Today was the third day of no school. I have really done a lot of stuff today. When I woke up this morning, I started on trying to see how to make a display in Minecraft. It took me about 2 hours to find the right video and to learn it. You may be thinking "Why are you trying to make a display in Minecraft? ". We'll let just say I am doing a big project. I am trying to make a 5x5 pixel printer display, and maybe a computer later on. After that, I started building the display in various designs, like a striped display where if the first line is off, the next line turns on, and it alternates to make 5 lines. After that, I worked on some binary counters. If you don't know what binary is, it is a counting language only using 0 and 1, making...

I was able to get a good amount of work done today. Today was a remote learning so I spent most of the day doing class work. I was also able to briefly help out during testing and I also got in a mentee session at the same time. Good work today, hoping this continues.

Today was less boring I guess. I woke up feeling better, so I did a lot of work because I had to catch up on some work that I didn't do for the remote learning thingy. Later today I went to taekwondo, when I got home I ate dinner then did my requirements. CYA

Today was another remote school day. I finished all of my work pretty early so I had time to chill. I did my requirements and then made potato salad for my family.  Then I went for another icey run. Today was much better ice wise and I didn’t slip :) After my run I get to KT briefly and helped out with a class. Then we rushed home in order to make it to another Davidson college women’s basketball game. They played against George Mason (who is undefeated) and unfortunately lost. But that’s okay… you can’t win every time. Tomorrow we have a 2 hour delay before school so I’m happy about that. See some of you tomorrow for sparring!

Today was a remote learning so most of the day I was completing assignments online which took a good bit. Then I volunteered from 1-3 at the crisis assistance ministry with my family in uptown charlotte. After I came home and worked on forms, self defence, and physical requirements. I then went to sparring class and BBC.

Today was a remote day so it was pretty easy. I did feel pretty under the weather tho so I did a lot of resting today, but my tempature is back to normal so I should be fine for school tomorrow. I also finished my book today so I hope to get started on the one pager tomorrow. Hopefully I’m well enough to help with testing tomorrow.

We returned back to school today, and it wasn't too much. After that I went to KT and assisted with a class. After I had a mentee session. I went back home and finished my homeworks and my requirements. I'm now studying for my exams this Friday and my science olympiad events for Saturday.

did my school work  from home and played on my trampoline with my sister and went to taekwondo class tonight. I started my digital detox today with no electronics. 

Title is deceiving sorry; nothing wacky today I just liked how it sounded lol! Unlike many of you, I had school today. It was nice to get back to a regular schedule but also tiring to wake up early again. At least we only have 2 days left in the week! School was ok, I have an English presentation tomorrow on Elie Wiesel, he is a really cool person if you want to look him up! I got home and went for a run, 2.81 miles, no slips today! Finished the rest of my requirements and relaxing the rest of tonight. Also, shoutout to Lucas for a really cool journal yesterday! Have a great rest of your week everyone! ~ Peyton

I woke up relatively early today. I immediately knocked out my run before I did anything else. Once I cooled down, I continued to complete the rest of my requirements. After I was done working out, I logged on to my school computer to see what needed to be done. I probably spent 3 solid hours completing assignments, listening to lectures, and taking notes. After all of that was said and done, I did not do much for the rest of my day. I hope The roads are good enough to get to school tomorrow.

Woke up to another day of remote learning for my kid.  Trying to work, teach, and workout during the day is getting the best of me.  I hope CMS goes back to school tomorrow so I can get back to normal.

Today was not a good day. I woke up this morning with a headache so after I ate breakfast, I went back to bed. I was able to make it to class tonight and worked out, but I wasn't feeling my best. I hope things are better tomorrow.

Today was a good day went to class and helped out we were practicing are breaking techniques and reviewing for testing i did not realize we were that close to color belt testing i need to see who's testing for bo cho dan i think only two people anyways peace

School was canceled again which is good. So went went around with my dad then I got a haircut. Then I went to the gym.

With the weather getting colder our neighborhood road froze over again. Since its a gravel road it didn't get any treatment so it was extra icy today. I almost slipped multiple times and practiced sliding while running. We had regular classes tonight which I enjoy especially since I always teach on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

Today was a pretty good day for requirements . I managed to get 2 miles, and a bunch of more stuff. I also got a new pull up bar for my room which works quite well. The weather is also still cold but it’s getting better. School is remote tomorrow so that just continues my streak of basically not going to school. Good day !!

I'm glad the winter weather wasn't as bad as they were predicting but it is still really cold. That being said you can dress for cold you can't for hot so it's kind of a mixed bag.

Master Chelley and Master Hartle have been stuck in the state of Texas along with along with Instructor Shawn, his wife and son. They were supposed to be back Sunday but as you all know the weather wasn't on our side this week. We opened up for a camp day today and will be open again tomorrow for another one.  The kiddos all finished their remote work, games were played, a movie was watched, class and more games.  Thank goodness for Instructor Anthony and Junior Instructor Braxton...they and Ms.Melanie, stayed longer to help out.  All in all, a busy day at the dojang but a good one. Even managed to have mentee sessions, hapkido takeaways were the theme of the day. Hope everyone was safe and warm. See you on the mat!

today of course was again normal nothing going on today but i did have to go with my brother to get his new glasses and i also practiced a lot of poomsaes and some self-defense

Today was a good day. I did all my requirements early and even ran 2 miles outside. Tomorrow is remote learning so I get to stay up a bit later to watch the sharks game. I got some leadership credits today aswell, and a mentee session. That’s it.

Today was boring as usual. All I did was lay in bed all day, then got up and ate, then went back to bed. Then I ate then did my requirements, then went back to bed👌.

I first woke up and made a list of things I could do today to keep myself engaged. The things included practicing Taekwondo, meeting daily physical requirements, playing the piano, completing pending schoolwork, and many more. I completed all of this by 1:30 PM and then had a delicious lunch. I then watched some TV and did some random stuff. Today, I didn't have any classes to attend for Taekwondo, so I was pretty bored. I also went grocery shopping with my parents and got some things for myself personally. At 6:30 PM, I went to the YMCA, did a workout, and reached home at around 8:30. Tomorrow, I will try to help out with the Color-Belt Testing for the Harrisburg Dojang, and I am happy that we have a remote-learning day tomorrow, so I can work in my pajamas. Bye

Last night for some reason I could not fall asleep. And because of that, I woke up very tired. About 30 minutes after I woke up, I started on my game. The game is progressing good, but every time I got an error message and I changed the code, I got the same error or a new one. I worked on that for about an hour. After I stopped working on the game, I did my poomsae and self-defense. I totally forgot that I had an appointment, so we rushed over there. After that, we got Panda Express for lunch; I got orange chicken with chow mien. From there my mom dropped me off at taekwondo. I helped out with the juniors, did my requirements during the next 2 classes, then took the senior's class. I asked to lead the punches and kicks, which I was able to do. I like...

Today was a chill day.  I played the game a lot with my friends.  I did a lot of workouts and my muscles are feeling tight.  

Today was a good day. I felt good finally getting out of the house although I still dont have school tomorrow. I practiced Taekwondo most of the day and got my physical requirements done although still not the mile. After I went to help out with the 6:15-7:00 class where I was able to lead warm ups.

Pretty normal day today.  Harrisburg dojang was open for all classes.  Requirements done, classes taught.   We have belt testing tomorrow and Thursday, so looking forward to seeing all of the students progressing.  Have a good night, everyone.

Today we had elearning which was fun and easy. During elearning I got some requirements done. After a little bit I went to TKD where I helped with two classes and had a mentee session afterwards. Then I got home and just had dinner. Now just relaxing on my bed reading and studying.

Today was pretty good. We had a remote day at school, which was very easy and quick. Then I did the requirements. For the rest of the day we just chilled. We  went to TKD, which was good and we got some stuff done! There’s is another remote day tomorrow! Now we are having a snack and relaxing. :)  

Pretty productive day. I was able to work on some curriculum and go lifting on the same day. Usually I don’t have time for both, but today I did! Also got some Dairi-O’s, which tasted super good. Hoping this 5 day weekend continues to grow.

Today was a remote day for school. I had pretty much all of my work done by 12. Then I did my requirements and watched some TV. After that I went for a run in the ice. It was actually much harder today now that everything had frozen over again. I slipped once but it wasn’t that bad. After running I went to KT to make up some stuff that I missed because of the Monday closure. School is remote again tomorrow for me so I get to stay up late and sleep in! Overall today was pretty uneventful :)

My school got called off again tomorrow. Its comical that 2 inches of snow / ice will completely wreck school systems for half the week. States in the north often get multiple inches of snow and they still commute to work and school like any other regular day. I spent a lot of my time today trying to clear ice off of my driveway. I never thought of how steep my driveway was until it was coated in ice. I felt like a penguin the way I would start at the top of the driveway to hack away at the ice and then make one wrong step and begin to slide all the way back down to the sidewalk. Without the help of the sun, I think my driveway would still be a sheet of ice. Later in the day I did my requirements. As I was relaxing later in the...

Today is Tuesday while my parents and my brother went to the gym I was given tasks after I completed them I worked on a mini project. Once they came back I worked on my science project. Then they both left for work I did my other list and played games.

I had another remote day at school and got all my academics done by about 11a.m. I started working on my requirements and then decided to go for a run. Boy was I in for a treat! My neighborhood is not very big but it is quite shaded and so there was still a good part of it covered in slippery ice. I just got off of my street when I slipped, fell, and slid on the ice on my left side. I know its really bad to fall like this but I put my hand down. And then I slipped and fell again on the same side! So I am pretty bruised up; my hand, knee, and hip have ice burns/bruises and are already hurting! But I did get in 2 miles so yay I guess! I'm going back to school tomorrow and I'm kind of excited to get back...

Day 24: A few weeks later... Today was a pretty simple day. It was similar to yesterday! but we are not here for all that. I will only be talking about special, surprising, and scary thing that happnens anytime. So from now on, I wont be talking about any usual stuff I do because its too obvious, too boring, and atentionless! So now, I did my marshall arts practice and found some food that we left for a day. It was not expired! So I was just drowsy most of the time and was bored! Have a great day everyone!

Well I got to have a sleepover with my nana since school was closed. Played some meta quest and hung out with her. Did my requirements and chilled. We do have class tonight so I'm excited about that.

Yesterday was a fun day. We went around walked in the snow I made snow angels. Then we came home I did some school work.We went to the movies and watched Marty Supreme. Then when we came home I played video games and went to bed.   On Sunday we went out sledding. I worked on my science project.I played video games then I went out and played with my dogs before going to bed.

Well with the weyi had the day off. I can't remember the last time I've stayed up so late.

Woke up saw the snow melting  so me and my brother got Dressed and went outside. Then I did the class for wensday. 

My dad was good I didn’t have school today so i plowed my driveway from snow and I helped the neighbor and I did there driveway for free. Then I went in the evening to gym.

We didn't have school today. I did some math and reading work. I also did some pushups and situps for my requirements as well as worked on my Staff poomsae.

Today was a good day the ice outside my house is finally melting also my predictions were right the patriots and Seahawks are facing off in the superbowl im hoping the Seahawks win. The halftime performance is ok im not a big bad bunny fan also not sure who he has with him anyways peace

Today was normal again but i did do one digital detox today without any screens for 12 hours straight which was kind of different than a normal day out of school but still was'nt really anything going on today

I had no work or school today in the morning because of the frozen roads which I was glad for. Got to enjoy another day with snow and work on some school work. We didn't have classes today but we did open our dojang for an hour and a half inviting anyone to show up to train. We ended up having about twenty students show up to work on curriculum, mainly because testing is this week on Wednesday and Thursday. 

Pretty chill day today. Woke up and had no school , which I’m also going to have no school tomorrow. I got my requirements in and also went outside where there was a bunch of ice everywhere. That’s mostly it for today .

Today was ok. Some of the snow/ice melted, but it was still fun to sled in the slushy ice. We were able to run, but it was kind of hard in the ice. I tried to make some cookies, for my new skill, but I didn’t really like them. At least my family liked them. Tomorrows a remote day, which I am happy about! Now we are relaxing and watching American idol. ❄️

Today was a chill day.  No school again tomorrow!  I practiced a lot today.

we had E- learning today… so while most schools had today off I still had “school”. I did finish it really quick today in about 1 hour. I made myself some waffles for breakfast and I worked on my essays. By the time I finished it was 5 pm so I had a snack and played some call of duty for sometime. After that I ate some dinner. But we have E-learning tomorrow also  so it’s gonna be pretty “fun”…

We had an off day today for school and we have another tmrw so I’m glad. I did actually get back to running today and my calf was fine so I’m glad that’s back to normal. Though since I can’t catch a break my throat is acting up so hopefully I’m not sick. I went to my friends house after all my requirements tho so that was fun. Now I might stay up late and watch some hockey if it’s on.

I played in the snow nothing much. will work on essays more tommorow :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Throughout the cycle it is so so important to take advantage of days off and building up a little extra cushion in case you miss a day or two. Since most of us have tomorrow off or remote it is prime time to get ahead on requirements and essays, especially since next week ALL requirements increase! If you're like me and dread writing essays, just know the hardest part is getting started! Getting ahead doesn't mean finishing EVERYTHING, maybe its just making an outline for an essay to build off another time, or doing an extra minute or two of something. Everything you do now, you don't have to do later! However, definitely be safe outside with black ice and I hope everyone can recover from being sick or injured soon! ~ Peyton

Today was a good day. I woke up and started on my packet for my remote learning day. It took me about an hour to finish the packet. At about 12:00, I hopped on my computer to play some games and coded for most of the time before I went to taekwondo. At when I was at taekwondo, I got mentored and I mentored a yellow belt. After that, I worked on my pull-ups, then I saw that some people were playing soccer in the red room and of course I wanted to join in. It was perfect timing because I noticed when I got down from the pull-up bar. I played soccer for about 15 minutes, then it was time to leave. After I left from taekwondo, me and my mom went over to the grocery store to buy some food. When we came home, I got back to coding,...

TODAY WAS TERRIBLE, now I have the flu and I was struggling all day. I did manage to do my requirements though so I'm not going to fall behind.

Today was pretty relaxed. I worked on some homework for school and made a lot of progress on my essays. I enjoyed what was left of the snow and did a little bit of sledding. It’s mostly ice now that it’s melting :( I was able to go for a run but I had to take it slow because it was so icey outside. School is remote tomorrow so I’ll have another 3 day week! I was bummed that KT wasn’t open but overall today was progressive. Now I’m watching American Idol. Great job so far everyone!

Today in the morning, all the snow on the trees had melted and was dripping on the ground which made a lot of the snow on the ground melt away as well. School got called off tomorrow so I will not have to worry about that. Later in day the towards the evening, the temperature dropped below freezing again. This means all the residual snow and wetness on the ground got turned into ice. As I was walking through my neighborhood on the sidewalk, I slipped and fell on some black ice. I heard it is going to get down to around 15 degrees tonight so there will most likely be the same amount of ice everywhere as there is right now. Stay safe everyone, watch where your walking, don't slip like me. -Lucas

Day 23: Today was the most mediocre day of all the journals I posted! I first started out with doing all my work since it was a ice day with no school. Next, I did absolutely nothing for the next two to three hours. During the evening, I went out for a stroll and it was awesome! First of all it was slippery so I pretended I was ice skating on the ice! Secondly, I saw my mom almost slip lots of times and we saw the giant pond frozen at the tippy top! Once I came home, I started all my thing like taekwondo, and eating and sleeping. Ok, bye bye bye bye. <:D

Yay, I have no school tomorrow. I can focus on my other priorities, like Taekwondo. The roads are clear of snow, but my driveway has so much ICE. Today was kind of boring, since I didn't have much to do. From 4 PM to 5:30 PM, I was allowed to go to the Harrisburg Dojang to practice my curriculum, get a mentee and mentor session done, and get both my leadership credits. I was really hungry when I came back, so I had a little snack. I then finished all my physical requirements. Bye.

Well, we survived the ice storm.  Didn't even lose power once, so I feel lucky.  A good bit of it melted today, but there are still patches that will be super icy in the morning.  Yesterday was a well-needed rest day.  I took it easy on requirements today.  Back to hitting it hard tomorrow.  Focusing a lot on my poomsae, Chonkwon.

Today was a decent day. School was canceled as well as Taekwondo so I mostly just did a lot of physical requirements, forms, and self defence to make up for that class I was missing. Its not ideal because two Mondays have been canceled now which is the only day my mentee is able to come however I asked someone else to come Wednesday which should set me back up on track.

I did e-learnign and studied a lot. I decided to do German lessons on duolingo (so I don't break my streak) and then do my requirements and start/finish some essays for TDK. 

Good morning, well I'm at home today with no school so thought it was a good day to finish my grit workbook and start that essay. Hope everyone has started their essay and staying on track.

Well I wasn't going to go running in this weather. Hope everyone is warm and safe.

Today was really fun! I first woke up at 11 AM and saw out the window and there was snow! So I quickly brushed my teeth and did everything and went outside. There was literally 2-3 inches of snow outside where I live. Then, me and my friends went sledding and it was really fun. There was this one big slope that we would go down. After that I went inside, watched a movie and then slept

Today was pretty chill (sorry i had to lol). Since it was Sunday, and finally snowed! I stayed home and did my normal requirements and pretty much just chilled since I couldn't go run today! Hope there is no school Tuesday as well :>  Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck for the rest of the cycle! Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷    

Today was great i woke up looked out my window and THOUGHT it had snowed but it was only a mixture of snow and ice but of course it had to be mostly ice so me and my brother went to this giant hill in our neighborhood with a sled and there was A LOT of people there going up and down the hill sledding so of course we had to join them and it was pretty cool and even some of my friends were over there so that was nice and after we got back inside because it was freezing i went ahead and worked on a couple essays

Today was boring, I woke up and sat at home all day. Later today after dinner I did my requirements I practiced the twirling at the end of double stick form 1. I have It down on one side which is my dominant side and I'm still struggling on twirling up on my left side. SO THATS IT

Today was a cool day. I woke up, then started to build some stuff in Minecraft. When I got done building, I ate breakfast. After breakfast, I also worked on a Lego set. It is a gumball machine but instead of gumballs, there are minifigures in little ball that you can build. I am halfway through the set. I also played in the snow a bit. Then, I worked on "GIMME FOOD". Again, don't ask me where I got the name from because I don't know either. The game has the basic mechanics done like saving local data, knowing when to move and show or not, and reminders. I played for a little on my computer doing that, then it was time for dinner. For dinner, I had broccoli casserole and fish sticks. It was very good. After that, I did some self-defense and poomsae. After all of that, I settled down...

No church today so I stayed home and looked out to an iced covered street and sleet is still falling. Instead, I worked on a school work package for remote learning. I was able to do some indoor requirements. I am still challenged with jumping rope but trying my best to move past it.

It snowed and iced!  It was so fun playing in the snow.  Sledding was so fun.  The best part is no school tomorrow!

There was finally ice/snow today, not a lot but a decent amount to cover the neighborhood. . Anyways I managed to do my requirements today and watch the 2 nfl games where patriots are in the Super Bowl and as of right now it looks like the Seahawks are going to be too. Good freezing day and I’m glad they canceled school tomorrow.

We finally had snow after a year or 2. But today was boring I couldn’t go to the gym or anywhere. But the good thing is that school is canceled tomorrow.

I didn't actually expect any snow today and was surprised when I got up. The peopel who watch the weather are never right about snow and I remember last year they had mutiple predictions that were wrong. After I got up I walked across the yard in the snow and almost slipped right away. The backyard is not flat at all and I did end up falling later on in the afternoon walking across it again. Its Sunday so I don't have anything planned at all for today.

It was a good day. I did all my requirements before I went on a walk outside with my friend and cousins. It was mostly ice not really snow but that’s what I expected. Then I got home and took a nap. Hopefully school is cancelled Tuesday too.

Finally some snow today. When I looked outside today it was so nice. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to play in it as I had to stay inside the whole day finishing my english project. Oh well, hoping I get to have some fun tomorrow.

Today was a pretty good day. It felt more of a rest day not being able to leave the house and not going to taekwondo. I got my physical requirements done pretty early on and worked on all of my weapons forms. Unfortunately I dont have a treadmill at my house so I didnt run a mile today but thats okay because I had made sure I was fine on miles before the storm.

I was so excited when I woke up and saw snow on the roads and in my backyard. This “storm” that was supposed to be super bad actually wasn’t anything like they said. I’m glad that the power stayed on and it was more snow/sleet than ice. I played in the snow all day today with my sisters and neighbor. We went sledding and made ice cream out of snow. Unfortunately today our hamster passed away though, that was really sad. <3 I’m excited to have school off tomorrow and hopefully we get a few more days after that too ;) Stay warm and safe everyone!

Snow! We woke up early to the white snow everywhere! It was more like sleet, but still fun! In the morning we made snow cream which was really good. We got a new sled for Christmas and it was a lot of fun to play with. We also played with our neighbor for a little bit. We figured out that there is no school tomorrow, which I am happy about. Hopefully it snows more tomorrow! ❄️❄️❄️

Day 22: Welcome to part 2 of this immense winter storm! Today, I will show you the effects of the winter and how we made it through the day! Today, I woke up feeling exited because of all the snow/sleet that was in our neighborhood. To our surprise, it was not very soft like normal snow. We could not even make snowballs out of sleet! They were more like sleetballs. Once I came home, I played a lot , plus, my dad told me I don't have school tommorow because of the sleet! In the afternoon, the good news was we had lots of fun and I played sleetball fights with my sister! The bad news is that the snow was way to skiddy to even run in. Once I came back home, I played some games, did my exercise, ate some potato fries, and practiced! After that I watched one...

Today it snowed so me and my sister went outside. We put my sister in a laundry basket and pushed her around the drive way. Afterwards, I sat next to the fireplace for hours reading and watching shows and trying to stay warm.

Wow, there is a decent amount of snow and a lot of ice. I woke up pretty late today and had McDonald's for Breakfast. I know it's not the healthiest, but I tried to get foods that aren't terrible for me. My parents also went to get Starbucks, so I got a coffee to try, which was pretty good. When I came back, my dad decided to put the Living Room TV in the Loft room, and the Loft TV in the Living Room. That was really time-consuming, so when that was finished, I had lunch. It was delicious. After that, I was watching the Football Games, and it was really exciting. Tomorrow, we have no school, and it's not remote, so I am really glad. Hope everyone had a great day today!

Yesterday, I slacked off on my requirements and didn't do very much. So today I played catch up, I did all my requirements today and made up half of them from yesterday. School is e-learning tomorrow for me so hopefully I can get completely caught up and a little ahead on the rest of my requirements. Watching some football and gymnastics on TV tonight. I'm on day 4 of no sweets and its killing me! I miss my chocolate, ice cream, cookies, and brownies already! Keep working hard everyone, you're doing great! ~ Peyton

I chose to sleep in today and when I woke up I was greeted with about 1.5 - 2 inches of snow.  Luckily this snow is great for sledding so I will probably see what hills I can find. I quickly finished my requirements and I ended up running on my treadmill. Surprisingly I ran my fastest time for 4 miles. I managed to shave close to 3 minutes off of my time. Once again hopefully everyone stays safe through the storm. - Lucas

So much ice it’s insane. I went sledding. I hopefully all you guys were safe and didn’t get hurt.

Waking up to "snow" was great it was so nice to see my dog and son playing outside. This is perfect weather to get some workouts in as we are stuck inside.  Everyone stay safe and warm

We are prepped, ready and charged.  I also stopped.at CVS and stocked up on cold meds and cough drops...because I have my first cold of the year.  After class and a mentee session today I was wiped so I will be taking the weekend off. Maybe some poomsae tomorrow....maybe. Stay safe everyone, I plan on puzzling, reading and drinking lots of hot tea. See you on the mat at some point!

Pretty alright day. I got up and immediately started my requirements. Later I walked a mile and a half with my friend since my calf still hurt a bit. Now I’m working on a 500 piece puzzle I’ve been here for like 4 hours doing it I’m almost done. Anyway that’s it.

Today I woke up sick.  Then my mother called worried about the winter.  I went over got her an easy start generator, took down her cloth gazebo top, filled up her car and calmed her down a bit. I'm still sick but I'm glad I could help. This didn't leave much time for anything else and I'm still sick. Here's to better days.

Today was a good day ran two miles went to blackbelt class it's super cold outside but no ice yet im not gonna lie im very happy for the small break because im going to a class everyday except Sunday this week also im excited for football tomorrow go Seahawks anyways peace

Today was a good day.  I got in a mentor session and black belt class.  I did my mile and it was really cold.  I wish it was snowing so I can run in the snow.

Today was alright, I woke up a little early to go to black belt class in the morning. We worked on hapkido take aways 1-14 I think. After that I went home and relaxed all day then later I did my requirements.

Today was a chill weekend I had to wake up at 730 ish to go to black belt class we did our pomsa and our staff form Iv done it once in junior introcters camp and I got it pretty quick then my monitor instructor Williams we did all the stuff I needed for my testing and then at dinner my mom and dad made the best food  ever seafood and my Mimi came to eat with us.

Today was pretty nice. I had sparring in the morning and I think I did pretty good today. After sparring I practiced my stick form 3 and taebek. I had a mentor session after and helped with class. For leadership today we did minefield and me and my partner passed every time. After I got home I helped my mom cook lunch. About an hour after that I watched the Liverpool soccer game and we lost 3-2 to Bournemouth fc. It was disappointing but it’s not the end of the world.

I woke up early and went to KT for a Saturday BB class. It was really cold outside so I did my running inside along with my requirements. I also studied for an upcoming event I have this saturday and for a unit test on friday.

 Today was pretty usual. Since it was Saturday, I went to the Weekend BBC first thing. After that, I came home and finished up my requirements. We went out for groceries for about an hour, came back, and got everything set up. Once all that was done, I called it a day. I’m really hoping it snows well :> Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck for the rest of the cycle! Thanks, Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷  

Today was a fun and relaxing day. It started early with Saturday BBC. I got refreshed on some hapkido takeaways which was nice. When I got home I went with my family to a Davidson College women’s basketball game, love rooting them on and watching them play. Luckily, they won! When we got home I went for a run in the sleet. It is so cold!! I spent the rest of the day chilling inside. I hope everyone stays safe and warm during this big storm! Hopefully we get Monday off of school :)

Saturday classes are my favorite out of the week. We have our sparring, junior tiger, and family class. Usually we get big classes for all three and I like having them earlier in the day instead of later. After sparring our older students like to hang out in our training room and like to play games and hang out during the junior tiger class. For junior tigers we make an obstacle course for them to go through and its always fun to watch. Right now got some sleet falling outside and its freezing, hopefully it doesn't get too bad and some snow would be great. 

Today was normal as always i went to taekwondo for a little bit then went home and prepped for the " winter storm" except it is raining but its frozen so i guess its starting and all i hope for is that people don't loose power and also hope for some snow

Pretty good day today. I woke up and went to black belt class as usual, as we did a bunch of hapkido takeaways. Then when I got home I ate and relaxed. Nothing really happened today weather wise as I was thinking the winter storm was coming today which it did not. Waiting for it tomorrow though.

Lately, I've just been really tired. Not really feeling myself, going through the motions and dragging myself out of bed. It was really hard to get up this morning and I have been falling asleep most of the day. I went to BBC, stayed for work, and then came home. After that I went ice skating for 2 hours, which was fun but I was barely staying awake for that. Came home, to just sit and do nothing. I haven't really done any requirements today so I'll have to make it up for the next couple days. I hope everyone is staying safe and warm. Fingers crossed that our power stays on! ~ Peyton

Day 21: The day of the winter storm... ...It is fear, surprises, terror, and most of all... ...Devestation! Read this journal to find out about this winter storm that could demolish everything... ...Or it could spare us. For now...! Today was a mediocre day because of the limited things I can do during a winter storm! When I went to school, I did my post test and got good grades on everything, as usual. During social time, a girl tried to knock me but I sucessfully landed a block when she was about to knock me. It was the same girl who was annoying me which I said in journals 15-20. Or above that. I also took black belt class in the morning and did a lot of exercise and poomsaes! I also bought one staff, and two short sticks. Once I came home from school, you all know what I...

Today was an early day for me. I woke up at 5:45 to start my day. I started on a Lego set after I ate breakfast. Somehow, I am blind because I started to prepare for the winter storm last night, come to find out that it said Sunday, not Saturday. My allergies were so bad last night and today, I can trigger epiphora (Excessive tearing or watery eyes) just by sneezing. When I fully woke up at about 11:30, I got on my computer to make some project in turbowarp (Advanced version of Scratch) called "GIMME FOOD". Don't ask me where the name or what the project is about because I don't know either, and an AI little thing that can help you with certain things. Both projects are not fully finished, so hopefully tomorrow I can get a lot of work done. After I worked on that, I went to go get a...
