friday is over

friday is finally done!!! i woke up this morning very tired as usual and did my morning routine, do workout, eat breakfast (rice crispies, fruit, orange juice, milk, bacon), pack for school. i did not sleep on the bus because i had to study for a quiz in first block which i think i did alright on. in first block after the quiz we just sat around and talked since we had nothing else to do. in second block i had jrotc and we went outside for PT (physical training) and i did really good, better than most everyone else. i was very tired once it was done but i counted what we did towards my requirements. in third block we went over the characteristics of what makes something alive again, we finished the project we were working on that took so long yesterday. at lunch i sat with my friends again and we just talked, i had ham, pretzels, cheese, a protein shake, and a granola bar...which really helped me wake up and continue on. in forth block we went over the dynasties of early china and what their rules and customs were, it was very interesting hearing how the great wall was constructed and what it symbolized. i did sleep on the bus ride home but i almost missed my stop! ill make sure not to do that again. i went home and unpacked my bag, but immediately had to leave to help out at king tiger with the white belt class. in that class we mostly worked on kwon sol and played games at the end. in the next class we worked on forms and physical requirements, making sure we got everything covered. i stayed a little while after to do a mentor session and i finished my requirements for the day, including sparring and jump rope. i went home and showered then did my laundry and cleaned my bathroom, now i am done with everything for the day so im going to watch tv until i get sleepy and RELAX. its finally the weekend and i am really happy!!!!!
