Candidate Journals

Great day so far! Took class with the other masters.  Worked on poomsaes, self defenses, and hapkido forms.  Afterwards, went to lunch at Persis Indian restaurant.  Wonderful buffet!  Looking forward to another busy day today...

Today I have a shorter day of home school. I wonder what I will have to do to complete it. Also a person is coming at 9:00 a.m. to check the top of our house. Well I can't wait to get this day started.

my day was pretty good i went to school and got alot of homework because i had regular homework then i had make up work. but i got it done.  after school i went to tae kwon do and took my class after class i had a sparring class and i took that.  after that i went to dinner with my friend that i hadnt seen in a while. so that was fun then i did my homework and now im doing this so today was pretty good.

I submitted my last essay, Community Project, this evening. As each day passes, I'm getting closer to my goals. I'm looking forward to our meeting/training tomorrow morning. Hopefully no surprises!

(Btw, I know this isn't a journal entry, I already did it)

So, today was okay. I had a lake Norman teen council, so I went to that and I couldn't do any sports. It was a lot of fun, there was Eli, and we talked and laughed a whole bunch. There was a photo booth and my sister and I took pictures. Ahhh I looked really stupid. Nothing much, I tried to do a cool nail design, FAIL! I did like an ombré, and the sponge was bieng annoying. It wiped off the nail polish I had underneath. And now it has texture, it feels pretty cool. I hope you had a superb day!

I wanted to get some requirements done before school today but I woke up late. I did manage to get a few poom saes in though. Tonight I helped with the 2 open classes and took the weekday black belt class.

     Today we had my ELA class had its first warm-up on Passage Correction. In International Studies we had a 3 people group, in which 2 people had to find 20 facts on Immigration in Manhattan during the 1800s and 1 had to read a short passage on it, write facts on it and answer questions on it. Well while I was reading the passage for 10 min, my 2 other partners were playing games instead of working. When I come back they haven't answered nothing, so I did there work. Luckily, my teacher said I would get credit and they wouldn't. During Social Studies a person in my class was taken out of class for playing games on their computer. In our school if you use the school's network they can track what you are searching. I am going to the Renaissance Festival tomorrow. Yeah!

Today i went to school and i had 2 teachers out for ELA and STEM class (shop class). And today we had our last black belt class (weekday) so that was nice and we took a picture, of course serious smile first and then silly. So today was good.

Had a super busy day today!  Started with locking my keys in my car when I went into the bank this morning.  A lesson in patience followed as I waited an hour and a half for AAA to assist.  Got a lot of things moved out, and great training today.  Had a blast in the last black belt class at our present location.  It feels weird moving, but I am looking forward to a bright future for us! 

Today, I ran 2 miles in the morning and i almost got late to school! I just finished changing and getting ready. I learned about European explorers. When i came back from school, I did my homework and requirements. Then i helped out he family class and took black belt class. After that, i had a mentor session.

Today was the last day i will be at the old king tiger place. I've been going there for 9 years and its really made an impact on me. Im going to  miss that place 

Today I was supposed to stay for sparring at King Tiger but I only need like 23 sparring rounds and I can get 20 rounds from Kickboxing so I got to come home early. After my dad picked me up he went to the library. He let me stay in the car while he grabbed a book that was on hold. Then we went to Chik-Fil-A to get dinner because it was JV Washam night and mom didn't feel like making dinner. The sticker on my shirt reminded my dad of this. After we went through the drive-thru which was completely packed, we went home and ate dinner while watching a YouTube Channel called Good Mythical Morning. I talked about them in another journal. It was fun and my dad did not get enough chicken nuggets for me so right now I'm starving. No but seriously though, can I get something to eat?

Today was a good day let me tell you what I did. Today was good, I started it with Reading and then we did Math. After that we went to music. We did stuff with Native Americans. It was so cool to learn about other people. Cooooool. After we had lunch I was starving. But it filled me up. Today I have TKD and sparring class, can't wait. Slowly but shortly my black belt testing day is coming. I am excited and nervous. Bye....see you tomorrow.

So the weather said it was supposed to be 73 and partially cloudy today... great weather for an outside shoot.   I want to be a weather man, cause even when you totally get it wrong, you still get paid.   I managed to shoot 3 kids and the bottom fell out. Not sure it even got close to 70 until late this afternoon.  So the morning started with a scramble trying to adjust for the weather and wobblers who obviously didn't want their pics made in the rain....  Anymore I hate journaling, seems it is all negative.. So, before I continue, I am SO happy I woke up this morning. Pain and all. LOL.   Between a toddler and a set of steps I think I have pushed my knee over the edge.  It was already acting ugly after last Thursday's shoot, then the 5K on sat I think was another little push, well the...

Today wasn't bad. I barely had homework, so I watched YouTube. TKD was fun, I was mentroing a supper stubborn kid about his front stances. I never ealized how HARD it is to make someone do good front stances. The second class was a lot of fun, a lot of Poomsaes and self defenses. Over all, also in our neighborhood w have a little thing that they do. It's like since we have like 30 in it, we can do this. Like what they do, a random person gives another random person a goody bag with like candy and stuff, and than with a paper, and you have to put up the paper or you'll get more. Than, you have to make two more goody bags and give it random people(houses). It was a lot of fun. 2 people gave it to us, so after TKD,my sis and I went around...

I had a normal Monday today. I ran 2 miles in the morning and Then i went to school. We had to write an acrostic poem on our names. When i came back from school, I did some of my requirements and then went to hyper pro. We learned our Crescent and our Butterfly kicks. Lastly, I went to Boy Scouts. We had to plan the next pack meeting, so there was a lot of work to be done.

I had really bad headaches today. Every time I stood up or bent down, it would start to throb. I had to stand up really slow. But my parents medicated me really, even though i am a baby when it comes to nasty, yucky syrup and powder stuff. One of my teachers told me i should put salt up my nose to help my congestion, there is no way I'm doing that, I would panic as soon as one little piece went up my up my nose.  

     Today I had to finish my Reading MAP Test and I did. In International Studies I had to present my project for Spanish Culture in the USA. My Environmental Studies teacher came back from the Air Force base. Yeah! She made us make a letter for our parents, easy right. No! She told us we had to make our words by cutting out letters/words from the newspaper. It also as to be page long. My class had its official class with our new teacher. In Social Studies we have a project on our Middle Age Class. I am a knight and my name is Philip the Great of some English town in the 14th Century

I am not really sure if this is going to work.  The site looks different and I am not sure if it is the site or the Windows 10 update.  Either way, here we go.  We had the Levine run this Saturday.  It was nice to see all the support generated for the kids.  I especially liked the costumes.  One nice part, although not really important in the big picture, I was able o finish the race without stopping.  I was pretty happy about that.

Saturday i did a 5K for the hope builders and that was a blast because I've never done a 5K before and for my first 5K it was awesome. The really good thing that was really funny was that on the run my brother forgot his water bottle and i had my back pack on, and i know what you are thinking hes crazy for bringing that, but i had to because my phone. So when my brother came up to me on the run he said spray me with your water and sure enough i sprayed him and he looked so funny, it was even better when i told my mom. And during the 5K it started raining and then at the end it all came pouring down. So that was the good part of my weekend.

Tomorrow is the last day i will be at the old tae kwon do place before we go to a temporary location 

Had a pretty good Monday.  Got a chance to teach the afterschool kids over at Elevation Church.  That was a cool experience and looking forward to it again tomorrow.  I always like doing martial arts at places we don't normally train.  It is certainly a cool feeling!

Today was a good day ,let me tell you what happened. One good thing about today is that it was PJ day. We wore our PJ's to school ????. It was fun but the rules did not change in school. But some people did not care. And they got in trouble bad. But after that the day was better then it was this morning. But after school I did my 5k essay. And tuned in my homework on the computer. Now I am doing my blog and after I am going to eat at my grandmothers house. I will also continue to do my poom saes and whatever I am behind on. So ... see you tomorrow. Bye.

We had a great turn out and event at the Hopebuilders 5K last Saturday. I've ran more these past three months than my entire life. The end of the cycle is approaching with the AAU tournament this weekend. Stay strong.

My day was pretty good i ate breakfast then went out on the trampoline.  after a while i went to belveder with friends. it is a pumkin farm with a lot of activites.  After that we went to dinner with a bunch of people after that i went to my cousins house then we went to my grandmas house now im here really tired

Today was my sister's b-day so we celebrated that but other that that I had a pretty bad day. My sister's pet died so she was all upset and my great grandma broke her hip and that ment that my grandparents had to go home early too.

Alright maybe going to dance camp sick wasn't my best idea, but I did it, and it was fun. I had to take really long breaks during camp because I was learning really fast dances, and I was getting queasy. But the dances were so cute!!! I love them. 

Wow. I feel horrible today. I threw up when I took a cramp relief. It was horrible. I hope I don't feel like this tomorrow. I had a huge stomach thing, and I hate when my stomach hurts. I barely ate anything today. Ughh. Horrible. I took a nap at one, and woke up at three. My mom gave me a soda. I just drank some tea. I really hope I feel better and I hop you had a muuuuch better day than me.

Today I did some things I can't remeber. I feel accomplished but I can't say exactly what I did. Maybe the extra credit song I did with my sister or that my account finally started working then I struggled and finally found a way to write a journal entry. Is it just my account or did everyone update? I like the old one better, its easier to access for writing journals. I have not been on this sight due to not bieng able to log in, so I might have very big numbers for some days and zero on others. 

Today we went to see a movie called The Martian. It is about an astronaut who is on Mars with his team and there is a huge storm. He gets knocked out by some debris and the crew thinks he's dead so they head home. Turns out he wasn't dead so now he is trapped on Mars with a limited food supply. He tries to grow potatoes and when he tries to make water with 2 hydrogen and one oxygen he uses solid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to make water. Unfortunately he forgot to account for the extra oxygen he had been exhaling so it kinda blew up in his face. He had a rover and inside of the rover there was a camera recording his progress. And I noticed that that camera was a Go Pro. I thought the movie was really amazing and it was based off of a...

Today, I woke up and did my essay on Community Service. Then i did my requirements. After that, I had some time, so we went popcorn selling to raise money for boy scouts. Lastly, we ran 2 miles in the night

Today was a very rushed day and their was never a tme to rest. Waking up early and mowing grass, went to All County Chorus practice all afternoon then finished the night watching my girlfriend receive the National Honors society award. So today ended up being a good day to finish off the week.

I"ve not been able to log into journals for the last couple of days.... Had a good run yesterday at the Hopebuilders 5K... Was no need for an ambulance, that is always good.   And the kids from Belmont absolutely ROCK... after they finished their run, they came back to catch up with me and finish my run with me.   They have no idea how much they help me push through.. Thanx guys!   ... I'm out of town for the entire week shooting in Wilmington.    I hope to find a chance to scoot over and visit the guys in Leland.    All for now, testing out the new journal setup here. .. I hope everyone has a great week!    

Had a pretty good Sunday! Got the lawn mowed, and also went to the Renaissance Festival for awhile! Other than my car getting stick in the mud for a little while, it was great. Perfect weather for today to cap it all off as well!

Today I did some of my daily requirement and played with my baby brother. I also got to play xbox for a while. After that I did my homework. After that I ate pizza for dinner. I had a fun day today. 

Today was a relaxing day i didn't do anything school tomorrow and tuesday will be the last day at king tiger

This morning I went to church to learn more about God. We learned about the differences of what God made and how they are different. Also we talked about how the Trinity was always there and how they are equal. But each of the persons in the Trinity have a different job. Besides our Bible lesson the way that we did things were normal and no changes or any different plans yet.

Today was my cousin's tenth birthday.  We had chicken, rice, vegetables, cake, and ice cream.  When we got home I went up stairs to play my favorite game, Madden.  Then my sister came over to spend the night.  Then it was time for dinner.  So today was kind of like a lazy day.

     I woke up at 6 am and got ready for the Hope Builders 5K. Got there around 7:15 am and ran around 8 am. I finished with a time of 26 min and 9 secs. I immediately left home and 2 hours until I ha Tae Kwon Do. After Tae Kwon Do I was really tired and slept for 3 hours. Then when I woke up I had to take a shower and go to a friends house. I stayed there until 12:20 am and came home. Guess what time I am writing this journal, 1 am. 

i ranbthe 5k it was so fun I ran as hard as I could and gave it my all.  After the run I went back to my house to get ready for going to Virginia after we got there we ate dinner and then I'm watching tv and that was my day

Ran the 5k today, it was so rainy, but I did my best and ran as much as I could, then I had to go to dance camp, which was fun tiring ,and aggravating all in one. My feet are sore and my head hurts (we work on head spins and other tricks). I think I am also catching something. my throat really hurts :(, I'm treating it the best I can, but I still have dance camp tomorrow. I love being involved in things, but I wish they would stop syncing up. At least I got all my requirements done for this weekend.

Today was the 5K, congratulations to everyone that finished! At first when my dad and I where looking for the 5K we got lost, we also got lost when we were on our home. After the 5K I went to class in Charlotte, I took the black belt and up class and the sparring class, I got extra practice on the Hapkido 1-10, yay! For the rest of the day I went to Tyler's house and played Monopoly with my Dad and Tyler's Dad and Grand pa.    

today was pretty good because it as friday.  when i went to school it was pretty easy i just did boring school work=)after school i went to tae kwon do and took the blackbelt class then i went to paintball with my friends it was really fun the thing we played was were u shoot the zombies and it was really fun so that was my day.

     I have ELA for my first period, so when I went today I saw my whole class waiting outside of the classroom since our teacher wasn't here. She lives in Mooresville, NC and she says there is a lot of traffic, so she gets late. After waiting for 15 min she finally comes, but we find out that the lock is broken so we can't get in. Solution, have class in our newly built classrooms. There is a problem too, we need our computers, but there is no WiFi there. So in ELA we just read a book.      My new Science teacher came today. She did a little explaining about herself. She has two kids in college, three pets at home, was a nurse, and lived in Brazil. Then she told us to write a paper about thing about ourselves. We learned a little about the microscope...

Today I did a lot in school and TKD and I really enjoyed just hanging out with my family afterwards.

I wish... my body was numb, and it wouldn't feel all the pain... lol ... good class tonight. I do like a good sweat. Was a tough day overall. 110 kids and one of them decided to swing on me, oops there went the back. it made class difficult, but truth is, they all are right now. just tickled to be here and pushing through. Making plans and preps for my week working out of town next week. I will leave after our charity run and bb class. I hope everyone is doing good ! one day at a time

Today went by like it was a Friday because of all the fun I had. Then we had our pink out volleyball game to spread awareness for breast cancer and it raised a lot of money.

Today my class started a project in International Studies. The topic was on to do a person who was born in a Latin American country and how they impacted the USA. I asked a teacher if I could do someone whose parents were from a Latin American country, since I wanted to do Victor Cruz (New York Giants Wide Receiver). She said yes since his mom was from Puerto Rico. In ELA we had another MAP test for Reading, lat time it was Language Arts. I got to finish my Math MAP testing today. My class are started doing working on a poster for our homeroom class for anti-bullying. My new Science teacher will be coming tomorrow. My Environmental Studies teacher had to leave school for 3 days since she is a Reserve in the Air Force and they needed her. So my class ended up with a bunch of worksheets.

Great classes at North Charlotte tonight followed by a mentor session with Master Cavazos. We reviewed Espada y Daga and started working on the Double Stick 2 form. Lots to remember. Ankle is throbbing but getting better every day.

me and my cousins had a push up challenge, one of my cousin said they were "cute for some girls ones", I looked at him like he was nuts. I may not be the best at push-ups but i've pretty good form. Any who he showed me his and his butt was so up in the air. Lol wow, and he going to talk bout my push ups. My other cousin, she does track and basketball, she has great push ups.

Today after school my bus was late so I didn't get home till around 5:30 at night so I couldn't go to baseball and we have a project due tomorrow

Good productive day on the tkd front and ready for all requirements to be finished then can focus on fine tuning all else.

This is a Youtube show starring Rhett and Link. Some of you may know them. They do all types of things like songs, current events, if things will be good with other things, and how things miserably fail. I like that they are really funny but they are often serious as well. One time they were serious that the world's largest popsicle started melting right after they got it to a 45 degree angle. That was serious because it was so hot that day they had to bring it out in a huge icy container but the heat started seeping in through the cracks and melted it. They've done lots of cool stuff including bathing in cereal. They had to eat their way out with giant spoons, and this happened to be Link's lifetime wish. He was very happy about the whole thing. I definitely recommend you should watch them.

Today I had school then went to black belt class. There we practiced poomsaes and self-defenses. After that I went to the back and did some more requirements until my mom picked me up while I was watching my dad's combative class. Overall everything was normal and no new things going on today.

My day was decent. I started of going to school. We did normal things. Then, I went home and with the time i had, i did some requirements. Then i went to help the family class. After that, I did black belt class. I had a usual Thursday!

Today i went to black belt class got a mentor session and a leadership 2

Today we had to wear our favorite superhero and I chose to wear batman! I helped all classes and Master Shin helped me with my forms, self-defense, and hapkito. Can't wait for the Aau tornament and the upcoming 5K!

Today was a good day let me tell you what I did. the day was along and a tiring one too. School was good because we got to buy some books from the Book Fair. This is the time of year that kids from the mooresville disirict sell books from scholastic. I got a lot of books, they are soooo good. And now I am watching class. So see you tomorrow.

Sunshine is great, isn't it? I have loved waking up the past few mornings to a beautiful day. I know we needed the rain, but we also need that sunlight! Looking forward to a full day today.

Very busy day- prepping for busier day tomorrow, Was nice to be able to practice BO staff form outdoors today,,, In the sun!

s today i wen to swim practice, the struggle was real. oooh in science whoever is writing my journal write maybe another journal answering this joke/riddle thing so there is a quiz and a test. you call the quiz a quizical what do you call the tes? ok dont answer this AT ALL. ok sorry i forgot the answer whe i wrote "write back" whatever dont listen to me. ok anyways i love my science teacher Mrs. Stone she has a really hard life, bad stuff and like teen moms and abusive dads, few she is really nice. she, like, gives us lessons on that..

Today i went to school and we worked on a crazy math term called the ''Pythagorean theorem''. The word itself was hard to pronounce, it was even harder to do the math. But were using it for a building from the renaissance time period and will make it not life size, but to our measurements. So that was my day.

Today I had to present my Powerpoint for a book my class read. The teacher said I did a good job and I got an A. In International Studies we had s guest speaker from Columbia (country) who Skyped with us on immigration is Spain. She had down her Bachelors done in Spain and was a teacher in the USA, who taught English to illegal immigrants. Since my class is learning about immigration in class, she talked about immigration in Spain. Today I also had my MAP test for math.

Today we got a half day so when I got home I got lots of requirements done and we got no homework as a plus.

Today we got a half day so when I got home I got lots of requirements done and we got no homework as a plus.

Today we got a half day so when I got home I got lots of requirements done and we got no homework as aa plus.

Today I took another test and I took a break from class because my grandparents came in today.

today was awesome I got to have half day at school then u got ready for my sisters bday party on her actuall bday and some of her friends came over and it was really fun so that was my day 

I had a lucky day today. I found my lost jacket. I was so happy! My mom came to my school to volunteer. She got me subway. I also got a leadership 2 today.

I have a dinner tomorrow night at Panthers ' Stadium for Ricky Proehl's foundation. We should get a nice dinner, meet a few players, and help raise money for charity. Looking forward to it.

I finished my push ups today, yay!! At school we had a pep rally, it was pretty cool, we had alot to cheer about. After school I didn't feel so good so I didn't get to make it to taekwondo.

Today I worked with my mentee, Gregory. We practiced sparring combinations and hook round house kicks. We went through 1-14 of his sparring combos and helped him on his kicking technique for hook round house kicks. Overall he did very well and can't wait to finish my sessions with him.

Started with a great class this morning with the other masters. Worked on Hapkido forms 1-4, which I had down! Worked a bit on Pal Gwe forms (out of order) which was a challenge, but got them figured out. Also got a chance to work on black belt forms as well as different self defenses.

Today we had a half day at school yay ably there for 5 hours so not rally a half day

So for Halloween I'm going to be Robin Hood. But not what you think. I'm actually going to be Robin, from Batman and Robin, with a hood. In the comics, his actual name is Damian Wayne. There have been lots of Robins. Dick Grayson was the first Robin then he became Nightwing. Then Jason Todd became Robin and in the comics the fans voted he should die so the Joker killed him. But he wasn't really dead and is now the Red Hood. Damian Wayne is supposed to be Bruce Wayne's son so it makes sense that he would be Robin. I will be Robin and my friend will be Batman and his little sister will be Batgirl.

Today I did all of my daily requirements and went to school. We had a short day today so I am really happy. After I do all of my homework I will go to Tae Kwon Do and help the class today. I had a fun day today.

Another day of confirmation that I'm really getting a handle on my material. Worked out with Master Evins and the other school owners to go over self defense/hapkido material. I knew most of it without hesitation. Three more weeks!

Today I will have my plantest for college all day in school and it's going to take a lot of time

Great BB Class tonight. We covered a lot of material. I actually went through bo staff 2 with only one mistake... yeah ! ... hapkido 11-20.. at class, well I had them.. we make up names to remember them. on the way home I was trying to run them all through my mind to help imbed them .. uuugh! my memory or lack there of amazes me!!! Everything seems to be a struggle right now. There is SO much on my plate and my personal battles are wearing on me. I'm happy though, every day I get up and actually out of bed... well that is a good day! Thank you Master Shin for all of your patience and help!

I just hope tomorrow gets better. Construction progress at house - - -ugh- - no Cypress trees at Lowes that would fit in my car- - then off to the dojang. Happy with the requirements accomplished today and was able to meet with my mentee. Helped in junior class then Jerome and I tried to work on our creative form, that will be a work in progress.

Today I took a really big test at school and I think that I blew it out of the water. At TKD I learned a lot because some of the stuff u kind of know but u don't know it just enough to question yourself and I don't have that problem anymore.

Today in science class, my class got back their Unit Test papers back. We went over it and on one of the questions answer was different from what we the had teacher had given us in our notes. So our teacher said she would give us the point back if we had gotten the answer that we had put in our notebooks. Then, a girl in my class said how the answer that we all thought was wrong. People got mad at her, but the teacher said that she would give us credit for both answers. Luckily, we didn't have MAP Testing today, but we have it tomorrow.

Boy, I really need to practice my black belt self defense- 1st Dan through 3rd Dan. I lost my mind tonight and totally went blank working with Master Randle. At least I know what I need to focus on other than my creative form. Ankle is still hurting and tender. I'm going to be very cautious for the next few weeks. No more injuries.

During black belt class I helped out with the warm-ups for my leadership 2. I think it's fun getting to be loud and leading the class in a specific activity. I lead all the warm-up parts and smiled when I finished. Before I used to be nervous but now I enjoy doing it and feel more relaxed.

Today I did do all of my daily requirements and went to school today. After that I ate snack and went to my homework. And then I trained with my mentee for 20 mins and then went to Tae Kwon Do for a mentor session. I had a fun day today.

Today I had a rough day. I lost my jacket in school and it was very bad. But i had a fun rest of the day. I went to help the family class and i did black belt class. After that, I had a mentor session.

At school today we had to wear our favorite team for any sport. I helped two classes and took one class today at taekwondo, I got alot of progress on what I need to know for the over night testing.

In one of my classes we learned that the word September comes from the greek word Sept which means sixth. The funny thing is that September is actually the ninth month in the year. Also Oct means eight but October is the tenth month. Did you know that two months were added in the middle of the year? July and August were added by Julius and Caesar Augustus . Just thought you should know.

Just added some stuff that I forgot to add in my stuff, my goodness you can not forget to log on your stuff! There were some things that were forgotten. My goodness!

Got another mentor and mentee session in today! With Master Cavazos I worked on Hapkido 1-32, and also Pal Gwe Oh Jang. With my mentees, we worked on poomsaes, and staff form 1. Our King Tiger Hopebuilders team is getting bigger! That's great! We can still use more people though, of course!

today i went to black belt class and we worked on self defense and poomsaes i also got another mentor session

I did a genius project, which was about warheads. I brought a lot of warheads to school and everyone wanted one. It was soooo annoying.my tongue hurts from eating so many. I was going to go swimming, but than a person for the water filter came and we couldn't go. So we ran and biked some. It was nice out. Good night!

Tomorrow at school all students in CMS get a half day so we get to go home early. Also tonight I get to watch the Yankees take on the Astros in a one game playoff.

today was a pretty good day I went to school and did all my school work then I went to to and did my homework after that I went to get dressed but my aunt hadn't brought by my uniform yet so I waited for a while then I just had to barrow a uniform. Then in the middle of class she brought my uniform and u just hurried and got my belt on.  After that class I got dressed because I already finished all of the credits for the next classes but I will still go once in a while. When I got home my sister and I made dinner for the family and my grandma it was really good we made eggs, bacon, biscuits, hash browns, and my grandma made really good cenamen biscuits then we played Mexican dominos u won the last round and that was my day

My class was supposed to have a vocab quiz in ELA, but we ended up not having one. I also had MAP Testing today on Reading and Vocab. I got a good grade too. My Spanish teacher gave everyone an essay to do on illegal immigrants coming from Mexico and Central America, and it is due tomorrow. I also have a project due tomorrow for Spanish. I got my shrub today. It was smaller than i expected it to be. I forgot what the name is though. I have to water it once every week.

Got a chance to have dinner with my grandparents this evening! They are heading back down to Florida from New York. It was their first time seeing my new house, so it was fun to play tour guide. Not like its that big, but still fun. Psyched about doing the 5K this weekend! Plus, it is going to a great cause...

On Saturday I took the physical and written test for the black belt cycle. On the physical part, I did four pull-ups which is really big for me. It took me 8 minutes and 25 seconds to run my mile. My best is 7 minutes and 42 seconds. I had to do push-ups, sit-ups, and burpees as well. On the written test I got a grade over 100. I got 104% because of the 6 bonus questions. I am happy that I got that grade because only one person got higher than me. It was one of the second or third degrees. I am excited about the last few weeks of the cycle.

Had a great day today and happy with my tkd progress, however Jerome "lets do more rolls & falls" NO- -- my body can only take so much in one night. As someone made comment tonight I am competitive - -yes a little- -but more so I like a good challenge. Hello peeps I am a lot older and that body does not react quite the same as the younger vintages. Looking forward to a good week!!!

I had a busy day today. I had to go to hyper and boy scouts together. It was tiring. I did my requirements fast today. Then i had to go to hyper class. Then, we went to boy scouts. We talked about saving. Then, i watched a football game.
