During the day, I did my treadmill run that I missed yesterday and reviewed my specials and self-defenses. When I came to the dojang I was assisting class with everything. Mentee and mentor sessions were completed during my time there. I did part two of my special self-defense for 2nd Dan and wrote down every attack pattern I'm supposed to do. When I got home I had dinner and read the one of two of my books.
Today I woke up and spent most of my morning relaxing and working on a few hobby projects. I then went to take photos for cross country. I went with Laia for her senior photos. I then helped her register for classes with the help of my mom. Afterwards we had team photos and non-senior individual photos. We had a few minutes at home before we had to head to open-house. I walked through my schedule and got to meet the few new teachers I have never had before (since I am taking so many advance classes I have met most of my teachers). I also walked Laia through her schedule and made sure she is all set for Monday. I then went to my running workout, which was amazing. I am feeling so pumped for Saturday's race. I then came home, yapped to my mom for a little bit, and...
Today's schedule has lots of changes. Samuel didn't go to school because he didn't feel well (not covid or viral, but they think he has stomach issues brewing again), added in a doctor's appointment for him, had to go do blood work for myself, and saw my nutritionist. In the middle of the nutritionist visit the fire alarm started going off so the visit was cut a bit short so she could evacuate. I also had a dentist appointment to check out an area that seems to have developed a lot of cold sensitivity recently. Lo and behold there is a cavity that needs taking care of, and my dentist can actually take care of it right now rather than having me come back. Well, sure, why not fix it now, plus cold sensitivity isn't the most fun thing to deal with. I've been with this dentist for seventeen years, so...
Went to the Belmont dojang for black belt class, it was very nice. I came home to clean and do some requirements in between. I’ll probably take a quick nap and work on the study guide material. There definitely things I need to refresh on.
today I went to my friends house to play cod and zombies. Then I went and jogged for 2 miles on my school track. Then I went and made chicken nuggets. Now I'm going to sleep.
Was able to get another class assistance credit with the kids class. Then came early for the adult class and was able to mentor 2 folks. Then after class Master Foster was kind enough to do a mentor session with me.
Today was an ordinary day until this afternoon. I went to my first trail life meating.when I woke up I had breakfast and then went to school and apparently my schedule was changed again. Then after that I went home did my requirements and then went to trail life and run. The time flies by.

Good night and good bye.
Today I woke and went to work. I was with group 3. Today we went to the splash pad. The water was really cold so I didn’t get in that much. We did some big mat games and ate snack.

Today I woke up for school at 6am, for school which is normal for me, I went to school shortly after I got up and had a very long day. Were still in the introducing stage to we don't even really do much real work so it makes for longer days. After that I went for a run on my schools track which is a nice track because every lap is exactly one mile, so it's nice. After we had to take dinner to one of my mom's friends because his wife broke her ankle so we took them some turkey for dinner.
Today day I did some of the written test with some help from Instructor Jen. then I went to my brothers football practice. that's all

Today i went to school like normal. I woke up on time this time. I went to after school and got my burpees done. (i dunno if i spelled burpees right) After after school i went to the gym. I did a lot there and practiced my jump roping. I plan to use that for my essay. I still have no leadership credits so i need to work on that severely. Okay i'm done now.

I did some assignments in health, aced a Spanish quiz, took a huge amount of notes in bio, got homework done in Civics, did a reading in English, and won a math competition. After school I came home and relaxed. I then had dinner and went to class where I got my last leadership credit. Now I am working on chores and then reading my book. Goodnight everyone.

Good afternoon Hope you had a good day. I'm practicing for a honors band. Getting all my requirements and everything is going smoothly. Hope everyone has a good day.
Today was pretty standard, I went to school, got my homework done and then we went to the gym but ended up going back home to do our stuff instead. I got a music player and I've been using it and it works pretty well. I ran a mile in nine minutes, not my fastest, but it was good. I played capture the flag in P.E. and I scored a point but we lost in the end, it was still fun though. Anyway, I have some stuff I want to do, I'm not going to TKD today so I can do some church stuff, anyway, see you guys tomorrow!
We're at the beach until tomorrow. I'm planning on practicing on the strand today.
Yesterday I went to the beach and I practiced poomsae's at the beach house in front of my cousins and my mom and I went for a bike ride on the beach in the evening.
Monday- The routine is really helping, 2 miles, finish ALL exercises and then about a 20 minute stretch. I highly recommend Sarah Beth Yoga on youtube. We pop it on the TV in the living room and stretch. Monday was a little busy at work, lots of things coming to a head trying to start prepping for the end of the quarter and end of the year, which is crazy that it's already almost September. We went and helped with the 5:15 and took the 6 and 6:45, classes. Worked with some white belts, which is always fun, even my youngest is long past that age! I worked with a new Mentee between classes which was nice. It's interesting to me that each person really has their own struggles.
Henry and I went a bike ride on the beach yesterday evening, which was a great workout!
Of course, I am still struggling with increasing my upper body strength. I really want to be capable of doing pull-ups one day and I understand it may take awhile. My plan is to incorporate some L-sit pull-ups with a TRX strap…that could possible help. We will see….
Helped with the kids class this afternoon before the black belt class. Class went fine then i went for a jog at the park. Did 3 miles tonight.
Ran 2 gentle miles today. Stretched and enjoyed me some calisthenics. Completed requirements early and got some homework done. Started working on my paper.
Today I woke up and went to my facial this morning. I then spent most of the day doing a few things I needed to do. I then went to practice, which was fun to introduce Laia to the cross country team. I then came home, relaxed, and now I am here.
On the Cycle, it seems like there's always something. Today it was trying to get my allergy shots. I got out of the house a few minutes late but still with enough time to get there before they stopped for lunch. Except the was a closure on the road outside the subdivision. And my gas light came on because I didn't fill up on Friday after sparring. And then the massive accident that I had to go around. Somehow I still made it with a few minutes to spare. Then when I got back home I tried to get some more work done and after finally obtaining access to the code repository, it wouldn't compile. We tried a lot of stuff but nothing would kick it loose. And near the end of the day I was told to stop worrying about it because it might get built out onto one of...
Hello everyone, I woke up for class today, I started part of my project assignment during class time and did some machinery stuff for the day. When I got back I read, did some chores and did my poomsaes and self-defenses and hapkidos and had my dinner, unfortunately I didn't run today, felt like I crashed after being in the heat for a period. I will run tomorrow though and assist with class.
Called my dad tonight and actually got him on the phone. I was telling him about our black belt requirements and he responds with "sounds great if you're retired". He isn't wrong, it's a lot of work to do every day for weeks on end. I did kicks in the living room and was working on doing turning kicks. Mark told me the kicks looked really good. Now if only they will let me test in my socks on carpet so I can look good on testing night.
I had a great day at school and my favorite part was learning about Cells in science class. This was really cool. I went to Taekwondo after school to help senior tiger class and meet with my mentor. I went running with my Dad and finished my exercises after Taekwondo. Today was a good day.
Today, I woke up, got some requirements done, and went to school. After school, I attended a black belt class for my last weekday black belt class credit that was required. Of course, I will still try to attend all of them. Have a good night.
First day of classes and busy with work already. Got home from school with my energy drained so I took a huge nap. I got to work out a little before realizing I had a English III assignment due tomorrow which I only half worked on. Luckily, I just submitted the assignment and will now resign myself to bed.
Today I woke up and went to work. I was with the older group. We went to the park at Blythe Landing. We got back and played games. When I got home I walked my dog. It was a pretty chill day because we had such a busy weekend.
Today was the first day of my math class. It was okay but a little bit fast paced. I headed to the dojang after a wonderful nap at home, stayed for a little longer for fun, and then went home again.
Today was a busy day. First, I woke up to my sister's alarm instead of mine so I went back to sleep and then woke up to my alarm and ate breakfast, but Keleigh would no stop whining. After that I got to school and got to my homeroom. Then went to my a day class which is Mandarin class. Then went to my core 1 which is supposed to be Mrs. Patterson class but I went to Mrs. Vigles class because I didn't get a new schedule.
Today is my lacrosse practice we worked on shooting and its my mom's birthday! The cake we had tonight was really good. Now it's really late so I have to go to bed.
I had to get up early today because I had a dentist appointment. They had to numb my mouth. I had to have a filling because of a deformed tooth, we stopped at Chick-fil-A on the way home. It was hard to eat because my mouth was numb. I had pizza for lunch. After I ran 2 miles. When I was done I watched a Black Panther movie. I have open house at school tomorrow.
Hi King Tiger Family. I hope everyone is doing well. Not a bad Monday. Work was a little pile on but all good. Will catch up. I am still a little behind requirements but will fix it this week. I am still working on essays but have studied a bunch for the written test. I need to work on creative. I have ideas but need to solidify it. Let’s go! Have a great week. Take care.

I got a ton of homework done and jotted down a bunch of notes for bio. I worked on an assignment for civics and some math prep. After school, I went to work and got a leadership credit and class assistance credit. Magnolia and the Sheehan’s attacked me for absolutely NO REASON. But, I destroyed them. It was a sad day because it was Matthew and Tigers last days before college. It was a sad departure but it’s been great learning from them and they will be back to visit. I got home for a night of dinner, chores, and homework. Goodnight everyone.

Today i slept in (on accident) and went to school. School was cool and i got through it pretty easily. I went to after school and did class. This cycle is teaching me to be responsible (I've said this already in previous journal). I have to remember to journal and get my requirements done, help in classes and get my classes done. Okay i'm done now
It's been a rough day. My head has been hurting non stop, I'm coughing, and I feel extremely exhausted. Getting through everything today was NOT an easy task. On a happier note, I have a new mentee. Yay!!! It's only 730, I'm going to bed. Night all.
Cheers to another gifting day today at Mint Hill Park, as Master Scott awarded me another hand made staff, thank you Sir! We blessed it right away with staff forms 1 & 2. The helicopter fans were roaring heavily as the thicker bamboo cavities at the end of the staff eat up the air while practicing!
Hello everyone, today I played some handball at P.E. and I think I did pretty good. So, what happened was we had a team that was called the Batman team and we did awesome. We were able to score lots of points and block lots of shots, and I scored as well, and we won! Then after school we did our exercises and then went to TKD, and I was able to get things checked off and I got leadership credit as well. I hope everyone had a good day, bye.
Training day. Lots of fun today as we practiced Bocho dan self defenses. Apparently there’s more to falling and rolling than meets the eye. We practiced breaking the fall and rolling through the left side of the throw in set number 3 of the whole.
so I got up and took my friend home then went to church. Then I went to dave and busters with declan for his birthday and got frozen yogurt. then i went to youth. it was fun because we played dodgeball. then i ran around my neighbor hood.
today I went for a early jog to get the morning started. Then I had waffles and eggs for breakfast. After that I went to my fimriends house to play video games and board games. Now I'm at tkd to get my credits and stuff.
I lost my keys at work today. So I had to walk home, but at least I got my miles in. Thankfully when I had a spare at home so my partner drove me back to my ke
Sunday- Back on the running today, I felt extra slow and my calves were tight so took some time after to do some stretching. I've never stretched this much in my life, but I feel good. Did some shopping today, went to the Super G Mart, which is one of my wife's favorite activities, we like exploring different foods and new things. Sometime they are more successful than others. I don't think we got anything too exotic this time, just variation of things we know we like. Plus their veggies are a pretty good deal usually. Got home and did some requirements and ran through Poomsae's and self defenses with Abigail. I need to buckle down and get some Essays finished up this week. Almost halfway!
Since i was so tired from saturday i just slept normal hours at night and got up and did day stuff. Fixed our refrigerator, the, condenser fan motor starting making a high pitched squeal so I replaced that and put in a new water and air filter. Went grocery shopping with Levi. Woke up with some sort of head cold so the sudafed put me to sleep so i took a nap for a couple hours this afternoon. Woke up to the dog to the vet for a check up then came home and spent 3 hours mowing the lawn and repotting my Spruce for the cycle into a bigger pot. I got a bunch of ant bites on my right ankle so thats all swollen. Now i need to stay up tonight to get back on third shift schedule.
Saturday was a long day. Got off work at 7am then Levi and I went to sparring class at 9am. Was up the whole day due to hanging out with friends and our fantasy football draft. Was too exhausted to do any requirements.
Today I woke up and went to church. The pastor who spoke today, Pastor Taylor did an amazing job. Oh, also I guess I forgot to mention it, our foreign exchange student arrived yesterday. After church we went to Target with her to get a few things for her room. I then came home and chilled for a while before going out with my entire family to get ice cream. I then came home took a nap (that is why I am up so late) and then played some video games with Logan, Tiger, and Matthew. I then showered and now I am here.
This morning, we dragged ourselves out of bed and headed to the park for some practice. Not a good place to roll or fall but we can't still all work together on self defenses. We also did some weapons forms before everyone broke up. Later we went to the gym and I managed to do an hour on the treadmill. I still don't feel quite right but I think I'm doing a lot better. I really wonder if between trying to maintain my normal eating and recovering from being sick if I just haven't been getting enough calories to sustain myself on the Cycle. I feel a lot more normal today but I've also been eating like a crazed maniac. I think I'm slated to teach class tomorrow - or at least help out - depending on who else shows up. Gonna be a lot of kicking this week so I'd...
Looking forward in the book for this week and a couple.od.weeks past that I realized that we are in high requirement time. It feels like I'm always borderline hungry regardless of what I eat, and Mark pretty much commented the same feelings for himself. It's hard getting through everything we have to do sometimes if you literally run out of gas part way. The irony is, I am not sure what to eat and I'm rarely craving anything in particular. And water-soooooo much water. We did get up and go train at the park today with other TKD friends. It was weird teaching the self defenses I'm currently trying to learn and perfect to others. I also got to demo how to do the wrist locks on first Dan special (thank you Master Cavazos). Time to get ready for bed and do it all over again tomorrow.....
Today I went to church in the morning, did my requirements at home. Spent my evening preparing for school tomorrow.
On Saturday, I woke up and went to sparring class. Then, I assisted a junior tiger class. After the classes, I went home and finished my requirements, then I had to go to a party. On Sunday, I had no classes. I finished my requirements and only ran 1.15 miles in the evening because it started to rain. I also started my nutrition challenge of at least 2 fruits a day and at least 2 cups of milk a day. Have a good night.
Today I got to do my requirements early and spend the evening preparing for classes tomorrow. Not sure if I have everything I need currently, but I will go check once more.
Hey all, today I did my treadmill run, hoping sometime I can decrease the time of my movements. It is getting easier for me to do each exercise now there were on week 6 of the cycle. Gonna get rested for tomorrow morning. Goodnight.
Today i woke up and did my requirments. Then i got home and ate. I almost forgot to do my journal today but i luckily remembered. Tomorrow i have school so bye bye weekend. I'm getting better at jumproping everyday. I need to see my mentee more. My favorite part of today was jumproping. I got some of my written test done today, planning to work on that this week. Okay i'm done now.
So today I got up did some requirements and then went to mass and then got the rest of the way packed up and we got in the car and started driving to the beach We go to sunset Beach So that's not outer Banks but like closer inward. But it's still like a 4-Hour drive but when we got there we unpacked and then went for a walk on the beach and barbecue for dinner and went for a walk on the beach and then we went home. We had dessert and then I started journaling and that's where I am right here

Hello everyone, today was a really good day for me because I did lots of fun things. First thing that I did was go to church and pass the sacrament. But something else happened, we were able to bring Zayne back to our house because he goes to the same church as us. We went home and we went on a walk that was five miles, we saw all crazy things and Zayne picked up a turtle. We also saw this wasp nest right over our head that was filled with wasps, and we also peed in a river under a bridge. Then we went home and had lunch and then we taught Zayne how to play DND and we had a fun campaign. Then, Zayne's dad came and we all had dinner, then when they left we watch stranger things. bye.
Today we went to Church and after we went and walked five miles so me and Jack are almost done with miles for the week. Zayne was walking with us and he came home and we made him a DnD character and played a campaign. After that we ate dinner and talked then Zayne went home and we finished the first episode of the third season of Stanger Things just now and that's it, bye.
Hope everyone had a special Sunday and is excited for magnificent Monday!!! Today I got up and went to church and afterwards I played with my friends. I ate potatoes and steak for lunch. While me and my friends were playing, their brother’s friend came over. I ate dinner and watched the show with my family! I hope it was a special Sunday for all good night!!! P.S. Today is National Ice Cream Pie Day!!! ~Magnolia~
Today I woke up walked four miles which was very tiring and then I took a break and then I wrote another essay then I stayed at my grandparents house for the day then my parents and sister came over to have dinner there and right before dinner I did my requirements.
For some reason, I feel like I need another day or two this weekend. Got my requirements done early this am. I've been working on side kicks and trying to make them beautiful, and I feel like I had a little breakthrough today, well, yesterday, actually. I'm also feeling a little more confidant with tornado kicks, but they're still definitely not beautiful. I managed to get to the pool for an hour today between a bunch of Whole Foods delivery shifts. It was nice to just lay on my raft and close my eyes for a little while.
Today nothing really eventful happened. I went to birkdale, shopped around, bought nothing. Some school stuff arrived off of amazon because school starts the 26th where I live.
I woke up, ran over a mile and did my requirements. Then I came inside and ate breakfast. Then I went to poomsae class - it was fun and we did stretching. At home we had lunch and had a face-off lacrosse practice. It was fun. I just had my dinner - it was a normal Sunday.
Good afternoon, everyone! I've been slacking on my journals for a while and realized that I haven't tracked on the website in a long time. My first week of high school was definitely different compared to what I thought it was going to be like, but it wasn't bad at all. I have a class in a few minutes and will start writing my lengthy journals like they used to soon. Have a wonderful day!
Happy Sunday Today I slept in for the first time in weeks. Normally, I get up, go to the park with some other blackbelts, work on poomsaes, self defense, ect. I needed a day to just chill. I've been overly sore and need a day to decompress. It was well deserved.
Today since it was Sunday I didn't really do much, I did go to church and had a really good sermon. After I just hung out and then went to Harris Teeter so that my mom could pick a few things up. Then we went home and I just chilled and did some requirements and just hung out. I am waiting for my dad and brother to get back from Colorado, their land time is 7:45 ET so they should be back soon.
Good afternoon, just got done with taking a shower, I went to Church today, it was good. Spent the rest of the day doing requirements and listening to Morgan Wallen. Hope everyone has a good rest of the day.
I am back to work tonight so I had to use my time wisely. Since I am back in school, I alternated my time between requirements and reading. Both classes, AI Fundamentals and ML Computation, are pretty interesting. They are online so I think I can swing this. The requirements get me moving so no prolonged sitting. I had gotten a little behind on my tracking and was able to update that. Soon, it will be time for my nap. Have a good "rest of your Sunday". I'm out!
Good morning, I have to journal bright and early since my first twelve hour period of digital detox starts soon. Yesterday I went to Black Belt class, got a class assistance credit, and a mentee session. Later that day we went to a friends house to swim. Then I watched a movie with my dad. I'll see you tomorrow.
Saturday- got up and went to blackbelt class, I felt good, but I’ve bruised my shoulder doing rolls and falls I think. I seem to always have some ache or pain during this cycle, I need to stop complaining! Saturday night my wife and I went downtown and had a nice dinnner and saw a play. It was a really good time. We don’t get out much!
Today I took black belt class early, and did some requirements. After that I ran some errands and worked on my essay, I did my german and practiced my kickes before bed.
I have not journaled in a bit. But I finished my first week of school and am having a sleepover with my friend. goodnight.
So I woke up and we to black belt class. We worked On self defenses today. We had a mentor session after class. We did some self defense. I went to my best friends pool today. I think we played for about 4 hours. I put on sunscreen but it did not work today. I got sunburnt on my nose and cheeks. After I left we had to get ready to get ready for the panthers preseason game against the jets. Of course we lost. So we had to take the train of same back to the car. It felt like it took forever to get home. Now you are all caught up on my happens today.
Today I woke up and went to class and after class I mentor session. We worked on my second don self defense. I came home and ate breakfast. We then went to the Davidson farmer market and picked up some blackberries. The I went to go get the boat with my dad. But the boat trailer was flat. Luckily some at the storage lot had an air compressor to fill the tires and come home. Once we got home. I helped my dad clean the boat. I had to clean some mold and algae off the seats. It has been in storage for about 2 years. We then went to the Panthers game. They lost 15 to 6.
I went to black belt class this morning. We practiced Bocho self-defense and Grandmaster Evins emphasized using the crescent kick and also the correct shoulder to use during a roll. I do not like rolls even though I have gotten better (they were really bad!), but I know I have to practice them. My right side is better though I am left-handed. Afterwards, I assisted with Junior Tigers and had a mentoring session. Goodnight 😴💤!
Black belt class was focused more on self-defense today. Mostly bocho 1-steps but it was good practice. Went home, did some cleaning, and moved onto requirements.
I know it may seem silly to everyone else, but for some reason it really bothers me when the grass gets tall. Not like a quarter inch too long tall, I'm not worried about that. Weirdly enough, I just really dislike the idea of walking out in the yard in the morning to check the garden areas and having the grass so long it wets my shoes and socks with dew or rain, then you get wet feet. I also realized while mowing that one of the rose bushes I bought and thought was a hybrid tea is a climbing vine, so I need to get it supported somehow. Working backwards in the day, I made fried chicken sandwiches for dinner. Because of all my food allergies/sensitivities I don't eat out much, and it's gotten a bit more restrictive due to the food challenge Mark took on so we don't lot...
We got up this morning and, despite being sore and tired, got ready to head out for Black Belt class.
