Candidate Journals

It's always a bit weird having a Monday holiday off work.  Tomorrow's going to feel like Monday but it won't be.  And I'll have to keep track of what day it is based on what the previous day's class(es) at the dojang were. Today we got up and Gabe decided to make apple fritters with some of yesterday's haul.  I ate way more than I probably should but I didn't really eat dinner last night and I think my body was desperate for the calories.  We got our physical requirements done in the morning and started in on kicks, forms, and self-defenses.  We tried to make up some of what we missed yesterday while travelling but didn't have enough time to double up on everything. I wanted to make an apple pie but didn't ever get a chance to do so.  It fell by the wayside as we started working on...

So today we took my sister back to college and did a hike on the way. It was a 5.2 mile hike. It was hard but worth the view. It also helped me get caught up with some miles and also ahead with some miles.Then we went home and got wendys for dinner. Im very glad the nutrition challenge is over because I really wanted some nuggies. Im also writing my essay about it too. Tomorrow is another school day and I might finish my homework early. Goodnight.

Today was a really productive day. I spent most of the day going between doing requirements and reading a chapter from the AP U.S. History textbook that I needed to get read by tomorrow. I relaxed a little bit today, but I spent most of the day doing the opposite of today's purpose: to have a labor-less day. I went for a run around 5:30 today and ate a massive dinner. Afterwards I did more requirements and now I am here. 

I enjoyed being able to sleep in today. I went on a grocery run with my mother in the afternoon and then got to the cycle stuff. I think today was a well deserved break from school.

Woke up today to help bring a old couch to my sister in law and had a laid back day. Kept the day lowkey and caught up with my schoolwork.

I woke normally but did not have school.  I just played games today.  Didn’t do much.  I ate and did some requirements and I am going to bed. Pretty boring day today. 

Monday- got up and do some requirements. Still not running, trying to  get this plantar fasciitis better before I got out again. We had a mentor session with master Marcus this morning, that was good we hadn’t done much weapon work. I’ve been thinking about enertia, I think I picked this project up because Ive got a lot of eneertia and can’t stop doing something, I’m already doing an hour plus of requirements, why not just keep moving….I Spent the rest of the day working on my bathroom project, electrical is almost done, ac is now piped in. Next will be plumbing, but I’m paying for that to be done,    

Today I woke up and still was not feeling very good.  But I helped my dad with some stuff. I just stayed around the house today.   I played the next game I got in my Xbox.  

Tonight we had fondue.  There were marshmallows, rice crispy treats, strawberries, bananas and other things.  The chocolate was dark chocolate.  It was delicious.  Hope you have some fondue soon - have a great day!

Today i woke up and had chikfila. (yay) I did a essay then cleaned the bathrooms in our house. i spent like 2 hours on that then i ate and played video games. then we went to the gym and got requirements done. After that i came home, practiced playing my viola, and ate. After i ate i got in the shower and got ready for tomorrow. Don't really know what to talk about but i have to make this 3 lines long. I played more videogames and now i'm journaling. Okay i'm done now.

Today was Labor Day so I got to sleep in, after I woke up I had a snack and went for a walk. I then spent the day relaxing, studying for the written test, and reading. Tonight, I played with my brothers, had breakfast for dinner, and played basketball with my brothers. Tonight will be spent cleaning, organizing, and preparing for the week. Goodnight everyone.

Sunday- what should have been a relaxing day ended up being a full day of working on projects. I’ve been talking about adding a bathroom upstairs since we moved in and for some reason while I’m in the middle of black belt cycle I decided to start. Did our shopping for supplies and materials and got the former closet ripped to the studs. Opened up a new door and framed it out. It looks good but I am questioning why I added another project while I am busy with this. We finished off our evening with poomsae and self defense with all the kids.

Today I had no school yay, I woke up and went I went urban air and then went home I played some video games then had dinner after that I did my requirments.

Today I woke up and studied for my written test and I feel good about it. I went to a baseball day camp to work on baseball drills. I went running with my Dad a finished my exercises. I’m getting ready for school tomorrow and I all today was a great day. 

Good evening everyone! Hope you guys are having a good day, today was a normal day as usual... BUT! with no "school". That means extra time to do my requirements and not have to go through another math class. I enjoyed the small break I had and caught up on some stuff.

Monday has come and gone, and so have my fun requirements.  Took a slow walk with my pomchi. Since he limes to stop and smell all tbe smells, it took forever to walk a mime and a half.  It was nice to be able to get up and get all my stuff in before my husband woke up...2 hours later. Time to shower, chill, and get ready for school tomorrow, and to see my mentee!!! 

Hey guys, I got to sleep in and it felt great, then I made some breakfast and hung out with my brothers, than I played Minecraft with Magnolia. I helped her with building a secret base, and she showed me her worlds. I thought that she had cool worlds but then I had to get off, I ate breakfast and played a card game with my family, I hope everyone had a good day bye.

Today was different because of the holiday, of course I didn't go to school, and I got to play games today too. I did some Drivers Ed, and now I'm journaling but I get to play more videogames later. I hope you all are having good days and my day is pretty uneventful so, Have a nice day and see you guys tomorrow!

Today I woke up then I did some requirements with my mom after that we ate lunch and played a little bit Pokémon on the laptop then my brother caleb Had homework that we could help with we went to the woods and filmed him he got knee-deep in quicksand we helped him then I got stuck a little but I yanked my foot up we also saw a poisonous spider that’s all for my day peace ✌️ 

Today I woke up not knowing how much fun it would be. We did some of our poomsae with are mom. Then we ate lunch and our brother asked us to help him with his homework. Right then He said we’re going to the words to record something he almost got stuck in quicksand too . After we did that we came home and now I’m doing my journal. See you later.

Today I worked on two essay. did some requirements then was done 

I took it easy this am and opted not to do an Amazon shift. I want this weekend to actually feel like I had some down time. Went to the pool for a while, and did some requirements. I about to study for my GCP certification exam, and then finish my requirements later. 

Hi King Tiger Family, Happy Labor Day. I hope everyone is enjoying the day. Working on my creative today and catching up on some requirements. Been a productive day so far. Enjoy the weather. It is a little warm, but not back in the shade. Keep studying and getting ready. About a month left. Need to push on and prepared. Looking forward to the week. Take care.

Yesterday was my husband's best friend's 40th birthday party. We had a nice time and got to see lots of old friends.

I’ve very tired, I just finished 3days of work, I’ve been asleep all day, then I go back in for two more days. Exhausted.

Started the day off with some requirements followed by a nap. When I got up I did some cleaning and finished up with kicks, forms, etc, after that I went on a walk to finish some mileage. When I got home I did my German lessons before bed

Today we decided to draw on some of our banked time and went up to Hendersonville for the Apple Festival.  Sadly, the vendor we really wish would come back seems to have stopping coming; I don't think we've seen them since pre-Covid.  However, we did get some food and drinks and got some mileage in.  It started storming so we headed to the car and went to get some food.  After a couple of stops to feed everyone, the rain broke so we went apple picking and got more mileage in there as well.  We came home with a lot of apples and some treats and managed to get our physical requirements done for the day. I'm glad we've got (hopefully) enough poomesae and self-defense time banked since we didn't have time get to those.  We'll probably do a bit extra tomorrow but we'll see how things look.  I've got a...

Well, we actually made it out to the Apple Festival! The plan was to go to the festival then go apple picking at Stepps, a pick your own place we have frequented for years.  When we got to the festival there were some dark clouds, but it was sunny and humid.  The clouds decided that they, too, would like to visit the festival and brought their friends lightening and thunder with them! We didn't get to stay as long as we probably would have liked, and went to go find food elsewhere.  Mark's food challenge makes it a bit more interesting than just dealing with my allergies, but we ended up getting a rotisserie chicken and baguette from Ingles grocery store that worked for both of our food needs. The kids are tacos from White Duck.  By the time we are the storm had passed, so we went to Stepps. We...

Today i woke up and ate lunch. (i woke up at 12 lol) We went to the mall then cam home. I played video games and scattered my requirements throughout the day. I ate breakfast food for dinner then watched TV. My nutrition challenge is about to end which is good and i'm all caught up with my requirements . We didn't do much today so i don't really know what to write. Okay i'm done now.

Today I woke up and I did not feel good so I stayed home today.  I got a new game on my Xbox and been playing that.   I am hoping I will feel better tomorrow and the rain stops so we can go out on the lake.  

I woke up today and went to sail on the lake with friends from scouts. It stormed and then we had to go take shelter in a building. Now your all caught up good night

On Friday, I woke up, got requirements done, and went to school. After school, I attended a weekend black belt class and sparring class. On Saturday, we went to Pilot Mountain to go camping with our friends. There, I did my digital detox challenge. We had a good time. On Sunday, we had to pack up and leave early because of the rain. After that, I could finally use electronics again, which was nice. Have a good night.

Hello, today I went over to Magnolia's house and we did the walk again. After we made it back we played DND and we had fun, we also played fun games in between. Then we had burgers then we played more then went home, I hope you all ha d awesome days, bye.

Hi King Tiger Family. Well … it is September. Wow! I got work to do. All good. I will get it done but not as ready as I want to be. It will get done. Did get my thoughts on creative started. Tomorrow is the day. Plus, did digital detox part one today. Making progress. No class tomorrow which is bummer… but will get requirements done. See you this week. Enjoy your Labor Day. Take care,

Today I went to church then after went to Magnolia's house with Jack & Zayne to walk another five miles at her house and play some D&D. We kind of stopped playing D&D about halfway through and then started messing around. I came home, showered and watched some tv and now I'm going to bed, see you guys Tuesday! Bye!

Today I woke up to the sound of the birds chirping and coffee pouring. In the morning I went for my run and then just had breakfast and chilled out for a bit. Then we drove an hour to go to a mountain coaster in Boon North Carolina, it was a lot of fun. Then after that we went to get lunch at some dinner, and after we just shopped around. Now we're just chilling out.

Today I woke up and went to sunday school and we did a love language test but i forgot what mine was. Then we went home and chilled for a bit. I played some  video games and did requirements. Then I left for youth group where we played some games and did our lesson. then we had popsicles and played another game.  Then i went home and finished requirements. now i am chillin and am about to do homework. Goodnight everyone.

I hope everyone had a special Sunday and excited for a marvelous Monday!!! Today I got up and got ready for church and afterwards went to poomsae class. When I got home, I went on a 5 mile walk and played D&D with some of my friends. We Then eat dinner and hung out for a little while. After they went home And hung out with just my family. I hope it was a special Sunday for all good night.  P.S. Today is National forgiveness day!!! ~Magnolia~

Happy September 1st.  Little challenging today to get everything in and planned on going for my jog/ walk, then tbe skies opened up.  Sometimes,  you just need a day of rest and let it go.  

Today, I slept in late because I stayed up late to babysit last night. I spent time with my family today. We went to an antiques shop, a book shop, and got ice cream. I then called friends and had dinner. Expecting chores and relaxation tonight. Goodnight everyone.

Today I did an early Amazon shift followed by a Whole Foods shift. I went to the pool for awhile, then came home and did my requirements and stidied for a certification I want to get for work. Now I'm sitting here enjoying the rain, mostly because I don't have to water the garden.

Good afternoon, everyone. It's my last day at the beach. I saw my girlfriend, visited friends, played in the water, and completed my tasks. Have a good night.

Previously, I was using a resistance band that I can place one of my knees in to assist with pull-ups. However, I did not like the balance too much. The new equipment has two separate rest areas for both feet or both knees.....whatever is preferable. I like using my feet because I feel safer with that method. I wish I knew this equipment existed earlier....oh well. I completed my requirements. I do not have all day since I am working the next two nights. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

Good morning, everyone! I haven't had time to write my journal for a while now and have a lot of tracking to update on the website. Last week, we headed to NYC and moved my brother in for college. I got a bunch of miles in during my time at NY, which is awesome, but my legs are dying for a break. Today, I am planning on helping my parents clean the house and finish up some essays. Have a wonderful day!

Journaling late...opps. not having blackbelt class or JT class, along with the storm that rolled in Friday night threw me off.  Saturday was a whirl-wind of a day. Actually was able to sleep in past 6:45 and enjoyed my day of my requirements on and off all day.  My husband and I went to Petco and bought everything needed for my class pet...a baby bearded dragon. She is settling in nicely and will be going to school with me Tuesday.  

Saturday- got up for blackbelt class, it was a good one. Work with weapons which I haven’t done much of. Then stuck around and got a mentee session in and a helped with the family class after. Then we went home and I got a short walk/run in, I’ve hurt my foot/ankle somehow and am trying to not mess it up more.  Spent the rest of the day cleaning and prepping our room above the garage I am working on converting to an additional bathroom.   

Not really my fault though. The workers rebuilding our master shower have been flaky, late and slow so they've had to come on saturday and work all day from 10am to 8pm to make up for the lost time during the week. What a shame. Now i'm having some back spasms so thats not helping. Going to try to get some poomsae and sd practice in later though. 

No class today so I used the extra time to finish some requirements. did some overdue schoolwork and practiced my forms.

Since there was no black belt class this morning, I woke up and headed straight to preparing for my upcoming youth event. It was a long day so I didn’t get many requirements in but I’ll catch up later this week. 

Today, I woke up early for black belt class. We worked on staff and self-defense. Then I worked and practiced staff with Cooper. I then walked home and went to the pool and had hotdogs for dinner. Now I’m babysitting and calling a friend. Goodnight.

I'm just going to say it- today was weird in many ways.  One: no black belt class today.  I rolled over and realized that I had ten minutes to get my oldest to work, let alone eat, pack and drive to Lake Norman for class.  Guess I needed sleep more.  Two: I got up fully intending to crank out about 4-5 miles as I still had two plus miles to make up from last week.  I was doing great despite the knee being gimpy today, not even sweating.  All of a sudden the sun comes out from behind the clouds, the air gets heavy and heats up 20 degrees instantly, and my body went "nope, we are done".  I had to go back to the house, now pouring sweat and feeling like I was going to pass out.  It took water+food+air conditioning to feel normal again.  Three: the TOPS of my...

It feels weird to get up and not go to class on Saturday.  We toyed with the idea of trying to make it up to Lake Norman but we'd have been late no matter what given that we have to drop our eldest off at work at 8am.  And that's not even counting the invitation to do focused higher belt curriculum prior to class.  Instead we stayed home and worked on Cycle requirements and then did our weekly shopping. Tomorrow we're planning on trying to get up to the mountains for either apple picking, the Apple Festival, or maybe both.  Unfortunately, the food isn't much of a lure with the dietary challenge but we'll see what happens.  Either way, I think getting out of town for half the day would be nice.  I don't really see how people on the Cycle mange vacations - the one time we did that we...

Today I woke up and headed to black belt class. I then came home and started doing a few requirements. After that I did a little homework and proceeded that by doing more requirements. Afterwards I went for a run, got some gas for my car, and now I am here. 

Hello everyone, today I woke up and went to Black Belt Class and got that checked off, then when I went home I helped unload grocery's then I was able to play video games. Then when I stopped I made myself lunch and then I hung out. After that I watched a movie, I hope everyone had a good day, bye.

Today was pretty hectic, I woke up, went  to Black Belt Class and did some stuff there. Then went home and worked on my Lego set then played some Hitman 1. After that, I went to go pick out fabric for my Jedi tunic that my mom has offered to make for me then went grocery shopping and did some stuff at Goodwill. Tomorrow I go to church and then after I get to go and hang out and do some D&D again. And on Monday my friends want to go to the movies and hang out and have fun so I've got a busy weekend ahead, see you guys on Tuesday, Bye!

Today I got up and went to black belt class.  I stayed over since I worked today.   After work we had a cookout to go to.   We played in their pool with other kids there.   

Today was a lazy day and I was just chilling the whole day and did my requirements. Then  worked on my test and then had some lunch and that’s really it.

I woke up today and went to. King tiger for class. I did a mentor session and then I went back home.  I ate breakfast and then went to a cookout. They had a pool so we swam a lot. Now I am super sore and it is super late. I am going to go to bed. Goodnight.

Today, my mom and sister decorated our basement for my birthday party.  I tested out nerf guns that my school friends are going to play with.  After black belt class I went to a birthday party for a friend at school.  He's also on my lacrosse team.  Tonight I had chicken and rice for dinner.  Then I had delicious vanilla ice cream.  Have a great day tomorrow. 

today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then went to taekwondo and did bbc and then got A class assistance credit. Then I went on a walk with my dog and cat. Then watched a movie then took another walk just with my cat. Then I texted my friend she didn’t respond!! But then I cleaned my room and danced to some music. Then I helped my dad figure out the lay out plan for my bathroom that he is building with me and my sisters. Then I cleaned up a lot. Then I watched a movie and now I am done for the day. GOOD NIGHT!!

Today i woke up and ate a snack. I got dressed for the gym, did some burpees, and went to the gym. I did doible my requirements and then we went home to eat lunch. Then i played videos games before doing my poomsaes, self defenses, and kicks. I didn't do much today so i don' have much to talk about. Almost done with nurteition challenge. The week after next week i will be doing my white belt challenge. Okay i'm done now.

Hey everyone, I'm having a great weekend at the beach. I'm able to get my work done, have fun in the ocean, meet friends, visit my girlfriend, and enjoy the weather. Hope everyone had a great day.

I hope everyone had a super Saturday and is excited for a special Sunday!!! Today I woke up and got ready to go to the 815 Saturday morning black belt class. We practice stick and stuff form. When I got home, I had to help cleaning up my house and I played with my puppy, Fred. I hung out with my family! I hope it was a super good night!!! P.S. Today is National Trail Mix day!!! ~Magnolia~

Today I woke up and went to black belt class and help out the class after that then went home did some video games and then did some homework and did my requirments.

Hi King Tiger Family. Last day of August!!! Time is flying. I still have a ton to do to be ready for testing… but this is the push!!!  We will get it done. This weekend goal… requirements and creative! Keeping the goal real. I will let you know how it goes. Have a great long weekend. Use the time wisely! Take care. 

Today I woke up got ready for taekwondo helped out with a little tigers class. And then I did class today we did sticks staffs poomsae and self-defense. Then I got Home played on a computer for a little bit and then now I do my requirements.see you later!

Today Im going to do a lot of essays. because the due date is approaching.

Right now I am going to bbc class and I'm in the car. I'm going to do the next class and a mentors session with master Chelly. Then I'm going to go home and let my mom get some sleep and help with my siblings. Then when they go to sleep I'll go jog and do my requirements.

Yesterday went smoothly. I was able to do my requirements and headed to the dojang for class assistance and Muay Thai. Today, I had to hustle this morning since I’m working 7p to 3a. I thought about going to Lake Norman in the morning because I usually go to North Charlotte on Saturdays after a nap. On the other hand, since I was so exhausted earlier this week…… maybe this is a sign to give my body more rest and sleep in later 😴. I’m no spring chicken!! If I don’t go, I’ll try not to feel guilty.

I think the shorten schedule at school messed up the orientation of my whole day. I felt super tired when I got home so I took a nap, only to be rudely awakened by thunder. I headed to sparring class where we spun around, fell over, and kicked.

Hey guys this is a rewrite! I apparently forgot to title the blog post so the post didn't save! Hooray! Anyhow-sparring class was fun.  One of the activities was to look down, spin in a circle, and then try and throw five fast front kicks.  There were some who ended up on the mat immediately after spinning.  No judgement, because that was not an easy task.  At the end o class Master Opey and Instructor Max did some unofficial sparring, which was cool to watch.  I was glad the pouring rain waited until we got home.  Driving in rain is no good, because you can't see the lines on the road.  Hopefully we make.it to the apple festival tomorrow.  I'd really like to find a second flying dragon for the bedroom, and we found the first one at the apple festival pre covid 

Good exercise day today. Had black belt class that we did a "mock" testing which was great so i can think on my feet. Then sparring class which i was sweating like a pig. Good times. 

Heading to Mt. Holly to prepare for my youth event tomorrow so I decided to knock out some extra requirements today. Very tiring day overall with sparring, school, and everything that just adds up to the stress. 

  It's finally Friday - which means rushing from work down to sparring class at North Charlotte. Another busy day but this time I mostly snacked during the day because I didn't really have time for lunch.  At 5pm I gathered up all my gear and both of our jump ropes and headed down for class.  It was raining really hard partway through the drive and then mostly cleared up; it was very strange weather. Tonight's class was a cranked up just a bit compared to last week but it was a good class.  Instructor Max does a good job keeping it lighthearted without losing focus and stressing important lessons without stressing out the class.  After all was said and done and we were packing up to leave and we got to watch him spar with Master Opey.  Then it was time to come home and eat dinner and finish up...

First Week Of School DONEToday was the final stretch of this week for me, after waking up at 5:00am everyday im glad the last day of the week was the shortest. In sparring today we worked on how to use front kicks in more practical ways and how to add them into combos. We also did some dizzy drill where we spun around in a circle and tried to do 5 front kicks, and I ALMOST fell over. After sparring I finished up most of my physical requirements for the week and took a nap to lose the headache from class.

Today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I watched a movie and then went on a walk. I was not feeling it today my back was hurting and my left knee is being over used but I will keep going!!! But then I played with my dog and sister! After that I watched a movie which i probably didn’t need to but I wanted to. Then I went to taekwondo and did roles and falls and bbc (which didn’t feel good on my back but I was fine)But then I came home and went on a walk and saw my friend! So we hung out for a while. Then I came back home and now I’m done for the day. GOOD NIGHT!! 

Today I woke up I got ready for school then I went to school I had math testing I also had another test then I did my student Council I won then I went to taekwondo after that I came home ate dinner now I’m reading peace 🌘

They woke up go to school for school I had pizza for lunch. After school I want to taekwondo I helped out with a little tigers class did rolls and falls in a black belt class got home ate dinner and that was most likely my day .see you later!

I woke up early and went to school then I had dinner early so after black belt class I went to a black glass concert then texted some friends. Good night everyone 😴💤.

Today i woke up and headed to school. During P.E. iplayed badminton and basketball. I went to after school where master opey was just damping to have a mentor session. But before that i played some beanbag toss or cornhole or whatever you call it, and i practiced rools, jump roles, and spin, falls. Then we had sparring class and i got hit by the almighty windmill. Okay i'm done now.

Today I woke up this morning and went to school. At school we learned about how the digestive system works and how it affects our body. Then I went running and finished my exercises. I had a good week at school. 

Hope everyone had a fantastic Friday and is excited for a super Saturday!!! Today I went to school and Did Dodgeball and PE. When I got off the bus, me and my mom went to get her allergy shots and then I run back home because we forgot my taekwondo pants! Afterwards, we went to Barnes and Noble and when we finished headed on over to Friday black belt class. When I got home, I ate dinner and hung out with my family! I hope it was a fantastic Friday for all and everyone is excited for memorial day weekend good night!!! P.S. Today is National Marshmallow day!!!  ~Magnolia~

Today was a good and rainy day because today at school I got my test back and got 100%. Also we did math outside which was so much fun. Also during taekwondo I was so exhausted that when I was done my legs hurt. After that I was supposed to go to the run but couldn’t because of the rain.  

Happy Friday. Tonight I went to sparring. I'm still not a fan, I don't like being hit in the head, I don't like the idea that being hit in the head is even allowed or 'ok.'  Storm is rolling in which means barometric pressure change, headach, ect..... Night all

Today was pretty routine so I won't talk about it a whole lot. After though, our Dad picked us up instead of our Mom so that was different but cool. I got home and did some homework and did my exercises at TKD and got a mentor session in and finished learning staff form 2. Anyway, I'm going to watch a movie and that's why I kept it brief, see you guys early tomorrow! Bye!

Today I did a 3:15am Amazon shift, then came home and did some requirements, then at work, I managed to finally complete a component that I've been working on for awhile. Just in time to relax for three days. Went to Black Belt class tonight, and plan on going again in the am.

Today, I woke up and went to school. I played basketball and had a bunch of quizzes and a unit test. I then went home and walked to TKD and took black belt class and we did staff and study guide. Then, I walked home and had dinner. Looking forward to a night of chores and relaxation. Goodnight.

Today was an amazing day. We stayed at a condo in Topsail, NC for the weekend. I completed most of my work requirements here and had a lot of fun. I hope you had a good day too.

Hello everybody, today I went to school and did everything and I am going to have a extra long weekend because I get Monday off, but then when we got home I chilled for a little and now I am going to do my exercises, bye.

Stretched well and completed requirements. Practiced multiple forms repeatedly. All the taeguks and advanced forms, taekwon forms, double stick forms, single stick forms, pyung police, kick-punch combinations. Spent about 30 minutes just kicking, tornado plus jump back, koryo double yups, step in yup, reverse tornado, etc.

Training day! I’ve noticed that I’m inadvertently using too much chi. Even though I believe I’m moving cautiously and slowly, I frequently watch myself either squeeze too tightly, or swing too quickly and thereby either cut myself or break something delicate.

Now that I feel a little better I imagine it could also have been my body clamoring for some rest after going close to full throttle for 6 straight weeks. Starting to get back on track.

today is Friday and the last day of the first week of school. The first week was good, I like most of my teachers except for my math teacher because she seems not to like people that much. Then I'm going to go hop on my Playstation and play some games and then I'll probably go to bed after that.

I started my school work early today because I knew we were having friends over this afternoon. Got my requirements in. We went to class tonight and I did punches and kicks.
