I really need to start doing these more often, so today is the Super Bowl Chiefs need to win, requirments are going well, yesterday was a long day because I had to do Sparring then BB class, then go to community service which was fun, but thats it bye.
Today started with Junior Tigers focus and teamwork, moved on to practicing self-defense with Master Tucker and then black belt class with plenty of kicking, rolls, falls, and poomsaes including Jameson forms and traditional basic form 1. Went to the afternoon shift of our community service project and sorted some canned food. There was quite a bit of waiting for the last group to bring their collected food, so I was able to work with Andrew and later with Vina on self-defense. Practice, practice, practice, and then practice some more. My nephew is visiting again. It's nice for him to visit, especially since my boys aren't home.
Today has been really good and productive, got a haircut and got my daily requirements done before helping out at the community service project which was nice. After that I had to meet up at my aunt and uncles house for the rest of the day and that was really fun!
Today has been long but awesome. Helped in junior Tigers class, then helped in black belt class. Master Dege, Master Burkhart and I all took a section of the class and taught different things. Then we went to help with the food drive for our community service project. I had to come home and rest for a bit, but then I started working on requirements. I have discovered that I need to say the belt level and the number of each self-defense out loud as I do them to help keep me focused on which belt level I’m actually doing. Hopefully this will prevent them from swimming around in my head and getting all jumbled.
Today is a busy day.today at 9:00 we had our basketball pictures our team pictures and individual pictures then at 10:00 we had our basketball game and we won by one point 23-22.then we went to community service.then we went to my house for a few hours cause I did not feel good.Now I am doing this and going to pick up my dad from the airport.so bye ????
Today was a good day. In the morning I had sparring. After sparring I helped out family class. Then I did black belt class. I had the 1:00pm part for the community service project. Everyone for the morning part did mostly everything. All we got to do was carry banana boxes and sort a few cans. The rest we just sat there and talked. I am doing my requirements right now. We are going to eat outside today. I hope you had a great day. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight I decided to take the night off from doing requirements, Instead I did some cooking and enjoy the time off. My ankle and knee should be happy , rest time.
Today in black belt class we did our kicks, trained over some of the poomsaes and forms. Later on I went to my community service and helped stacked cans in the containers. I did not do as much as I wanted to do. I went to dairy queen afterwards and took a rest. I still have some requirements to do later.
Hey guys! Today in the morning I went to TKD and took sparring and black belt class, I also was able to get a mentee session in. After I went straight to do community service, I’m upset that there was barely anything to do. It’s my brothers birthday today, so we are going out to eat for dinner. Hope everyone had a good day! Bye!
1 month in the books!! Goals for February. Increasing running to 4-5 days a week. Jump Rope everyday. I want to be more consistent with these two requirements. Great Black Belt Class today. I liked working on falls and feel like all my falls are improving. Working this afternoon so looking forward to a nice run tomorrow.
I can't believe it is February already. January was a blur, but I should have expected that. Work started crazy in the new year and has not slowed down yet. I am working seven days a week now at 10-12 hours a day just to keep up. Travel has diminished, but I expect to have a couple of trips in the Feb/March timeframe. The new house is going great, and the workout room we have set up is perfect. I will post some pics soon. I hope to see you in class this upcoming week.
This has been a really long week! I finally moved into my new house on Wednesday and we have been getting the house set up. My room is big. The dogs really like the house. Today I have go go to my community service day, I hope it is going to be fun.
Today I got up early and did my requirements before sparring class because we are going to South Carolina for my sister’s volleyball tournament. I also met with my mentor. Not excited about the car ride today.
Good Morning. Yesterday was a good day. Came home from school and went to BB Class. We came back home and I had dinner and I was so tired that I went to bed. This morning I woke up early to get my stuff done. Will be leaving for the Community Service in a hour or so. Have a good day!
Friday is always a good day. A lot of people work from home on Fridays which means the office is almost empty. That is often good for productivity. I left a little early today and got home and worked on my requirements. I also got some practice in on my guitar, I enjoy practicing so much it makes me wonder why I didn't get started before now. Ohh well, better late than never. :-) Dinner was family pizza night and we watched Spider-Man: Far From Home.
The last day of January was okay. I just finished my project. I am excited for tomorrow, the community service.
Today was a normal school day and I'm glad its Friday. Kickboxing was fun but tiring and I did some requirements.
Today was good, Friday’s are always good if you ask me... I had the first half of my stats test today and a quiz in chem which I thought both went really well but other than that it was a pretty normal day. I’m really excited that the kick boxing classes are starting back up and I had fun attending that alongside blackbelt class today.
I like Fridays, good day at work. Black belt class. Got to spend and hour with a good friend. Great ready for a busy Saturday!
I like Fridays, good day at work. Black belt class. Got to spend and hour with a good friend. Great ready for a busy Saturday!
hey guys! im so glad that it's finally the weekend!!! I didn't have any homework so I was able to knock out my requirements once I got back home. I went to TKD today and got some credits and a mentor session in. Hope everyone had a good Friday! bye!!
Let it snow,let it snow, let it snow. Well ok it only snow for about 15 min or so today. No need to buy Bread or milk.
Today I went to master Shellys school for black belt class. It was really fun. I got a ton of credits and I also got a leadership 2.
Today was was a pretty normal day, despite the fact that it was Multicultural Day.The reason why I'm not very excited for that is I have to wear a costume to school. But at school it snowed today! That was the only good thing that happened at school. When I got home I ate and did my requirements since i didn't have any homework. After that I went to go write this journal. Later I'm planning on eating diner and reading.
Today I was planning to go to the lake Norman school for black belt class but it ended up we didn't go because my sister got home late. Its really doesn't matter right now because I got some extra time to get done with my work and to track. After this journal I'm going to just read, so have a good day to all!
Well… I just entered a journal entry and evidently it has disappeared... so here I go again. I am very excited that it’s Friday. This was a long week. Tonight I’m going to go eat dinner with my friend Beth and then hopefully get some requirements in. Did 40 push-ups this morning but that was it. It’s raining and cold! Fortunately, I bought a furnace today and my house is warming up!
Today was a good day. First I had school. Right now I am working on my requirements. After requirements my mom says we might go out for dinner. Hope you have a great rest of your day. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today has been a pretty good day so far. Even though it is cold and rainy...not the most motivating weather. Had a great long workout at the gym. Getting set up for Parents Night Out at my dojang in just a bit. Glow in the dark obstacle courses, indoor snowball fights, pizza, and a movie! Fun times. See everyone tomorrow for the community service project!
its free-day friday bc i am finally FREE from the clutches of school. today was good. we had a donut sale @ school so i got a doughnut for breakfast and then went to my first class. while i was walking to one of my other classes later in the day, it suddenly started snowing and as the day progressed it turned into a heavier snowfall so in the middle of class we all just rushed outside and started trying to catch snowflakes and throwing bits of snow at each other. it was fun but was cut short after 10 min bc the teacher yelled at us to get back inside or we would _(insert threat bc idr what she said)_. i'm home now and unfortunately has stopped snowing but it's okay bc i still had fun. have a great day everyone and i'll see ya mañana.
Another day off from school! I’m going to urban air today. I’m going to get some requirements and homework done before I go. Looking forward to a fun day!
Good morning. Yesterday was looong. From school went straight to my classes and then from there to sparring. Master Marcus worked us out. I got a few sparring rounds in. Finally it’s weekend and Super Bowl!
Not ideal to be doing poomsaes at 11:20 pm. Where there is a will there is a way. On a brighter note kitchen is clean, got to sparring tonight and a mentor session. My mentor Jason is awesome. I love what he picks up on my poomsaes to fix and how he helps me with my self defense techniques. I think these sessions will make all the difference in my improvements.
I can't believe that the month is already over. But that was really quick. I did most of my requirements. I have 2 projects and I have a social issue awareness, thing that we are starting.
Seems like a long time since I drove home from work before dark. Tomorrow is the last day in January and work wise it seems like forever, but requirements wise it flew by. Is it just me? I do feel better about the taekwon forms, and believe it or not, even double stick forms, but there are other things that still seem so unfamiliar. Hopefully I will learn everything I need to know before testing. I do not like to feel unprepared. Looking forward to our community service project this weekend.
I worked from home today and got some good work on my requirements. I went on a good long run around lunch time and that made me good and sore for red stripe week class. Still trying to work on the bolo form but I seem to have staff form 2 down finally.
hey, i haven't journalled in a week but i'm back and will be here tmrw and the day after that bc honestly i reaaaallly need to journal more. today was okay. school and tkd was normal. by now, i'm looking forward to going home from school on friday. i hope you guys had a good week so far and sleep well, goodnight
Got home from Black Belt class at about 9:30 pm. I was able to fit about 30 minutes of pushups, situps and burpees in, but I'm going to have to call it a night. My furnace died of old age and I haven't had heat for the past 2 days. I'm having a new furnace installed tomorrow for $3,500.00. That's a very painful price. I wasn't expecting it, but we never do expect those kinds of things. We worked on Espada y Daga 1-4 in my Mentor session with Master Cavazos tonight, and Master Dege and I practiced our creative form. Now I'm off to bed.
Today in class I worked with Master Marcus for staff form and special self defense. We then did our sparring at the half end mark of class. I will study more for my test tomorrow and get some rest.
When someone helps you and they're struggling too, that's not help, THATS LOVE. ????
Today was a regular school day and a regular day on the cycle. I went to school and received 1 piece of homework. Vocabulary homework, it was really easy. Before I did my homework I went to piano class and King Tiger. I got leadership 1, a mentee session, and a black belt class in. Tomorrow is a big day so I’m gonna prepare myself for tomorrow.
Today was a good day. First I had school. I forgot to tell you that my dad is volunteering for camp thunderbird(3-day field trip)!!!!! And for AIG we are going to go to JA BisTown we found out are jobs today. I am the CEO of Albemarle foundation! P.S CEO = boss! After school I did some of my requirements. After doing requirements I went to sparring class. Lake Norman location. Lastly I had dinner. Right now I am going to bed. Hope you had a good day. BYE!!!!!!!!!!
It’s almost Friday, yay this week has been so long and I can’t wait to finally get to the weekend I have soccer practice and I can’t wait I’ve also been practicing all my drawing skills so now I can draw a perfect germ for Science class. (Don’t ask why it’s a germ) We also got to fill them out in the hallway today in the theme for a film with Stranger Things. It was so much fun
Today was kinda tiring but I really enjoyed sparring class. My school work is starting to get tougher as we begin EOG prep and enter new topics. I have to study a bit more on scatterplots just to make sure I'm using the calculator correctly. I've been doing well on my requirements and I almost have all of my leadership 2s done. Have a good night everyone!
Busy past few days! Getting the rest of the trades in, security and cable/internet installed, and the rest of my furniture came today! My house has everything, just have to put it all together. These next few days is going to be a whirlwind! I am very tired, but I'm still keeping up with my requirements amazingly enough! I'm not going super hard core but I'm getting enough done per day. Sparring later tonight and I'm excited. 1 of my students is coming! Should be a good class.
Hey guys! I’m excited it’s almost the weekend yayayay!! I didn’t have much homework, so I was able to start on my requirements early. I’m going to TKD today to get come credits and classes in. Tomorrow at school we don’t have any tests or quizzes, meaning I don’t have to study for anything- yaya! Hope everyone is having a great Thursday so far! Bye!
I found out yesterday that my school is closed for a week! That is awesome news! I have plenty of time to get my requirements in today. I am not sure of the plan today, but I’m sure it will be something fun! I have soccer practice and black belt class tonight.
Good morning. Yesterday was a good day. I had PE and finished all my physical requirements in school. Went to class and got my leadership credits and also my mentee session. Today is going to be a crazy day with classes straight from school. Have a good day.
Well, I made it to yoga class after work tonight and boy did I need that! Yoga is in my building after work, so it's easy to go back to work if I have things to finish up. When I got back from yoga, I realized my boss was still there. I knew I have things to prepare for her meetings tomorrow and figured I'd work on them, but didn't expect her to still be there. I ended up bringing work home to finish, so not much time for requirements, especially since I need to be at the office earlier than usual. Unfortunately as well, the normal stress relief effects from yoga tonight are long gone. Don't wish to know what I'd feel like if I hadn't gone. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little more requirements friendly.
Well I didn’t meet my goal of journaling everyday in January which is a little disappointing. Other than that everything seems to be going well and on track. 3 more days and we will have 4 weeks in the books!!!
Well I didn’t meet my goal if Journaling everyday in January which is disappointing. Had a good visit with my mom and sisters. Flew back today. Nice to be home.
Great day at family class today. We trained with Jason on our poomsaes, blocks, and self defenses in class. I then went home to do my requirements. I did my homework and studied my notes for school.
Today was pretty tiring. Especially because my bus dropped me home 1 hour later. After I got home I had to go to dance class, I could only go to jazz class because I was very late for ballet ????. I got back from dance and took a shower then ate dinner and wrote this journal.
Today was a good day. First I had school. After school I did some of my requirements. Next I went to king tiger to do leadership and I also got with my mentee. Then I had dinner. I am going to bed. BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today was a good day. In the morning/afternoon I had school. Then in the evening I did my requirements. Then I went to king tiger. I was not able to do my journal yesterday(Its the 29th) because I got home a 9:30 and my bedtime is 9:00 and I had to get ready for school. So I am doing it today. BYE!!!!!!!!.
Had a good day , got a little tired towards the end of the evening. Will go to bed early.
I had the same day as yesterday requirements, school, helping at TKD, soccer, homework, now doing this, the going off to the pillow to catch some ZZZ ????
So instead of just adding another day, I will just "repeat" yesterday. Today was the same- school, homework, requirements. I was able to go to TKD and get some credits and a mentee session in. I just want Friday to come already- im ready for the weekend! Well, that's about it. Hope everyone had a good Wednesday!
Today I went to school and came back and got ready to go to king tiger tae kwan do. I wanted to get leadership two today but when I heard sawyer needed 1 more, I just gave it to him and said "tommrow i'll get it. Now I here stuck and doing nothing and most likely gonna die from boredom...
Today at school we did multiplying fractions,and in reading we are doing geology and grammar.after I went to school I went to Tkd then I went to my turtoring and I did pretty good,then after that I went home to finish my requirements,watch TV,open my birthday presents,clean my room,try my new KOBE BRYANT jersey,and do my journal.BUT NOW I AM GETTING READY FOR BED SO BYE AND GOODNIGHT ????????.
Found all of the answers to the written test! Out of 80 questions, i knew probably 60ish off the top of my head. Definitely had to look up some of the tougher ones towards the end. I love learning new things about TaeKwonDo! I got in 2 mentor sessions already this week, and 2 mentee sessions. I must say, my mentees are looking pretty good! I am definitely looking forward to the community service this Saturday!
Worked, ate dinner, and now I'm working on self defense- Bo Cho Dan all the way up to special self defense # 4. I'm going to do it over and over and over to make sure it sticks. Pushups, situps and burpees after each belt level self defense and then I'll finish with a few rounds of sparring combinations and jump rope.
I have two tests today which is difficult. Also, I have a math test tomorrow but I am studying very hard for it. I have a mentee session today and I plan on getting leadership 1 and 2.
Good morning. Yesterday was a long day. From school went to classes and then went to sparring. Got in a lot of sparring and jump rope rounds. Master Marcus made us sweat a lot. I also did my mentor session. Have a good day!
Today I’m going on a field trip with my class. We are going to the oldest house in Charlotte. It’s a half day for me! My mom is going on the field trip too so we get to leave after and go out to lunch. Hoping to get some requirements done before school so I can have a break this afternoon!
Today felt like a Monday, but I was able to get out of work at a reasonable time to get over 3 miles and 130 burpees in before black belt class. I was able to get to the dojang early enough to go over self defense with Master Burkart before class up to green belt. After class, I worked with mentees on self-defense, staff form 2 and rolls and falls. Unfortunately, not many other requirements today for me and now it's time to sleep. Just realized it's been a few days since I added to the tracker, so will update that now. Goodnight all!
Today I woke up as usual go to school get tons of homework. But since today was Tuesday, I had Science Olympiad so I had to stay at school for another hour. Then when I got home I went to King Tiger to get leadership 1, black belt class, mentee, and mentor session. At the end of the day I had tacos for dinner and did my homework until 10:45 and now this!
Today, the school was pretty fun. It was a good start for the 2nd semester and 3rd quarter. In science, we are learning about the Human Body Systems. We are doing this fun Group project, where we all- the group members, choose one of the following areas to focus on. Cardiology, Pulmonology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Infectious Disease, and Orthopedic Surgery. We are also starting a project in Social Studies about the Revolutions. This quarter will be pretty interesting. That was my day! Bye.
Today we did sparring class in Tae Kwon Do. After we did that I did some mentoring for kicks, poomsaes and self defense. I then went home to work on some more requirements a bit more then rest.
Long day today. A beloved patient passed away and I found out that one of my colleagues has Cancer. Life happens whether we are ready for it or not. I crashed Master Cavazos's Mentor session tonight after class because I'm falling a little behind after missing class the day my son's car broke down. Working on the Jidokwan staff forms makes me miss Grandmaster Jung. It was amazing to be able to learn from him. I'm having flight of ideas! And, it's so late, I don't think I'm going to get any additional requirements done tonight.
Today was a good day. I worked from home and got some work done on my requirements. When the boys came home from school Erik and I went for a good run around the neighborhood. After dinner we went up to the dojang. Erik is doing his white belt challenge so he was in class as a white belt while I did a mentor session with Master Knight. We worked on staff, stick, and bolo forms along with knife special. Still working out a few kinks.
We finally had soccer practice. It’s been a while due to rain but besides that today was fun, I did a mentor session and learned my 3rd staff form. Good day ????????
Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, one step at a time.????♂️????♂️????♂️
Today was a busy day! I had school, soccer practice, and black belt class. I’m tired and ready for bed!
My grandparents are here this weekend! I was super excited and got to hang out with them on Sunday. The other thing I did was go for a six-mile run. I went with my dad and we split it into two parts running 3.25 twice. I really enjoyed talking with him and I'm really happy that he is running again. I have to go to bed now so I'll be back in class tomorrow.
Hey guys! Today was a good day- but like you guys already know- school, homework, requirements. I’m going to TKD to get credits and take class. Well that’s about it! Bye!!
It's a good thing I am good at Project Management! I had so much going on today with my trades, moving, and budgets. Tomorrow is the big day, the official move! We have most of the apartment ready to go, just have to clean up lose ends to get things out of the way. We are all more than ready to get moved in. I wasn't able to get all of my requirements in, but I still have a sparring class to go to tonight and I teach my students in about an hour so Im sure I can get the rest of them hammered out. In February I plan on going back and concentrating on my time for running. Since I've been having to deal with moving and everything, I've just been running just to run, not really trying to get faster. In Feb, that changes and hopefully I can...
Had a quick morning and breakfast with my mother. Went to the little gym for 2 hours. I wasn’t very efficient but got everything done. Working on making my poomsaes smoother but now I think I am moving tooooo slow. Need to speed them up a little. Treadmill running is the absolute worst. And it is 72 degrees in the little room. Blah. Flying back home tomorrow early. Looking forward to running outside tomorrow.
Today I had a bunch of math due but i turned it all in and i had a soccer workout and it was so hard and im sore
Good Morning. Yesterday was a good day. I went to class and got my credits. Came back home and went to bed. Waiting at the bus stop for my bus. Have a good day.
Today, I had no school. I got to do my homework for the next couple of days and then I went to TKD t get dome leadership credits done. I also got my mentee and mentor session done. I am excited for the school dance that I am a part of. I am in the student council and I am a secretary! This year will be really fun!
Today I went to black belt at master chins school in Belmont. It was really fun and I got one on one training with him. I practiced lots of things. Good Monday
This is my first full week back at school and i have like 5 tests!but i am ready for all of them and i got a 92 on pysch
I've been sweating it through the last few days about getting a truck inspected, I Had till the end of the month To get it done. I get to the place and they tell me my truck is old and it doesn't need inspection anymore.????♂️
Everyone got up as usual this morning and we got the day going. I had a full day of work training but before we got started I got a call to come pick up a kid from school. Luckily Angel called around and one of our friends could step in and help us out, After my training I came home and worked on my requirements. Tomorrow we will be going back to the dojang.
Flew to Salem NH after black belt class of Saturday. Here to help my Mom out with somethings. Took yesterday off all together which was not planned but nice. Today I went to the gym at my mother place, very tiny however no one goes to it and there was a mirror which I find helpful doing poomsaes. Went over there this morning, then again in the this afternoon to catch up. Got a bunch of things done that my mom wanted to do and then we made dinner for 3 of my sisters and their family’s so that was fun.
Today I went to school and got loads of homework. When I came home I ate pizza then went to King Tiger TKD to help out with class. I got in leadership 1&2 after 3 classes. It was really fun! After I came home I started on my homework and finished around 8:30pm. And now I eat!
Not a bad Monday! Got a chance to work with Grandmaster Evins and Master Cavazos this morning. Worked on sticks curriculum, as well as Double Stick Form #1. Also had a chance to practice TaeKwon Il, Yi, AND Sam. Feeling a lot better about those. I just found out what essays I have to do, so I will get cracking on that ASAP.
It's 8:00 pm and I haven't started working on requirements yet (except the mile walk which I did at lunch). It's going to be a late night. I was up early but couldn't do my usual pushups, situps and burpees because I had to be at work early, so that threw my routine out of whack. I'll stay at work tomorrow until Black Belt Class because I just can't face the 45 min-1 hr drive home from work in traffic and then the 40 minute drive to class and then the 40 minute drive back home. I know I complain about the drive a lot, but it's just no fun.
Today I went to school and it wasn't half bad. After school I came home and got to do another mentor session with Gabriel. I helped with some small things for dinner. After I worked some on my homework for this week. And am working on some requirements before bed.
Dear John Have you ever watched Naked and Afraid I have and it scares the heck out of me. Would you go 21 days naked and living primative off the land. I know I would not but that is crazy how these people live and do not tap out. I would tap out the first few hours especially with bugs. So I think I would be with you and live at Harris Teeter. LOL Until next time John Out
I worked on my project in my visual arts class today. It was a regular school day. I did some requirements this afternoon. I'm heading out to family class.
Hey guys! You already know it- school, homework, requirements. Today I’m planning to go to TKD to get some credits in and maybe a mentee session. Well that’s really it. Hope everyone had a good day so far! Bye!!
Yesterday I went to Defy Gravity and I got a lot of my falls and rolls completed. It was s fun way to work out! Today it’s raining so no run. I had school and then I am meeting with my mentor and mentee.
Today is a great day so far. In the morning I woke up late, no school teacher workday. I did some homework and worked on my requirements. My mom took me for a hair cut. Right now I just finished it I am having lunch. In the evening I plan to finish my requirements. Hope you have a great rest of your day!!!
Good Morning. Woke up a little late today as there is no school. Finishing my assignments and will start working on my requirements soon. I look forward to seeing everyone in class this evening. Have a good day.
Had a great training session at the park today with Master Tucker and Master Burkart! We worked on many poomsaes. I was worried that it would be too cold, but I had enough layers and even had to shed some before we finished. After Master Burkart had to leave, Master Tucker and I worked on double stick 2 many times and our creative poomsae. I am really excited about how our creative poomsae is turning out. Now we have to learn it as if we have practiced it for a long time.
I went for a 2 mile run in the afternoon. After that I did my push ups, sit ups, burpees and other requirements. I was surprised how sore I was from black belt class yesterday. I took some time with my Playstation. It was fun and a good day.
I am so tired today! We have been moving our stuff into our new house the whole weekend and we aren't done yet. We have a lot of stuff! My room was painted yesterday and I got to choose the color in my bathroom. I am doing a beach theme so I did a sky blue color. My mom is working real hard to get the house done before our super bowl party. I like watching the puppy bowl and kitten half time show, they are so cute! My mom and I have been doing our requirements in between moving our stuff. It is so hard! I will be glad when the movers come.
Today was a good day. In the morning I was not able to do anything except for homework. Then I had lunch. After lunch I worked on my requirements for the rest of the time. Then I had dinner and went to bed.
Today was day #3 of moving stuff into the new house while avoiding getting in the way of the paint crew. I think we are at the point now that we can't move anything without the help of the movers. The painting process has come along really well. I chose colors that I was nervous about but they came out really nice! I changed the mater bathroom color though, but I think it'll work out. Hopefully the painting will be done tomorrow, im ready to start putting things up on the walls and getting a head start on that. I still need to buy fans....My pavers guys start tomorrow, I am very excited to see how that looks! During all this craziness this week, I was still able to stay on top of my requirements! Not bad!
