Today was a mid day. I woke up late because I didn’t go to school today (because of fever) and I just chilled at home the whole day. Then I went to Taekwondo class and got some requirements done

Well the website was down so I just got to catch up on my journal. today i had a ckla test about reformation. i also had math tutorting in the afternoon. when i got home my  mimi came over and she gave me this giant chain necklace she got for me while she worked at the superbowl. i worked on some physical requirements and had to read 2 books. one is a cookbook so i can continue learning to cook and also i have to read it for school because my teacher says we need to read manuals and biographies and cookbooks since its more boring than kids books. and another book because we are reading it as our novel study and we are going to see a play about it too.

Journal #48 - 3/02/2026 Lalitha

Today was normal. I had a retest for ELA (even though I already passed — still not sure why I had to retake it), but I got a 100 on it. School went by in a blur. I went for a run in the morning, and after my last block I fell asleep for a bit before getting ready for TKD. In PMAA we worked on single stick since our test is next week — I think we’ll pass without any issues :> it was pretty funny today. After that I helped out with the Senior Tigers since it was their belt ceremony (congrats!). Master Evins called me up to the front to help hand out the belts. We worked on sparring since it’s sparring week. After that I had a mentee session with Emelia. We worked on her last belt forms, self‑defenses, and kicks. Since I’ve taught her all the...

Journal #47 - 3/01/2026 Lalitha

Today was normal. I woke up, did my requirements, studied, and finished my homework. My parents and I went for a walk outside and got around 2.5 miles in. After that I practiced my poomsaes and weapon forms, then had dinner. I can already feel that this week is going to be super tiring and rough, but I just have to keep going. I finished the day helping my parents vacuum. For some reason I suddenly grabbed all my art supplies from my desk and moved them to a separate shelf — maybe that’s a sign to lock in even more, lol. I reviewed the Instructor’s Camp book Master Weeks gave me (truly grateful for that) and studied for the written part of the test. Overall, a steady Sunday. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷    ^-^

Instructors Camp

Instructors camp yesterday was blast! I had a great time learning from everybody. I think the highlight of the day was doing TKD aerobics with Master Chelley. That was a lot more fun than I expected it to be. It was so interesting listening to Grandmaster Lee talk about how the things we practice in forms can be used in a practical situation. All and all, yesterday was fantastic and I look forward to participating in Instructors Camp again next year.

March 1st

Yesterday, I couldn't journal or log my requirements because I was outside, like the whole day. I still finished all my requirements yesterday, so I just logged them today. Today, though, I woke up really early and felt the need to finish all my physical requirements for today. The rest of today, I have to go shopping to buy new clothes, go to D-Bat, and go to the Y to get some more miles in. That's all right now because it's only noon, so I'll see yall later.

We didn't have black belt class today so I was able to sleep. When I got up, I went on a run with my father and did some exercises. Later this afternoon we went to Greensboro and ate at this all you can eat sushi restaurant to celebrate my father, grandfather and aunt's birthdays. The food was good and it came on a conveyor belt or you could order from the menu as well.

Journal #46 - 2/28/2026 Lalitha

Today was a regular Saturday. Since there was no BBC weekend class, I woke up and practiced what we would usually do at that time. After that I had breakfast and spent most of the morning working on homework and finishing my requirements. While my dad went out for groceries, I helped clean the house. Later, I helped make dinner and accidentally cut myself twice with the knife — I guess I was going a little too fast. I didn’t eat dinner yet, but my parents watched me do all my poomsaes, self‑defenses, and kicks. After that I unloaded the groceries, read a bit, journaled, and called it a day.  Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

School was fun, and I didn't have that much work. Today was the deadline, so I was just finishing all the work that I hadn't completed, which was nothing. I played volleyball in PE, and that was really funny. Today, after school, was the first actual day of baseball tryouts, and I did well. The conditions outside were terrible and wet, so I couldn't play at my best, but I tried my hardest. Today, I had no Taekwondo because it is closed due to the Instructor's Camp. I finished my homework, my physical requirements for the day, and then chilled. I then watched a movie that was 3 hours long with my mom, and that was mid. Tomorrow, I will be at D-Bat the majority of the day because I need to practice for tryouts on Monday and Tuesday, and also because Taekwondo is cancelled tomorrow.

Had work this morning, then got packed up to head to Greenville for instructor's camp. Usually we take the motor home, but there was a leak in the water tank, so we decided to stay at a hotel. Also that meant I don't get an infinite amount of leg room since we got to take the car.

Today was alright. I got a little homework for school over the weekend, none that can't be managed. After school I came home and got to my requirements. I went to class later in the evening. class was pretty good, we went over weapons a lot. When I came home, I packed everything I needed for Instructors camp tomorrow. I am going to bed very early because we have to be at King Tiger by 4:00 AM to be in Greeneville by 8:30. I'm looking forward to what will be going on tomorrow, this years schedule seems pretty fun.

An Off Day

Today started off ok but by the end I was just exhausted and wanted to go home. School was alright, nothing much to report. I came right to KT for work and then class. The kids were a lot today and I just wasn't feeling it in rolls and falls or BBC tonight (the rain didn't help either). I'm looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow and getting caught up on somethings. I hope everyone who is going has a wonderful time at Instrucotrs Camp and learns a lot. Have a great weekend. ~ Peyton

Arvaan's Diary - Day 51 Of Black Belt Journey

Today was great, or was it? I had digital art for my encore and did dividing decimals and multiplying decimals worksheets and got a 100 on both of them. I also got the results for my weather unit post test and my unit 5 math post test! I got between 90 and 100 on both of them. I also did a check in and got a 100 on that, too! I played games for 45 minutes and did my journal. I did my physical requirements minus running since it was wet outside. Then, I started my nutrition challenge for 30 days. Today is my 1st day. Have a good cycle and weekend!

Journal #45 - 2/27/2026 Lalitha

Today was pretty normal. I got a 92 on my science test (there’s still one question left to be graded), and I worked on my Computer Science project during class. After that I studied my study guides — both TKD and school work — and turned off my computer earlier than usual to help my mom. Later I helped make dinner, journaled, read a bit, listened to Atomic Habits, and edited an essay. I’ll probably draw too. Since it’s Friday, there was no taekwondo class, so I just practiced on my own. I finished my requirements and called it a day. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

School was mid today. Finished my work and got on with class. PE was fun today because my team won both our volleyball games, and I think I was the star player of both. We also had a weird schedule in school today because the 6th graders went on a field trip. In Spanish, we reviewed our answers to these two worksheets and then turned them in for an easy 100. I was supposed to have my first day of baseball tryouts today, but it was pouring really hard outside, so that got cancelled. I was really bummed because I was looking forward to tryouts. Instead, I went to my Mathcounts meeting at school and had a lot of fun there. When I came back home, I ate some food, finished my physical requirement for the day, and then got ready for Taekwondo. In Taekwondo today, I helped out with a...

I had quite a busy day today. School was normal, nothing to eventful. When I got home, I doubled up on my requirements in order to get ahead to make up for what I will miss for Instructors camp. After an overwhelming amount of requirements, I went to King Tiger for sparring class. We got to do this new drill were two people on either side of you hold targets and your goal was to kick them while maneuvering yourself down the mat. After sparring class, I came home and hit the books; I got a math test tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the last day of my nutrition challenge. My nutrition challenge was to eat 100 percent natural foods which has been really difficult. especially because everything that I am aloud to eat has to be made and prepared. - Lucas

Last entry!

Today was pretty good. I woke up as usual and got dressed while my mom packed my lunch. It was raining so that wasn't fun and it kind of put us behind schedule a little, but we made it to school at a decent time. When I got to class, I got all of my work done and made a trailer for our movie for 4 boys 1 car. After that I completed my math tasks and worked on a reading test. We've been doing a lot of tests and review lately even though our benchmarks aren't until after spring break. Thankfully we have next Tuesday off with a half day on Friday. I'm looking forward to going to OH for spring break and since I'm not where I wanted/need to be in my physical fitness requirements, my mom has made sure that my dad is aware of my responsibilities I...

Journal #44 - 2/26/2026 Lalitha

Today was pretty normal overall. School went by in a blur, and even though I didn’t feel great in the morning, did my requirements, a nap helped a lot. After that I showered, practiced a bit, and headed to TKD. I helped with the Senior Tigers class and then had a mentor session with Master Weeks where we worked on stick form 1 and a few different poomsae. My lower right abdomen was cramping from kicks, but I pushed through it. Once I got home, I ate, studied, finished my homework, and reviewed self‑defense videos on a separate monitor. I listened to Atomic Habits, restarted journaling, and might draw a small sketch before bed. I drank green tea and plan to read to end the night. Just a steady, productive day. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. — ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

Arvaan's Diary - Day 50 Of Black Belt Journey

Today was pretty calm. I had music and my class was not so good today. they usually talk a lot. I ate some Doritos when I came home because I was hungry even though I ate my lunch at school. I did my stick and staff poomsaes and used the videos my dad took for me to practice! My sister is also very gullible these days. I tricked her to use her scooter just for fun. I gave back her scooter, did my I ready and ate dinner. Thanks for entertaining me with the journals you posted so I can read them!

Today I received my report card and it was very good. My parents and grandparents were pleased which made me happy. After school I was able to relax a little since we didn't have sparing class today. I worked on my poomsaes and did some pushups. I did go to black belt class and we worked on self defense. Got home and had enough time to eat dinner and play video games.

What student did I need the most energy for today? Not a black belt, not the group of 4 different kinds of yellow belts, not two of my mentees who are working on their hapkido forms, the three brand new white with yellows...close but nope. The single 5 year old white belt, Beau.  The energy radiating off this little boy was amazing. We worked on blocks tonight using a pool noodle...we barely made it past low blocks, he had to block me three times on each side in order to move on to the next thing. I honestly don't know who had more fun, Beau, his mom and grandma who were watching or me. There were some frustrations, lots of impromptu stunt falls but there were by far outweighed by the fun.  I was sweating when we finally got those last three successful low blocks and earned the right to play...

Today was ok at school. Just a regular day. After school, I went to King Tiger for leadership credits and a mentee session. When I came home, I started my requirements and I also went for a run. My neighborhood has many hills in it and by the fourth mile, running up those hills are quite difficult. However it was very nice weather to be running so that was really nice. After my requirements, I did some homework. I am looking forward to Saturday because one, it is instructors camp and two, Friday is the last day of my nutrition challenge. I think I am finally going to get a birthday cake because my birthday happened while I was on my nutrition challenge and was not able to eat cake over my birthday. This wraps up my day.

After that I finished my work, studied, did my requirements, and went out for a run. When I got back I ended up falling asleep, but once I woke up I practiced a bit more. Since there was Junior Tiger testing today, there was no Senior Tiger class or sparring, but we did have Black Belt class. We did light stretches and worked on our self‑defenses.

Very Productive Day

I think the biggest thing that being on black belt cycle has taught me is to schedule and budget my time. What is most important in the moment vs what can wait, and that getting ahead really really helps. "Time is the most valuable coin in your life. You and you alone will determine how that coin will be spent." - Carl Sandburg. Today was very productive, I got to count some stuff for cycle from my PE conditioning today which was nice. Then, I came home and ran 3 miles and got all my requirements done today. Have a great rest of the week everyone! ~ Peyton

Today was a very cool day. I went to school, and got my work done. In math, we did review, and same for reading. For lunch, I had a lunchable and a yogurt. For recess, we finally went back outside, but we could not play soccer. The reason why is because there were wasps outside near the field. Instead of doing nothing, we played a game called banana split. It is a game where you need at least 3 people, 2 people on 2 different swings, and 1 pusher. The people on the swings grab each other's legs, and the pusher pushes the people legs. We played a version of the game where we tried the push the people on the swings so hard, they would get flung in the air. Luckly, no one was flung in the air, but we still fell off the swings a couple of times. In...

Chill

Chill Day Today. School was basically easy, as I didn't have much work. I played volleyball in PE and then worked on another worksheet in Spanish. I feel like my core classes are easier than my Spanish class, and I think that's only because I barely know anything in Spanish. Today, we had family night at the high school, so I attended that with my family, and we learned a lot of helpful information. Tomorrow, I have baseball tryouts for the school from 4 - 6 PM, which I am excited and nervous about. I hope to do well tomorrow, and in preparation for that, I will have a mini baseball workout tonight, including my physical requirements for the day

New belts everywhere in class😁 Very busy day in classes, a good one though.  Hop steps, hook kicks, 360s, 180s, checking their stances, lots of the first four steps of new poomsaes .I like it when someone asks questions and there were a lot today.  And teaching something always helps me know it better so tons of good work today. And a COLD run on the Greenway. I thought it had warmed up a little. I was wrong🥶😂

In PE, we had our first volleyball games, which we tied, so that was alright, and then in Spanish, we did a time worksheet. After I came back from school, I stuck to my normal routine of finishing my physical requirements for the day and then completing all my homework. I also ate some food to reenergize myself and then got ready for Taekwondo. I helped out with a class, then got a mentor and mentee session. I then came back home and finished most of my homework.

For taekwondo class tonight we were focusing on self defenses and I had my higher belts work on some of their jumping kicks. I've learned that they need more work on those so I'm dedicating a focus to have those kicks improved.

Today was a good day. I went to school, did my work, and finished the episode of 4 boys, 1 car today. In math, we took a test. In reading, we just talked about the book that we finished, The Phantom Tollbooth. For lunch, I had mac and cheese. Again, we did not go outside for recess. In AIG, we did our stock market script. In intervention, I did some more work. For science, we talked about matter again. In encore, we did absolutely nothing expect play games and talk to my friend. Our original teacher was not here, so we split into different encores. After school, I got chicken nuggets from chick fill a. After, I went home to get all my school stuff down, and taekwondo stuff ready to go. I got to taekwondo, and I had to double up on my requirements because I was out of town....

Ok way better day than yesterday. I didn’t go to school tho but that gave me time to catch up on the stuff I missed the day prior. I even went on a 3 mile run which felt pretty good. I should hopefully be going back to class tomorrow. My shoulder feels way better compared to yesterday too, so I’m recovering quickly. Anyway that’s pretty much it.

Today I had a pretty big chemistry test today, it was very difficult. I hope a pleasant score comes back when my teacher releases the grades. When I got home, I started doing my requirements. I got those knocked out relatively early in the evening. I played chess for a while a bit later in the evening. That wraps up my day - Lucas

Journal #42 - 2/24/2026 Lalitha

Today was pretty normal. School went by really quickly, and I finished my work and caught up on my missing assignments. Since there was belt testing today, there were no TKD classes, so I just practiced my forms and self‑defenses at home. I finished my requirements, studied, worked on another essay, helped make dinner, and listened to Atomic Habits for my assignment. That’s about it; just a simple, steady day. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

I haven't been journaling a lot lately because I've been super busy! Last weekend I had a sleepover with my best friend for her birthday and it was so much fun! However, we stayed up really late so I'm still a little tired from that. Today was great. I got to school early to make some more progress on my mural. Later, I got to get picked up early to go to the orthodontist. I got my braces off today!! I am so happy to finally have them gone and I'm very pleased with how my teeth look now. Afterwards, I had a lot of homework to catch up on after missing some classes and now I'm watching TV and relaxing. It has really gotten to the point where I'm just over cycle.. but I have to keep going and I know the end is in sight! Keep it up everyone...

Arvaan's Diary - Day 48 Of Black Belt Journey

Day 48: Today was an awesome day! I ate pizza and cake from yesterday for lunch at school! I got another slice when I came back home. My mom abridged the pizza so I would not get a tummy ache. I did forms and self defense camo green with my mentee to refresh his memory! I also took part by helping in class! Once I came home I took 2 pictures with my decorations. I did some homework and went to bed! Have a good day, everyone!

Decent day today! At school, our guidance counselor talked to us about high school and other important stuff. I also did some reviews in other subjects and learned some new things, too. In Spanish, I did a worksheet about how to write the time, and in PE, I practiced playing volleyball for our upcoming unit. When I came back home, I ate some food, did my physical requirements for the day, and then got ready for D-Bat. Baseball tryouts for the school are coming up this week, so I want to be ready so I can make the team. My lower back was kind of stiff and hurt, so I came back home pretty early and then took a shower. I then ate dinner and sat down with my brother to plan my whole high school course career. I wanted to be ahead and ready for whatever comes up. I am...

Decent day today. It’s a Monday which is never fun, and it was extra chilly. I did manage to learn hapkido 4 and 5 though today and also attended class. I finished most of my essays which is good,  and also did my requirements for today. A Monday that feels like a Monday.

Today was ok for Monday. I was quite busy at school today, luckily this made the day go by faster. After school, I went to King Tiger for leadership credits, lots of new belts from color belt testing last week. When I got home, I did my requirements as quickly as I could because I had a lot of schoolwork to do. I studied for a long time in chemistry, I have a big chemistry test tomorrow. I had some other small assignments for other classes that had to be done as well. Today went by very fast for me.

Hated walking to school today because of the wind. So cold and for no reason! Anyways, I had 3 back to back tests in school so I was pretty much exhausted by the time I got home. I pushed on and got my requirements done. After that I went to black belt class and helped out the students. Anyways, I might just end the day by watching some South Park or something

Busy day. Workout at the gym this morning, it was so cold leaving the house that I was tempted just to turn back around. We reworked our afterschool schedule for classes, that took quite a bit of time but I think we got everyone scheduled correctly. This week will let us know if we need to make any changes. Worked on some hapkido with several people tonight. Lots of good work! Have a happy Tuesday!

Journal #41 - 2/23/2026 Lalitha

Today I was basically on autopilot. School was normal and went by pretty fast, and I finished my work without much trouble. I did my requirements and then headed to taekwondo. My first class was PMAA, and we worked on single stick today. After that I helped with the Senior Tigers class; specifically the red belts and a blue belt on their forms. Then I worked with Emelia for her mentee session and helped her get ready for her belt test tomorrow. After that I had my mentor session with Master Weeks, and we went over a few self‑defenses. When I got home, I helped make dinner, listened to Atomic Habits for my essay, finished my homework, and called it a day. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

A very, very cool day for me

Today was a very cool and exciting day. I got to school, got work done, and me and my friend is almost done with episode 2 of our series, 4 boys, 1 car. Based off what our working speeds are, we will have it done by tomorrow. The only thing left to do is finish about 25 slides of editing, including sounds and animation speed. In math, we did review for a test tomorrow. Same for reading, expect the test is on Friday. For lunch, I had a lunchable. We did not go outside for recess today because they said word from word: "If we take you outside when it is cold, especially below freezing, we will get fired", and yet the 3rd graders are outside in 20 something degrees, and if we went outside, it would be 30 degrees. After recess, I went to AIG. After, we went into science....

Today was a good day in school today. We watched 101 Dalmatians until recess. Even though it was cold outside, I still had fun with my friends. When got home I read until it was about time to go to Taekwondo class. I was able to help out in class today as well as work with my mentee. After class I went to my grandparents house to eat dinner and then I went home.
