January 31

This is the last day of January and I am sort of dreading February for some reason. I don't know why but I've never liked February and it always seems dismal and cold to me. In class today we did this thing where you read an article on something random so I looked up string theory which I though was cool. String theory is a basic physics theory that could explain why atoms stick together. It could, if proven to be true, could explain dark matter and other things in space we really know nothing about. Anyways that was day.

January 30th

Finally got a decent night's sleep last night, I have an AP Human Geography test tomorrow which I just finished studying for so I'm a little stressed out about that. On the other hand, I had a French test today and I think that went well. I've hit an impasse playing guitar, I'm having a really difficult time with barre cords, specifically when trying to play the song, "Stairway to Heaven." I've been working at it though and I believe I'm improving; practice makes perfect!

A day of suspense.....

This week my high school is supposed to get searched by some team of 20 people, in which they search our bookbags, and us, taking about 4-6 hours. It hasn't happened all week so it really thought it would happen today, but it still didn't. So that means that were going to have tomorrow on a Friday, so basically I won't be doing anything school related on Friday. However today I was kinda disappointed, expecting to happen.

Injured!

not the best start to the morning.   Went to the gym with some friends. Today was chest day so a lot of pushups and bench pressing. Before ending my workout, I was knocking out 185 on the bench press. One of my friends thought it would be a nice joke to yank off a 45 off of the left end of the bar. Once he did, the right side of the bar came crashing down on my arm. Didn't break or tear anything, but in a lot of pain. Had to wear an arm brace for the entire day, even at TKD. Might be on it for a few more days too. If some of you remember Master Aurbach, he went through years of TKD with only one arm. So I didnt have any excuses to not come to class today. it was interesting to figure out how to change...

So it turns out that I did miss some drama in art class while I was gone. So you know those dresses that I mentioned a while ago that we are making, well were in groups of four. So yesterday when I was in History, one of the girls in my group asked if I had switched groups. I told her no, and I had no idea where that came from. So then this morning when I was in Science, one of the girls in the other group, we'll call her A, she told me that a girl from her group, lets call her M, apparently SWITCHED PLACES with me and M is in my group and I am in A's group. I was like oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So then later in math A was in that class. I asked why Im in her group and...

hello again. i didn't have time to journal yesterday so we're going to journal twice today. I just got back from school. The usual. I'm going to taekwondo in about an hour. And I have all of my homework done, so that's good. Life is good. And that's all. But I vaguely remember Master Evins saying that it had to be a paragraph or more, so I'm going to research a weird fact on the internet for more content on this blog. One second. FUN FACT: In England, The Speaker of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom is not allowed to speak. I'm going to go get started on my requirements. See you guys in an hour or two when I journal again.

hello, guys. It's me. Again. Hi. I told you I was going to journal for a second time, so here I am. journaling. For a second time. So I went to class, but I forgot to get my book signed. Stupid, right? So I'm going to ask tomorrow, and if I get rejected, welp, that's my fault. I shouldn't have been so dumb. Class was fine. I did a mentor session after that. Also fine. I am going to go to sleep now, good night everyone and have a good day tomorrow.

Tuesday

It is was good day at work. We had some strategic sessions with the leadership, and it was fairly productive. I find that there are so many people that are just passive about things. It is important to talk thought items and raise issues, and just get it out there for discussion. I think some people do not like conflict or debate, and so with 30+ people in the room, there were about 6 people that continued to ask questions and had information to share. I was one of those. I like to challenge myself and others, even if it means I get actions from the discussion. I came back to my mother-in-laws house and did some exercises and requirements. It was a good way to end a stressful day. Keep moving!!!!

Senior year of college is no joke...

Last year of college and already I've been bombarded with exams and 15 page essays. Been at school since 7:30 am and just got home for the day. Next couple of weeks will be even more hectic with family and more exams. Despite it all, I have been able to keep up to date with my requirements, but journaling not so much. Nevertheless, that will change this week. Eager to get through this cycle with no trouble at all.

School is finally starting to calm down and I'm able to relax instead of slave over poster boards and online charts. I started watching my neighbor's adorable dog while they're away. Other than that it's been an uneventful day. I'm really happy with the plant that I got for the cycle, I've found with a perfect place on my back porch for the plant as I care for it. I'm just settling down for bed now, I haven't been sleeping well lately so hopefully I get a good night's sleep.

This wee has been very busy. From going to Disney, to coming home and doing hours upon hours of homework. I haven't had much time to do much of anything. Also do you know the things like "Oh I missed one day of school and I missed 4 essays, fights, and all that." Well its true. I missed maybe 3 days of school and I come back to having a test tomorrow which I didn't know about, 12 math video notes due also tomorrow, and I missed all the "drama" at the lunch table. I missed a lot.

Spar one, spar all

This morning on the way to sparring class, I received a text from Grand Master Evins asking me to teach sparring. Always keeping me on my toes and challenging me. I love that! That is one of my most favorite classes to teach or participate. Hopefully the class had a good workout and got something out of it. As I finally start to grow up, I can safely say that all the things I thought I had figured out, I don't. That is today's lesson to myself. Keep learning, keep growing, aim high and bow low. Humility is the key to knowledge and progression. Had an awesome time in black belt class. Always a great class with Master Chelley Hartle. After class I was hoping to work more on the new Do Jong, but we had a meeting with friends for our schools fund raiser which somehow I got stuck on....

Today I did my empathy training and wrote the essay on my white belt challenge. It was kind of unnerving not hearing your own voice and I messed up a couple times. My essay I wrote in the afternoon then I tried to run but my leg has been tight for some time and it locked up. So I only ran a half a mile because of the muscle knot.

hello and monday i'm not saying happy monday because that would be a lie. it's a well known fact that everyone hates mondays. and sometimes you feel sorry for monday because it can be good sometimes, but most of the time you just wanna whack it with a baseball bat. today was normal. wake up. school. home. requirements. homework. that's basically all i did today. in other notes, i read a story about how someone used their washer as a salad spinner. i mean, it's a good concept, but in terms of sanitization and being clean, it's gross because the washer is where you clean your used clothes. you'd be eating used clothes salad. gross. so that's it. have a monday. not a happy monday. just a monday.

My shrub (Camie) is  doing well and I only have to water her two times per week. I'm usually not the best with plants whether I forget to give them water or I don't give them enough sun light or too much sunlight.

Got our Tree

Nate and I got our Cyprus trees today. I took some time to think about the significance of the tree. It is something for us to nurture and take of, which takes times and patience. I think that this could be related to our learning of Tae Kwon Do... it takes time and patience, and I also think it take the patience of our keepers (in this case our Masters and Instructors) to take the time to teach us and be patient as we learn. Not trying to read too far into it, but I think this is getting us more ready to be Instructors and teachers to others. Keep Moving!!!

Today Sara and I were woken up by Anna at 3 am. She had a fever, chills and a headache. By morning she felt a little better but was exhausted from the long night. Charlie also felt under the weather. I left the house at 6 and got home from work at 7pm to hear the days sick events. They both look like they don't feel well. I quickly did my exercises while watching the end of the Lego movie. We are all headed to bed. Hopefully this is a quick illness for them.

I have had a really stressful week, so today being pretty calm was a really nice change of pace. I slept in, ate, then went to go get my plant for the cycle. With help from my mom I was able to find a shrub that will hopefully be in bloom around the time we plant them. My mom and I then went out to do some other chores, while we were out we saw an old family friend that we hadn't seen in a while, it was nice catching up. I'm just settling down for bed now, prepared to start school again tomorrow.

Sara came home from work late morning, which was a great surprise. As she arrived, we(Charlie, Anna, the two dogs, and I) were headed out for a jog. On the way back, Sara was headed out, so I thought I would go a little further with her. Turned into a little more distance than I anticipated. Worked out in the end. After the run, Will and I went to Lowes for a door knob and some other stuff. Will convinced me that a trip to Target was needed to buy a small set of needed Legos. On the way home, Will and I stopped off at Tenders for lunch, it seamed like a good excuse to spend a little time...

Rooms at the Inn

I did the rooms at the inn again. It was another great experience. It was fantastic to meet these awesome men and hear their stories. These are just other human beings that need love. Our society sometimes cases them away and we need to actually pull them in. They deserve our love and it is amazing how love changes people. We call want to be wanted... so think about that next time you see someone on the street. Keep Moving!!!

I  went to Vegas and LA the past week. And honestly I am kind of sad because 1) I didn't get to see Shawn Mendes and 2)  I had gotten souvenirs for my close friends, and now we can't find them. On the bright side, I started reading The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, and it so good! It has a little bit of romance and a little bit of adventure...basically the perfect novel.

Enter the Masters

Today, we had the first Tae Kwon Do class in the Harrisburg school. We had the Masters training in our school and it was wickedly bodacious. What an honor to have so much knowledge in one location. It was great getting the ideas and suggestions on what to tweak to improve. We did miss the main man of King Tiger, Grand Master Evins, who is probably working out as you read this. We still have a way to go, but it's getting there. I have mixed emotions of February 2nd. A part of me hopes time will stop for a few days to get more done, and the other part wants smack the big red button and let it begin! Thank you all who have helped promote this. Even just liking or sharing our page and posts does so much. Nothing great is ever accomplished alone. Love, peace and chicken grease....

Today I worked with my mentee, helped a class, took my regular class and later took sparring class. Whenever we have short weeks they always feel longer then regular weeks tome and today went by slowly. I usually take sparring class on Saturdays, but because I was in Hilton Head last weekend I had to make up for it today.

Hello, Tod...

Hello, Today went by like a blur. After waking up I headed to work for meetings, then it seamed like everyone needed something that I didn't anticipate. Therefore, I was there longer than anticipated. I then I went and got all three kids their first savings account. Long overdue. Time to teach them about responsible saving. Then off to kick boxing, and black belt class, my favorite part of the day. However, about to sit down to Chinese food and a movie with the kids, it might turn into my favorite part of the day.

Thursday

It was an okay day at work. It was a little crazy and I have a feeling people are down a little on things. I am trying to keep people positive, but we have some stuff that is just not getting done right and think people are frustrated. I am working hard to keep everyone positive but it is hard. Tonight was a good night of TKD. We worked on many things. I really enjoy sparring. I still have a bunch to learn and I need to get more flexible. I am getting faster but I need to be able to strike faster and get my left leg around after... and I know flexibility is critical. I am trying to stretch more, but not enough. We took Wednesday off this week and we went to our Church Ministries (Nate went to pre-teens and I went to men's ministry). It was great...

I was pretty tired after being up all night at work. I drove home in the rain, which always seems more depressing, when you are tired. Once at home took a shower and went to bed, I love flannel sheets. Got up and did my exercises. Welcomed Will home from work, then we headed to Tai Quan Do for the evening. Met with my mentee between classes. His mother told me that for the first time, he was excited to come to class. Cool.

it is the end of the day and i am exhausted. i'm always exhausted at the end of the day, though, so i guess it doesn't really matter. I helped out with two or three classes today and i got those credits and i guess it was worth it. i also got some stuff to add to my requirements, so that's good. i have been sorta sick for the past few days (i was out with a fever last tuesday and wednesday) and have been recovering for the past week. everything's gone but the coughing and runny nose. which is really bad because those always take so long to go away for me. but anyway, school was fine. just the same. today was a little more eventful though, because we did a fashion show in spanish where we had to read a script written in spanish by the students while people...

Journal 26 January 23rd, 2019

Both yesterday and today we spent at two Disney parks. Yesterday we went to Animal Kingdom. There is this scavenger hunt think that is all over the park and you get like a pin or something for completing it. The only problem, all of the checkmarks close at 5. I did it when I was maybe in second grade but the last stop closed and I never finished. But now I'm hoping that I can finish it, eight years later. Today we war to the Magic Kingdom. Its my favorite park. We went on a few rides, ate lunch, rode some more rides, and then watched the fireworks. Over these past four days I have walked over 20 miles and my feet are killing me. But today was so much fun.
