Candidate Journals

Today was amazing so last night my parents and me play this game where you basically 1 person is the ghost and the other people are paranormal investigators and the ghost gives you visions and you have to get them right for you and the ghost to win. Today I woke up and went to the track to run 2 miles and soon I got home after we got creamer for my dads and my coffee, but after we got home I started a book nok which is pretty fun and Im pretty close to finishing it but yeah. Im about to leave to go to my moms house so bye yall.

I am catching up on the journal and updating my requirements. I have six more journals to go.  Luckily I have finished almost all my physical requirements except like two miles of running. I plan on knocking that out this week so I can be prepared for our pre test on Saturday. This week I need to go to Harrisburg twice for black belt class and sparring class. I really enjoyed there classes last week. Today is I am going to warm up the grill and watch some football, as I am off work tonight. 

Today I will be going to church. I hope that even if I’m exhausted I can do all my exercises. 

Today i woke up to go to trail life to help with woodsplitting. Then i went to taekwondo. After that i went home and chilled then i went to hang out with declan and we got wings. Then i went to his game and they won 20-19. After went home ate dinner and made a dessert with my mom. Goodnight.

nothing much, i went to tkd and came back home and my cousin came over. we had a pretty good time and tought him about the cycle which was cool. 

September 20 ‐ Entry # 37 This morning I went to a festival with my friend. I found a colored arrowhead. We got Boba, which was my first time trying it. It was pretty good. On the way home, we decided I could have a sleep over at my friend's house. When we got there, my friends mom did a wire wrap with the arrowhead and added it as a charm to my necklace. It's pretty cool, I really like it. We played minecraft. After a while, I decided to come back home instead of staying the night at my friends. When I got back to my house, I did some requirements then started getting ready for bed. 

Another exhausting day on cycle 😫😫 aaanyway we did our digital detox and it was actually the whole family that did it but anyway we went to help out with a class and then we did our Saturday chores and there were actually a lot of them this time around but anyway I think that's about it bye

Today we helped at class and I worked with the yellow belts. Then we went to target and then came back to have a mentor session with Master Marcus. We worked on stick form and takeaways. Then we came home and did Saturday chores and now I'm working on prepping my brush drawing classes.

today I went to sparring and ran my mile and did my homework.

Today was a relaxing day. School has been annoying with a lot of work and homework this week. My bus also comes late to pick us up from school in the afternoon so my ride home takes longer and I have less time to do my requirements and relax. I am happy to be at week 11 and see the exercise times coming down. It has been hard keeping up with them and school. I started studying more for the written test and my mom quizzed me on the ones I didn't know from earlier. I got more right.  I just finished practicing poomsaes and self defense  for almost an hour and I'm tired. I'm about to relax and talk with my friends. Bye!!!!

Today was a normal day. I had a good run and my sister came to visit. We are going to watch the new conjuring movie in the theater!

Today I had black belt class and I really need to work on my hurricane backs. I had piano class after and I hate how I can play fine when I’m practicing but mess up so much in my lessons. Afterwards I went grocery shopping with my mom and came back had lunch and was just chilling. In the evening I finished the rest of my requirements and my sister arrived from college. Me my mom and my sister are wgoing to watch a movie

Went to sparring the other day but I only got through the first few line drills. My foot is still too tender to bounce up and down or kick anything.  I did, however, receive a sparring credit from the PMAA seminar, so I only need two sparring classes to finish up. 

As strikes and blocks flow together, we see that life, too, is a balance of forces. Harmony comes not by resisting every challenge, but by moving with wisdom through it. 

Today was pretty good. i went to sparring class and helped out with the classes after that and then did leadership class, which is what i do every saturday. After that I came home and was pretty productive. I did all my requirements and stuff, practiced violin, and got a good bit of research done for my sociology paper, i also started making an outline for it. After that I played volleyball with my friends and came home, showered and ate dinner. I am going to watch a movie now byeee

My day was this morning I woke up got my uniform on and went to Master Shellys school in lake norman. After that  I got breakfast and then I went home Did my two mile and did the rest of my Exercises and I just chilled for the rest of the day.

Today was a normal day. First I woke up and went to sparring. Then I helped out with the junior tigers, got a mentee session in, helped out with the family class and took leadership. After that I ate lunch and read a book for some time and called my friends. Finally I played volleyball with my friends came back and I am about to watch a movie.

Today I went to black belt class in the morning and I helped out in the family class afterward. Once I got home, I took a shower and then I got started on my requirements. I had just gotten back from school trips, so I was very behind. But, I managed to get almost caught up and now I'm watching my favorite college football team get beaten up. So, yeah it's not great.

Today I had to go to my gramps early so he can take me to Saturday class while I was there I learned the rest of the 1st don one step with jack now I feel better now then when my grandpa took me home I worked on essays and I’m still right now working on them.

Today was definitely a busy day but let’s start from yesterday because I fell asleep before I could journal. I had a very long band trip to Hough High School and played at the football game, it was very exhausting. Today I had my pictures taken and also attended a birthday party which was very cool and we played a lot of laser tag.

Today I went to sparring class and did pretty well. I also ran 2 miles today and got all my requirements done. Hopefully going to eat out later. Bye

I missed my journal yesterday because my day was so full. Co-op whole day, then black belt at night. I did my run with my Dad first thing in the morning today.

I’m tired. That’s all I want to write but it won’t let me.

Today was black belt class and sparring. i ate chicken and tater tots for dinner. Goodnight.

Today was a normal day at school. I had another tryout/meeting for a club i want to join. I didn’t do well in band today either. After I came back home I did all my requirements and I did absolutely horrible on my run today. I’ve been getting times I got in the beginning of the cycle. I really need to lock in. After that I had dance class and I made some really good pasta for dinner. I watched TV and now I’m going to work on some essays for the cycle. I really wish I went to the pmaa seminar because I could’ve gotten some good credits from them. This cycle I didn’t go to any of the seminars and I really regret it. That’s it for today.

i went to school came back and went to class. thanks to the pma seminar i finished all my credits for this cycle which im glad. after that my dad made a fire and we had smores which was really good.

Today I got a 100 on my social studies test and got to play in the band for the football game. Only problem is our team is buns so we lost 6-27. Bye

Today we went on a field trip to the Knight Theater to see Step Afrika. It was a really cool performance and I was yelling a lot so my throat was hurting lol. After that we went across the street and there was this really cool place where we ate lunch. It was like a little park but there was this huge art balloon dome thing, i dont know how to describe it but it was really cool and we took a lot of pictures under it. After that we went back to school and we had free time. My teacher was playing spiderman no way home on the tv so I was watching that.

Today was amazing because our homeroom teacher told us around the end of the school year we are going to go on a feild trip to SC Murtle Beach or knowen as the outer banks. When I got home I played with cheeto and taffy my cats. nothing much today though.

Today I got a lot done. I didn’t have school today so thats one reason today was good. I went to my grandmas house from 8 till 5, so I was there almost the whole day. At her house I did my requirements and I finished an essay. Im really having stressful thoughts about the essays thats Im not going to get them done in time. But all I can do is keep on working. We also swam at my grandmas house and me and her went to Sam’s Club. After her house I went home and studied my written exam. Then I had some more stressful thoughts. And I am now about to go to bed.

I can't believe we are going into week 11. What happened with the time? I feel pretty good for the most part, but I'm sloppy on a few things as well. I'm worried about sparring and take-downs because of the injuries I've had this cycle. 

This morning I played with Cheeto my kitten he jumped close to 6 or 7 feet high in the air, I also played on my phone and did my requirements.

Today I went to the saturday bb class which was pretty fun but master Evins was not there. After the class I went to go run 2 miles and do my requirements, soon after I went home and took a nap from 10:00 to about 5:00.

Today at school we went to live annocments and me and my friends talked and stuff. Soon after school I went to my dads house and stayed the night, when I got home I did my requirements and I ran 2 miles.

Today was pretty good We worked on the written test during BBC. For dinner I had pizza and cheesy bread. The bread was so good.

Today was fun. I did my first black belt class on a Friday, which was pretty interesting after that me and my mom got pizza. And then when I got home, I talk to my friends on a call for a little, but after that I had to go do my run And that’s all I’m done today. 

Today at school we all went to the gym and my class is going to start doing a club only for 5th graders next week. Soon after school I went to the track and ran 2 miles and I went to my dads house and stayed there for an hour or two then I went to my moms house and ate and slept.

My day was good. There was no school today so I slept in.  After I woke up I did my Exercises then I  Got started on finishing my history of the kwans essay  for me it was it really fun learning about the Original kwan's school. I had a fun time. For dinner we went out to eat and then I got home and then Just chilled for the rest of the day.

I had a very slow run this morning, I'm not happy about it, it does not make me feel confident going into next week.   On a positive note, I'm studying the written and doing okay on my wife testing me.  I've done well on my curriculum practice, but only okay on most of my physical stuff.   Looking forward to a fun weekend with the family (and some TKD).  

This week was very eventful, as the weeks at the start of the school year often are. I am getting more comfortable with my regular schedule, and Tuesday in particular had a lot, despite me not having any classes. My homework is not as much as it was last semester. I have a few more things to do tonight, although it shouldn't be too bad. Taekwondo training with the UMN club is going well. I sent some of my poomsae videos from Hanmadang to the club president, who was interested in seeing them. I am trying to fix my form from those videos. I feel like I don't float enough, so to speak.

Today went to top golf with my football team and ate a lot of wings.

Today i went to school and to taekwondo. Then i made waffles. Goodnight.

Today was a pretty normal day at school. My dad is going on a trip with his friends to when I came home he was packing. I had some food and chilled for a little while and said bye to my dad. After I started my requirements. Usually Thursday is the easiest because I have no other classes but I missed class on Monday and I need leadership credits so I went for a class today. I had a fun time helping today and after I came back I went on my run and I tried a new route and it was odd. I came back and ate and then I joined a meeting for an organization I’m in. I had a shower and now I need to study for my science test tomorrow.

Hello today I woke up and went to school and then I did A helpmate seshon well thats all byyyyyu.

September 18 - Entry # 36 School was good. We got interim reports today. I've got all A's in all of my classes so far, so that's good. After school we came home and hung out with the family for a while. Worked on requirements, played a video game , ate dinner, then showered and got ready for bed. It was odd not having sparring today, because I've always went on Thursdays.. but I like the idea of having 2 off days back to back.

Hunter S. Thompson once said that the intention of the King Tiger Black Belt cycle is that, at the end, you should "skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" If he is correct, then I am right on schedule to arrive just as he stated.  

i went to school came back and rapped up an essay, pretty sure i have one left. went to tkd after that and got my last leadership credit, ive got 20 on both leadership credits now. so far not so bad.

For the 3rd week in a row Abigail and I spent Wednesday night at north Charlotte doing to sparring and black belt classes. Maybe I should have skipped the gym this morning because I am exhausted!

I had a good start to the day, woke up early and went through the curriculum.  I'm getting there, slowly but surely.  I glitched out on Green belt self defense and kick defense, but took my time and got the right moves (I did validate against the videos in the app).  THen I did some standard physical requirements.  

Today I almost missed the bus because I thought it was going to come in my neighborhood a different way like it usually did but when it came in it almost didn't see me, I got on though. I barely had anything at lunch, only some pineapples because they had pizza for lunch, yuck. I helped out an did warm-ups in class so that was cool. I ran a mile did some homework, and I'm about to go to bed right now.

I don’t know what’s going on with me. Last week I had acid reflux and this week I have a sore throat stuffy nose and a fever. Not fun especially with the black belt cycle. It’s so annoying how it happens just when the cycle is ending. I skipped my first 2 blocks of school today because my mom wanted to test me for covid, I don’t have it luckily. I went to my last 2 blocks of school and when I came back I had some food and rested a little before starting my requirements. I did some in the morning so I wouldn’t have to work as hard. I went on a normal run and it was pretty okay. I went to my class today too though I skipped it yesterday because I was feeling a lot worse yesterday. Class was fine today and I got caught up on...

Today i went to school which was boring as always. Then i went to help at taekwondo and then i went to trail life and to run. Then i came home and ate dinner. Goodnight.

Today my dad had a buisness trip. I've learned a new thing about pasta. If you boil milk you can make it curdle & then if you add a cornstarch slurry with more milk you can actually make a pseudo cheese sauce due to the fact that curdled milk is just cheese. This is great for cleariac puree.

September 16 - Entry # 34 Went to school. Today we had the ELA test for the county. I didnt do too good on it. After school, I did requirements, then went to black belt class.

Tuesday! Nothing new to report, gym early. Did some stick and bolo this afternoon. I still need to finish essays!! let’s keep going!

Today I was at school and I forgot I had homework and it was worth a test grade so I was very upset about that. After school I made sure to get all of my work done so that doesn't happen again. I am glad I learned from my actions.
