Today went pretty well. I did a lot of requirements, and I'm done for today. Camille and I ran to the golf course and back. Last week I was barely green on poomsae, so I'm catching up fast. I may be able to finish early, but I really need to work on my essays. Tonight if I have some spare time, maybe I can do some research.
today i went to black belt and sparring Anthony was there :) but not for sparring it was fun i got a lot of stuff in but master Michel didn't come early enough to get a mentor session Grrr :( overall it was a good day
yesterday my parents left me alone at the house to go to myrtle beach, so i have the weekend to myself. i woke up early because i was getting picked up to do community service at the Bain Daze festival at Fairview park. i got ready, got dressed, ate some cereal for breakfast, then grabbed my stuff and went to help out. i spent most of the time carrying things, setting up tents, the stage, the big tent, tables, chairs, and other things like coolers and bags of food. then i helped blowing up the inflatable soccer and basketball stations. the rest of the time i just worked at those letting kids play at each of them. i did see the KTMH demo team preform and they did good, my friends had only good things to say about them. once i was done i went home and mowed my neighbors lawn,...
i just finished with class and sparring. when we finished me and megan went to dairy queen. yahhhhhhhhh
Last night at dream team class we learned some new grappling moves. The first move we learned was called the guard. The way you do it is someone is going down trying to punch you, you lock your feet around their waist and then you have control of them because you have control of their hips. We also learned another grappling move called the mount. The way you do it is you get them on the ground, then you sit on top of their stomach and no matter what the person on the top has a longer arm. It is really hard to get out of a mount position.
im am really tarred to day. i went to a party last night and it was so much fun.
im about to go to class in about 2 hours. im going with megan. we might stay for sparring. my brother went to an ilectronic class
Yesterday was not a productive day for requirements. Had a great day at work, got home and the intention was to knock out requirements before going to class. I sat down on the sofa for a minute just to unwind and next thing I knew - - sound asleep. Well I guess my body was telling me something and nothing I can do about it now. Went to Mint Hill and had a fantastic class. I am going to get this hapkido down eventually - -for some reason 12 thru 20 is all running together. Going to focus this morning on requirements then off to class at North Charlotte. Have to leave after class to get my husbands tailgate stuff together but hope to be able to work even more requirements in for the afternoon. Tomorrow night we have a 25th anniversary party so I have to be productive all day.
Today was the game truck night, at first we played dodge ball then the games. In the game truck I played mine craft and smash bros brawl. After that we played foot ball and started tackling each other. I was playing goalie with the ball in soccer and dived for the ball the person tripped over my face and now I cant feel my lip!
Wow, I forgot how cool chicago is. We arrived last night and today we went into the city. We toured the field museum and went shopping on the magnificent mile. My favorite exhibit was the one on bioluminescence, I learned a lot. We also went through exhibits on the pacific region and ancient egypt. For shopping I got to go to a big forever 21 store and a cool candy shop. Its hard getting requirements done and I'm pretty sure I'll get behind this weekend but it should be easy to make it up when I get home. Same for homework. Maybe I can write an essay on the way back.
Today I had black belt class at Lake Norman. I learned Wang Ho 2, and 1st Dan self defense. Now I know what I've been doing wrong and what I need to do. I need to stop bending my back leg on a front stance. Tomorrow I have computer class, then sparring class. Had tutoring early this morningbefore school, so I couldn't finish all my physical requirements. Came home and startedmission essay.
Today I went to black belt class and we worked on hapkido 11-20. I hope we work on it again so I can get the practice.
So far I only have 18 more of these and am almost done with every thing else I am writteng this at 10:00 at night but I need to finish these we onky have 27 days left so go strong.
Today I did a lot of requirements. I need to do sparring rounds and jump rope rounds and kicks and I'm almost done with meditation. I'm going to try to finish walking/running early, too. Tomorrow is the weekend, so I'll need to catch up a lot. I'm going to do a lot of research for my essay on the kwans, my essay on the white belt challenge, and check out my book for my book-reading essay, too.
today i was playing basketball with my friends. in the middle of the game i tried to catch the ball that my friend through to me. i missed the catch and it hit me in thet eye. i had to go home because i couldn't see.
Today I helped about at KTMH 5:45 class and got my leadership credits and got ,y leadership credits for the day. Then I took black belt class and we went over hapkito and some kicks. It is kinda fun getting thrown a lot. When I first started Tae Kwon Do I would have hated it but now I like it. TGIF EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!
today at black belt class I did Hopkito self defense forms and staff form.
Well I had soup for dinner – what does that tell you? Yep, I’m not feeling well. I’m stuffy, coughing, and I’m freezing. Luckily, I did my requirements this morning before work. So, I’m just resting and eating soup! My plan was to get a flu shot tomorrow so I wouldn’t get the flu before/during testing. Oh well. I should mention to everyone – if you’re training hard and not sleeping much – your immunity system is compromised. L Please make sure to take care of your health while you’re training. Get strong and stay healthy!
Wow! I can't believe that it is the end of day 53! I just had my last mentor session yesterday. I really appreciate all of the help that Master Cavazos has given me and everything that he has taught me. I hope that I can get at least one more meeting in before testing. I also want to thank all of the instructors who have helped me to learn my curriculum! I am so excited about testing but nervous too.
Today a baby came into black belt class and he was adorable. I had no idea that Master Hartle was a grandfather, I thought he was just a father. I got to poke his stomach and play with his feet. Master Hartle's son that came into class with the baby used to teach me TKD classes, I completely forgot about that.
Today was very relaxing. Did what was only needed for requirements and didn't force myself to go overboard. I had the opportunity to volunteer at a nearby Elementary School for my IB community service. It was amazing to see how much fun the children were having while reading books and playing on the computers. Now all I need is 39 more hours to be done... Tomorrow at Black Belt class I have heard we are getting the details to the demo thats being done at Freedom Park. Super excited to see what were going to be doing.
The end is so close I am so stressed with school so I am very happy. After this Is over I am going to take three year long nap:) so I can relax.
today was just a normal day except its FRIDAY all that really happened was i ran a mile before and after school and did my requirements
I overdid it yesterday. My toe was throbbing again last night and kept me up half the night. So I tried to be more careful and take it easy today. I hate all these requirements hanging over my head. It stresses me out. So I tried to do less that causes pain in my toe, but I'm so driven to get this stuff done that I prefer to be mentally tough and ignore the pain. It wasn't easy to stop walking after 3/4 of a mile, but I did. Sit ups and push ups don't hurt it at all so I will try to make up for the lack of miles with more of those.
Yeah it is Friday. I am also glad because I am feeling stronger. I still don't have much of an appetite but it is improving. I know I need to eat to have fuel to do requirements so I am trying to make the best choices to do so. I am really looking forward to Saturday Black Belt class as always but especially since I missed class last night at South Charlotte.
Today I went to the first Ridge Road Ravens football game. It was interesting but I had to miss Mock Trials. I was pretty mad about that because you can only miss one practice. Anyways while I was waiting for my parents after school (I did not know that I was going to Mock Trial Today), I started walking around and apparently I got in a mile, plus a half mile for walking around this morning. Then I went to Tae Kwon Do, (Don't ask me who won because I left early). At Tae Kwon Do we worked on self defense, so I need to practice it, ALOT! Then I went home, finished my requirements and did my homework. Who knew this could be so hard because I have a ton of homework and a TEST TOMMOROW! On top of that my legs are really sore from working hard in Black...
Today I was at TKD for 3 hours doing requirements and some extra! Also I did my men-ti meeting. We worked on rolls self defense and hook kicks. After that I had black belt class. We worked on self defense so we could memorize them for the black belt test. When I got home I had to play the cello for 30 minutes.
Had projects for school to do, so I'll need to go to black belt class in lake Norman tomorrow. Did my homework and some extra physicals. My push ups are definitely getting easier. The cycle is not easy, trying to find time to get it all done.
Today I made my first cartoon. It was called MAGIC! My friends and I play a card game called Magic and I love it. I did a fantastic job on the cartoon drawings and it had a great story line too. I was so excited to bring it home and show my parents. I tucked it safely away in my jacket, then I lost my jacket and my lunch box after lunch! I looked everywhere and it did not show up! I hope to find it at school tomorrow, it made me really sad.
Today I went to class and I got a lot of my push up and sit up requirements done. I was planning on going to black belt class but I was tired so I decided to stay home and work on my requirements.
This week has had it's up & downs and looking forward to a great weekend. Finding the balance between work, domestics and catching up to everyone else. It's all good and I will get there. After work, off to the dojang to work on requirements, then helped with the little tigers, they just crack me up, lead warm-ups for them then lead warm ups & punching for the adult class. Great class tonight!!!! Sometimes it's not just about warming up, learning and execution of techniques but it's thinking about what you are doing and trying to articulate it. That was a good one Inst. Hsin & Master Moon!!! Luckily for me if I write the motions down, in my strange way, I can absorb better than watching a video. It's all about trying something new and finding what works for you. No right and wrong everyone learns differently. Panthers home this week so have...
today i worked only on poomsaes. every 3 poomsaes i did i did 30 pushups. i was really tired before i started so now i am extra tired. but i am happy for my brother because he had his first school football game today.
Today I had a sparring class at the Mint Hill location. We did drills and sparring. Today I had no homework because I finished it at school, so I was able to do a lot of requirements. It's definitely been a tiring day, but tomorrow I need to do more so I can catch up and get ahead. I'm going to try to get ahead on walking for right now.
today i got a mentor session leader ship credit 1 and 2 today i worked on self defense red high red and knife
It feels like my sto.atch has riped open and my arms have given out but I am still going on
Sparring at my school is really fun because I have a very awesome sparring teacher. It is Marcus and he has very fun sparring lasses with ladder drills and tag team.
The theme for the day, is "do what I can"...and not hurt myself further. I iced my toe several times today and did everything with care on my right foot. Pivoting on the heel of my foot slowly to avoid putting pressure on my toe, jump roping on my left foot only, etc. I can't wear any kind of shoe yet, but it is better. Heal toe, heal... Today I had a lot of thinking work to do so I got some extra requirements in while thinking through things.
Today I had my regular class. In the class we did 180 push ups and 180 sit ups. So we did alot. We also ran 1/2 of a mile did almost all the self-defense, and almost all the poomsaes. We got alot done. Then I had sparring class. We did alot of requrements in that class too. Now I am finishing up my homework. FUN!! :(
today i woke up just like any other day, tired. i got dressed, had bacon, pancakes, cheerios, milk, and a protein shake for breakfast, then ran out the door because i again was almost late for the bus but i got on it. i slept on the bus, but the bus driver kept switching the lights on and off but leaving the light on so it was hard to sleep. in first block we did an activity where we pretended one side of the rooms were solid color "cats" then the other were striped "cats", in the story we striped cats thought we were better so we didnt associate with the solid color cats, when the cats drew on stripes and joined us in being striped, we wanted to be different so we covered our stripes, this process continued. we did this until we couldnt tell who was striped or not...
I am usually really tired by Thursday (and today is no different), but I’ll be going to BB class and PMAA class. I think I’ve almost learned all of the knife disarms, one through ten. I wonder when I’ll know that I’ve learned everything I need to know for the test?? Usually after PMAA class my wrist is really sore. I guess it’s about time to go get it adjusted again. L I sent out some requests for donations for Levine Children’s Hospital today. I hope everyone is working hard to meet our goal. J Well, I’ve got to go get ready for class!
I really needed to be healthy and get some requirements done, however, my body has a different plan. I have whatever stomach or intestinal bug that Doug had Sunday. Too weak for much physical stuff. I can't afford to be sick. I have way too much to do. I will use this time to study my test and finish essays.
It has been a LONG day for me... I had a test in almost every class this afternoon and was up extremely late last night studying. Im planning on just going to a leadership class tonight so I can get some rest. I had to skip class yesterday do to schoolwork, so Im now just trying to get through today! Im still having trouble with my pull ups so now its all about building up strength and working on technique.
Today was very long. I had a lot of homework and requirements. I'm starting to walk/run more often, and I'm almost done with meditation. I can focus on other things now that I'm done with pull ups, but starting today, I'm practicing 8 daily or every other day to practice for the physical test. Tomorrow I need to do some more research on the kwans for my essay.
Today was never ending. I woke up fed the cats school then after school from my cello I got a blister on my right pointer finger. It was kinda heard to do puch ups with it. Then non stop home work that I slowly completed.
This week I had a lot of assignments an several tests. I have not been able to get in a lot of requirements. I was able to do a little today. I plan to do more tomorrow. I also will double up on the weekend.
well i had to miss classes today because my car is broken. we think its the alternator but who really knows. it is making life hard and ive only been with out for one day. i want my car back so i can go to classessss
Today, I helped out with Wang ho class. I really love helping out with classes. I like helping people. Took dream team too. We focused on kicks. That was cool too. Lots of physicals and homework. No free time today. I'm tired!
Today I had a little too much home work to do so I didn't get much done and I'm going to have to make all of it up.
Busy crazy day yesterday. Took day off work due to am obligation, ran errands then off to S. Charlotte. Picture day so lots of energy and thought, what kinds of weapon should I pick for my photo. Spent most of the day there and worked on requirements between parent questions and class. Today I got to meet with mentor and think I am finally straight, straight not perfect, on a few things but much more to go. Struggling with some of the curriculum but I will get it figured out. Almost caught up on requirements so I am a very happy camper!!!! All is good just keep plugging away. Looking forward to weekend.
I'm excited to go to chicago but it will be hard to get all my requirements done. I joked that I can walk the marvelous mile (shopping) for requirements. But I am really excited. I haven't been on a plane in a while, but it will be nice to sit and get homework and such done without having to worry, oh I should be doing burpees. I do have to get ahead some though. Sparring class tonight was good, and now I'm working on the written test. I missed my alarm this morning, but thankfully I made it up. Well, got to go pack now!
Hello sorry I havent jurnaled for a day my computer was not working and probably will never work again so I also have not been able to login my stuff gtg bye
I was reading people’s journal entries today and it occurred to me – it’s kind of sad that no one comments on any of the entries. Maybe Kelsey is right about no one reading them or maybe people read them and just don’t comment (like me)… I’m going to start making a bigger effort to comment. I think right now during the cycle is the time that people need encouragement. I know I do – and comments or private messages are a good way to provide some.
Yep....I definitely hurt my toe. Swollen and discolored. Couldn't run on it and even walking I can't put any pressure on it without a lot of pain. Every time I turned over last night I woke up from the pain too. Someone at work looked at it and thought it was broken, but it's a pinky toe so it really doesn't matter. I just need it to heal. I've been icing it on and off. So it looks like I will be walking a few miles instead of running the next day or so. I tried jump roping but based on the amount of pain, I'm thinking I'm doing more harm than good. I tried jumping just on my left foot, but then my shin splints were killing me. I will try again tomorrow.
Today was my day without Tae Kwon Do classes. I caught up on homework and I got to hangout with my friend. I had a lot of fun today.
I got a shot today, its required when you go into middle school. It hurt but I was fine, until I took class, the shot wore me out and n top of that i didnt have any water so that made me extra thirsty. Remind me to always drinks water.

today i woke up but had a slow start to my day so i had to rush at the last minute to get out the door. i got dressed, ate pancakes, bacon, a protein shake, and milk. then i got packed up and rushed out the door because i thought i was late, it turns out i ended up getting there right when my bus is supposed to come but the bus was 15 minutes late so i was standing alone in the cold for an extra 15 minutes and rushed for nothing. the rest of my day went better, in first block we took a vocab test on the words we have been studying and im almost sure i got it perfect, then we read more of "Kaffir Boy", there were some disturbing parts, i wont go into detail but i can assure you that you would not want to...
My legs are so sore today because we played some football and did drills for 1 hour and 45 minutes. and after that when i got home i crashed on the sofa...only to be forced to goto class and have master kim drill us
today i had to run 2 miles because i didn't run yesterday i also went to dream team we worked on handstands outside in and inside out kicks last we did 5 pushups sit ups then we monkey walked around the mat we did that 5 times it might not seem like a lot but after we had cramps
This morning my dad left to Seattle for my uncle's wedding. My other uncles came over last night. The best part is all I have to do till Friday is run,pull ups, and jurnle entrys.
Today is my best friends birthday, so unfortunately I cant attend any classes tonight because of her party. Im hoping to go in early tomorrow to fit in any Leadership credits that I can. It should be a fun class on Saturday because its at South Charlotte! YAY! Im also excited about what were going to be doing at Freedom Park afterwards. 0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false /* Style Definitions */table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para-margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0in; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ascii-font-family:Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;}
I am going to try to make this a longer jouirnal because the most recent ones have been from my Iphone and I was limited to a certain number of characters for some reason. Last night was picture night at South Charlotte and the place was buzzing with noise. It was so awesome to see all the students so excited about their pictures. We had a great combined class with the Little Tigers and Jr. Wangho. Each Little Tiger was paired with an older child or an Instructor for the class. It was a great experience. I saw Dr. Bill yesterday about my knee. It was feeling great after I left. He is a great doctor. For some reason it was hurting this morning. I am not due to go back for 3 weeks so I will see if I can tough it out. We worked on self defense and Knife...
I had another long day. I have a lot of homework to do, mainly for APES and HOTA. I got home and took a mini break, then I packed my stuff and went to work. It was a little chaotic because we had photos but it ended up being fine. I then drove to an orientation meeting for sunday school teachers helpers. i then got home around 8:30 and finished what I needed to get done.
i took off of classes today to have a day of rest. i am feel well rested and am ready to go. i actually had my first bit of homework from school yesterday, i love being a senior. im about to start talking to a recruiter soon. Wish me luck!!
Today at school, the work was a piece of cake, I mean oreos. I had a quiz which I got a 100% and in Math I got a good impression in order of operations. Then I had to learn about Good Vs. Bad and I started to think about when life is over should I be a Protagonist or a Antagonist. Then we learned about how you should be neat scientist. Last but not least I started to learn how to play violin, without the bow. I got to Tae Kwon Do but did not get to take class because I had Curriculum Night. I learned some stuff I did not even know. I got a hoodie too. Then I went home to count how many desserts I sold for my school and it was 14! I only need 16 more until I get 30, I have not even got my...
today i have a headache from practicing the same thing over and over again. i practice kuemgang, attack deffend, hopkeido and my self defence. tomorrow i wil make sure i practice something different. i will practice pullups and kicks i will make sure to do 600 kicks and 50 pullups.
Woke uP early. Did physical requirements. Went to school. Did homework. Then worked on my empathy essay. The essay was easier to write than last year. Putting your arm in a sling is a lot harder than being mute, so I had more to write about. I found out having only one arm is really hard.
Today in school for 1st block I learned about Neanderthals and watched a video on it. In second block we worked on b In being principled. I already learned that in TKD. In third block we worked on finishing classwork. Boring!!!!! In fourth block we read are new library books. Yesterday I did not get a library book because I was late. Thank goodness I brought my own book. In 5th block we played foot ball because its gym.( Foot ball) also boring!!!!!!!!!! In TKD I got extra requirements done because I got all mine done at 6 am. In black belt class we worked on basic forms for staffs. We also worked on our hopcito self defence and poom saes. And now I got all the time in the world to do whatever I want.(Are maybe 1 hour). Not Boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t really have much to say today. My body and brain are tired. I still have to go to BB class and then stay for PMAA class. (At least I don’t have to go to TKD Plus class.) I won’t get home until after 9:30pm and probably won’t get to bed until 11pm. The good part is I’ve already got my requirements done. J This is the time in the cycle where it starts getting a bit overwhelming. I need to remind myself that although this is extremely difficult – it will be worth it in the end!
I banged my pinky toe on my right foot tonight at PMAA class. Ow! Between the shin splints on my left leg, hamstring on my left leg, and pinky toe on my right, I'm feeling quite beat up. My toe is fat and I can't touch it without serious pain. I hope it heals while I sleep tonight.
today i helped out with the class before black belt class and took black belt class we worked on staff 1 and 2 and hopkido
Today I couldn't do all of my black belt stuff before class, so I had to do some before and after. I hard time with my forms. I couldn't square up during pal jung. I couldn't get my hands in the right spot for push-ups. My dad said I had a hard time focusing. I hope I can do better tomorrow. My dad is still proud of all my hard work though.
Today was just your average day on the cycle. Thank you Master Evins for giving us the class credits after the no electronics challenge! You are being very generous sir! Speaking of generous, while I was at a piano lesson, my mom ran into my old school's librarian at the store. My mom pulled out an extra raffle ticket for the panda and was about to write her number down for her. My teacher asked what they were for so my mom told her and she bought two tickets! I thought that was very generous of her.
I scored the first goal at soccer. We won the game 0-7. I had my first mentee session. It went good. I also helped out with class. Now I have to go do my homework.
Today I went to my normal class and got a lot of requirements done. Then I had a mentor session with Master Richie. We worked on self-defense and falling. I am not good at falling. Side fall and spin fall are the hardest for me. I am going to work hard to get better at them.
when i got home my cat was at the door wating for me. i sat down to do my homework. i was also writhing 2 paragraphs of why i think i should be in safty partol at school. i also was practcing my lines for drama club i am trying ou for sleeping bueaty.
Today i did my requirements at school.Also, i did Ta kwon do and a mentor sesion.
Today I walked and ran a lot. I didn't do as much as I wanted, but I'll probably get to do more tomorrow. I need to do essays and also I need to work on preparing for my neighborhood yard sale. Tomorrow I'll do some more research on the 5 original kwans.
today i woke up purposely later because i knew i didn't have to work out in the morning because i had gym today. i got out of bed and got dressed and almost forgot to get a second shirt to change into after gym. i went downstairs and i had a breakfast of waffles, bacon, frosted mini wheats, a protein shake, and milk, then i got packed up, ran to the bus, and caught it just in time because we had a new bus driver today who i knew would come early but forgot about it until the last minute, i found out many people missed the bus today because of this. in first block we spent most of the time messing around as a reward for being way farther ahead of her other classes in reading the book, we are on page 50 and the farthest any of the others...
Just a regular day of school and stuff. same old stuff nothing new, nothing good nothing bad. well i guess i'm going to scouts today and that's good but other than that yeah boring.
I just feel dead on my feet. Today has been nonstop. I had to leave school early to go to the doctor for an annual check up, where I got 3 shots. Then I went home briefly to work on homework for about 20 min, and I finally got the book for english which I am behind by 70 pages. So I have to read and annotate that. Then I picked up one friend to got to another friend's house to finish a video project due tomorrow. Then I drove my friend home and changed for TKD. Class was long as all monday classes are, but it was very helpful. Now I'm ready to shower, relax, and go to sleep.
Today I didn't get much done, because I had a lot of homework. I got a lot of classes done, and counted 3 sparring classes since I took the electronics challenge. Tomorrow or this weekend I will have to do a little extra because of today. I'm done with pull ups now, and I'm working on meditation, burpees, and random acts of kindness. I also am done with some classes. I'm trying to get done early this cycle, and not late like the last time. Maybe I'll make up for today tomorrow.
Today I had my first Math Olympian class. I was also asked to join the TD literacy class. did not get many of my physical requirements today
today I doubled up on sit ups and push ups. They are definitely getting easier for me. I am excited about the extra class credit I got from the no electronics challenge last week. Thanks Master Evins!
Well start of the day not too good!! Up early to get the run out of the way. Got to work to find my computer responding to a different world, the router decided it was going to have a mind of it's own then to boot three of our incoming phone lines down completely. Needless to say most of my day was not productive just trying to get everything up and running. Luckily had the laptop that I could at least remote for emails and communicate with clients. Good news all was running by time I left so let's just hope. Talk about putting a monkey wrench into the day - -. Spent late afternoon at dojang working on requirements, helping in class, leading warm-ups then black belt class & pmaa. Ran out of time for TKD+ but all is good we needed to spend the time and work on staff...
today during my mentoring session i found out that i have trouble with hopkeido 13, 14, and 15. i think it might be because i am getting dizzy from going around i a circle on #12. i also have trouble with #11 because i always seem to jump knee the attacker. i may have to duct tape my foot to the ground when i practice so i can grow on that habbit.
Im feeling awful right now. its just that sick feeling that makes you feel like you have no energy and want to throw up every 5 seconds. so yeah i only got some requirements done but when i get better i will try to make it all up.
Today I ran 3 miles in cross country. So now I do not have to run tomorrow. YYYYYYYAAAAAYYYY!!!!! Also I got everything done at 6 am so I dont have much to do. I am now going to do that every day except for the weekend.
Tonight we worked on our knife self defense as well as hopkido and other things. I really need to practice on the knife self defense. For some reason, it is more challenging to me than other things. I will keep working.
today i woke up better than usual feeling rested and ready to start my day, so i decided to work out. i did half my push ups and sit ups, and all of my kicks. i got dressed and had waffles, cheerios, a protein shake, milk, and bacon, a good start to my monday. i packed up and got to the bus really early and as always slept on the bus. in first block we did the normal warm up and spent the rest of class reading"Kaffir boy", i read chapter after chapter of gruesome and horrible stories about gang violence, starvation, digging through trash, sickness, and many other bad things that made my mood sadder. in second block we finished the movie about world war 2 pilots and the battle of Britain, then we went to a different classroom and he showed us a flight simulator where we can fly...
Today was a typical Monday. I had to work hard at work and I looked forward to teaching Junior Tigers, working with my mentee, and working with my mentor. I always learn something from my mentor! I also learn when I’m working with my mentee. When you’re teaching someone something it makes you stop and think about what you’re actually teaching, instead of just doing it. Most people will tell you that it’s harder to teach than to be taught! J I’m beginning to think about the end of the cycle…the actual test…and it’s scary. So, I need to stay in the moment.
Today I got a mentee session done. Now I know what it feels like to be a true instructor. I was getting kind of frustrated with my mentee today because he didn't remember blue belt self defense. He just tested for high blue and did great during his test. I have suggested for him to practice at home a lot. I have worked on self defense with him for a few weeks now! I kind of feel like it's my fault that he doesn't know it but I know that it's not. I'm not exactly happy right now. I have soooo much to do! I have a lot of of homework, a project due Friday, and to top it all off, requirements!!!!! Aaaaaarrrrrrgggggg!!!!!!!!
Yesterday we watched the Panther's game as a family. The Panther's started off great. I was playing my uncle in fantasy football and he had their defense. They got an interception, but at least they threw the flag. Yes and no! After the game my dad got me to try the third hottest pepper in the world. It STUNG!
Today was a normal day for me. Nothing interesting really happened to me. I did my requirements and homework.
I have to study for that test so that I can pass so I am studying so much. I have to do five a day for ten days straight so I can study long and remember all the stuff.
Today was a decent day. Had 3 hrs of conference calls, then did some individual work, then went to work out at noon at LKN dojang with Master Chelley. Got a the good news on the 3 wild cards...I'm definitely using mine for sparring class. I went to the office this afternoon, then picked up the kids and went to teach family class. Now I have a conference call for work, then off to try to roll out my shin and hamstring. The pain will bring on a sweat, so I will head into the shower and off to bed!
