Because my mom has to take her computer to work she bought a new laptop for the house so I could use it to do schoolwork and to do my journals and what not. Shes been really busy because she started school so she is going to show me how to log my workouts so it isn't showing as behind. I read my sister a few books to get her to sleep to help my parents out tonight because they are helping my Mimi move out of the neighborhood we live in. Today I got to help out in class by assisting any of the kids who needed the push for their workouts and their stances. I also took a break...

Today I did not have school because there were plumbing issues. I also don't have school on Friday due to the same issue. We won’t go back until Tuesday because we are off for MLK Jr Day. I hope next week we have a refresh of math, science, and CKLA so I can get better grades. Today I used the free day to get my chores caught up and worked on my physical requirements early.

This week at school I have a test in math, science, and reading. I think math is kind of going to be easy, reading not so much, and maybe science will be a little easy too. We also are going to have a substitute tomorrow because my teacher told us she would be out. One thing I think is the hardest about this cycle so far is the exercising everyday. Especially the pushups and pullups because it takes so much upper body strength.

First Essay

Yesterday it was New Year's Eve and I stayed up late until the ball dropped. And for Christmas I got a electric scooter that goes really fast, and a meta quest 3S/VR Headset. I just finished my first essay.  To be honest this essay was very hard for me to write and it took me around 2 days to finish. It was kind of fun to do but it was kind of hard at the same time.
