can you guys tell that i haven't been putting as much effort into my journals as much as i used too. well maybe it's because I've been writing all of these at like 1. i miss the days when i went to bed at 9 homework-free. 16 more fridays until summer break. and don't even get me started on that groundhog. i swear if it doesn't peak out tomorrow hands will be thrown. anyways that's just my little rant. 

today i woke up at 5 and got my requirements done. then i accidentally went back to bed and woke up again a 6:30 and i got ready to go to jail. we got there late and i almost fell asleep in my first period. in spanish my friend who sits next to me fell asleep and it made me want to sleep even more. fast forward i had a math test blah blah blah you probably already know how that went...then i got home and did homework and went to taekwondo at 6:00 to help out with the big thursday family class. i worked with a small group of high white belts and i felt a little nervous about teaching them the new basic blocking form because i always keep thinking about grandmaster lee's version. i remember master weeks told me that if im gonna mess up i should do it confidently and strongly and hopefully i didn't teach them the wrong thing. i then attended sparring class and i sparred with this girl i think her name was parker? she taught me a few things so thanks parker. then i did a mentor session with master weeks and we practiced the bolo form and it was my first time doing it. i was so confused and forgot everything he taught me but that's ok.

then i came home, took a shower, and now im doing some more homework and i took a break to write this. judging by the amount i have left i can say goodbye to my sleep.
