Candidate Journals

Today I went through a lot. Asking up at 3 and still up just to show how much I've learned over this cycle. Even though I didn't break the brick, I still did what I had to do. That's what I learned in this cycle.

I can't believe tomorrow is our test! I'm really excited but also nervous about it. We have been training for the past 3 months to get ready for it but it always seemed so far away. This has been a great journey and I can't wait to start the next chapter after the test.

Yesterday during sparring class we did brakes and we also did some sparring but all the black belt candidates did no contact.

I felt like today was a very simple and easy going day even though I had a test and Quiz! They weren't that hard so it was goood! After school my mom and I got Dunkin donuts because we had a free coffee coupon and then I went to sparring class! Sparring class was also very easy going but I liked it!! And last I ended the day with no homework because I had none tonight which was a first and now I'm going to bed! night:)

Awesome night at S. Charlotte!!!! Did not get many requirements complete but all is good. Took photos while Grandmaster Lee taught the senior tigers and junior wong ho then adult class. Great evening and looking forward to a productive weekend. The meds are working as I am finally feeling human however the steroids make me nuts, well more nuts than usual.

Grandmaster Lee came today and his time at the Dojan was really fun! He was a super sweet person and taught us the correct ways that he knew to do things! I really enjoyed his visit to our location but I'm sad that I had to leave early because My mom needed me home at 8:30 today specifically!! Hopefully next time he comes I will be able to stay the whole entire time!

Today I hada great time at TKD, I did two classes with Master Lee, the first on was with all the LKN black belt testers, and in total, thats, 9. That is alot, and I am exited to get my new belt, If I make it that is. Anyways, Master Schnieder asked a question about good exersises. He then told us about laying on your back on the ground, hands on your solar plexis, keep your heels together, and hit your toes together. I did that with my mom and sister, just right now, and phew, that really gets tireing!

Today was sooo fun! We had Grandmaster Lee came over and in the middle of the class my sisters iPads rung and it was a facetime from Jacqueline our friend and it was pretty umm.... awkward but no one knew it was my sister ipad. Anyway it was so fun.we paired up and did blocks and stuff. It was fun and right now my mom, twin, and I are doing a foot exersises that helps you stomach, organs, and other stuff. We are on the floor right now and I'm writing my journal.

today I went to school and almost solved a rubix cube and then I went to TKD and grand master Lee was there and I did my mentor, mentee and black belt class.

Grand Master Lee came to the North Charlotte location to teach a class. It was really fun, because he tells stories and conditions us in fun ways. It is very educational when he explains how we do something and why we do it. I can't wait for next time when Grand Master Lee comes to school.

Today we had a very fun black belt class. We had Grandmaster Lee teaching. It was awesome. We learned some new blocking techniques, and he told us to respect whatever we do and to be sincere about it.

Yikes I have the energy of a pin head. Got to dojang and got some requirements in, not as many as I would have liked, helped in senior wong ho, worked with mentee then had nothing left for adult class so headed home. Dinner, stretching, which is my memitation time, then off to bed. Doc called in another prescription so lets hope that knocks this out of me. Tomorrow is another day.

Today I have to go to swimming. I havnt gone to swimming for like months because of Tae Kwon do and I'm probably REALLY slow.

I cant believe that their are only 4 more days. I cant wait until it is over. we are so close.

Today was just one of those, life is good, next second, life is terrible days. It started off with, my sister and I realizing that we had another math homework assighnment. We had a whole essay about a mathmetician. We quikly did that during our first period, which thankfully we had together, and we got that done. Not so much of the home part of the homework.
