures and yesterday afternoon I had King Tiger pictures. I think I am going to like the King Tiger pics the best and since I am going to be a second poom soon I took an instructor pic so it can go up on the wall at KT. The two pics from KT have me holding a sword above my head and the other was a high front kick. I got to choose my own backgrounds and look forward to seeing what they look like when they come back. I think y school picture looks pretty good as well.

I don't like my teacher

I have a teacher at school who sucks. Like at recess today since today was my mute day and I'm the table sweeper which means I have to stay at the cafeteria longer. Every week we go to a different place for recess. Monday and Tuesday we went one place. Today we went somewhere else. My teacher said I went to the  wrong place on purpose and I couldn't talk to her to tell her I didn't do it on purpose. She blamed me for something I didn't do and when I tell her tomorrow it won't matter anymore. I don't know why I had to get a teacher that doesn't understand me at all.

  This Wednesday was very fun and a quick one to. The reason it was quick is because I had early release. When it is early release the day is rushed so much that the teacher are stressed out. Even though today was very rushed It was like a normal day. The first thing I did today was go to D.A.R.E and learned about risks and consequences. It was a educational and I really enjoyed what he said. After that I went to reading and there I did reading stations. Then I went to math and did a lot of my math that I need to do. Plus I really like the subject in math that we are learning about. Later we went into science and did some stuff there then it was Time to go hame and I really was waiting for.

My New Stickbot

A coupe days ago I got a brand new stickbot. IIt was one of the action pack stickbots and was he last pack I needed to complete the set. This set had a silver stickbot and came with three ninja, two pirate, two cop, a warrior, a fire and a knight helmets. He was silver but something that was unexpected happened. My mom got it while she was at the store but she bought the wrong pack. Since my mom was making dinner me and my dad went back and got the right one. She bought the grayish black one which I already have.

Never, never, never give up!!

I've run over 100 miles. If you had told me 5 years ago that I would be running 100 miles in 3 months, I would have told you you were crazy. It is amazing what you can do when you do a little every day. Of course it helps to be too stubborn or stupid to quit. Maybe I'm an old fool, but at least I'm an old fool who has run 100 miles ;-)  Not a good day on call when I've been to the hospital 3 times before the sun sets. Trying to hydrate all week long before Saturday's test. Interviewing job candidates on Thursday. Why am I always looking for staff???

9/26 Double Trouble

I have two very important tests coming up; one of them is for the black belt cycle, and the other is for my history class. I am finding it very difficult to study for both of them at the same time, but the black belt test is after the history, so I will be able to focus on it after I take the history test.

  Today I am so ready to tell you about what I did. The reason I am so happy is that I had some much fun and I really enjoyed it. Even if I am tired it was one of the best workouts I did in my life.

By the time I needed water I was done with the Drill. Then we did some shooting and layups. I did well and I made some and I enjoyed it. Today was a good one and I enjoyed it. Thank you for reading and good night and I hope that you have a good Monday.

Sunday

It was happy dance this morning because when I got up I could walk!!!  Swelling in ankle was down and the knee was only a throb so I am good to go.  Unfortunately not much progress on the TKD front today as Sundays are pretty much the domestic front, if not, the rest of the week turns into turmoil, which is not good.  Sooooo - -thank you D'Andre now I know what those thingies I was trying to do are called- -kip up.   Those are going to take a lot of practice for me but it will come - -just going to be a work in progress for now.  Have a few more hours that I need to finish up my list but wanted to take a break for a few and maybe catch some of the 4th quarter of the game.  Looking forward to a great week!!!

Saturday

  Hi today I did a lot of stuff mostly tae kwon do. I enjoyed today and I want to talk about it. First I was at my grandmothers house because my parents wanted a night to themselves. So the first thing I did was get up eat breakfast and then my mother picked me up to go to black belt class.Speaking of black belt  class, we did fun stuff and stuff to get us ready for testing. I want to tell you about the fun thing first. It was hand and eye coordination. It was very very fun thing to do.  Now to the testing stuff. I worked on poomsae and self defense. We worked on that for about half and hour. Then after that we did some weapons. This class was a good one and I really really really liked it. Thank you for reading and I hope you...

I had to come home after classes today and lay down for a bit.  Great classes today but oh is my knee screaming at me.  What can I say I am hard headed and do not always listen when I know I should.  All will be good - -just slather in bio freeze and take some Advil.  Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend.

Close to the end.

So this morning, I ran my regular two mile run and the I went to a Lowes Bulid and Grow with my sister. The theme was a fire boat, but there were a few police there.Once we went out, there was a fire truck outside and we got to go in it. Then i got ready for Black Bekt Class. In Black Belt Class, we pretty much went over everything. We did poomsaes where you would switch with your partners, self defense, stick forms, bolo form, the sinuwales, and of course, rolls, and falls. Then I had my very last Required Mentor Session with Master Knight????☹️. We went over things that we all needed work on.

I did a mentor session with my mentor from 5:00 to 5:15. I came home and ate a snack. I also watched tv while I was eating a snack. Then I went outside to play with my friends. After a little while we got bored and played xbox inside. After that I ate dinner. Now I'm going to sleep. Good Night.

     At school we are assigned where to sit at a certain place during lunch. On Fridays, we get to sit wherever we want to if we make sure we clean after ourselves. Well I guess we didn't, because we didn't get to. During 4th block (last class), everyone on at our table was playing with my friend about him and this girl. We were joking around that this Indian girl liked him, he his Caucasian. The thing is during ELA, they sit together and she always helps him with work. Also my parents had some friends over for dinner.      That's all for today.

A good Friday

  This Friday was a very good one and I want to tell you about it. The first thing I did today was I did some CFAs and I did well. I got a 100% on science. I don't know what I got on the math but I think that I did well on it. Anyways I also learned about different types of music in music. I learned about hip hop, rock, blues etc. It was a very fun to learn about and it was interesting. After school I went to black belt and worked on a lot of things. The first thing we worked on was poomsae. We worked on some of the higher belt poomsaes and  tweaked it a bit. Then we did weapons and then we where done with class. It was a quick one and I enjoyed it. Plus I was also a mentor so it was...

     Today we had our Homeroom Rep elections. There was about 7 people who ran (I wasn't one of them.), but one person dropped out. The person with the most votes would get Homeroom Rep and 2nd place would get Vice Homeroom Rep. The person who I voted for got Vice Homeroom Rep. I also got into this thing called National Beta Club, its this thing for really smart kids. It's basically National Honors Society, but for Middle School. You also have to keep a 92.00 grade average. If you fall below that once you get a warning, another time and your out. My induction ceremony is on Oct. 11.        That's all for today.

9/22 Protests

During school, there was a protest on campus related to the recent police-involved shooting. The protest happened to be at a building I go to very often. I was there the day of the protest, but I must've left right before it started without even realizing it.

The Jewel Wasp

So today in science we learned about this smaller than an inch long jewel wasp. When it finds a cockroach it flies in and bites it's wing so it can;t fly away. It then stings it twice in two precise locations so it can't get away. The first sting is near the abdomen which paralyzes the cockroach for a minute. The second sting is in it's brain. When the wasps stings him there the cockroach becomes like mindless. The wasp then flies away and digs a burrow. When the wasp comes back he grabs the cockroach by the antenna and leads it to the hole. And the cockroach just goes along. Then the wasp leads it into the burrow after laying an egg on the belly of the cockroach. And the cockroach is still alive. It secures the roach in the burrow and later when the egg hatches the babies start...
