Thursday Journal Entry

My day started early at 5:30 leaving the house at 5:45 to be at seminary class by 6AM. That's my typical morning. After seminary I went to school, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I stay afterschool to get extra help. I left around 4 and got to track practice around 4:45, there was a lot of traffic. My practice drills included running 10 200m back to back. In practice between my drills and warmups I ran about 3miles. I went to Taekwondo after practice, and helped out with testing. I actually forgot, and I thought it was a regular Thursday, but it was good to help out. I still have dinner and homework to do. Long day, but good day.

Journal #46--2/27/25

In school today we had a test in literacy and nobody finished it.   Then we had math block where we did an escape room, we broke out but we were the 2nd team so we didn't win a prize.  Next, we had lunch went to recess I played soccer and we tied.  Then I rode the bus to King Tiger, its the last day of testing so we watched a movie! Me and Nixon ran before the movie.  We found something weird on the sidewalk during our run.  After the movie we watched Is it Cake?? Then we went to Olive Garden for dinner with Brien, and he did NOT have Olive Garden behavior, haha! We came home and got ready for bed.  Goodnight!

More bloody nose ):

So I wake up as usual and I then go to school and we litterly did nothing today so I just rode the car home since I have to get home very fast and my bus doesn’t really do that. I ate something then went to king tiger and I got there really early to lead the red belts for the running then I waited for testing to finish and I got back home and I started bleeding really badly out of my nose so it’s been about 1 and a half hours of bleeding out of my nose and it’s not any better. Ever since I got back from the trip to Korea I have had so many bleeding nose

Thursday

Today was fun though last night I only got like one hour of sleep because my ear was bothering me so much it hurt so bad I woke up and went to my parents room (although my mom wasn't home) my dad woke up and gave me some pain reliver but it did not work! When I couldn't take it anymore it was about 5 am then my dad came in cause he went to my bathroom to take a shower and try not to wake me up but I was already awake and struggling 🙃 😑 😐  But know I'm feeling much better! Today at school there was no tests! There was a fire drill and for the longest time my chrome book wasn't working so I didn't get to do chrome book free time but Tomorrow my teacher will let me cause everyone else got to.

Wednesday

On Wednesday I went to the sparring at Grand Master Evins place it was fun, Grand Master Evins wasn't teaching the class that day though we had a different Master but I'm not sure what his name was. Wednesday I had a math test and I got 95%! YAY!!! The guinea pigs have been pretty calm but Poppy keeps screaming with joy in the back of our class room and it's so cute but also kinda creepy cause she is like screaming really weirdly!🗣➕️🐹= screaming 😱 guinea pig!

Tuesday

On Tuesday I went to dance and piano 🎹  By the way if your wondering why I'm writing about Tuesday but the date is Thursday its because I completely forgot about Journaling. I didn't do it Wednesday or Thursday. OPPS!!🫣🫢🤫But that's why there is so many journals for today. Anyway at dance I'm the only person in that class so it was a pretty chill day!

Today was good. This morning me and my little sister had choir, which was really fun. At school most of 5th grade is on a trip at Washington DC, so it was a small, fun class. I also won a few games so I got some candy! When we got back we ran our mile and then I played on my iPad. Then we had dinner, which was SO good, and we played trivial pursuit with the hole family. Now I am getting ready for bed.

Today was a usual, normal day at school. I presented a project, and I’m proud of myself since I don’t like going up in front of a crowd. When we got home it was raining, but once it stopped I ran my mile on the local greenway. My grandma also is staying here for a few days, she got here today. I didn’t get to go to sparring tonight because of color belt testing. I’m really hoping I am able to get all of these classes in before the deadline. We ate a super good dinner and I played a game with my family. Now I’m getting ready for bed! Good night!

Almost to the end of the week

Well, halfway there.  I am once again writing this as I am about to go to a midnight gym session.  I have a little bit of homework left to do but I got most of it done.  My 7pm to 10pm class is a bit hard to sit through, since I'm not really the type of person who can sit through things for a long period of time without getting sleepy, even if it is a very interesting topic.  Also, I have a Chinese exam to study for, and it's on Friday.  Hopefully I will have better luck with that than I did with exams in the past 3 weeks.

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD ME IS HAPPY!!!

Wednesday Journal Entry

I went to seminary in the morning, I leave the house at 5:45AM to get there by 6. After seminary I went to school. Today the school day seemed to go by very fast today. It was a normal school day. After school I went to track practice. At practice we did drills which included a 45 second drill to see how far you can run in 45 seconds. During practice I got in about 2 miles. After practice I came home, and I'm still doing homework, and have to get my exercises in. I'll be doing exercises as soon as I get my school work done. Already had dinner, so I need to hurry so I can get to bed. Tomorrow it starts at 5:30AM again. Good day today.

Today was great, I was really happy that it was a half day. When we got picked up we went to go get boba, which was really really good. Then we went to a park and our sister met up with a friend there. After that we came home for a little bit, and I did my requirements and play on my iPad for a little bit. Then we went to watch our sister at testing, she is a high green now! After testing we celebrated with some chick fil a. Now I am getting ready for bed.♥

Today was a great day! It started out by me forgetting to snooze my alarm, so I slept in late. Today I had a math test and did super well! Today was also a half day at school. After school we all went to Kung Fu Tea. I got the mango boba tea (I always get that one because it’s soooo good 😋) Right after that we went to a playground/park to meet up with my little sister’s friend. We stayed there for about an hour before heading home to get ready, and leave for, testing. In this time I got my requirements done. My littlest sister tested today for a high green belt (she got to skip a belt or two because she’s almost 9) To celebrate aftwards we want to Chick-Fil-A for dinner. However, after we got home, we realized that they messed up our order. I ended up...

Today was early release for students, but teachers were stuck doing things. Tonight is sparring and black belt class. My allergies are kicking my bottom….so not sure what sparring will look like for me tonight.  I had to switch mentees as mine has not been to KT since late January. I had my first session with my new mentees last night.

I enjoy the fact that chemical reactions are easy to learn. We have managed to have widespread knowledge of so much useful information like sodium hydroxide & alkalization. or the Millard reaction which makes food brom under heat. & of course the reaction to make spinach less bitter by adding lemon juice.

Allergies!!!!

This weather is making my allergies go crazy.  On the plus side, the warmer temps make an early morning practice in the driveway not so bad.  Taught two classes last night.  Took a beating because the adult class was falls and take downs with lots of demonstrating.

No Shoreview Today

I know, right?  Sad.  No 540 kicks.  Well, it's back to the usual grind of homework.  It's just gotten really rough this semester.  If I'm being entirely honest, I'm just trying to stick it out until I can return to Charlotte in May.  Last semester was the fun semester, but this semester is like the tragic sequel nobody wants to watch and everyone deems non-canon in their own mind because it was so bad.  Yikes.

AN EPIC DAY OF VOCALIZATION!!!

I'm finally back to journaling after ANOTHER break due to mass studying for huge tests in school. But hey, music nerd journal today! Enjoy me going way too in depth with a song :D   HOLD THEM DOWN IS SO TERRIFYING!   So the song my vocal teacher had me sing today was in response to me saying that I would LITERALLY KILL to play Scar on Broadway (Top 3 Dream Roles) so he gave me a song from 'Epic: The Musical' to sing in order to build my intimidation while singing. The song is called 'Hold Them Down' which is SLIGHTLY inappropriate to discuss the details of what is happening in the song as well as the words, however, I can speak of the tone and vocal choices that I took to invoke intimidation. Generally, intimidation comes from low notes when it comes to males. That is why the most...

Tuesday Journal Entry

Today I didn't go to seminary, that was on purpose so I could get another two hours of sleep. This was going to be a long day, so getting the extra rest is important for my health. I went to school at 7:30am, and on Tuesdays I stay after-school for extra help. During extra help today I took a Bio quiz that I didnt finish during the day, and I got some math assignments turned in. I left school at 4:15 and rushed to track practice and got there late around 4:35, practice starts at 4PM. I let the coach know before hand that I would be late. In practice I ran all together about 3 miles. After practice I went home, and got the rest of my exercises done, I had pizza and oranges for dinner, and then I had piano at 7:30PM. Tomorrow I'll be back on my 5:30AM...

When mom woke me up this morning for school, I wanted to stay in bed.  But I finally got up and mom peeled an orange for me to eat on the way to school incase I couldn't eat anything they had.  I didn't eat it on the way but I did eat it with some milk and other mandarin oranges that they had at school.  I was so tempted to eat the honey bun but I was able to resist temptation!! We had blocks like normal, I may have a test on Thursday if my teacher is there, her kids are sick so she may be out.  At recess I missed 2 goal opportunities, we did tie the game though! Then I rode the bus to KT, then I ran with Nixon and Carter.  I did some Poomsae, kicks and self defense.  I also did my LAST mentor session today.  I...

National Pancake Day (IHOP) 02/25/25

Today was short and pretty simple. I got a little sleep and went off to school to do some pretty boring work. I had some more fun with the requirement game I made up and did it with my sister a bit too. The game is simple. On the written test my mom with ask a question and if I answer wrong I have to do a minute or so of a requirement (Except for kicks, poomsaes or self-defences) I had way more fun this way then just doing it. So not only did I learn and study my written test but I got my requirements done as well. But that was basically it. I didn't come to class because I had some things for school so that was really boring. I hope everyone gets some good sleep!

I got new colors on my braces and my sister got her’s out! When we got home we went running and ate dinner when we got back. Then I just relaxed and played iPad. Now I’m getting ready for bed!

Fallout 3 is the most interesting in the franchise because of all of it's problems. Fallout 1 & 2 are good games. new vegas is the best fallout game ever. fallout 4 has the best gameplay. fallout 76 is just kind of meh. Fallout 3 is the worst because of the way that it adapts everything is done terribly, the story makes no sense,& the characters are boring.

I wake up and take a shower and get ready for class and it isn't really that bad today besides the stretches which I am horrible at at but whatever, then I finish up class and go home to read a chapter of my book for the cycle then go practice my skill and clean some and after that I go finish an essay which all that felt great after I was done with that then I went on a nice walk and I didn't count it for anything because I don't want to count walking when I am supposed to be running 100 miles. Anyways after that all I eat dinner and now I am relaxing after a good productive day. Goods night!

Today was super fun! After eating a delicious breakfast and enjoying a relaxing morning we went to Zootastic park. Me, my sisters and my neighbor did a camp there last summer, so it was really fun to see all of the animals again and spend time walking around with my family. They have kangaroos, capybaras and REAL AXALOTLS! All of the animals were so cuteee! After about an hour and a half walking around, we went on a drive thru where you can feed animals from your car! I loved Zootastic! When I got home I ate a big, early dinner because I was so tired and hungry from walking around all day. Then I watched TV and forced myself to get off the couch and do requirements (I was realllllyyy tired by the way.) Then, my whole family was begging me to make them dessert so I made everyone chocolate...

Sunday Journal Entry

This morning I went to church and I had to give a talk during our Sacarment meeting, I prepared the talk and practiced reading it, so I think it went well. A lot of people told me afterwards that it was good. After church we went home and had lunch. On Sunday's we basically stay home and rest. I did my 2 mile run around 6 and will do the rest of my exercises at home in a little while. Tomorrow back to regular schedule, up at 530 to go to seminary class before school. It was a relaxing Sunday.

Journal #42--2/23/25

Today I woke up feeling much better!!!  I played some video games when I woke up then Brien made breakfast, we had eggs and toast.  Then Brien had to leave to put away the chairs at the YMCA (for a church that uses the gym).  We had lunch while he was gone, mom made me scrambled eggs (YUUMM).  Then we hung out at Brien's some more and then we had to head home because Anthony had youth group and we have school tomorrow BOOOO.  I did 2 miles when mom got home from dropping Anthony off at youth, then I took a shower and mom made me a grilled cheese for dinner.  I will go to bed soon.

I missed another day somehow. I am logging this right before I go on a run. The game fallout new vegas has 4 dlc's. Dead Money has you in a survival horror bank hiest where get to steal tons of money. Honest hearts is tribal warfare. Old World Blues is a homage to 1950's sci-fi. Lonesome road is a cathartic end to the players journey.

LMP Feb 23

Had a great training with my mentor and another candidate! Reviewed 1st and 2nd Dan one steps. Then reviewed 3rd Dan one-step numbers 1-3 and learned 4. Reviewed hapkido 1-3, learned 4 and 5. Came home, did my lessons for school, and finished my requirements. Burpees and I will NEVER be friends; we will NEVER get along, and I think they should be replaced, or at the least, take out the pushup.

I wish...

I wish I did not choose crocheting for my new thing. It is so hard I thought it was going to be easy I didn't even finish my first one. I wish today was Saturday I do not want to go to school tomorrow 😩.  I wish we didn't have requirements. ( even though I did them) The only thing I think is sometimes fun is going for a run with my mom to the nature trail. Today I ran 3 miles! It was the most fun I ever had while running. Know I have to go to... crochet!🥺☹️😢😣😤😡☠️

By now, it was about 6:30PM and I came home to finish writing a talk that I have to give in church tomorrow. Good day.

Today was fun, I got up early (for a weekend) and went to black belt class, which was good. When I got back I did my requirements and had a snack. For the rest of the day I just relaxed, I played on my iPad for a little bit and watched some TV.  For dinner we had carnitas which are so good, and for dessert we had vanilla pudding. We are having a camp out and watch a movie, it was my turn to pick and we watch wicked. Now off to bed. ♥

I got up early and went to black belt class this morning. It was good and I practiced a lot. When I got home I drew and colored before doing my requirements. I rode 9 miles on my indoor bike (3 miles running) so I’m pretty proud of myself. The rest of the day I just spent relaxing. I watched TV, drew some more and helped my parents outside with yard work. We had a delicious dinner and then settled down for movie night! We just finished watching Wicked! I love this movie! It’s pretty late now so I’m going to bed, night!

Today was a long day. It started with a good Black Belt Saturday morning session. I went with my Mom and met Dad at Lowes and they bought a new oven for the house. Then we went home, and I did my requirements.  This afternoon we met friends from school in Winston Salem for an early dinner and went to the Carolina Thunderbirds hockey game. The Thunderbirds won 9 to 1 so it was a good game with 2 fights. I enjoyed the time with friends and family.  It is time for bed and I hope everyone has a good Sunday.

Rock Climbing

Today I did some work on my lab report due Monday.  Aside from that, I was able to go to rock climbing today, the first time this school year where I was able to go.  That was fun but tiring.  I got a big dinner when I got back, and I am currently about to go celebrate my friend's birthday.

Diary of a Wimpy kid.

Today I went with my boyfriend to the Diary of a Wimpy kid musical. It was so good 👍 Before that I went to black belt. Then my boyfriend picked me up and we went to red Robin and then an ice cream place with my boy friend and then went to the play. After I went to the play they dropped me off at my house. Me and my mom went to my grandparents house but my dad stayed home to relax 😌. At my grandparents house I ate the best chowder ever. I did a lot of drawing but we went home early to watch something with just my mom and dad 👨‍👩‍👧. Right know I'm watching raid the cage with my mom and dad. Then we might watch a movie or a another TV show. I know this journal today was not that interesting 😕 SORRY ABOUT THAT!...

Journal #41--2/22/25

Got up early this morning because we spent the night at Brien's last night so we had about a 30 minute drive to get to class and we had to be there at 8. I started feeling bad during class but was able to finish. I felt ok on the way back to Brien's just really tired. Mom asked me soo many times I'd I felt ok, she said she could tell I didn't feel well.  I took a nap for like 3 hours this afternoon.  And now I don't feel well again so I'm going back to sleep.

Solid learning and practicing today in both BlackBelt class and my mentee session.  Really happy with how I'm progressing on my curriculum (still not great with 2nd Dan Specials).  Got home, ran some errands did some housework, and then finished up with physical requirements.  Now I'll be spending the evening watching opening weekend of MLS.
