Tuesday

One step forward two steps back but its all good, could always be worse. I may not finish all my requirements on time however I will finish. Guess sometimes things happen for a reason, have not been able to do much so maybe that has given my shoulder a chance to heal. Hope for a good night sleep and see what tomorrow brings. Main goal finish my running by end of weekend.

I'm exited tomorrow is a half day and then break for parent/teacher conferences... Yesterday's summery if my journal: we had our mugshots today (yesterday) and I looked really weird anyways my cat is so cute. I'm so random. That's it or else I'll be going into the future. I found out yesterday that Evan (this dude at our lake norman school) is pretty nice. Well anyways I don't think that many people read the journals. Well to tell the truth I do so watch out guys what you put out there! I'm watching you! Jk

Today was one of the: 'the world is sort of against me' days. 1: I had a dentist appointent , where they had to give me SHOTS, and numbing medicine, it was one of those, almost cavities things, and it wasnt my fault. They just grew in like that. 2: I yhad charged my ipad nicely to 100% the night before, and I did one of those like completely turn off, and I was in second period, I opened up my Ipad, I had only 1% for no reason, then it just died.It was kind of terrible because we do nothing without our Ipad. :(.but, the TKD classes were awsome, like usual, and so yeah! that was my day! ;)

sona, pool, peninsula, and davidson

Today my family minus my older sister, went to our new house. We're moving because my mom hates this niehborhood, (The Peninsula). Even if we move, i'll still miss the obnoxiously long Jetton Road, which is about five miles long. My brother, twin and I are trying to convince our parents to build a pool, they siad it wasnt a prioty, which I interprit as a "we'll get to it". I mean, our house has a SONA, so why not a pool?

Sunday

Finally starting to feel better so let's hope it stays that way - -I am done being sick - -no more - -enough. Unfortunately the weekend was knocked out with other obligations -- really my husband just thinks I am super woman and likes to put me to the test. Ireland guys are in town for golf so house full of peeps for dinner tonight and I am sure it will be entertaining. Just want to be back at full pace tomorrow, get things straightened out at work and focus on requirements.

It was a fun day at school today! This whole week, with the spirit days, has been leading up to today, the Homecoming Game! In school we had a Pep Rally and everybody, for the last spirit day, had to wear school colors, where juniors were blue! After the pep rally the rest of the day was very relaxed because it was also a friday! After school, i had to go straight to Black Belt class, so i wouldn't be late because of traffic, which I was in for 40 minutes!! After class, I went to the Homecoming Football game, where they announced the kings, queens, and princesses for Homecoming!

After school, I had gone to the gym, but I didn't get to go to Sparring Class today!! I was sad about that I had a meeting and had to finish an essay! But I only have one more sparring class to take for that requirement to be complete! I have also recently noticed many of my requirements are close to being finished or are, like pull-ups, which is really exciting!!
