Candidate Journals

Hi today I woke up and went to school then I went to king tiger after school and then did a mentor and mente then I did my requirements and I'm really good at push-ups then I did sparing. Well thats all byy.

Today I had my math diagnostic at school, after school I went home finished a project and went to help with class and then did sparring.

Nothing really happened today except I just got my first pieces of homework at school today.

Today was a normal day. First I woke up and went to school. After that I came back and ate a snack and did my requirements. Then I did my dance practice and did my homework. Finally I read a book for sometime and then ate dinner and watched tv.

So   I’m almost done with my sloppy copy of my letter to self.  At king tiger after school I ate snack and did a mentee session . Then I did sparring class. That’s it bye

Today I went to school and I got to almost finish my Science Fair Project but all I have to do is my experiment. After school I came to my dads house and chilled out for a little bit before we had to go to Taekwondo and we all had a sparring class. After sparring class I went home to my dads house and I did my requirements and took a shower plus I also updated the site for me. Well basically thats it for today but today was good.

Tomorow is a football game & as such me & the rest of the band will be there. I recentley learned I am extremley posotive. This is useful to keep things normal as states of disarray only lead to a changing opinnion. I vote malevolence should be added as an emotion in peoples minds.

Normal day at school, got a 90 on my social studies quiz and ran 3 miles today. Got the teach some 6th graders in band how to play their instruments today. 

Nothing to really report today.  Pretty normal day, went to the office for a few hours, came home, worked some more, mixed in requirements, read to my youngest, did some household chores.  My wife made a delicious butternut squash soup for dinner.  For the rest of the night, I'll do some more chores, watch some jeopardy, and maybe an episode of The Punisher (we're working our way through the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe).

Today is Thursday. I have one day left until my 4 day weekend. I can’t wait. I’m going to play 2k a lot.They need to drop more codes. I need to hit a ruby rep. And I’m going to sleep in late. And at school I need us to max out on decline. I’m really curious what my max will be.

Today i woke up went to the beach and thats about it night!

Today I ran two miles with my dad. I will also be going to the lower belt class as a white belt for my essay. I will also be going to sparring class as a Bo Cho Dan. 

Today was my last full day of summer at home. It was mostly spent on essay work and packing. I went to go work out at the gym and then enjoyed lunch with my sisters and my grandfather. Packing has never been something I was particularly good at, and I am in the midst of sorting through the mess that I have with all my stuff. It's a good thing my flight is in the afternoon tomorrow.

today i only had 1 class at school. after school, i took my grandma and my girlfriend to lunch. i came home and got ready for band. band went okay i suppose. after that i did requirements and rode around with my mom.

Today was color belt testing, I went to the dojo and assisted with the test. It was good to see them be able to display what they have been working on over the last couple weeks.  We didn’t have black belt class or sparring, I will have to make up for that. I will probably go to Harrisburg on Friday to get those extra credits I need.

August 27 - Entry #19 Today I got up and went to school. After school, we took my sister to get her second hole on her ears pierced. It was one of my "off" days. So, after getting her ears pierced, we went home and relaxed most of the evening. Ate dinner, got some requirements done, then showered and got ready for bed. 

I'm feeling pretty good. My neck hurts if I move it certain ways, but it's much better and I've still been getting the work in although a few modifications here and there. Said goodbye and good luck to Matthew last night - he's off to school, but he'll be back before too long.  

Today I had a 4 hour newborn session and I've been up since 5:30 AM so I'm going to bed!  Peek at my photos: https://www.instagram.com/p/DN4dYmOjb-J/?img_index=3&igsh=MWkyb3F2ZmdkMTRw

I had a really good day today. First I went to the gym and worked back, chest, and legs. When I was done with working out I went home and played my guitar. After practicing my guitar I went to band and did a good job. Then I went to out to eat with my dad. We saw a place that was teaching jujitsu. So we went inside and checked it out and it was pretty cool. I have been wanting to do jujitsu for a while now and I finally found a place to do it. 

Today was an okay day at school. We had a fire drill today but the alarm kept malfunctioning and went off 4 times off and on so that was annoying. It was a pretty chill day, didn’t do much since it’s only the 3rd day of school. Afterschool there was an interest meeting for a club I want to join, Deca. So I attended that with some of my friends. After I came home, I had a snack and watched a little TV and then started my requirements. Sparring and BB class was cancelled today so I had more time but had to do more work because I had to do my poomsae, self defense and kicks at home. Today I felt a lot more exhausted than usual and my run wasn’t really hard but I got a slower time so I guess I was just going slow without realizing. I...

I love the fact that freinds work together. You can ask them stuff almost as a gestalt conciousness or hivemind. They are inhernently interesting due to their nature of assimilation. This adds to the existing knowledge base making everybody smarter. It would be funny to see this in the real world.

Tired again. School, football, Blackbelt, homework. Tired again. 

Today me and my friends ran a mile during recess. Went to aftercare and then helped my mentee before her testing. After dinner and homework, I finished my requirements and my run. 

Another exhausting day on cycle 😅 😐 🙁 ☹️ 😟 😫 😫 aaanyway I managed to get the vast majority of my school work done before lunch and the really exhausting thing today was fraternus which for people who haven't been regularly reading my journal entries it's an evening program at my church but last week the challenge was to make a sword and actually had one from last year but I forgot to bring it luckily I was able to borrow someone else's sword but the reason we had to bring them is because they had fruit Ninja or kind of a reproduction of it🍅🍍🍉🥒🍌🗡️⚔️ but all in all it was pretty fun once again exhausting. aaggghhhhh!! 

Today was a normal day. First I woke up and ran. Then I went to school and came back. After that I ate a snack and did my requirements and did my music practice. Finally I went to taekwondo and took a class.

Today I went to school and had a quiz in the second period. That sucked, but the rest of the day was good. I got home, worked on some homework, and went to sparring class. I had a lot of fun and got to practice some new kicks that I have been working on. After I got home, I ate dinner and worked on some more homework, and I'm about to go to bed. 

Today is Monday. Pretty chill day. In weight lifting class we maxed out on an incline bench.  I lifted 110ibs. I was pretty happy. I’m guessing next week we are going to max out on decline. If I got 110 on incline I know I can do more than 95lbs on a flat bench. After school I came home. I went to taekwondo. And came back home.

Today was pretty good, I didn't have as much homework, just exercise 4 for logic, 15 problems for math, exercise 9 for Latin, and reading chapters of the bible in Mathew. I went to class today and got a mentor and leadership credit in.

Today was ok. Went to school, ran at recess and class was ok. I was a car rider so I can come home and relax before taekwondo. At taekwondo I got a class,class assistance,mentor and mentee session in so it was a win. Class was good too but now I am home relaxing for the night getting ready for tomorrow. Goodnight :)

Hi today I woke up and went to school and went to king tiger after school and then I did a mentor and mente session then I went to church after that I went home and ate dinner. 

My day was good. I woke up did my Exercises. I then went to school after school I did my two mile run and I just chilled for the rest of the day 

Today I took my dog axel on my run and he didn't pull. I also went to a sparring class an got a bunch of headshots.

Today I had my iready diagnostic then I went home after then I went to soccer.  

So today when I went to school, I had my math test I ace that test.  Then I went to King Tiger after school I got there and ate snack. Then I helped out with a class. I did a mentee session and a mentor session. Then I went to church. And now I am home. I just ate dinner and that’s really yet byyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeee.🐯

Today was great, I woke up, went to school. We had a star reading test today, I think I did really good. After school we went home and got ready for taekwondo. I went to my brothers shin kickers class, drills for skills, and a sparring class. I also got a mentor session in with Libby. After taekwondo I went home, had dinner, and went to bed.

I started my run and met this very nice elder man with a German Shepard named Zeus. Zeus kept sniffing me and everything else since he hasn't been outside for a while. Something that was surprising about Zeus is he was over 100 pounds. We parted ways halfway through my run but he was the nicest person I met during all my runs.

Since I haven’t journaled in a few days, this will be about the last few days. Monday was my first day of school and I didn’t get home until 6:30 AT NIGHT. This is due to some bus confusion and people getting on wrong busses. (That’s why I wasn’t there Monday) The busses are still late but getting better. My teachers all all nice but one and I don’t get too much homework so far so that’s good. Hopefully the next 178 days of school will go just as well.

Today I woke up and got ready for school, did some requirements while I waited for the bus. When I got to school, I went to class and started to read. Then I went to CE where we learned about tool safety. Then I went to PE and got crushed in basketball. Then went to science where I learned about the atmosphere. Then went to math and learned about unit scale drawings. 

I continue working on my creative form.  It's coming along, I've written a few things down, and changed it up a little, but should be all set soon.  I taught 2 classes last night, and met with my mentee, all went well, and I ended up getting a pretty decent workout during it also.  Today I'll be taking short breaks at work and using my index cards for training.  Then this evening I"m going to study for the written exam.  

Today i will be skipping the lower belt class because of church. I hope i can get all my exercises before my performance.

Today was my last day of work this summer at King Tiger. Don't worry, I'm coming back eventually, I always do. I'm going to spend tomorrow packing and getting things in order for when I leave. Hopefully I get a lot of black belt cycle things in too. Anyway, I hope to see everyone on future zoom calls, and I will continue my training in Minnesota.

Today I went to school which was boring and after school I went to trail life and we had to see who could build a fire first. My group didn't win because we put too thick of twigs on the fire starter thing we made. After trail life I went to cookout which was good. Goodnight.  

August 26 - Entry #18 Today I chose to do my digital detox. I started off with school. After school, I went to my great grandparents and did some requirements before class. When I got to class, I worked on some of my back falls and also helped with other classes. I still need to work on hapkido 2 and 3. When class was over, I made a quick stop at the grocery store with my mom, then came home and started getting ready for bed. 

Today I went to my neighbors house to watch the new but then I look at the clock and it was time to go to TKD. I was there a little late but at least I got there. After TKD I went home to go eat some chicken with my family.

I went to school in the morning. Nothing much happened today, I went to band and my adobe class for the first time and had an assembly today. I also started my diet and am just doing a simple diet of high protein, less sugar and fried food, basically no junk food. I almost missed my bus in the afternoon because I got lost. Once I got home I had a snack and then started my requirements. I went on a new route for my run and got a little lost but I figured it out. I went to my taekwondo class after and it was pretty fun. I finally caught up on my mentee sessions and learned bo cho specials. I just had dinner and am gonna go study now.

Today was a normal day. First I woke up and I ran a mile. After that I went to school. Then I came back ate a snack and did my homework. Finally I did my requirements and did my dance practice and read a book.

Second day of school and I got to go to my second elective today which was art. My art teacher is pretty cool, she lets us have our phones out sometimes, but some bad kids kept snickering and giggling at the back of the class so we got that took away. But a cool thing she has is guinea pigs which are behind her desk. I actually got to pet and feed them which was cool. I went to practice but I didn't get to help in the class before mine since my bus is very late and it gets to my neighborhood at like 6 o'clock. But that's my day.

Another good day today. We got up and ran 2+ miles and. Then hit the gym, the rest of the morning we spent on the beach. We came back for lunch and Abigail and I did some self defense and poomsae. Back to the beach and then dinner and bed! 

Another exhausting day on cycle!  So the biggest thing today was convocation for our homeschool co-op and it had four of the dads as speakers and then there was a huge dessert bar afterwards that we actually made which was kind of cool but anyway it was definitely exhausting just like everything else on cycle😫😫

Today I was able to do a half mile at school. I helped some kids in aftercare get ready for testing and I also helped out with a jr tigers class. 

Today we had a nice day of school and then we got prepped for convocation tonight which provided the desserts for and it was really nice. Four of the dads got up and talked about certain virtues and encourage the kids for the new school year and it was. It was just a nice evening

Today I had school, a test, and helped out with a class.

today i had late arrival at school and didnt have to be there until 1:30. i got out at 3 and had marching band until 5. after that i went straight to work. i got done with that at 8:30 and now im at home wrapping up my day.

Today was picture day at school and thankfully I got to skip part of math class because of that then I went home did some requirements then I went to tkd then after that I finished my requirements.

My day was good. I woke up did my Exercises before I went to school. After school I went to the Dojang helped out. Got home around 7:00 ate dinner and thats it.

Today I went to school and then went to tkd I had a lot of fun working on the self defenses

I’ve missed a couple of days to blog, but I think I can catch up. I woke up, went to school, after school I went to taekwondo for a blue belt class. After that class was a black belt class. I got a mentor session in with Libby to, so thats good! Afterwords we went to McDonald’s for dinner, then I came home and went to bed.

Today I went to school and it was pretty boring. I just hung out with my friends, and we had picture day today. I had to finish some homework when I got home. Right after I finished, I had to get ready for class. I helped with the lower belt classes and got a mentor session. I stayed for the black belt class, for f-defense most of the time. When I got home, my sister's friend was here, so I talked to him for a while, and now I'm gonna go to bed. 

Today I went to school and we had to do our 10 questions for our science fair projects. But anyways I went to my dads house after school and I stay for about 20 minutes and we went to Taekwondo which was pretty fun. After that I went to my moms house and I did my school work and requirements. But anyways today was okay.

Hi today I woke up and went to school and then went to king tiger after school and then I did a menty session with a blue belt then I did a mentor session I did stick and bolo then I went home played with friends then ate dinner now I'm going to bed byy.

Normal day at school. Got 100 on my reading quiz. Went to tdk to help out with class. gn

Today was a ok day. Went to school, boring as normal. I got on the bus but got off on time since I was a car rider. I went to tkd after a live event on my game. I helped out with class and did some requirements after. I went to go pick something up from my aunt and went to the store to get dinner. Now I am back home about to relax. bye :)

today was my second day of school and I am getting to know the school better.

So today I went to school then I went to King Tiger after school. Then I helped a class did a mente session and a mentor session . then I went home. I played with my friends and ate dinner that’s it bye-bye.

Today is Sunday. I woke up and my voice is a lot better. We went to church. Then I went to my uncle's house. We played on his  playstation  for a couple of hours then went to my grandma's house. As soon as I got there my grandma had cookies ready. But her rule is we have to eat dinner first. So I ate dinner. Then I ate the cookies. Then I came home and ran. And now I am writing.

I got to see my bday classes today. I have a new math teacher & I learned about significant digits. significant digits are just digits that actually contribute to the percission of the number. so you can remove the 0.01 & change it to .01 instead which is obviously the most logical choice.

My 30 day nutrition challenge is complete,  It was difficult at the start, but by the end, I wasn't even thinking about having a "late night" snack.  Now I can finish that essay and the only one I'll have left is the kick-a-thon.     Today's poomsae time will be devoted to my creative.  I've got a lot of it done, but I haven't tried it from start to finish, so it might not flow as well as I think.     

Today I will be helping out with the lower belt class. I wasn’t able to do a mentee session yesterday so I hope I can do one today. 

So, today I think I learned all of Double Stick 2! It wasn't too hard to learn once I got the beginning. Aside from that, I got some more essay work done, and packed a little bit to go back to school on Thursday. I had to ride my bike to work today, but other than that, not much interesting happened.

August 25 - Entry #17 Woke up and went to school. They postponed our test because our teacher is sick so we're taking it tomorrow. After school I did some requirements, ate dinner, then went to class to help with the lower belts. Once class was over, I stopped by the grocery store with my mom and sister, then went back home and worked on my poomsaes & hapkido. After that, I got ready for bed.

Today I went to school but I started to not feel well but I pushed through but then I had to go run and do taekwondo and I also had to push through that. Then I went home and somehow ate dinner. I’m gonna get some rest and hopefully I feel better tomorrow. Goodnight.  

Today I ran on the track at school during recess. I helped out with class in aftercare and after Stix i helped out with another class.  After dinner, I did the rest of my requirements and then watched a movie with my mom.

I am tired. That’s it. Good night.  Bye.  I am tired.

Spent the day at the beach, I’m burnt. Didn’t run or anything but we’ll get back on it. 

Today was back to school and it was alright after school I got ready for soccer practice then I went home, did my requirements then had dinner.

Today was a very homework-heavy day. I had a ton of math and I also had tkd class and requirements. I got all my workouts done and now I'm going to bed.

Today I went to the gym and worked on my legs. After the gym I went to open house at school and got to see my friends that I haven't seen in a while. When I was back home I went to TKD and had a good time.

Today was my first day of high school. It wasn’t that bad but I need to figure out how to make friends all over again. I’m kind of scared to start doing work especially with the cycle I need to be better with time management but it is easier since school lets out at 2:15 instead of me getting home at 5:30. After school I had a snack and started my physical requirements. I went to taekwondo class after, helped out in one class, attended the next, the usual. Pretty light stuff today. I decided to skip my run today because it was getting pretty dark and I just wasn’t feeling it today because my rest day wasn’t really a rest day because I was out the whole day. I’m gonna try to get my run in before taekwondo class tomorrow, sometime in the afternoon. I’m gonna study a little of...

It was my first day to school, and it went by pretty fast. I met all my teachers and I introduced myself to the class. The day went pretty well and I got back with most of my friends since we all went to the same school again. At home I had to hurry and do half of my requirements, since I got home at like 6:00 because my bus driver was kinda crazy. I finished with my run when I got home and that's it.

Today I woke up earlier so I could run, however I ended up not having enough time to. I just did some of my requirements in the time that I had, and then I showered. After that I went to school and we didn't really do anything that interesting in math we just did a worksheet, in English we got put into pairs and had to read this really long boring text and summarize each part of it, in Sociology (which is my college class) we just took notes and did this activity about something called social location, and in History we just took notes. Something funny that happened though was there are these vending machines in the college building and this kid tried getting sour patch kids but it didn't work because the sour patch kids didn't fall and he just kept on trying and he ended up getting 4...

Only thing I don't like about getting up early is being tired at times I typically would be fully energized at. Woke up on the wrong side of 4:00am today, and passed out before 5:00pm . :/

Today was a busy day. First I woke up and ran then I went to school. After that I ran another mile then did my requirements. Then I ate a snack and did my homework. Finally I did my dance practice and then helped out with a class and got a mentee session in.

Today was the first day of school & I am ready to sleep today, finally. sleep is funny to me because your brain controls it but you rarely have any control. Control is something I like because of the feeling you get & the safety it supplies to people. that's why I love it.  

So today I went to school. Nothing much really happened at school. Then I went to King Tiger after school. I ate snack and played with some toys (at after school). Then I took a class and did a mentor session with instructor Jen. Then I came home did homework and my mom ordered pizza. Currently, I’m waiting for the pizza. That’s it byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee

Hi today I woke up and went to school and went to king tiger after school I did a mente seshon then I did a mentor sheshon I also did leadership then I went home now I'm wating for pizza. 

First day of school!  I spent much of the morning helping my kid get ready for their first day of school, so I didn't get done what I want.  and then the bus was over 20 minutes late, and traffic was rough getting to the office, so even during the day requirements work is out.  But today is a day without organized TKD, so I'll be able to do most of my requirements tonight.

Dropped the kids off for their first day of school this morning. I felt pretty energetic when I got back and had a nice run before knocking out my physical requirements. I still have to be careful of my neck, but I put the time in. We'll see how class goes tonight

Today I will be helping out with the lower belt class and maybe get a leadership credit, a mentor session, and a mentee session. I  really hope that i will get to help out with white belts again. 

Today started out pretty good. I was able to get some rest last night and watch some sports. My wife had us go to a skating event with my church and I’have not  been skating in years, so my shins were very sore for most of the day not to mention my skates were huge because I have ginormous feet This afternoon after church I came in and completed an essay for school, then I went on a walk with my kids for a bit. I’m really from there. I can put in my requirements and it was pretty much downhill for the rest of the evening because I have to work tonight

Today I got on a USATKD zoom meeting about nutrition for competition. I watched a little bit of my sisters' soccer game, went and ordered some new shoes and got a new swimsuit. I also replaced my sunglasses that I got in California that I proceeded to lose right afterwards. I worked on Double Stick 2. Hopefully I can make it look nice by the end of this week. Anyway, goodnight y'all!

August 24 - Entry #16 Today was one of my "off" days.. no school, no class, just a chill day. We woke up and went to Carowinds. We had express passes so we got to cut the lines and ride way more rides. We rode the Fury 325 first.. my mom was pretty nervous because she hasnt been on a roller-coaster in around 15-20 years. But, she toughed it out and did pretty good! Her and dad even rode most of the other rides with me and my sister. It started raining about 20 minutes before time for the park to close. But, we still had a lot of fun! It turned out to be a really good family day. Got some requirements in once we got home then showered and got ready for bed. Have a test tomorrow at school.. im kinda nervous. Not to mention its a Monday. 

Today we came home from Atlanta and I forgot to journal yesterday because we got to the hotel really late after the game. After we got home I chilled for a bit then went to my youth group and then I went to run. Then I finished an essay. Goodnight.

Today I woke up really late and went on a run. After I got home I got some food and finished some weekend homework for spanish. Then I did the rest on my requirements and watched a movie. Now im gonna go to bed. 

Today was my rest day! I slept in and had some leftovers for brunch. I started packing my school bag because my first day of school is tomorrow. Later I got ready to go to my friend’s birthday party. She is my childhood friend since I was a baby and these twins were also our friends like that, so it was just us. We were first at her house and then her mom took us all to birkdale. We didn’t really know what to do most of the time and just looked at stores and then left. We got dinner at a pizza place and we made funny jokes there so that was fun. It was till evening and then I came home and had a nice long shower and picked out my outfit and everything. I am pretty nervous for tomorrow since it’s my first day of high school. Mostly...

My day was good. After I went to church I went to my friend's birthday Party we went to Airsoft never held a BB gun in my life But I got  people out. I was aiming at someone else but the sniper (rifle)  bb Gun dude with his Camoflauge suit raised his hand up and walked to the exit so I am assuming i got him out so that's good. That was a pretty fun experience for my first time there. And then I went home did my exercises and I realaxed.

Today was a normal day. First I woke up and then I got ready because my dads friend was coming over and he had lunch with us. After he left I read a book for sometime and then I had music class. Finally after music class I went and played volleyball with my friends.

Today was spent doing prep work before school tmr. Folding clothes, cleaning, packing, etc. Im glad I took time to get ahead on things before school starts to hold me back from doing cycle requirements. 

I forgot to journal yesterday because we went to my sisters dance recital and after that we had dinner at our neighbors house so we got home pretty late and i forgot to do a journal. Anyways today i didnt really do much I just did my requirements also I rode my bike to get the mail and it was good weather outside. I also worked on a project for school. Then i played volleyball with my friends and came home and showered and ate dinner thats it byeee

Today I didn't really do much. What I basically did was do requirements basically all day, I got some homework done, and I got in my pool to relax a little. Today was a rather relaxation day.

today i woke up late and missed sparring. Instead, me and my mom rode around and spent the day hanging out. we talked for hours and then we went to Lunchbox records in charlotte. i bought 5 albums and then dropped off a gift at my girlfriends house. i came home and my mom made burgers for dinner. now im getting ready for school tomorrow.
