Today was a pretty tiring day. I had team sports at school and then I had to go to class and do all of my requirements. I also am a little behind on my homework so I need to stay up a bit longer than usual to finish my work.

Monday

Feeling good about my Poomsaes and self defenses. I still have some hesitations with recall but I feel confident that I know them. Trying to get down the last couple of sparring combinations so that I'll have all 30. I re-injured my right shoulder last week, not that it fully healed. Pretty good amount of pain and weakness if I move the wrong way but still good for most of what I need to do.

Saturday

Spent my afternoon working on my skill. I hemmed or I should say re-hemmed clothing for John Alexander. It was relaxing and I felt a good sense of accomplishment.

9/10

Last weekend I went on the lake and had friends over. Yesterday, I was with Alexis and Tanner. We went out on the lake but halfway through, we ran out of gas. We sat there and swam for about 30 minutes. We made it back to my house, while his battery was dying and there was a storm coming in. I've been staying at a lake house for a week because my floor is getting redone, so we would go out every night and kayak. It was amazing!

Homework: Journal #42

Yesterday I was working on my homework, so I didn't get to journal. This week I don't have much time, so I had to start and finish any remaining homework that is due this week. Out of my 7 classes, I have 5 tests this week. In band, I don't have any tests, and in English I don't either. This is a very heavy week, but I will push through. The rain may help, but I am not going to rely on it.

Aches:

I had a slow moving day.  First of all I fixed breakfast!  I normally just get to the table and there it is.  I do believe that all of this exercise keeps me sore, seems as though I have muscle aches everywhere on my body.  Trying to to some requirements! PAIN!!!

No Dull Moment

Today, my writing class was completely cancelled. I was able to head home early because of it. I would have loved to have some extra free time because of it, but instead I had to devote the time to household chores. There's never a dull moment when you're on the cycle, even if you're not doing cycle-related stuff.

Not Just for Myself

There's a lot I need to know for the cycle; hapkido forms, staff and stick forms, the list goes on. While all of this information is useful for me, it is also useful to others. There are some things that my mentee needs to learn, and she plans on learning them from me. This makes me want to make me want to know what I need to know even more than before.

Daily Journal #34: Just Got Back From Camp

This week I went on a mandatory field trip this week in which we left Tuesday morning and got back this afternoon. We went to a camp owned by Young Life called Windy Gap; we go to this camp every year, and it is both a competition among the classes and a time for plenty of praise and worship for God. Windy Gap is in Weaverville, NC, which is just south i believe of Asheville. At this camp there is no cell service or WiFi so I was not able to log anything until today, and I actually kind of liked that separation from the media for a few days because we were able to grow closer as a high school without the pressure of the media, and I was able to have some time to myself in which I wasn't worried about what I need to do, what I haven't...

Good Morning

Good Morning

Good morningToday I woke up and went to wake up my dad so he could let me on the treadmill. After I did half of my planned goal, I went to do half of the rest of my exercises. Afterward, I went upstairs to help make breakfast. I made pancakes and accidentally cut one in half that was supposed to be a Mickey Mouse pancake (top right corner of photo). That's all for now.

The Gym

I renewed my membership at a local fitness center. This way, I can run miles on the treadmills there rather than concrete. I will still practice running without the treadmill every now and then, since that is what we will do during the physical test. Today, I ran 1.5 miles in 15 minutes. While this is the pace at which I need to run, I will need to build my stamina so that I can run for 4 miles at the same pace. I plan on running on days where I do not have as many classes, meaning Mondays, Fridays, and the weekend.

My Uncle

My Uncle is a fun guy who's name is Matt. He has a doctorate in Organizational Learning. He also travels all over the U.S. so I don't get to see him all that often. But when I do see him we have a great time wrestling or just hanging out. For example before he left a while ago we were wrestling on the trampoline. I hope I get to see him soon, well I'm signing off see ya tomorrow.

Weapon Forms

Today during my mentor session, I went over many poomsaes involving weapons, including double stick form 1 and bolo form. It's been a long time since I've done either form. I remembered most of the bolo form, but the same could not be said for the double stick form. Many things have changed in both forms, so I'll need to pay attention to those whenever I do them.

Thursday 9/6

Today I did my push-ups and sit-ups faster than usual and I don’t know why but I felt like I had a lot more energy today. Today in sparring class I tried something different today instead of looking at their tactic I looked at how they spar what they mostly do and keep doing, I look at their weaknesses and use them to my advantage. For example: my friend gautomng has a tactic of getting in close to his opponent than jumping back then doing a roundhouse to get a point. Once I looked carefully I saw he is open at that moment when he kicks so when he kicks I block and manage to kick him instead. Same thing with master Marcus usually he slides back instead of blocking so he is open most of the time and that is your chance to strike. Sparring was fun, I hope everyone...

The boys are finally adjusting to no electronics during the week since school has started. They REALLY love the Minecraft. Fortunately they love school, and their teachers, as well.

Pep Rally: Journal #41

Today is Homecoming at our school, so we had our first Pep Rally of the year. Unlike the middle school pep rally days, the bell rings when it is time to go to your next class. At the middle school, you just had to guess around when to leave. Some of the games were really funny to watch, like competitive speed walking between the students and the teachers. Other than that, my day was pretty normal and I am ready to get to the end.

Jazz and Performing Band 9/5/18

There are extracurricular forms of band called Jazz band and Performing band. Jazz band is Mondays and Thursdays while Performing band is Tuesdays and Fridays. They are both from 8-9 am and my parents told me I could only do one and I had to pick. I don't know which one to pick since I don't know which one goes on the trip to New Orleans. I'm fairly sure that it's performing band but I'll check after this. Anyway I hope to get the application in on time so I'm in the right one.

No School

no school today which was awesome.   A little tired  but was able to push through and get my TKD completed today since it was kind of a free day even though I had some homework and tests coming up this week that  had to study for.  I also wrapped up all my essays but 1 so that is a big relief.  During my meditation time today I was thinking a lot about how I have been a little worried about completing the black belt cycle because it has become a little harder to get everything done each day now that school as started.  I just have to keep reminding myself that I just need to continue to work hard.

Can finally journal: Journal #40

Today in Health class I had a free period so I did my homework and tried to get a journal in. The last few days have been a little packed with tennis and my homework. I am glad that I only have a 10 more required journals, but I am sure that i will do more. The physical/written test is in a little more than a week.

Yard Work

I started my morning my normal time(10:00) very nicely!  Of course that is when I got out of bed.  I got dressed went down stairs and breakfast was waiting.  Then the yard work began along with the heat. Sometimes it seems as though the lawn gets bigger because of the humidity, you began to sweat before you go outside!  But no one is going to do it for me!  I will wait until tonight to get some requirements done. Hope to see all in BB class .

Sparring 9/4/18

Today at sparring we had certain challenges to do. One round was only front leg roundhouse, while one was back leg round, and one was turning sides. After all the challenge ones we just did normal rounds. While doing the challenge ones we did a line method where we all get in two lines like self-D. then after every round we would shift one to the left. In the end I got 7 rounds and got to spar some of my friends.

I'm smiling for a day off and Michael is smiling because he lost another tooth. Actually, we went to the orthodontist because is has just been hanging there for quite some time. The Dr was able to pull it out with his fingers. Michael thought it was kinda cool. Now we are debating whether or not the tooth fairy pays for pulled teeth and we are REALLY wondering what he does with all those teeth.   CREEPY!

busy and long day

So hard to get going again after a couple days off from school.  I had a quiz in Spanish so that was not fun to start the week. Other than that the day was ok but long.  Was hard to fit much in today between getting up at 6:15 and going to school, Cross Country practice and then to TKD.  I did not get home till about 8 o'clock and barely had time to eat, do some homework, a few items for TKD before it is time to go to bed. Hopefully I will find some time tomorrow to get more done for TKD BB cycle.

I personally liked the drills that we were doing, they were pretty cool. Well that is were I am going to finish for today. See you next time.

Mario Bros

A few days ago I got a Mario Bros game on my switch, it's the classic Mario Bros so I know some of it but I'm still not very good. For example I haven't even gotten past the first world, while there's 8 worlds. My parents used to play Mario a lot but with my button layout they haven't gone past 1-1 (world 1 level 1). I'm getting better and I think I'll get to world 2 soon. The last thing is that I don't know how to activate 2 players so that's unfortunate.

Joy and fun

Oh by the way, last night was awesome seeing the Lion King.    Today is the day I start back volunteering at my church in the children's ministry.  I love doing this and I got a new age group this year.  Last year I did the toddler room and that was a lot of fun.  This year I am helping in the preschool room and while it was busy this morning it was good to be back.  I get a lot of joy being with the kids.  I also worked hard on my tae kwon do activities because I am trying to help make up for not being able to do quite as much last week because of school.

9/3

This weekend was AMAZING! I went to my friend's house on Saturday because she was throwing a lake party. All of my friends were there and we went on the jetskis and boats. My boyfriend also came and we had a blast! I slept over and ended up coming home today. The same people came over today again too. Gavin, Joe and I went out on the jetski and I drove for a little bit. Gavin is a really fun driver. He would drive over a boat's wake and we got so much air. My legs are really sore though from bracing myself.

Today was kind of on the stressful side because for the mandatory trip my high school is going on this week, they decided to make a change in the dress code only last Thursday concerning the length of the shorts that we can wear. Before it just had to be modest, but now shorts have to be mid-thigh length. Yes, I know this is kinda random, but the change feels arbitrary since what it was before was just fine, and my dad and I spent a good portion of the day trying to find shorts that fit this new dress code, and none of the stores sold anything that fit it since the shorts also can't have any rips or tears in them of any kind. Today I also got a lot of work done on essays; now I only have to do the white belt challenge, community service, and new...

Progress

Today was a good day to do some extra requirements. I finished my requirements early in the day, so I decided to do more as the day passed. I am making progress in the amount of burpees and pullups I can do at once, but I still need to continue training. I ought to continue doing cycle requirements after the cycle so that I don't regress again.

Last Pool Day: Journal #39

Today when I woke up, I went to go run so I can go when it it not hot. Then when I got back, I put up my training video and finished the rest of my requirements. Then we started to do a little bit of cleaning around the yard and in the garage. After we finished that, we changed to go to the pool. This will probably be our last day to go to the pool because this upcoming weekend, is pretty full, so I won't have that much time to go.
