Candidate Journals

Things I've learned on my journay to becoming a 4th Dan.... 1. Not all mentee's will be reliable.                           For example, my mentee disapeered for over a month. I picked up 2 more mentees, then realized you can only 'chart' one mentee session per day. However, there have been days, that I have menteed 2 brothers and just last night, their grandma asked me to mentor her. (no, I didn't track all 3, I will only track 1, however, I mentored 3 last evening)    2.  No matter how much you practice, you are going to forget something.                         This is a great example of my last few mentoring sessions with my amazing mentor, Master Dege. She has taken SO much time out of her personal life to help...

Im up way to late, I have to get to sleep. Today was a normal day, seminary at 6AM, school at 8AM, track practice at 4PM, Taekowndo at 6PM. Home, physical fitness, at track I got in almost 4 miles today. Tomorrow is a track meet, and I'm entered to run the 200m and 400m, so tomorrow will be a long day, we get out of school early at 1:15 and take a team bus, the meet is in Waxhaw about an hour drive, the meets end around 8, so the team will stop to get something to eat probably on the way back, and the bus gets back to the school around 10PM, that is a typical meet. Sometimes the meets are farther away, and we just get back much later. 

I went to piano and did my homework afterschool today. The cycle is almost over, just a few more days! The days have started to mush together but it’s alright.

Literally, I have nothing to write about today. What, my work experience? I taught kids taekwondo, and everyone was super well behaved, there is absolutely nothing eventful I can write about in today's journal. The luxury yet also the curse of my spring break is the fact I sleep all day, work, get home and fall asleep. That's it, the title explains all that happened for me today. So there ya go, a nice short journal, and now I am back to fall asleep :D

Today I went to School and was assigned a project on the sino-japanese war in social studies. we went outside in gym today. Then I went to TKD and assisted, took class, and worked on self defense.

Good night, everyone! Today was a good day for the most part. School went well, and so did work. I was so exhausted when I came back home and slept on the car ride to work. I got the last part of double stick form 2 down, and now it's just practicing everything from here. Other than that, I had a pretty nice rest of my day. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

I believe thia ia my last journal I need so I'm overjoyed. I'm a little scared of testing this friday because I have benchmarks all this week and I'll be so tired on Friday but it's whatever. Speaking of tired I'm very tired right now and I have my reading benchmark tomorrow so I'll be sleeping well tonight.

I got a new book today. it's about life lived diffrentley in a mind that dosen't comprehend the same way as most people. It's very funny probably because it's from a commedian. it's interesting to hear his perspective on the world around him & how her reacts to it. I like it.

today in Fortnite I cooked a kid in red vs blue and beat him 63-14. :D I had baseball and I was really happy. bed time bye 

It was today in the year 1980 when I turned blue. Dad was at work and mom was home with me. I was 6 months old. Mom rushed me to strong Memorial in rochester, NY and was told I was going in for open-heart surgery. (Dad made it to the hospistal before they took me back, so I have been told) At that time, open heart surgery was rare, not to mention on a 6 month old. Both my cardiologists told my parents I had about a 5% chance of surving the surgery and growing up.  (Back track to September of 1979, I was born with CHD - congential heart disease, my heart is basically backwards in my chest. My aorta and pulminary vein are reversed and I only have 3 chambers verses a 'normal heart' with 4 thanks to the mustard procedure i had at 6 hours old) Fast forward...

Just got done finished researching and writing my draft essay on the fall of the textile industry in Charlotte and the rise of banking in 1960-1965. Going to head to bed and hoping to receive some good peer review tomorrow morning class.

I spent all night last night on the bus from Saint Paul to Chicago.  Today I walked around the city with my friends.  We weren't sure what to go to, so I ended up calling up my dad, as he knows the city and I don't.  Last time I have been to Chicago I was 1 year old.  We visited a park in the suburbs and a Chinatown mini-market.  I got my sisters birthday presents for their birthday coming up.

After a short 3 hour call the previous night with my....best friend.... I got a PHENOMENAL amount of sleep, and the break could not be off to a better start!   I (clap) LOVE (clap) MY (clap) SLEEP (clap) GIRL (clap)!   See, getting to fall asleep is the most difficult part for me, usually taking me an hour just to fall asleep, but once I am asleep, GIRL, I AM KNOCKED OUT! Truly, sleep is what I am most excited to do when I get home from work. Especially when I go from an eight-hour day at school STRIGHT to work, like, sleep over homework every single day, I am being so for real girl. My fellow Americans, stand with me to ensure people get the amount of sleep they deserve, NOW :D   Anyways, I am downing an iced coffee and watching Hairspray, cause I be living the life...

Spent most of my day yesterday attempting to figure out the issue with my car. I'm fairly certain that I'm gonna need a new motor. Either get a new used car and hope it doesn't do a similar move or repair this car and hope that nothing else major occurs (decisions decisions). Still honestly just fortunate to be in good health. I spent time working on my blocks stances and working on my balance. I've been watching Are You Being Served? and playing my Gamecube. I will probably attempt to source some motors and or junk my car ASAP so I can get things back on the right track. 

It was a regular school day today and I got lunch with my friends afterschool. After that I went and did my requirements and showered. I didn’t have much homework so it was a rest night.

Today was fun. I had some strawberry bread with glaze for Lake Norman today and did some more requirements. I fell forward onto my knee pretty badly and now it has a big bruise so thats what I needed right before cycle. I'm so tired now and I want sleep.

Good night, everyone! Yesterday was a good day. I went to a birthday party and got a lot of work done, which made me very happy. Today, I went to school, and I finished a lot on my first day back from spring break. I am pretty nervous about testing this Friday, but I am confident I will do well on it. I have the last bit of double-stick form two to review, but otherwise, I think I will be fine. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Today I went to school and it was very boring. When I got home, I assisted And took class rightaway, Leaving For TKD almost immediately. Now I will finish homework and sleep.

today was a great monday! today I did my tkd & worked on my idea for my comp sci class. my idea is to make a torreting software what uses libtorrent for the torrents & gtk for the ui. this project will be written in c++ & will take some time but I think it's be worthwhile

Hello peoples....The site says I haven't finished my journals yet but really I have done 52 (well now this is 53) and have had them done sine beginning of March.  Finish up this week strong.  If you can get your week done early so you can practice things you really want to practice then do that!!!!  Also get lots of rest before the overnight so you don't fall asleep!!  I am brining my oreo/marshmallow bars like I did last time! They are really yummy, they are just crushed oreos mixed with melted marshmallows and a little butter.    #Bread

Today was pretty normal i just did school and cykle stuff.   

Had a nice rainy morning today and it made me feel so lazy. Lucky the rainy weather went away and I got to work on my research paper for HIST. Had some trouble searching for primary sources dated back to 1900s, but I will continue to work on this tomorrow.

So, I am going to be participating in the tournament in Anaheim over the summer, and I will be competing in the basic Poomsae's. However, I am doing both the standard and ELITE poomsae competition, as I am used to and completely able to do both. However, I am the old age of sixteen, and because My Poomsae's are decided by my age and not by my actual belt ranking, I was hit with such an unfortunate reality.   THE POOMSAE DILEMA!   So I have known Taebeck for quite some time, as I needed to know the form for a previous competition, again, because of my age. However, for the Anaheim tournament, and due to my age, there is a possibility that I could be drawn Pyung Won (I know I butchered the name) for my poomsae. This is, of course, terrifying as I have heard that the form, while...

It was a simple day for me, nothing out of the ordinary. I went to church and did whatever requirements I needed to. I spent the rest of my day enjoying  the last of my weekend before school tomorrow.

today my friend had a birthday party at great wolf lodge and it was really great. we had a great time. bye :D 

Today I worked on my taekwondo a lot because it was the last weekend before testing. I also played a lot basketball but it was hard to play because it was kind of windy. I also biked a lot today. 

Today was good, but I was really tired! We had a sleepover with our friend last night and we stayed up really late. In the morning we just play and relaxed. Then we walked around the Davidson College campus, which was cool. We also watched some of the Davidson girls lacrosse game, and they won. For the rest of the day we just played outside and relaxed. We had a good dinner and some dessert. Now we are watching American idol. Also, this is my last journal! ♥

I just wrote my journal 2 times before this and forgot to post it so I'm not bothering anymore. All it said was the amount of things I still have to do this week and the hour of poomsaes I did today which made me realize how many there were.

First of all;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\. I love the backwards slash. Today was chill; I stayed home from church to finish my requirements. Then, I went to sparring. Then I went to Maxlife.

today i preeetty muc just did church stuff al day.                

Good night, everyone! I'm going to keep it very brief today. I went to a birthday party, and I practiced my poomsaes and self-defenses all day. Overall, it was a great day. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Last journal of the cycle and first of I'm sitting here doing this and my keyboard keeps tpying the letter l by itself and its doing it every 5 seconds so I have to keep deleting so ima make this journal a bit short. I just went to class and got home at 12:00 and I then did 100 pull ups then did 4.5 miles run then biked 10 miles and it lasted the whole day after 12;00 so now I go sleep. GOOD NIGHT

MMMMMMM.....we are down to the last week before testing. I have completed 1 part of my black belt exam; part two is Friday evening, beginning at 9pm. I am hoping we all do well and are not testing into the 'wee' hours of Saturday morning.  I have come a long way since I began this journey last July. I am looking forward to the exam. I feel much more confident in my self-defenses and poomsaes, along with all the weapon

Today was the start of Spring Break.  Everything was very slow.  Most people have left, and unfortunately the gym is closed, so I'm doing a lot of requirements either in my dorm or outside.  That was fine though, since today was a pretty good day outside.  The meal hours at the buffet are weird now.  I spent a lot of the day catching up with friends and trying to solve things that I wouldn't be able to think about with school on.

So sorry for those who can't have nuts. Its a luxury only us people who aren't allergic can have. Anyways. I was productive today with workout and prectice. I got my last mentor session today. My mom told me were going to work on at least an hour worth of self defence and poomsaes starting monday so that's fun... otherwise I still have some things to memorize then I'll be all set.

I have had an EXHAUSTING day for the absolute best reasons possible! A phenomenal Saturday if I do say so myself!   ITS A BIRD, ITS A PLANE, NO, ITS PICKLE BALL!   So my mom got the family to play pickle ball at a park court for over three hours today, and OH MY GOD IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! The family had a blast, and we want to play as often as we possibly can. It was truly a blast, yet I was drained afterwards. I was so exhausted and tired, but it was so worth it! My parents took my and my siblings to Cracker Barrel afterwards, plus we got Italian ice. Truly, a fantastic Saturday.   Plus I'm on spring break, so YIPPERR

I went to black belt class in the morning as usual then headed to the chiropractor in the afternoon. Today I did mostly poomsae and self defense. Later in the day I went to watch a movie with my siblings.

Today I woke up early and went to black belt class and practiced all the color belt poom saes, koryo, bo cho dan 1 step and bo co dan specials. Then after black belt class I played a lot of basketball and rested because it was a Saturday. 

Today I woke up early to go to black belt class. I got to practice poomsaes which was nice and after that I went home to go back to sleep. I then did some house work and my physical requirements for today by running a mile which took 5:23. I went to a friends house later in the day by bike, and I got home a little while ago. I'm looking forward to church tomorrow morning and one whole day of rest. 

So I woke up at a normal Saturday time and didn’t bother doing anything to get ready except get my uniform in my bag then I went to class and then after I got a haircut then went to my aunts house to meet up with family for like 5 hours now I am tired and want to sleep!

Good night, everyone! Today was a nice day. I went to black belt class in the morning, and we got a lot done, which was great. Afterward I worked on double stick Form 2, which I really need to get down by Thursday. After class, I went home and had lunch with my family. We went to the temple today, which was great because I felt like I really needed it. Otherwise, the rest of this week is full of review. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

I am NOT apologising for yesterday's journal. That was awesome. Today I went to my dad's friend's friend's house. I shucked oysters but did not eat them. It was fun. Now I will game and then sleep.

today me and my friends raised money for bags of hope and we made 126 $ for bags of hope. I had ramen for dinner and I played Fortnite after. bed time bye :D :D :D :D :D 

Welp, all things considered I still had a great day. I woke up heading towards Charlotte for the day normal drive abnormal but ordinary carpool karaoke ensues. I make it right up to my exit to 5 mins from the Dojang and wouldn't you know it's the used car sputter, stall, all of the lights on the dashboard emote and then the wheel locks up (yippee). Thankfully I am a okay and that's all that matters I was able to get myself to shoulder of the exit safely and start looking for a tow home. Everything else was actually very smooth the tow ride home was more pleasant than expected and the tow was relatively inexpensive tbh on the lemon. Hope that class went well I certainly missed everyone and all the fun. Once I got home I Uber'd to the store so I could make dinner and then walked back...

Finished my midterms early today and got to chill out. My friend pied his brothers face before the exam and they were handing out free energy drinks this afternoon on campus.

I am, still, slowly getting better as the days go by, that my sickness how simply now transformed to strange coughing and painful swallowing. But I don't care about that right now, but simply, I care about.....   SPRING BREAK PEOPLE!   A week long break from the stresses of school and trying to stay awake throughout the day?! Like, yeah, Imma take that. But I am looking forward to this very chill break. This break could not come at a better time, as black belt testing is next week, and I am so eager to get it over with. I am ready to be a 2nd Dan and to finally be on par with my co-workers. I want to prove that I am just as good as all of the other instructors and masters at my school, as I am the lowest rank and I am just ready to no...

I am finally done with the first half of the semester!  And I am ready for spring break.  I got the $3.14 pizza, but this year, it was at Tono's, not at the Blaze near UNCC that I got it at in years past.  Speaking of food, I got all-you-can-eat fish and chips with my aunts and my friend, which was fun.  Anyway, I hope this spring break is restful and the next half of the semester goes better than the first.

It was a nice Friday at school, not too much work. I took a nap when I got home then did the usual. I can’t believe the test is literally next week but I hope everyone is ready. 

Today was pretty chill. I'm really tired  though and I want sleep. My mom tried explaning to me about how I March 10th is Mario dayduring my workout but I still don't get it. Good night.

Had a great Thursday of classes got to teach and help out with class instruction. I then got enjoy my Muay Thai class. It's a different experience so as always I feel like a complete novice but that part of the fun. I always work up an appetite after doing all of my classes for the evening so after driving straight home and taking a frigidly cold shower I was desperate for something extremely delicious. I made myself an exquisite mushroom risotto and promptly passed out for the evening. I started my Friday morning off with some MMA training, yoga , then meditation. It's my lazy day so back to bed until I wake up naturally. Woke up in the late afternoon and decided I would get my second coffee and try to work on somethings I know I need to practice for repetition after going over it in class previously...

Today I went to school and had a technology lessen where I got to see A. I dogs. It was really cool, be cause they were robots and they were moving. Then after school, I went to black belt class and practiced for testing ng.

So it’s a Friday it’s almost summer it’s already spring and I know nothing today can’t go wrong so I started off the day with looking at some Ironman races which are just triathlons and I want to do one of those. After the part were I did not much in school I went to class really quick and got a mentor session and then cycled 8 miles on a stationary bike in 120° I then ate dinner and now I’m sleeping!

Today I went to stars&strikes and also BBC weekday. Today was a boring day for me and I am not sure if I can test well.  

today I went to tae kwon do and went to a national park I can't wait to sell stuff with carter tomorrow. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Good night, everyone! Today was a good day. My leg has a huge bruise from sparring yesterday, and it hurts very bad, so I'm hoping it gets better soon. I also uploaded my last essay yesterday night, so I have everything on Dropbox. I am super excited and nervous for testing next week. Today, I was working on my creative and got the last part of my form down. Now, it's just practice and tweaking it from here. I went to black belt class, and we reviewed all of our material for testing next week. I need to work on my breaking kick a bit more, but otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

today I made cookies and we are going to sell them tomorrow. bed time see ya :D

This morning I wake up go eat play video games then go outside play basketball then at 2:00 I go to sparring that wasn't supposed to happen then I come home eat then sleep.

Took my Calc test today and I think I did pretty well. I know for sure that I got 2 questions wrong after the test, but it should be okay

I took two tests today, hopefully I did well on them. Afterschool I went to the dojang to help with class. I did requirements and spent the rest of my day relaxing.

Today was holi. holi is a festival many hindus celebrate where we throw collered powder & water on each other. My taekwando was normal today. I like how the communities of people can work to make something together that stands trials & tribulations for the goal of their shared passions. I hope to be a part of one of those someday

So I am getting my mom and brother to watch Epic: The Musical, and it is such a good musical!   SAGAS!   There are different sagas in the musical that separate each big event that occurs within the musical. In Act 1, there are five sagas to get through: The Troy Saga, The Cyclops Saga, The Ocean Saga, The Circe Saga, and The Underworld Saga. Out of all of these first five sagas, my favorite saga is the Ocean Saga, due to it having some of my favorite songs, such as 'Keep your Friends Close' and 'Luck Runs Out' and, of course, my third favorite song in the whole musical, 'Ruthlessness'. Poseidon's songs are always so good, and it is a huge reason I believe everyone should listen to Epic, now, RIGHT NOW! :C

Today I went to school as usual, and  played volleyball. I twisted my wrist by hitting the ball , but I was fine. After school, I went to taekwondo class and sparing class and ended my day.

today my dad came hone. from a work triip. we also went to some plca I dont rmeber the name of. thats it.

Good night, everyone! Today was a nice day. I got some work on my creative done, and now I just have to tweak it more. I am very tired, so I will keep it simple today. I got my tree today, and it is very small, but it's so adorable. I went to work later on in the day, and it went really well. I had a lot of fun at sparring today, but gained many bruises. It's almost one more week until testing night!! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Today was good, I am happy it’s almost Friday. At school I play with my friends a lot, and tried to go to the book fair, that didn’t work, but I am going to try again tomorrow. I also got a lot done today! After school I played for a little bit, and had a snack. Then we went to sparring, which was alright, and I had a mentor meeting, which was good. Now I am getting ready for bed.♥

I wasn’t very excited for today since I have Spanish and I have to present my presentation with my group today since we failed it on Tuesday. Once I got to Spanish my team decided to change theirs minds and they want to do it on Tuesday of next week. So at least I didn’t have to present today. The rest of my classes were a bit boring and we just did random assignments so I rode the bus home and got home really late at 5 pm so I rushed to class and got there and took a class before sparring then had sparring and it wasn’t terrible except for the fact that I was coughing every single second of sparring so after that I got home and showered now I’m sitting here journaling while eating dinner. 

So today I wake up, went to taekwondo then eat breakfast. After that, we went to a birthday party at my friend's house. We got sprayed with paint, then played lacrosse and that's my day.

So I took a FIVE HOUR TEST TODAY and I was extremely exhausted by the end of the ACT test (hoping for a 30 or above).   BUT BIRKDALE!   After the test, me and my friends went to birkdale and got some Cava. I love Cava and it is a superior Chili's (fight me if you disagree). I also got this deliciously sweet lemonade that put me to sleep on the chair I was sitting on. I woke up around two, went to Barnes & Nobles and bought thid ADORABLE 'Max' Funko Pop from the book 'Where The Wild Things Are'. A childhood memory I will never forget.   And I now go to sleep :D

Today was mostly uneventful, other than a midterm.  I'd say I did alright on it, especially since it was for an 8:30 class.  I'm in the middle of doing some homework and a revision for a previous test.  2 more school days until spring break!

School was the same deal as always and I went to the dojang after. Lots of poomsae and review. One more week until testing, I hope everyone’s feeling good about their stuff.

I am writing this late because I had homework. I have been called brutal with my self defense which is amazing as a compliment. The thing with game engine is that you can write any game we like with the tools given like the process function, the thinking system, & the do function.

Spent my morning studying for my written test, watching Kitchen Nightmares and consuming an outlandish amount of coffee. I went over to my sisters early to study there and to play with the cats while they were at work. I had to give Finn a salmon pate so he would be shut up he was meowing so loud it disrupting Brian's meeting. I had to be far and give Pancake one but he won't eat it from the plastic tray it comes in because you know class so I put it into his feeding dish. I get back in the living room from washing my hand only to find Finn caught red paw'd greedily consuming Pancake's treat. I promised Pancake I would bring him a special treat later; Finn is a jerk but we love him for it. Finally made it to the Dojang set myself up to be a little...

I'm on spring break this week but dont have anything planned. I'm pretty much just hanging out at home and relaxing. I went to the park with my sister today cause it was so nice outside. Other than that I'm just getting my stuff done and playing on my phone. Suprising how I can be so sleepy. So good night!

Today I went 2 chikfila's 4 breakfast and had a sunjoy. then I finished stuff, went to my friends house, and finally asiisted, sparing, and BBC.

Good night, everyone! Today was a great day. I got a lot of work today, which makes me really happy. My creative is coming along really well, and I will have it finalized by the end of this week. After that, it's just practice. I went to Costco with my parents today, and it felt so nice outside, which made it even better. My friend from school randomly came over to work on our project today, but it's nice because we finished off the final details. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

So I already knew it can’t be that bad of a day since it’s halfway through the week and I have cycling class todayyy!!! So I am so excited to go to cycling and after that class my hair was messed up cuz of the helmets so I went in the bathroom to fix it then the rest of my day was pretty boring so I just waited to go to a 120° sauna after school and ride a bike for 7 miles then went to class and then came home and just did my math homework, G00D night

today I had boy scouts and it was a lot of fun. I did a mentee session and it was really good. for school we went to Top Golf for a field trip and I got a really far drive about 250 yards. I was planning on which merit badges I want to do when me and my friend go camping for a week by ourselves. all in all it was a really chill day and I am very excited for what is going to happen tomorrow. for bags of hope I have planned out what I am going to do for my part. My brother and I are going to sell lemonade, strawberry lemonade, golf balls, and cookies. all of the proceeds will go to bags of hope. hopefully we will get a lot of traffic and sell out. we are doing it on a Saturday and will be a...

Today was good, I liked the weather. At school I played on the bars with my friends, which was fun. After school we also play on the playground for a little bit. When we got home I did so poomsaes and then played on my iPad for a little bit. Then we went to TKD and I had a mentor meeting and did hurricane back kicks, which was helpful. Now we are back and I am having some dessert and then I am going to get ready for bed. ♥

Today we had Friday off we really didn't do anything West around until 5:00 where I went to taekwondo then came home ate food played video games went to bed.

This past weekend, I went out skiing with my aunts and my cousin for the last time this season, since it's already warming up here.  I stayed at my aunt's house for that entire weekend.  With everything I have been doing in the past few weeks, I needed a bit of space from everything, so it was good that I stayed there.  I finally got 6 hours of sleep in one night, which has got to be a record high for this semester.  Yesterday, I got an email from residential life saying that I was one of 6 people that got in the Chinese House!  I replied and said yes, and now I know where I'm going to be living next year!  I'm excited, and I already know next semester is going to start way better off for me than this one.  Anyway, I have to go study for an exam...

Today I learned I have a research paper due next week along with a Calc test this Thursday and a midterm on this friday. Gonna prep as much as I can for these test and hopefully catch a break on Sunday.

So I have been, and still am, sick for the past, like, two weeks now. It has been extremely miserable and I have disliked every second of it. However, I have some good news in terms of the healing component of my sickness....   MY CHEST IS BACK BABY!   So my chest voice singing, no head voice or mix has come back yet, however, I can sing comfortably in a very basic tenor register when it comes to choir level tenor ranges. I am extremely happy I can sing somewhat normally again, even if I do have to cough afterwards.

I didn’t have a midterm today so I could relax a little bit, but I do have a chemistry midterm tomorrow. It’s going to be a long week. My piano class got canceled today so I had more time to unwind after doing requirements.

Today was interesting because my school did the act & I did nothing all day. The act is required in the state of north carolina. The test is for collage admissions to know where you stand acedemicly. Due to my age I will have to take the test in 2 years, but I look forward to it.

Today was really boring and honestly I was just trying to find an excuse to get out of the house. I was really tired as well. Good night.  

Today I went to school as usual and had a basketball game. After I came home , I did my cycle and went to class. I couldn’t stay in class for long, because people were doing their make up testing .

Good night, everyone! Today was a nice day. I got the music to my creative down, and now I just have to tweak my form to match the music. I didn't really do much today other than the normal requirements. I went to TKD later in the day, and work went well. I am pretty tired, so I am going to go get some rest now. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

tonight I had another baseball practice and I was really good. then I had ice cream and I am going to bed so I can get some good ZZZ's. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D 

So I was really nervous of going to school today and sadly I did though so once it came to spanish class my group of 6 was the 2nd group to present and it felt good, I mean I felt like we did fine, but after everyone finished our teacher told us we failed and that we got a 50 somehow. So I didn't feel good for the rest of the day and kinda just waited till I got home and I finished my math homework and then went to class and waited for my mentee to show up to make up testing and I got him reviewed a bit and then he got his last strip before he started testing. I hope it went good for him and I couldn't stay because I needed to go home and do some things but yeah. Have A good nights!

Today was good, it was mostly a normal day. At school we had spring pictures, so of the poses they made us do were kinda weird. After school I did some work and then played on my iPad for a little bit. I had a snack and then we left for TKD.       When we got home we had some dinner, and I played outside for a little bit. Now I am getting ready for bed. ♥  

Today was a seminary day, but no school day. I went to seminary as always, up at 5:30 sitting in seminary at 6am. I came home afterwards and went back to bed. I spend a good part of the day studying to re-take my written test. I will see if I can re-take it tomorrow. I went to track practice at 4, and got in 3.5 miles in during practice. I still have to do my physical fitness exercises at home. Tomorrow is a regular school day! 

I cannot believe the black belt exam is next Friday!!!  Went to KT tonight and assisted in a class, then had a mentee session.  Yay! Need to do my hang, totally forgot, not to mention I have things that I need to have ready for my  2nd grade team of teachers, which I haven't started yet....

#26 2/18/2025 There is testing today for the color belts, so no class. I have to say I need the break, this cycle has been tough already. I got my 3 pullups today! They are calling for snow tomorrow. I love snow. I would be fine with lots. But tomorrow is Max’s last day teaching sparring, so I actually don’t want snow this time. No quote today. #27 2/19/2025 No class today. Again, happy to have a break, my ankle thanks the weather. But sad Max didn’t get his last class. His energy is always so fun. I will miss him. I made my black belt video and my mom posted it for class. Since I got 3 pullups, I want to do 4 for my next video. I have run dry on quotes. #28 2/20/2025 Just another day without class. Working on essays, getting all my forms and exercise completed....

Today I am going to my first base ball practice of the season!!! I cant wait to go and hopefully hit a grand slam anywho hafe to go now for........... you guessed it baseballl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Today is spring break. I am going to get some extra things done. Later I will try to meet up with my freind Blake and go for a walk.

I worked most of this weekend and Monday studying re-take the written Black Belt test. I found all the answers and wrote them down then recorded myself saying all the q and a's. I've been studying the sheet while listen to the recording and found that a very helpful method. Im looking forward to going into the Dojang today teaching helping and learning with the other students. I'm also looking forward to seeing my twin sister for the first time in awhile since we've both been busy as of late. Typically when I'm working in Charlotte through the weekdays I stay over at her place. However since I have to study and practice all the time and she is pregnant its best if I'm not always cramping her and her husbands style. It going to be awesome to see her Brian, Pancake(Brian's cat) and Finn(Sharis' cat). Plus my Gran Gran made...
