Candidate Journals

Got the written and physical test out of the way. The written test would probably be more of the challenge for me. I do not have a mind for foreign languages and remembering all the Korean words is tough. I have enough problems with English. Today, some of you got to see Grandmaster Evins really mad. And I don't blame him one bit. It's not difficult to figure out what this is all about. This should be something you can look back on and feel proud about because of what you went through. Don't screw it up by short cutting yourselves. Not to mention, it was pretty dumb. I mean, no one was invisible out there, so why would they think they could go for a stroll and not get caught. If you haven't figured it out, one shirker can bring down the whole group on the overnight test. Respect each...

Is it just me, or did anyone else feel like today was different? Like I know how sometimes a Monday might feel like a Friday or something, but today was unique, and had this vibe that I've never felt before. I felt it when I went to School, and about halfway thrithr the day, it just felt like I shouldn't be there, it was just kind of weird.

Today was a very slow day at school. I was really tired and I wanted to take a nap. We got to play kahoots in math today. I didn’t play because I barely understand the math. I’m glad I didn’t play. 

Today was really slow so far and the good thing is that I don't have school tommorow. I also have benchmarks this week. So far today I went to school then came back, did some of my requirments then played.

It's been a mixed day, my brother came home from college for the week since he's on spring break and it's always nice to see him so that's good. On the other hand, I've gotten pretty sick. It's only something mild, thankfully, and I'm already feeling much better, but it still king of prevented me from hanging out with my family as much as I wanted to so that brought me down a bit. I don't have school tomorrow so that's good.

When I went for a run earlier today, I decided to try out a new route and see how far it was. So living in Cedar field, my house is right off of Stratton Farm. So I took a right there, and went straight all the way down to the end of the road, where I then took a left on to the main Street. Eventually I ran upon one of the main entrances into my neighborhood, where I followed the main Street which lead right back onto Stratton Farm, where I could just backtrack my route to get back to my house. It was pretty nice route, and summed be to be a nice 2 miles, so it was a pretty good run.

The previous Saturday held the Black Belt Physical and Written test. We (BoChoDans) started our run at 8:00AM, and the continued with the rest of our physical exam. Such precedings were : Sit-ups, Push-ups, Burpies, Pull-ups, and Jump Ropes. After all of that, we did the written portion, and most of us got our results back. Some people left afterwards, but I and most others stayed for Black Belt Class. I hope everyone else has had an amazing day.

Today I woke up and ate a bagel, my mom started making eggs.  She was making the eggs for tuna and after it was made it was really good.  After I watched some Youtube and chilled out.  I then went for a run and did requirements.  After all this I took a shower.  I then ate dinner and watched some more Youtube.  Now i'm going to sleep.

Today I got did my things and went to church with my family. Then I came home did requirements and had piano class. After that I went to my friend's house with my family and had dinner at Alino's Pizzeria with them (my friends)

today me and my dad played badminton. I also really tired and my body is really sore from the test yesterday. I also have benchmarks this week as well as well as soccer tryouts which I know i'm not going to make because the coach picks favorites.

Great morning at King Tiger for our Black Belt Written and Physical Tests. I was able to pretty much able to beat my baseline scores. The only place I got the same was with pull ups. But that is okay... I will continue to work to build more strength. I was extremely proud of Nate. He worked really hard to beat his times. I know he is my son, so of course I am proud... but he truly amazes me. I need to travel again this coming week, but this should be the last until after testing. Keep moving!!!

today in TKD we had the physical and written tests. I think I did pretty good . My book was pretty Goff as well I just need to redo or change one of my essay and that is pretty much it.

Today we had our physical and written test, and I feel like I did pretty decent. I improved Mile by about a minute, which I feel good about. I also felt pretty confident in all of my answers for the written test. I hope everyone else did good and have a good night!

Today I had to wake up early to go to the physical and written at the North Charlotte.  I ran a mile, then did the rest of the physical stuff. And then we had to do the written test. The written test was really hard but I got most of the questions right.

So today was the BBC physical and written test and I believe I did good. The only thing that I didn't beat was my sit ups which was disappointing considering that I am good at those. I am a little bit mad at myself because I forgot to bring my book and that was very irresponsible, I hope I can fix it. I beat my running time by almost a minute which I was really happy about. I think that after the cycle ends I will still continue running, maybe not as consistently but definitely over the summer.

Fridays are great. Get to sleep in a little, catch up on all the things around the house. Help the boys with their school day (school is at home on Friday), and have some family time. Tomorrow is the written and physical test, so for the rest of this day I will be studying and working on my essays. I was a white belt yesterday in class and there were a lot of different reactions to the students. The most common one was, I messed up and Master Knight took away my black belt. It would have been more enjoyable to leave it at that than to explain over and over about the black belt cycle, but it gave them a little glimpse of something they will hopefully be doing. So, I am signing off here to work on another essay, yes, I procrastinated a bit, and figure out how to...

Today we had our Black Belt Physical and Written Test. I wasn't there for the Physical pre-test so I didn't know exactly what we were supposed to do. Yesterday I had no clue how they were going to keep track of around 20 peoples time, especially considering the times were so exact. 

So today I had two biology Tests, and I'm pretty disappointed. As always, my teacher splits up our tests into 2 or three parts, and I got kinda low grades. I got an 87 on a 23 question test so I missed three, and a 76 on like an 11 question test, or something like that, but I missed three on both. The reason I'm disappointed however, is that these tests were really easy, and I should've aced both.

 Today in TKD there was a color belt testing and I helped. There was really no one there at all at the testing it was me Aquil, Master Weeks, Master Kavasoz and Ritika that pretty much it. I was kind of glad that I went because one it was my first time and also ot was pretty fun to help the students break their boards.

Got back late from Hong Kong last night and slept great last night. Now it is Friday. Nate did not have school and did a sleep over with a friend of his. Then he came home today and we hung out a bit. We got a bunch of exercises done and also tested each other. We both feel pretty good about the test. We went to Black Belt class and reviewed some stuff that we needed review on anyway. It was a good night. Now I am heading to bed, we got an early morning with Physical and Written Test tomorrow. Good Night everyone. Good luck. Keep Moving!!!

So honestly, today felt like a pretty long day, but at the end of it all, I ran the LONGEST 5k I've ever ran. Now let me go ahead and say that my quickest is in the 24 minute threshold, but this one, I got SO MANY CRAMPS, that it was over 40. So really, I felt pretty disappointed in myself since I ran such a slow time, but t the same time good because I got a bunch of miles in.

Today I woke up and went to school.  At school we watched a video on how the human body works, that was in science.  In last block we took a cycle test.  After school I went to TKD.  At tkd I went on a run and ate a snake.  After that I took sparring and then went home.

Today's been very productive. Despite being very very busy, I feel like I've gotten a lot done. I took 1 quiz, and two tests today, studied for two more tests that I have tomorrow and am stressing out a lot over the test on Saturday. I have also done a multitude of small assignments for my various classes, all in all I think it pretty much sums up the end of the quarter. I'm glad for the 3 day weekend since we have Monday off.

Today was a very slow day at school. We had a seminar in earth science about structures built along the shore to prevent erosion, she did not pick a good article. Then I did a lot of work in math, surprisingly. I’m still behind though. We also got new Tokyo Ghoul books in the library and it was like a mad dash to see who could check them out first. It was entertaining. I also surprisingly got a lot of work done in Spanish. Art was fun though. We think that the art teacher is pregnant. She keeps saying stuff that relate to the topic since the beginning of the year. I’ve suspected but kept my mouth shut. But now we’re sure that she’s having a baby. 

I was really tired today. I finished all of my homework today and played for a little while. i am also planning to help out tommorow for the color belt testing.

This week has been miserable. I have been bed ridden since instructors camp. I have used this time to study for the test but i hate not going to the gym or to the dojang.

So today we had band practice and honestly, it felt like the longest one I've ever had. It went after school from 2:30 to 5:30 but it felt like it was double that time. However we did get a lot of practice in today so I guess that's good.  

Today I woke up and went to school.  At school we did more practice on the area of a circle and circumference.  Then in second block we did more on ww2.  In gym we played baseball and basketball. In fourth block we just went over everything we did while our teacher was out.  After school I went to TKD and ran.  I then took class and then left.  After leaving I went to my grandparents house because my great uncle chuck was their and we went to eat pizza and hang out with him.

So on Saturday we have our written test and physical test. I'm glad I am actually going to be there, because for the physical pre-test I wasn't there so I had to do it another day. It has been raining a lot so I haven't had to do much with my shrub lately and its pretty hard to keep track o when its a good time to water it.

Today I got up did my stuff and went to school. In Gym Class my friend didn't get a good serve (because he's bad but I can't tell him that because I think he knows) and was raging when really it was his fault. After school I ate, studied for the written test and went to T.K.D. Now I've finished dinner and I am here.

Today has been pretty stressful, but I'd like to take a look at the better side of things. I have a truck load of makeup work for a day that I missed, and that just keeps on piling up. I had to miss taekwondo because my little brother and my mom had a concert, and I received a less than favorable grade back on my French test. Despite all of that, I got my daily requirements done, practiced guitar, listened to a wonderful performance, received a good grade on a civics project, and even got to relax and just hang out with my family for a little bit. 

okay, so i said i wasn't journalling again. But i checked my track page and it only says i've done 21 journals, even though i can count all my journals and there are def more than thirty. soooooo i have to do more. i had a really bad day yesterday. i had a big feud with a friend and she's acting really shady, and i have to do something that i'm not necessarily refusing, but that offends me. that's all i can tell you without revealing too many details. and that's all. and another extra detail you didn't ask for- when you want to listen to a really weird song, listen to "bushes of love" by bad lip reading. it's on itunes and spotify. and on that note, i'll end on a song lyric: we've all got a chicken duck woman thing waiting for us.

Today me and master Weeks were practicing my bolo form because I didn't know it. I also got my instructors camp certificate. Since now that I am a instructor I can help out and do other stuff. And also thank you Grand Master Evins for the extra credits for going to instructors camp.

Today I got (early again so I did requirements but I did my physical after). After school I finished requirements. Then I went to swimming class.

So recently two of my good friends had an argument over a small problem but I think that today fixed some of it as they talked and smoothed things over. Other than that the rest of my day was pretty normal. I didn't get to run today and I was a little sad because it was so beautiful out. Anyways hope everyones day was good.

So, Instructors camp is over, and what a great camp it was. Being around Grand Master Lee is phenomenal. I'm just amazed how he can sit down on a hard floor with us with perfect posture for hours. I really liked how we ended it with the GRIT thing. It's definitely something to keep pursuing. Today I am finishing up my written test questions and starting to study. The hardest thing to do is start hitting the requirements again after instructors camp. I'm still trying to catch up on sleep, not so much push ups, sit ups, pomsaes, and self defense. That's it for me. Stay healthy folks!

I have been sick since instructors camp. I woke up monday with a fever and extremely sore throat. I had to take these last two days off so i have been studying none stop for the test on saturday.

Well... I landed in Hong Kong about 3.5 hours ago. It is about 9:00pm here while I am typing this. I did not sleep much on the plane. Just could not get comfortable. I do have a bunch of meetings tomorrow, but I am ready for them. I spent a good portion of the flight preparing for them. I did go to the hotel gym and workout. Got a bunch of requirements done, and I room-service just arrived with some food. Plan is to eat and hit the sack. Hopefully that works. Have a great day. Keep Moving!!!

Today in school we r talking about WW1 and what led up to it. We also talked about how America also got involved in it. I am also very exited about my school field trip thats coming up in a month. I also had a lot of fun at the Instuctors Camp as well and I really miss it because their was so many new people i met and also trained with.

Today I got up early had some free time to do requirements and finished poomsae and self defense requirements (I also did my routine and went to school). After school I finished requirements and went to T.K.D. After T.K.D. I ate at McDonald's (because of my sister) and took a bath, did some essay progress, and now I'm here

I had a good day. School was fun. In the evening I did my requirements. Then I read Harry Potter and the goblet of fire. Then I had dinner. I am going to bed now. 

Woke up late and went to school late. The reason I woke up late was because of instructors camp and I was very tired. After school played then ate. And after that I did exercises then started writing this.

Today was boring at least school wise. I didn't do much, however I did start my WHite belt challenge late today.

Today I got and for some reason my arm hurt and I noticed that for some reason my journals have a scheduled posting time so, it's posting a day later. We didn't go to church because, we all slept in (we had our friends come over for about four hours). I had a normal day today and I'm studying for the written test and good luck to everybody that is doing it.

Got back from Instructor's Camp today, it was so much fun. It's only the second time I've been and I had a wonderful time meeting people and making new friends and strengthening relationships with the friends I already had. Of course it was a privilege to be around so many talented people. My knowledge and passion for taekwondo truly were strengthened and expanded. I hope to go again next year and to have an even better experience.

Over the weekend I went to instructors camp. The camp was really fun and we practiced a lot. We also did a rope course, the rope course wasn't even a actual rope course it was a teamwork activities. I also learned how to do the nunchucks. I was really good at it as well. We all trained really hard and learned a lot as well. Working with Grand master Lee was a really honorable thing to do. Overall the camp was really fun. This was my first instructors camp as well.

This weekend I went to Instructor's camp. It was very fun I had a good time, although the drinking water tasted a little off. Other than that it was great. We talked about history, helping, teaching, kicking, and other things.

On Saturday I had my birthday party. We went to Painting With a Twist and painted a tree with butterflies. It was a nice small party with a few friends and family that chose to come down for it. After that we went to Outback with a family friend and her kids. To be honest, they seem like family rather than friends.

So we all just got back from instructors camp, and it was pretty fun! This was my third year, and to be honest, I did kinda like going to Greenville rather than going to camp oak Hill, but it was still awesome. Even though it was also a pretty small instructors camp, it was still really fun, with cool training. I'm looking forward to next year's, and I'm hoping it'll be just as fun!

I had a great time at instructors camp. The outdoor team building course was my favorite session because we had to trust each other and listen to ideas. The bonfire last night was also great since we had s'mores.

I had a good day. In the morning I did my requirements. I also did my Role modal essay. Then I had lunch. Then I watched my normal watching time. Then I went to my basketball game. I was sooooo close to winning it was 31 vs. 32. Then I went shopping. Then I had dinner. I am going to bed now.

Today I had a pretty normal Saturday. The only things that weren't normal is that I went to a birthday party, my cousins came over and so, did my friends. I also did requirements. I can't believe I'm already so, in the cycle.

So in engineering, the entire class did pretty bad on this recent test, with  everyone averaging a C(which is funny because we actually checked the answers and people were right when our teacher marked us wrong). So we all had to to do a makeup test,and on any retest, the highest you can get is a 79. So there were 30 questions, and I got 25 right, which is an 83. So somehow, she took 83% over 79 and managed to get a 65 out of that which is really annoying. So instead, even though I got a better score on the makeup, my original grade for my first test was still better because she graded weirdly, so I got a C.

I am looking forward to instructors camp! I cant wait to experience this new location and everything it has to offer. I took today and yesterday off from the gym in preparation for camp, only doing the requirements for the cycle.

I had a good day at school. We went to eye doctor and every is good. I have to put my contacts in myself. Then we went to Jasons deli for dinner and then to King Tiger. I got hurt at sparring but I am fine. Getting ready for Instructors camp. Now I am writing this. 

Today I got up and went to school. After school my mom was home! That's exiticing because she usually comes at 5:30. I also got to number 10 in my Weekday Black Belt classes. I had and had a good mentor session.

Tuesdays are my roughest day. Mostly self imposed as I go to PMA class Monday night, get home around 9:30, bed by 11, then up at 5 am for my men's bible study group. Went home to meet the tree guy who I'm paying a crazy amount of money to save my poplar tree. The tree is huge and would cost a fortune if it had to come down, so $300 is definitely the path of cheap resistance. Then today, Master Knight fell while on a run and messed up his shoulder. I took him to the urgent care where they took x-rays and such. So it was just me at the new school tonight. It actually went pretty smooth. Of course, it would have been a lot smoother with Master Knight because of his awesomeness with kids.The good news is, I'm still trainable, and Master Knight teachings have come to...

Night before Instructors Camp and all through the house, I am packing for the weekend... As I am not sure the weather, so I am packing for all circumstances. I am sure I am overpacking but I would rather have it than not, and need it. If it was just me, that would be different, but Nate is going too and so I am a little protective and I want to make sure he is prepared as well. Double the trouble. Anyway... I am very excited about the weekend and looking forward to moving my mind, body, and spirit. See you all there. Keep moving!

Today I went to school then rode the king tiger bus to king tiger to help out in a class. I got to do a mentee seesion and mentor along with a pmma class. 

Today's journal will be a little bit longer one, because there is a lot of stuff I want to cover. First things first, I finished my white belt challenge! It was a forgotten experience, and it took some time to get used too, but once I did, I enjoyed being a white belt. It made me recall the place from where I started. My brother made fun of me for being a lower belt than him. I also started writing a book! Writing has been a skill I have had for a while, but I only started making it a passion recently, and I haven't looked back since. I'm currently typing this only new iMac, I got this for my birthday (I'm 13: February 24th) and I love it! 

went to school and had cole after school today. our teacher sent a note that some of the kids were messing around and my mom sent it to me. she also asked if I was part of it. I was messing around in the beginning but stopped but some of my team did not and we all got called out. I am pretty mad about it. I told them to stop but they did not listen. I need to do it better. mom was mad and said I need to be a leader. got work to do. went to youth at church and was a good message on doing good things because it is the right thing to do. now writing this.

Today me and some of my friends were hanging around in school because some of the other students went to a trip. I was actually glad i didn't go because I finished most of my stuff that was due the end of this week. I am really looking forward for tommorow because I have soccer , open field.

Today I went school came home. Then went out to get a haircut, came back worked on my homework and some king tiger essays, along with my self denfense poom saes and others.

Today I got up did my things and went to school. After school I did some requirements (I also did some after dinner) and assisted in a class today. I also ate dinner and after requirements, I am writing this journal.

It was a pretty good Wednesday. I had to go into our Charlotte office and meet with some people. It was pretty productive and we prepped for next week as well. I need to travel to Hong Kong for work. I still have to have a meeting with the employee I need to work with more but I am definitely taking him off the current project. That will be tough but what I need to do right now. Did a mentee session with Mrs. Amanda. That went well. Then Nate and I headed to church for youth and men's ministry. It was a good message today. Bottom line is that we have to "Put Christ On" everyday. Regardless of your religion or beliefs, just do good for the sake of doing good, and no other reason. I wish we all could just do good and be good to everyone around us....

Today I woke up and went to school, in first block we had a sub and we started an in school project.  In second block we had a sub again.  In third block I had Gym and we played badminton which was kinda boring.  In fourth block we started another in school project for ELA.  After school I went to TKD and went on a run.  At home I ate dinner and did some requirements.

I honestly didn't do anything interesting at all. Today was really boring, but I did go to my school basketball game and me and my friends hung around. Tomorrow there is a field trip and most of the people are going so it is going to be very boring in class. I am also exited for my school field trip in April. We are going to go to DC. It is going to be very fun and I am really exited.

Tonight I will wake up at around 1:00 to go the D.C. and I'm super excited. We are going to multiple museums one of them being my favorite, The National History Museum. I hope that I have a good time and a good day group. I got ahead and did extra to catch up for my absence on the BBC. I have to run extra this afternoon so have a good day.

Today I had another mentee session. Last week I finished up my mentor sessions. I finished all my requirements and I ma working on perfecting my poomsae.

Today I got up,ate and went to school. After school I knocked out requirements. I also went to swimming class and ate dinner and now I'm here.

I honestly didn't do anything interesting at all. Today was really boring, but I did go to my school basketball game and me and my friends hung around. Tomorrow there is a field trip and most of the people are going so it is going to be very boring in class. I am also exited for my school field trip in April. We are going to go to DC. It is going to be very fun and I am really exited.

These last couple of days have been rough emotionally. I have been doing my requirements and had a great evening yesterday at the Lake Norman location. I am excited for instructors camp since it is at a new place this year.

Today I went to a black belt class. I normally go on Fridays, but this Friday is Instructors Camp so they don't have black belt class. My mom is going to Instructors Camp this weekend so I will be with just my dad and younger brother.

Today in my school I got in trouble. I got in trouble for picking up a tennis ball that belonged on the bottom of a chair. I didn’t know why she thought I was playing with it but she said don’t follow there footsteps. I really think I don’t deserve my punishment but life is kinda hard when people don’t understand so tomorrow ima just try to be my self and don’t copy anyone.

Last Sunday, I spoke a little about Blind Love. I did talk about God's love. This is NOT about religion. The ultimate message is that we are nothing without "love" and "love" is everything. The ultimate question is whether we "apply" love in our everyday. This is a little mind-blowing for me today so I needed to share. We are nothing without love. Bottom line... do we apply love in all situations? If someone makes you angry, have we ever replaced that anger with love or loving action? What if we did? What would happen? What would that outcome be? I imagine it would be different. How different? Think about trying it. I know I am. This community, country, and world all need more love right now. We all do. If everyone acted in love versus anything else... even once... what could happen????  Keep moving!!!  

Today was just a busy day at work. It was non-stop from 7:00 until 5:00 today. It was just back to back meetings. Now, I am complaining, but I have it really good at my job. If I am not traveling, I get to work from home. It is a pretty good gig... but when I work from home... it seems like the day just flies. Like I said, I was back to back all day... even through lunch. I try to grab something between meetings. I really wish Microsoft would make it easier in Office to "auto"-build in about 5-10 minutes between meetings in the calendar so that you get a chance to breathe. I find that after a day like today, I have about 30 actions I need to take and then there is no time for the actions... so when do I do them. I can delegate some...

Today's adult class at the end of the day was definitely different than normal, especially since Master Chelley was out so she could recover from her surgery. So today Master Hartle taught class, and good thing, it was still a fun class. We did a lot of work on our basic kicks but we also spent a lot of time on some of the old Hap Kiddo curriculum that we hadn't gone over in a really long time. So it was pretty fun and I think he did a good job with that class.

Today was pretty normal and nothing extraordinary happened. I had a good class tonight and have been ahead on my requirements for a while. I leave for Washington DC on Wednesday at 2:30 in the morning. We get back on Friday at around midnight. The drive is six hours long and probably exhausting. Hopefully I get into a good group for the day tours. In other events today I got an A on my math quiz and had a good day, hope everyone feels the same.

Today I finished my history of the Kwans essay. I was really happy because it took me a long time to do. In my school we also have a trip but I defy not to go. Also today me and my dad did my requirements just cause.

I had a okay day. I had an argument with one of my friends and it was silly. I wish we had not argued. we are okay now. I came home and I am tired. Did some exercises and then chilled out and watched tv. I am going to go get ready for bed. I am now writing this. 

Today I got up and went to school. After school I ate did requirements and went to assist in Monday's class. After claas I ate at a resturant and went to Curry&Cakes.

I haven't blogged in a while although I didn't really do much over the past few days. I only did normal things, although I did go to my dad's house and our car broke down on the highway other than that. I didn't really do much other than my king tiger stuff go to school and hangout with my dad.

Today I finished my history of the Kwans essay. I was really happy because it took me a long time to do. I also did my requirement with my dad because he wanted to do with me. I am really exited for instructors camp this weekend. In my school we also have a trip but I decided not to go.

So today i went for my first run in a couple days, due to this nonstop run, and let me tell you, it was rough. I had to take a couple breaks and ran two miles. They were also kind of slow miles too. Im also having to use someone else's device to write this journal because my phone nor our Imac will work for the website. So basically, my weekend ia going that great.

Today I was playing fortnite with my friend. I was playing on mobile and I was still able to eleminate him somehow. I also woke up early and did my requirments. My dad and i moved our pull up bar and placed it somewhere else with the sit up bench. I am really exited for instuctors camp as well.

went to church today and learned about God' Love. We just need to love everyone and the world will be a better place. We worked on our sign language study and then ran. I also went to basketball and it was good. I got hit by my own player as we both went for a rebound and he hit me on the way back down. my head hurt but I am fine now. Then I came home and we watched First Time Flippers and hung out. Then I got ready for bed and now I am writing this. 

Fridays are great. Get a couple of extra hours of sleep and a chance to recoup. I had a lists of things to get done today after the boys school work, but the rain has other plans for me. Instructors camp is astonishingly just around the corner, and it looks like a packed schedule. Hopefully the weather will cooperate out there and we'll get our rope course in and bonfire. It's that crunch time to start knocking out essays and more requirements so the end of the cycle won't be hectic. We are hosting a public speech debate at our location this evening. Hopefully it will produce some new students for us. Tomorrow will be the end of our third week at Harrisburg. It seems like we've been open for so much longer. Our parents have been giving us some great feedback and there was quite of lot of feet on...

Today I got up and ate and went to church. Then I got home played FIFA 19 and won the UEFA Champions League Cup. I also did requirements and ate lunch then after hours (not that many) I ate dinner

Yesterday our 16 year old cat died. I took it very hard because I was petting him as he died. We knew he was not going to last much longer, but did not expect it would be that soon. 

Today was day of lonesome, in which I was pretty consolidated up in my room the entire day and was just talking to friends and playing my Xbox. So in reality, you could see it as pretty boring, which to be honest, it kind of was.

So today was really fun and I had a good time. In the morning I slept in and woke up in a good mood. After breakfast I went early to Master Evins North Charlotte location and worked on requirements. Then I took BBC class and ate lunch on the way home. At home I changed and worked on one of my last essays. I only have one left! Next me, my dad, and my little sister drove to drop my sister off at a friends place. Me and my dad went to a soccer store and bought me new cleats and shinguards for my upcoming season. Finally we came home had dinner and watched a movie with some popcorn.

Today I got up and went to sparring class, assisted in family class and did black belt class. After that I ate and knocked out requirements. Then I went with my friend to watch Lego Movie 2.

Went to family class and helped out. did mentee session with Taylor and helped her with self defense. went to black belt class. then came home and finished exercises. hung out and played. had dinner with my family and now I am writing this. tomorrow is church and working on final essay. 

Today felt like it was forever. I went to sparring class then I attended BBC. I also had a mentee sesion today. i was also playing fortnite like always. Now i'm home chilling out.

Today was day of lonesome, in which I was pretty consolidated up in my room the entire day and was just talking to friends and playing my Xbox. So in reality, you could see it as pretty boring, which to be honest, it kind of was.

Got up early. Not sure why but I could not sleep this morning. Woke up around 5:00 and never got back to sleep. Nate and I went to help with family and little tiger classes. I really like helping the younger kids learn their stuff. I helps me refine myself as well. I want to make sure I am doing things right to teach them correctly. Then we headed off to Black Belt class. It was a great class. Got work on some of my 1st Dan skills which was good for me. It was really good. Smoothie King and headed back home to finish off our requirements. Then we had a little down time, which Nate and I both needed. Then dinner and hanging out. My daughter in college came home for the weekend, so that was great to see her. I miss her and it was nice to catch...

I had a really fun day today, I got home from school and had no homework. I was able to play online with some of my friends, and did my requirements. I went to adult class and kick boxing today as well, kick boxing was very enjoyable. I hadn't gone to any of the kick boxing classes until today, I only had done the Friday up until now. Despite being a more relaxing day, I have an essay in English due this Friday, which I'm stressing over but I think I've got it in the bag.

today I went to school then came home. After that I did se exercises the went BBC weekday class. we did lot's of stuff. Then went to eat came home and started writing this.

So today in the morning masters and me class, Master Evins had us doing what he called a stretch kick dance, where we faced a partner, and both would do a back leg stretch kick going beside your partner than setting it down and turning around. Needless to say Instructor Jack and myself were lacking in our dance moves and we ended up doing a whole lot of something else. So, this is one of those great Master Evins moments. He is giving us directions from across the room, breaks it down to simple mechanical motions, and whalla! We are doing something close to synchronized swimming on dry land. Of course, all the Masters enjoyed the cheap entertainment we provided. Outside of the strange dance stretch, that class was awesome. Got to work on more hopkido moves. Love that stuff. Can't wait till next week. 

So today we had a math test that I was honestly kinda dreading even though it was on logarithms and stuff like that but It was actually pretty easy. Then I went to king Tiger and got a bunch of requirements done so today was a pretty good day.
