I am 3 days into my blackbelt cycle and here’s what I’m doing this week. 7 classes, my digital detox is almost complete. I have started the nutrition challenge, and I should do 3 essays and the pretest. Also, I’m trying to put a quote on each journal entry so here’s one: Life is soup and I’m a fork.

My required reading book has arrived, plus a neck gator, to use for running, but it was too big, so I just looked like a ninja. Also, I found a mentee and I’m pretty excited for who I chose. I also got my black belt book, so I started writing in it today. To end today, here’s a quote I found. If life closes a door, open it back up, because that’s how doors work.

Today was my first black belt class. I was very nervous. Everything was good except I’m horrible at bow staff. I ordered one to practice with so hopefully I won’t hit myself with it. (foreshadowing?) Next Wednesday is my first mentor meeting with Master Opey.  Finally, here’s some wise words “I’m a bird” from my friend Quan.

I have to admit, I am a little nervous about the pretest on Saturday. I have never had a test like this before. I am home-schooled and I have never had PE. This was very funny when I first started TKD I had to do jumping jacks. I looked like a starfish trying to jump out of water. Here’s something I found

I’m halfway through my required reading and it’s a good book. I give it a seven out of ten. I did my pretest today. I did pretty good on the physical and forms but did terrible on the written test.  I am going to print it out and search for the answers. Here are the wise words of Tony Stark: “What is this, Shakespeare in the park? Does mother know you weareth her drapes?” Avengers, 2012.

#6 1/21/2025

Today I printed out the test and I’m searching for answers. Also, we tried a place called kpot bbq and hotpot for dinner last night. It is where you cook your food on a little grill, and it was really good. I recommend it if you like to eat Korean food. Here’s some advice I found, are you tired of boiling water? Just boil a few gallons and freeze for future use.
