Candidate Journals

Wasss up peepers so today was jammy whammy together first x country practice then I get home and have to do a but of homework(exaggerating) but point is then I  had hard time and had to rush through black belt.  

The first day of school was the best ever. My teachers are awesome and I would love to tell you about them. I am going to tell you what I did first then I will tell you about my teachers. Today was a bit crazy since it is the first day and everyone was trying to get to class before the bell rang. I got to my home room teacher and sat at a seat. The cool thing is she had pillows on the floor that we could sit on. Also she had some yoga mats that you could also sit on and it was pretty cool if you ask me. Anyways we also can eat a snack whenever we want during class time. That is awesome because if you get hungry you can have a little snack before you eat lunch. Also my home room teacher teaches my two favorite...

Today was the first day of the new school year.  I met up with some old friends but also met some new ones.  My teachers are all very nice.

Today since most schools started, there was a lot of traffic to get to my school. Since today started the first real week of school, there was a lot of homework that was given.

Today when I woke up I had my coffee, then I worked out for a good two hours after doing some homework, I also ate some tacos and watched some netflix/youtube. right now I am getting ready for work.

Yesterday, I went out with my father to help him with his job as a D.J. We were gone for hours, and when we came back home it was well past 10:30. I lost a lot of time that I could have used to do requirements, but he gave me that time back today. Thanks to that, I was able to do extra requirements today.

     Today is the lat day of Summer. School will be starting tomorrow for me and my sister. She is in Elementary and her school starts at 7:15 am, while I'm in Middle School and my school starts at 8:45 am. Today I had something called CROP, which is this thing that teaches Hinduism for kids at a Hindu Temple. It for about 2 hours and its every other Sunday. We also had to do a little shopping for our new apartment. For those of you who don't know I've moved to an apartment until my new house is built in Waxhaw, NC. Its about 45 mins from the North Charlotte location. After this testing I will have to quit Tae Kwon Do at King Tiger.  :(  :(  :(

This morning I woke up and had breakfast. Then I brushed my teeth and played with my brother. After that we went to Target. My brother saw his best friend there. When we got back my mom and brother went to Music and Arts while I played with my legos. I made a squeeze claw grabber. After that I made things for a zip line but there was no good string. Then my dad found really good string and we made lots of zip lines. I made the patrekanator and other zip line toys. It was a lot of fun. When they got back I did some of my physical requirements. After that we ate dinner and went through our school stuff and I ended my day.

So to day we had to clip my dogs toe nails because they were getting to long. he started making weird noises like mm-mm and inn. so we gave him a break then attacked him again

Today I woke up and went to a winery with my family because thats were my dad and stepmom are getting married. then we went to sauzas and had terrible service and like an hour for our food even though there was only a few people. thenI went home and took a shower.

Today I did my empathy training assignment. I've decided not to use my left arm and hand. It was going pretty well. Then came the saga of the one handed woman and the spider. While doing sit ups, I noticed a huge spider on the ceiling. Now, I am not afraid of spiders and am not opposed to them living inconspicuous lives n the remote corners of my home, but the ceiling is another matter. It would freak me out if the spider falls in my hair. With my thick natural, there would be no way to get it out and I did not relish the thought of shaving my head to get a spider out of my hair. I did not want to kill it, just relocate it outdoors.   I got a broom with the idea of knocking it to the floor, then scooping it up and tossing it outside....

Today was my last day before I have to finish my last year of high school and I'm excited to go to school and finish it but I don't want to wake up at 5:30. I had a nice relaxing day I played some video games with my friends online and my family went to Cowfish for my Dad's birthday dinner and it was delicious. Later we are going to watch Fear the Walking Dead and then I am going to bed early so I can get extra sleep.

Today is the last day of non-school-y-ness. Me and my brother spent the day walking around the house playing computer and doing other stuff. So school starts tomorrow and I am really not looking forward to it. Dad says he thinks I am. To be honest the reason I'm so annoyed is cause for the past week I've fallen asleep, slept for look two hours, then waken up and not been able to fall back to sleep. When I wake up I just sit up, walk around the house, lay in bed, and not fall asleep. I do not know what's causing it.   

today I am going to kohls with my mom sister and brother. Then we are going to smoothies king to get some smoothies. I don't know which one I want though. Then we are going to eat outside for dinner.

I took sparring and black belt class. It was hard. When I got back home I had lunch and started cleaning. We cleaned for a long time and my dad got Carrabas while I played my video games for a while. Then I watched a movie and ended my day.  

Today I started to get really good at throwing knives. I have three, well now two, throwing knives. I lost one throwing it as hard as I could towards my target. I missed and it bounced somewhere but I have no idea where it went. It's in the garage somewhere. I still have the other two. I throw into a cardboard box I used as a project a couple years ago in school. It's called my Mobus Tubus. I am really good at doing a one and a half spin throw. That's when you hold the knife by the blade and throw it with a flick in the wrist to where it spins one and a half times and sticks in the target with the blade. There is also a one spin throw, half spin throw, and no spin throw. I'm not really good and i haven't tried half spin or one...

Today is Saturday and I got up at 8 and ate my bowl of fruity pebbles then went to help out the hartles. Which was exhausting but I still had black belt class.

Last night was so fun that I cannot stop thinking about it. Last night we went to Black Belt class. I did a lot of poomsaes and some self defense. We did red and high red poomsae and self defense. We also did 1 poom poomsae and self defense. Then we did some staff forms. I learned the staff form number two last night. It was a fun form and I really enjoyed it. The next thing we did was watch the movie Pete's Dragon. It was a very good movie and it made my Dad think about when he was little. It made me feel happy that he enjoyed the movie. Yesterday was fun and I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you for reading and have a good day.

Today in black belt class we did a lot of weapon forms. We also did some self defense. The weapon forms we worked a lot on were staff and stick forms. Towards the end, we worked on Bolo form 1. There was only one first Dan that knew it. I am glad I got to learn the first part of it.

Worked on turning kicks today as well as sparring combinations. Still get a little shaky 13/14 and on. I seem to get discombobulated once the turning begins. Part is technique, but part is just me. I get turned around driving around a round about intersection. I get dizzy at action movies if I sit too close to the screen.  Regardless, I keep plugging away at it.  Love my Tuscan blue Rosemary shrub I got for the cycle. It smells wonderful. After the cycle, I'll trim a few sprigs for baked Rosemary Chicken

I have a feeling that Aaron is going to have a lot of  fun this year. My teacher was also very nice and she is teaching me my two favorite subjects, Math and Science. I also have another teacher that is going to teach me Reading and Social Studies. It looks like I am going to have a lot work to do in 5th grade.

Yesterday, I only had two classes; history and engineering. Today, I had three classes. Those classes were seminar, math and engineering again. All of my classes are in different buildings, so it was difficult to learn where all of the buildings were. The teachers excused late students because of this, but this will change next week. I'm starting to get homework in my classes, so doing requirements is going to be a little interesting from here on.

Today I went to open house, and saw all my friends so that was cool. I finished all of my requirements for today and I have a lot of friends in my homeroom. That's awesome!!!!!

There is this really cool video game called Undertale. You play as a person that falls down a hole and ends up in The Underground. Right after you get into The Underground there is a yellow flower that talks to you and ends up trying to kill you. Then a friendlier, nicer monster shows up and starts calling you 'my child'. There are three paths in Undertale. The genocide route, the pacifist route and the neutral route. The Genocide route is about murdering everyone. The Pacifist route is about keeping everyone alive and getting back to the surface because monsters are trapped in the Underground unless a human saves them. The Neutral route is where you kill some people and don't kill others. My favorite character is Sans the skeleton, sometimes know as Sans the Comic. His little brother Papyrus is actually a lot taller than him cause Sans is really...

Today was blues stripe week which is sparring combinations so we did a lot of drills that combined the stripes. When I helped out, there were two people that were testing so we watched them. One still needed help so I helped hime. He did pretty good, but I think he got nervous so he forgot some.

Hopefully these will last tomorrow and the days after. I also have a new phone, so I will be able to track how far I travel at school and not round down to two miles every day.

Today I got my haircut and it's a nice fresh cut. My hair feels really spiky. I watched the movie barbershop the next cut. That movie was funny. And tomorrow is my open house.

So we just walked down to the pool. We haven't been for a couple months. We haven't gone much this summer. When we got there, we see one or two other families just sitting there so I figured it was adult swim. But actually someone had just thrown up in the pool. So we have to wait two hours before we can swim. I'm fine going back to swim in two hours cause it will be clean by then. So instead we came home and wrote my journal!

Yesterday, the 22nd was rough. My shoulder has been hurting for the past couple of days which has made it hard to fill out my requirements. My mom and Master Chelley have both said to take a couple days off, but I really don't want to fall behind. I'm already behind on some stuff too which is stressing me out even more. 

Surprise - - Surprise - -I can move and walk.  Hip flexors talking but happy I can move.  Thank you Master Moon :).

Today I got my new skull essay Don and got my school schedule in the mail!! A lot of my friends ate in my homeroom. And I got my plant a few days ago so that's good.

Have you seen Good Mythical Morning? It is a YouTube show by Rhett and Link. They also do a lot of music videos. They do all sorts of challenges and games. They have guests and one time for a song they even had Markaplier. With him, the song was about Five Night at Freddy's. Markaplier was the phone guy but he had a bigger part. In my opinion, I like Link better. I don't know why. I just do. My favorite music video that they've done is between the one I mentioned above and The Rap Battle of Manliness. They are lots of fun. I recommend you check them out. 

Today was my third day of school. I am just glad they have finished explaining the rules because that is always very boring. My school got a new entrance which is always backed up so I hardly get there on time. Since school statuettes, I have been having difficulty jounalibg, but I think I can finish.

Today, i relaxed from my boy scout canoeing trip. We canoed 16 miles. Well, the rest of the day i played with my ffriend and we did some things at my house.

When we got back we took class and had snack. After that we got to play tiger ball. Then I took hyper. After that I went home and ended my day.

Over the weekend, my phone shut off unexpectedly and wouldn't turn back on. Because of this, I am not able to reliably track the distance I am traveling at school. I know that I have walked at least two miles because of the buildings I walked to, but I know that I walked more, and I would've liked to count that distance.

Great BB class tonight!!!  Master Moon nooooooo my body does not stretch that far or bend that way.  Think walking might be a bit of a challenge tomorrow but it's all good - -very good.

Today I stayed with my grandma so I got to help her with stuff around the house.  I also played a song on my guitar for my grandma.

Today I could finally do push-ups again but I am sad because its the 3rd full day of school and we already have homework.

After getting my laptop for the school year and doing my physical requirements  I  invited my  best friend to come over and we had fun doing stuff together and I would like to talk about it. The first thing we did was tell each other what we did this summer. After that I showed her some new stuff I got this summer then we  played some video games. Then we shot some hoops on my new in door basket ball hoop. It is very cool and fun. Anyways we had fun and I really in enjoyed it.Then we chilled around and watched some youtube videos. After she had to go home to get ready for her soccer practice. The fun may be done  but I still have one more thing that I need to tell you. At dinner my Mom made the best dish that I have ever had and I...

Today I woke up went to tae kwon do we then played on the big mat then went to the park and had lunch then we went  back and took class then ate snack and then I went ona run.  

Today I went to my grandmothers house. Later I went to King Tiger and did my requirements and had class. When I got home I made cookies and had a soda. That was my day who was yours?

Today I did my empathy training and went blind. My mom tied a bandanna around my eyes when I woke up this morning. She and my dad have been helping me through my day. Some parts of the day were a lot harder to do, such as eating, doing requirements and doing requirements. I was able to navigate through my house with relative ease, but only because I knew where everything was.

The last couple of days were really crazy. I had family down on Friday and Saturday which caused me to have trouble logging on... But know everything has calmed down and I am keeping on with my schedule and moving forward to the next school year...

     Today my dad made me wake up around 5:45 am. My dad wants me to get ready when school starts, because I have to get ready when school starts. Because my dad wants me to get ready when school, because I have to run in the morning and my school is pretty far from were I am staying. My neighbor also came for Brunch, we had some Indian food. Typical right. I also had Scuba Diving today. It was just practice at a pool, but sometime during October we will be going on a trip to a man-made lake in Virginia. So yeah, that's all for today.

  Today I woke up and had breakfast. I couldn't talk because I did my mute day. My mom ran outside and my dad ran on the treadmill downstairs so I went downstairs. I played with some stuff down there then I ran after my dad. After that I ate lunch and played some video games. Then we went to Target and Petsmart. When we got back I folded my clothes and had dinner. After that I finished my physical requirements and watched the ending ceremony for the Olympics and ended my day.  

Today I woke up and me and my mom had to bring her roommate to work.  Then we went to gastonia which took some time, we were trying to find a kmart but instead we had to go to the kmart in concord.

I found a game on the App store called Flip Diving. It's really cool and 3D and there are tons of cool tricks and divers you can use. I find it cool because it is easy to pick up and binge play. I'm playing it right now and I find it just amazing. Also if you hit on something when you're diving you just go ragdoll which is really funny when your diving. There are four different heights on the first level you dive from. If you hold you will get different angles you can dive at. On the very top I like jumping staright up then hitting the platform again as I come down which won't kill you. If you touch the platform with anything other than you feet you will go ragdoll. Anyway that's Flip Diving...on the app store now. 

today and yesterday I couldn't do push ups because i sprained my wrist bit know i think i sprained my stomach from all the sit ups I did instead of push-ups. 

Today I got my cypress tree. I also finished cleaning my fish tank and had my fish put back in to the tank. I later did my requirements. 

The Sparring seminar was fun and I learned alot during it. Here are some of the thing that we did at them seminar. The first thing we did there where some warm ups. The warm ups worked on speed and moving out of the way when someone is kicking you. After  the warm up we did some kicking combos. Some went like this, cut kick, cut kick, kick to the head, turning side. After a half hour of that we went into sparring a person. Everyone got their gear and then we got paired. Everyone sparred and did well and every one worked very hard. Eveyone did their best.  I had so much fun I would like to do it again. Plus I love the location and I am happy that I got to go. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a nice day :] ;]. 

Today I got my cypress plant and it is pretty cool. My brother is going to a friends birthday party at 5 and that gives me a little time alone.

Today I woke up early and did some of my physical requirements. Then I went to Black Belt World Still Creek. There Grand Master Cann gave us tips on how to spar and we sparred. We practiced our kicks then I went home. I ate lunch and did some more physical requirements and my parents went on a date for there anniversary and my grandparents came over. I played on the Xbox and on my ipod. After that I went down stairs and ran a mile. Then I watched a movie and ended my day.

Today was the sparring seminar that I paid $45 for. It was definitely worth the money, as I learned a new way to spar and learned about some techniques I should practice. I also had fun learning learning the techniques with my friends from the North Charlotte, along with new friends from other locations. I honestly expected more people to show up from North Charlotte, but the class was still fairy large nonetheless. 

Today was fun first I went to Grand Master cans for a seminar. then went to my grand parents for my great grandparents birthday.

Today I went to my cousins lake Birthday party then went to the mall went home finished some essays did my requirments and Im going to eat.  

I was looking back on my journal entries and realized that I started the Black Belt Cycle journey about one year ago. I audited the first cycle and dropped the second cycle. Third time's a charm. This is it! I will complete this cycle. Got some requirements done this morning and spent the rest of the day doing some home repairs. 

Today I went to the sparring camp at black belt world. I did drills and sparred. When I got home my mom, my dad, and I cleaned the fish tank and put water in it. This was my day. What was yours?

So my dad and I play a game with a couple sets of bows and arrows. The arrows are padded. It's not a real set. We both have a bow and there a three arrows total. We each have a side and we shoot at each other trying to hit each other. I haven't been using the bow the last couple of times. Instead I have just been dodging when my dad shoots at me. He got me once. And we played for about 45 minutes. Anyway that's the arrow game.
