We got up early and went to sparring. I got to do leadership and help out with classes. In leadership we played a fun game called Tiger Ball. I did a mentee session with Elena. We had lunch at Vortex and had ice cream after. I came home and we were able to relax the rest of the day.
A weird thing that I saw today was mints in a bathroom. It was really gross but me and my friend took a handful of them.
Today I woke up at 6:30am and went to class. I took two classes today in hope for leadership credit but someone took it from me. My mom was a little late to pick me up so I did some requirements. When I got home I did the rest of it and got it done for the day. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe. S3:E1 It was really cold out and I didn't feel like getting my headphones out so I just finished my run and got it over with. I am still taking any song ideas if anyone has any! I do hope everyone did have a good run today and to not get hurt too bad. I wish everyone luck on the cycle!
Another sunny cold day! Today I had early in am the weekend black belt and I practiced Hapkido 1,2,3,4. Then I went home and my mom made me a healthy and yummy breakfast. I relaxed for a while playing games and later I jogged in the treadmill 2 miles and did my exersices. Dad and I watched some Footbal. I am tired and I think soon I will be in bed. Goodnight!
Hello!! Today I had to wake up pretty early for Saturday black belt class, after that I went home and took a 3 hour nap until 1:00. After I woke up I helped my dad take down my Christmas tree, and then it was time to watch the Ravens game. Then when it was over I ate dinner and did my requirements and after that I did some studying for my math test on Monday. When I was done I did the last thing I had to do for my requirements. Have a nice night!
Today I woke up and went to sparring then I helped out with the junior tiger class right after. after that i got home and had some time to relax before i had to go to my Basketball game. My team lost but we played really hard in the second half and I felt that the refs were being really unfair because they kept ignoring the fouls the other team made and the girls on the other team were just being really bad sports but I can’t do anything about it so i came home and ate lunch then showered and relaxed some more did my requirements and now i am watching a movie with my parents. That’s all
1/20: Saturday is my busiest day of the week. All day at KT Harrisburg for sparring, assisting, class, leadership, and volunteered in the afternoon there. Overall a great day of getting things done and enjoyed class And my mom brought Sushi for lunch....Awesome! Now for a little down time.
Today I woke up early to go to black belt class. After I got home and studied a bit for more midterms that I have this week. Then I did my requirements and ran a mile outside when the weather was not as bad.
Hi King Tiger Family. Good day today. Nate had a track meet in Winston Salem, and I glad it was indoors. It was very cold today. He did very well. I did go for a run myself today, but outside and it was a little cold. All good though, glad to get some miles in. Then did a few more requirements. Got more to do later. Writing now because we have little lull in the evening. Just finishing eating dinner and cleaning up after. Got laundry running, and now writing this. We did have some time at the track waiting for his heat, so I working on the Written Test questions and finding all the answers. The test has changed some since the last time I took it, so getting ready. Some good questions on it. I found a cool free app for my phone where you can make flash cards,...
I am licensed to be nurse in North Carolina (and other states). Thats the biggest news of the day, but I just got those result 30 minutes ago. The morning was mostly requirements: black belt class, physical req, and I did some middle split stretching. The afternoon was spent playing video games. For dinner, I went to an all you can eat sushi and Japanese restaurant called Sushi Hana, 10/10 worth the money. Now that I completed my schooling for now, I have decided how I want to forward. My nurse residency at Atrium starts Feb 5th, but what else do I want to accomplish.
Today I got up and went to the usual 9:00 am sparring class. After I stayed to help out with jr. tigers, take a regular class and leadership. We played a round of tiger ball and I got out right before the last 2 mins. Of course when I got home I was extremely tired and finished requirements and winded down 2 hours. Then i had to work on a school project. After that I just relaxed for the rest of the day.
This morning I woke up pretty early, my mom asked me why I cant wake up like that during the week for school. I had breakfast and then we went to black belt class. I got a mentor session in and helped out with a class and also led punches and kicks! Then we went to meet Brien and we went to his Aunts house for her birthday party (I ate sooo much food). Finally we went home and soon we will have some dinner and then go to bed.
Today I went to BBC class this morning and had a basketball game I won!
Hi guys, unfortunately I don't have all the time in the world today so this will be a pretty short journal. The reason I don't have a lot of time today is because I have a sleep-over at a friend's house. I'm kinda supposed to leave right now. I was almost late to class today. I made it by 5 seconds at the max. But overall, today's class was cool. We did hapkido again which is one of my favorites. Ok, I'm going to leave you with a joke: What do you call a dog magician? A labra-cadabra-doodle!
Today I got up early to go to class and there was a surprise waiting there, master Jason was back!! Later today we are going to a hockey game with two of my friends. So today will be really fun.
Today at school twe did a fun project. Then there was a fight and a teacher named Mr tartal stopped the fight. Then I went to practice basketball and that's all that happened
Another great class today. Kicks, sticks, poomsae's, self defense and TACO'S! I'm still attempting the pull-up, but I'm just hanging for now..."womp womp."
It is unbelievable how much work you can miss once school is in session-- physics is going to eat up a lot of my time. Today, after school, I took part in the black belt class and got work on various poomsaes and self-defense done. I also got some rolls in, which was fun to do! Afterward, I ate tacos from the potluck after the class. Now I'm going to frantically work on physics and hope it makes sense to me.
Today was a good day, we had fun Friday at school today and I got to hang out with all my friends. I got all my work turned in for the whole week and now have no missing assignments. We got our seats moved in art class which me and my friends are not happy about but its ok because one of my other friends sits with me. I got my week assignment done for art which was difficult and ive been working on it all week. Next week in art were making our cardboard structures into clay ones and im exited. In gym we did the pacer test and me and my friend Macy didn't do so well. On the bus on the way home me and my friend Rylan were gossiping again and then were singing the whole rest of the way home. When i got home my hoodie...
Good Evening King Tiger. Great Friday Night BB class at LKN. We worked on Hapkido which was perfect. It had been a while since I had done them and it came back, but refresh was perfect timing. Now Nate and I can work on it. I also got myself a mentee (Instructor Rob). I really do like instructing and helping kids learn, but I also like working with the adults. In some ways it is harder with adults because "learning" something is harder when you get older. Instructor Rob is awesome to work with and this may be as much him helping me as it is me helping him. I have been focusing on my 2nd Dan knowledge so I can instruct him. It is all good. I am looking forward to the remaining cycle. Have a great evening. Take care.
Happy Friday! Today was a pretty ordinary Friday. I ran 2 miles and got my exercise credits in pretty early. I also did 15 minutes of rolls and falls. Got work in. Jovi and I went to black belt class where we worked on Hapkido. I came home and made chicken tacos for the family. We played some yahtzee. Hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start.
Hell King Tiger! Today was an easy day. I had two quizzes and I got hundreds on them. I was happy with the Friday mood and continued with that same mood to Black Belt Class. The hapkidos were a bit challenging and looked hard, but once you learn it, you just have to tweak minor adjustments. After class, I did some pull-ups. I am now going to sleep. I will see the rest of you guys tomorrow.
I forgot to post a journal entry yesterday (but to be fair there wasn't much to write about yesterday), but I will say today was quite successful. I learned Hapkido 1 and 2, just now gotta practice and actually remember them this time. It was an enjoyable Black Belt class today, and I am very hopeful tomorrows class will be of the same quality. I am planned to try and finish week 3 tomorrow, allowing me to relax and have a free day on Sunday. I also now know what skill I am going to learn (Thank you Instructor Jen for the idea), I am going to learn how to use chopsticks. Luckily, my dad knows how to use them, so it'll be easier to learn....
Today I went to school, did all my work. I had tests in reading and math. Then I had fun Friday and I got to go outside. Then I finished with my tests and went home, but my bus was really late so I got home late. Then I did my requirements and I went to the new black belt class. We did these rotations and I got to eat tacos and I hanged out with the kids and did games and went home.
Today I had 2 more midterms which I think I did well on. We had early dismissal but our bus was an hour late so it barely felt like it. AFter I got home I studied a bit and did my requirements before going to black belt class.
Hello! Today I went to school and had a pretty nice day, at recess I had some fun but it wasn't the best recess, because I had nothing to do but talk to my friends. After school I did my homework, and after that I went to the 5:30 black belt class. While I was there we did hapkido and I kind of got left out because I didn't have a partner until I formed a triangle with 2 other people. After I got home I did my requirements.
today i did some requirements before school and it was pj day so it was pretty chill because its a Friday. my hw keeps building up so i don't know what I'm gonna do. i had practice and then i came home and did more hw and requirements.
Do you know the country Greenland? I hope you do because on some Dollar Tree maps it's bigger than Africa. But have you ever wondered why it's called Greenland when it's one of the most Northern countries in the world? Our story starts in the 9th century when Erik the Red was looking to make a colony - a successful one. People back in Iceland, his home country, relied on pastures and farming to survive. So naturally he wanted this colony to be green like the Icelandics liked it. So, he named his colony Greenland so that everyone would move there. Conclusion: Erik was a liar. Happy Conclusion: he just wanted to help his fellow Icelandics. Moral of the story: be more like Erik, but less like Erik. Do good things, but not by just any circumstances. enjoy your history lesson!
I tried to get my essay done and then the power went out so now I have to start all over and I didn't run today so I have to run two miles tomorrow so that will be fun. Then I went too class and had tacos.
I had SUCH a good day today. after getting black belt class and went to the gym for running and everything. I got everything done and caught up with yesterday, so everything twice, in under two hours! I'm really proud of myself! This was the last day of week two of the cycle and congratulations to everyone I bet all of you guys did great! I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe! S2:E6: Today: I listened to my music on shuffle today mostly because it was already 7:30 pm and I was really trying to be done there. Thanks for everyone who is reading this and I hope you have a great rest of your cycle! To Master Chelley: Thank you for the email, 80's kid. I hope you'll read more. And I need a little help with songs for next week, I'm open to suggestions!...
Today I woke up and knocked out some requirements this morning. Then I went to school and had a normal day, nothing exciting. My mom picked me up and I went to my black belt class. After we were done we had a potluck and after we ate I played with my friends. I also practiced rolls and falls with my friend Declan and then I came home and finished my jump rope and pull up requirements. I forgot to mention on yesterday I found out that my art teacher submitted my artwork for festival at the park and gave me a certificate.
Today is when I pull all my weekly requirements in; so on Fridays, I will review my progress. I'm using a running app to complete runs. I'm also try to do a mile run when I'm at King Tiger. The runs feel good, but I'm also still feeling very fatigue afterwords, and I'm do not feel like I'm running fast. The other physical requirements are getting easier to do, and I feel stronger. Taking rest days have help, even if that means I load other days a bit heavier. I do need to work on my pull-ups, specifically holding the top part more, I've been doing banded or rows. I want to go over my form and technique more this week with Poomsae's. I also have to go over weapons because I have not done them in a while. Progress well with self-defense. I've learned all the hopikidos require, and I'm...
Hello all. Friday was a cold and windy day. I mostly relaxed today but at 5:15 I had a mentor session and after that I went to the 5:30 class and did some leadership credit. Have a good night!
Today I woke up and did all my black belt things for the day I then went to school it was very boring today but I just went through it first period I had history class which all we did is make a advertisement about World War 1 then I had math which we just did nothing the whole class because she had nothing to give us then I had ELA, my teacher was out so we just watched a video then science class we just played games because she didnt have anything for us. After school I went to black belt class and did hopkido (I probally spelled it wrong.) 1-3 then after class I went to La Unica and ate rice.
Today I had a good friday because I got told who will be with me in the big 5th grade fieldtrip to Raleigh. And that fieldtrip will be the biggest fieldtrip me and the rest of the 5th grade students have ever been a part of. Anyways I had a great day because I only had a test in math and I got a one hundred on it, of course I did I am the best at math so I'm not surprised at all.
Today I went to school and did my MAP test. Then I came home and did my homework and went to taekwondo.
First I went to school. Next I went to King Tiger. I helped with class and did some black belt stuff. Then was black belt class I practiced Hapkido 1-3 with Praneeth. Then I went home. Finally I had dinner and went to bed!
1/19/24: headed to school and hope it will be a good day. pretty tired and worn out from sparring class with Instructor Max at North Charlotte last night. But I had a blast. Will be going back next Thursday as well. Tonight is black belt class at Harrisburg so I have lots to do after school to get ready and a birthday party to attend after that. Busy day!
Today was a normal day. I got up and went to school. Today I had a math test and got a 90 on it. We had a computer science showcase and my group got to show our weather forecast robot. I did the coding part for the robot. When I got home I did my requirements and read a little. It was a good day.
Hello King Tiger! Today, unfortunately, was a bad day for me. I failed a quiz today and I was sad because It has been a long time since I failed a quiz. Now my grade has dropped, but I won't let that happen anymore. Other than that, everything was fine. Sparring class was fun and I took family class before sparring. I just finished my homework and now I am typing this journal. I have a quiz in biology tomorrow and I will not fail.
Hi guys. I don't really know what to write about tonight as you can see from the title of this entry. But I've got to write about something so... yea. I know! I'm going to write about my plans for the blackbelt cycle. As of right now, I have not started on any essays or my skill, but according to my plan that's going to change. This coming week I'm going to write at least two of my essays and I'm going to spend time working on my new skill which will be... a surprise :) Now how do I wrap up this journal of nothingness? I guess I'll just say good night. So... good night!
I am very tired now. I basically did a lot today at school. I had my science club after school then I got home and dad took me to the gym and walked 1 mile on the treadmill and did most of my exersises. then i got ready for Taekwondo, sparring class. Good night!
First I woke up and did some blackbelt stuff, then I got ready for school. At school I had ELA, math and s.s. Then I went to King Tiger and helped out with a class then I ran a mile (It was my best time so far!). Finally I had sparring and after sparring we went home and had dinner. Then I had to do my hw for school real quick. Then it was shower time before bed!
I don't have much to say today. I took my state exam and I'm very nervous to get the results back, which take up to 48 hours. I'm going to finish my requirement and shut my brain off. There not much I can do but wait. Things I'm grateful for today: My kitten greeted me this morning with cuddles and affection.I went to my favorite boba spot.I feel stronger after taking a break on requirements.
Today my eighty dollar hoodie that i’ve been really exited to some was supposed to come and it hasn’t yet. I’m very disappointed. after class today when i got home i did my nails and am now going to right papers about step by step all the things you need to learn for each belt. it will be so fun.
I wanted to run outside today, but it was too cold for my doggies paws to be on the pavement. Later, much later, I remembered the old dusty treadmill in the garage under boxes of books. I cleaned it, plugged it in and ran .25 miles...pitiful! I also saw something jump across the garage, so I ran faster to make that one lap and I got out of there! I worked on poomsae's, planks and more earlier today. I'll run longer tomorrow.
Today me and my friends played Uno and it escalated very quickly. One of my friends had half the deck in her hand. Tonight I got to box again.
i keep telling myself im gonna journal after my homework but im always so tired so i missed a few days. to fill you up i got a mentee so that's great, it's almost friday and im so done with school. today i had a spanish test and i had no idea what was going on but it is what it is i guess. after school i went to the dojang and got an assistance credit and went to sparring class. i don't know if it's just me but whenever someone asks me to tie their belt i get so nervous because i haven't done so much that I'm confident with it and i don't wanna mess them up but i did it perfectly today. anyways after sparring i got a mentee session in with master weeks and i got my first pull up yayyyy. i got home like half an...
Happy Thursday! Got in a 2 mile run this morning and my cycle exercises. I recently did a buddy read of a book and my friend and I met for a long lunch to discuss which was really fun. Had work that is ongoing until I go to bed tonight. Survived another sparring class tonight. Good start heading into the weekend. Good night all.
Hello, today I went to school and we finally went out side for recess to day and I had fun. After school I ran on my treadmill, then after that I took to the 6:00 class, and after that I took sparring. When we got home from sparring I did my exercises. Have a nice night or day!!
I'm just jumping right into this because I'm about to cry because of how tired I am. I went to early class and got an assistance credit then did sparring class and got a mentee (finally). Today was a really successful day. After all that I did my workout and now I'm really tired and hope everyone gets good rest. I hope everyone had a good day and stay safe. S2:E5 Kenny Loggins - Footloose: I give this song a 4/5. Its a really good song and was the first song I danced to while running. I really enjoyed the song and hope you might listen to it too.
Today I woke up late on accident and then I went to school on the bus. When I got there I got to see my teacher's daughter. She gave me a big hug. Then I did all of my work and studied for my test tomorrow in reading. Then I got to eat lunch and go outside. Did the rest of my work, went home, ran a mile, went to TKD. I had a mentor session with Master Foster and a mentee session with Elena. On the way home I was listening to jokes on my phone. Then I read my book and went to bed.
Today went pretty normally. I woke up got ready for school, picked up my friends and went to school. Me and my friends finished up a project for social studies which we have got present tomorrow. After I got back I ate a snack and went to do my mentees house to work with her then I came home did my requirements at dinner showered and now i have to go to sleep.
Today I had a good day because my teachers were back and we did not have substitutes today. I got to spare with Master Marcus and I survived,...... It is a late night for me because I get up at 6am to get ready for school. Glad it is on Thursdays and not early in the week. I am eating chick fila for dinner.
As I didn’t get to go to school today, I decided to work on some requirements that I was missing, so that I could start chipping away at it. I also got to go to taekwondo today, so I went earlier than my class to get a mentor session in with Master Knight. I haven’t taken my class yet, but I am excited for it. At my dentist’s appointment, I got my rubber bands replaced with the colors orange and blue, and they look nice!!
1/18/24: Math test at school and a History quiz that were pretty difficult. Working on requirements before North Charlotte Sparring tonight.
Today I had my English final which I needed an 86 on to finish with an A. I think I did good but it will be some time until we get our scores back. But now I have 6 more midterms to study for which I also have to do good on.
Tomorrow I get to go on my snowboarding/skiing trip with my friends which I'm super excited for as it says in the title. I'm going to Steamboat Springs, CO. I get to wake up at around 2:30AM because our flight leaves at 5:10AM so yay... Steamboat is getting TONS of snow this year so it should be a great season for snowboarding.
Good Morning King Tiger. Starting my day with a journal. I got up like normal and had a normal morning. Nate and I did some requirements to start the day. Best time to do some is the morning. Then off to work. I had to drop our dogs at daycare for today. It went well. Now I am getting ready for the day. Looking forward to classes tonight. Take care.
It is such a joy being a part of the Black Belt cycle! I was happy to perform the crescent kick today without kicking my partner in the head. I don't think I've ever kicked that high, although in my mind I think I kick higher than I actually kick in real life.
Tomorrow I can't go to school because I have a dentist's appointment that is very far from my school. I will be able to use that time to my advantage to hopefully finish catching up on everything as I was unfortunately swamped in schoolwork today. In ENG 111 today we talked about how to write a narrative essay which I hope to use the information taught in the essays for the cycle! We also talked about Denny's and Wafflehouse in the same class period, which was interesting. We were talking about how to structure the narrative essay based off of a memory, and my professor came up with a fake memory involving one of my friends and him having a sword fight in front of a Denny's and a Wafflehouse.
Back to usual days. I woke up early so I did some exercises and played my video game for a while. I went to school 1 or 2 hours later. After school I went to my aunt's house to run on the treadmill for my mile. It was too cold to run outside today. I miss the hot temperatures in Jamaica already. Later I went to taekwondo class and let warm ups. I also did a mentee session and had another mentor session. Then I went home after stopping by Harris Teeter. I finished my homework, ate, took a shower, and now am about to head to bed.
Test, test. Um, is this thing on? Oh right, I'm typing this... ok, we're not going to talk about that one. Anyway, today something unique happened, which is why I titled this journal "Story Time". Our story begins at school. During our lunch time, the fire alarm goes off and this time it's the real fire alarm. Nope, it wasn't a drill. All of the classes head outside and I'm one of the many kids there thinking, "oh my, is the school burning down?" When the teacher came out and gave us the signal to go back inside, I admit that I was a little disappointed. If it wasn't a fire, you're probably wondering why the alarm was going off. If you want to guess, stop reading for a moment but I'm going to keep typing. Nope, nobody pulled the fire alarm. (good guess though!) Instead, it was a pipe in the...
Today I got double encore/choices and I got to play castle ball with a bunch of 5th graders. Then I had PE and I did reading and science. In reading I got to do book clubs and find my group and then I did science. Then I had a little bit of math and then I had to go to lunch and went outside and hanged out with my friends and it was FREEZING. Then I got to go to math superstars (for cool people) and there was a kid who was sitting across from me. His chair was a little broken and he fell backwards and hit his head on the wall and broke the seat off the legs of the chair. Then I got a piece of candy for doing all my work. I finished my math and got to go home. I played with legos and did my...
I woke up this morning and completed my morning routine as normal. However, my mom started subbing at school today so instead of being dropped off, I walked from the staff parking lot. I had a very long day of school because tomorrow we start finals and midterms so ever teacher is getting in last minute review. I had a JROTC meeting afterschool which was fairly productive. After coming I home I went for a run. I finally, after a few weeks got in my pre-test 4 mile time. Wasn't great but wasn't bad. Then I studied for my first two midterms tomorrow. I only really had to study for one because the other one is open book and we can use our textbooks. Then I finished up the last bit of requirements I had to do for today and got ready for bed. Now I am here.
Today I had to wake up at 6 am with is an hour early than usual because had had a doctors appointment. My appointment went well and I have to wear this really funky looking brace, ring, kind of thing around my knee because I have something called jumpers knee. Im still clear to do everything the same just that I need to know my limits a little better. Because I had my appointment this morning I got to miss the awards ceremony for school today which I was dreading a lot. When I got to school my teacher wasn't there so we had a sub. Because of the ceremony my 1st period was cut short and I still got my assignment farther done than everyone else in my class which I am very proud about. Other than that my day went smoothly. In gym class today me and my friend...
Today I woke up REALLY early and went to the rec center and ran 2 miles! Then I went to school. I went to my classes and then went to King Tiger and took class and helped with a class. I also did a mentor session. Finally I went back to the rec center and ran another mile. Then we went home and had dinner, now I am off to bed!
Today I went to school and my computer teacher said he could beat any of us in a fight, we will find that out on Thursday. Then we went to TKD.
Today I made matcha tea for the first time. I'm excited to keep working on it and trying different recipes. I really want to work on enhancing my drink making skills (coffee, tea, etc.). While I was drinking it, I find a few videos on YouTube on how improve the flavor and different add-ons. I worked on poomsaes using the Kukkiwon Youtube. I only review Il, Eh, and Sam. Ms. Suzanne and I worked on hopkido 4 last Saturday with guidance from the Grandmaster Lees demo video and in person guidance from Instructor Jen. I didn't think I could learn hopkido from reviewing videos, but after watching hopkido 5 today, multiple times, I feel comfortable with the steps. I'll still need to practice it in person and with an instructor for technique, but at least I'm more familiar about it. Hopikdo it not my favorite thing to practice, so learning it...
Today I went to school today and had to stay inside for most of the day, even recess:(. After school I ran a mile on the treadmill and then it was time for class at 5:15. I assisted in that class and after that I did a mentee and mentor session. When I got home I did my requirements. 😁
Pretty low-key day. Worked, got bb requirements done, took Jovi to the dentist, and did a family class at KT. Unfortunately, my mentees didn't show as planned so I'll have to make up for that at some point. No worries.
Today was really normal, struggling to get up for school, home alone for a little, homework. But after school I had a bunch of homework but got it done pretty quick in time for tkd class. I got class assistance credit and am caught up for everything. AND I GOT NEW BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES!!! I just got done with my mile, I ran in below freezing weather and breathing in icy air is really not the best for a mile, luckily I was dressed well. I'm doing this now with my lungs still full of cold air and I cough every time I inhale but I'll survive... I think, I pray that I don't get sick tomorrow. That was my day, I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe. REMINDER: I am doing songs for my mile runs and I am running out of songs to listen to. Any song...
Hi King Tiger Family! Sorry for not posting the journal for yesterday. I was busy doing my requirements and lost track of time. By the end of it, I had no energy to even open the computer. My requirements are definitely going to give some abs and some nice biceps, at least I think it will. My day started as usual: go to school and do classwork. Yesterday, I was in ELA and an administrator came to our room, and says that the schedule for next year will be different. Every change was fine until two changes made me frustrated. One change was that AP courses will YEARLONG. That means that the teachers will progress slowly since they have a whole school year(180 or 185 days) to teach a few units. The other change was that if we choose 2 AP courses, we can't choose any elective and vice versa. That...
Today my 4-day weekend ended and I had school today. It felt pretty weird because the school administration made some changes. Anyways, after school, I relaxed and got ready for class at 6:00. I asked if I can do Warm ups or Punches and kicks in front of the class but it was taken, so then I decided to do kicks down the mat for the first time. It was unsual at first, but I adjusted to it and it felt pretty good. Now back at home relaxing until school tomorrow.
Today I had subs in all of my classes because today was 5th grade planning day which means that all the 5th grade teachers stay in a meeting room in the front of the building and the kids had a semi-normal day. I also went to class and got some requirements done and had diner at "SHAKE SHACK".
Good Evening King Tiger. Today has been an interesting day. Not going to get into specifics but came into work today thinking I would focus on one thing and had to pivot quick and focus on something else. It happens. Just not expected today. :-) I finished work at home (working remotely) in the afternoon. My wife is substituting for a teacher at Nate's school so she was not home today for our dogs and I came home early to let them out. I finished work. Grilled some yummy food. Then my wife went to her real job. Got Nate fed. He is now studying for his big exam tomorrow. I am trying to be productive so using this time to write this journal. I do have requirements to work on. Looking forward to TKD classes tomorrow. Take care.
Pretty usual day today except for me being more busy than usual. Today I had quite a few things to do and my schedual being tied up from 3:00pm to 8:00pm with things like coding, piano lessons, and a youth group. anyways, aside from that a pretty normal day..
1/17/24: For some reason I am exhausted and the day is just getting started. Glad I only have a half day of school today. A busy day ahead and I need SLEEP....
Pretty standard so far. Doing a morning journal today to see how it goes. About 2 minutes till my class starts and we’ll be starting off the day with a reading check for our book “Things Fall Apart” (which I am not a fan of) from chapters 6-8. I’m most likely gonna pass and then be bored from half an hour of conversation about the lack of a plot in this book. But hey, it’s a good morning at the very least…….
Hi! Today I decided to run around 3 miles, which took me a while, but got me closer to being on track with the requirements I've missed. I had a day off today, so I took the chance to bake banana muffins and learn to make cheesesticks (at the very least, they didn't burn!). I also finished up some physics homework, and started my American History project!
Imagine a flower seed and all the rain, sun and nutrients it needs to grow. Now imagine that the sun is Sa Ba Nim always shining down on you. And imagine that the rain is Sun Bae Nim, sprinkling knowledge on you from time to time. Imagine that the nutrients are lower belts that help you grow as an instructor. Now imagine that you are the flower seed, and all of those things are helping you to grow and achieve your goals. That is what we need to do during the black belt cycle. Grow into the person you imagine yourself to be. - Matthew 2446
Today I woke up bright an early for school. It was a normal but tiring day at school. I then went and got my allergy shots, I am pretty close to having to go only once a week, which I am excited about. Then I went home started a little school work, ate, and got ready for running practice. Almost all my friends were there so todays workout was very enjoyable. What was not enjoyable was the air. It was so cold, I thought I was going to suffocate, but we got through it. After the workout I came home and ate CAVA for dinner. Then my girlfriend came over to do some school work and study for a Pre-Calc midterm on Thursday. She left and now I am here.
Very sore, will probably take it easy tomorrow with physical requirements. Even though I'm sore, I feel like I can see improvement with my push-ups. Today was a nice day with my cousin, we watched Hobbs and Shaw and Deadpool II. I got my car fixed and did some light studying. I had a mentor session with Master Nastasya today, we went through the color belt Poomsae. She gave me very specific critiques that I'm excited to work on. New hand positions, places I can improve my preps, keeping my head level with transition to different directions. I'm excited to work on the improvements. I really love Poomsae work. I'll work on them this week, and probably video tape myself doing them this weekend. I like reviewing them and seeing what I can do well and what I can do better. My Instagram page had become mostly martial arts content...
Hi King Tiger. Back to work today. It was a good day but a lot going on. I did get to run this afternoon and then did some requirements with Nate. I am writing this journal now and getting ready for bed soon. I am starting to see some progress on several fronts. I need more work on Black Belt level items but practicing as much as possible. Have a great not. Keep up the great work. Take care.
I stayed home because it was a teacher work day. I had a doctor's appointment in the morning. I got to watch a few movies and I ran. I did the rest of my requirements and wrote one of my essays. Then my dad asked me if I wanted to go to Lowes to get some stuff. I said yes then we went to Taco Bell and I went to bed.
Today I learned about staff form one with Master Knight and went back to school after a week.
Today, I spent the entire day traveling back to the U.S./ Charlotte. I am tired and did not get any requirements done so I have to double up tomorrow.
Today I got up and did a little of my black belt stuff. Next I got ready for school, we were goin to walk to school but it was raining. Mom drove me to school since it was raining. When I got to school I had ELA, Math and Social Studies. At recess (indoor recess since I have it at 930am) I traded pokemon cards with my friends! Finally, I rode the bus to King Tiger, had snack and played games with my friends. I took class at 5:15. At 6 we left for Scouts. After scouts we stopped by the Rec center and mom got my a pass so I can run there if its really cold or its raining. We are going to go tomorrow morning before school to get caught up on miles for the week! Goodnight!
Today I went to school as normal and upon arriving at home afterwards, I hung out with some friends. After that, I got a good amount of my requirements knocked out.
Today I woke up to go to school, and when I get to school I normally stay in the gym until It's time for class. At recess I ran a mile on the field. Then after school I did my homework, and after that I went to the 5:15 class and did leadership 1. In between the 5:15 and the 6:00 class I did a mentee session with my mentee. After that I took the 6:00 class, when I got home I did my exercises. Byeeeeeee!!!
Today I wanted to get my physical stuff done early and since I had not much to do in the morning ( no school) I did double the work for Pushups, Sit-ups, and burrpees so I won't have a hard time to get behind from school tomorrow. I did go to the 5:15 class for class assistance and I helped some yellow belts with study guide questions. Then in between classes I did some jumprope and relaxed until the next class. I wanted to do leadership credit but I wasn't fast enough since it was already booked out. In class we just did red belt. Now im back home and relaxing until I go back to school tomorrow.
Got most of my black belt requirements for the day in this morning. I waited to do my run until afternoon since it was raining this morning. It was still really wet out and I didn't realize that the pants I was wearing were worn out to the point that they wanted to slide off when I ran so I had to hold them up for the most part. Wasn't one of my finer days running. :) Tomorrow will be better. At King Tiger this evening I got in a mentor session with Master Marcus and a class assistance credit. Got the rest of my requirements for the day done after class. Now I'm trying to get some work done before bed. Hope the week is going well for everyone.
Today me and my brother played a lot of video games and I got all my requirements done despite my knee hurting. My mom made me a doctors appointment for tomorrow in the morning so hopefully I don't have to go to my school awards but I did get invited because I got A B honor role. we didn't have school today or yesterday. I went to class as a white belt and it was definitely weird but it was nice to have a new perspective.
Today I went to school and we were going to do a unl activity but the rain stopped us from doing so. Then we went to basketball practice and a made a few 3s and some good layups. Then I we
Today I didn’t really do much because we had a teachers work day at school I just sat at home did my requirements I went to the dentist in the morning. I didn’t do my journal the last 2 days because it’s an indian festival and we have been really busy. But we went and watched a movie and shopped on sunday then went over to my cousins. Right now my sister is at dance so i’m just sitting here kinda bored. But that’s it.
Today I woke up and was going to do my exercises but it was very dark so I stayed in my bed until it would be more bright but then I fell alseep so I woke up again and did half of each (1:30). I then went to school it was a boring first half but when I had math my teacher switched the seats and I had to sit next to a new kid and I had a bad headache the rest of the day. a few hours after that I had science and my teacher yelled at me to stop talking even though I wasnt. After school I did the rest of my exercises and thats it.
1/16/23: Back to school today. Today was a mess...late to school. Had a meeting for dual enrollment next year. Went to Band, ate lunch, and had a Government Quiz. Working on requirements this afternoon and then to dinner with my mom. Have to get some Black Belt stuff done first
1/15/24: Out of school today for MLK day...it was very nice and I felt I needed the break. I did requirements, got my homework caught up, did an essay and went to KT Harrisburg to assist and attend classes. Productive day
Boring day today so far, I did all my usual things like math, push-ups, sit-ups, and burpees. Aside from that I didn't do too much but I am going to work on my "new skill later".
Today is Mt Luther King day so I didn't have to go to school. Which made me happy to have a 4 day weekend because tomorrow its a teacher work day. I got to hang out and go to Target and get some stuff and then one of my friends had a birthday. We went to Cantina in Mt Pleasant and had dinner and cake. I completed all of my requirements and I am working on doing the activities in my book.
