Candidate Journals

Today I had to leave school early for a doctor's appointment. This appointment was a follow up for a previous appointment that took place last November. The story behind this is that I was having trouble breathing during a lot of track and xc meets, so eventually we get around to mentioning this the doctor when i got my annual physical in the summer of last year where I was told I had exercise-induced asthma and then referred to a specialist. Then in November, the specialist said that he thought that the issue was with my vocal chords doing the opposite of what they were supposed to do (they were apparently contracting and restricting my oxygen intake when I inhale and releasing any air reservoir when I exhale). Today he ran a test that he couldn't run before due to lack of equipment the would measure the amount of a certain...

toady was a good day. first of all I had school. I had a biology test which was not that hard. then I had all my other classes. after school I had to go to my brothers soccer game which started at 4. after the game I went to sparring class. class was pretty fun as always. I went home then I had dinner. today was a pretty normal day.

I am writing this really quickly so excuase me if there are any spelling errors. So today was good, black belt cycle's good, I feel like I'm tired all the time, I need to go to bed. And by that I mean I flop onto the soft blatnket and fall asleep while pondering all the problems of the world.  flop. -ritika 

Today was peaceful it was cold in the morning, and hot in the afternoon like any other day. It is peaceful Everything was quite I got my requirements done. Only the accastional bus passing by. Well I got to got bye.   8/28/18

Today we had our second of 3 tennis matches of the week. We completely bombed this match. Nobody won, but that is also because we played a big public school, which is something that we never do. This caused a big disruption in our schedule, but that's okay. That is why the name of this journal is wow. We didn't expect to do that bad. We were really tired especially after our long match yesterday, so our coach gave us the practice off tomorrow so we can finish homework and rest up for Thursday's match. 

First class back after a week of recovering.  Feels great to be back training.

So busy at work. I really wish they would dedicate more "Assets" to patrol. Everything is specialized to the detriment of patrol. Well, Only nine more months to go. Katherine tested Saturday and and got her belt. Green Belt. YEah!

My sister visited from Idaho. Haven't seen her in an extremely long time. Had dinner with my mother and her husband. Grilled out and had a good time. (post dating for same log-in issues)

Okay so today was my first day of highschool. I didn't execpt so many people to be in on place. Okay so my homeroom is on the second floor and my classes revolve around this one stair well. Lets just say that it was a challenge to get up and down the stairs it felt like being in the center of a five mile long  traffic jam. My day was fun though but imagine my shock when I got to class at tae kwon do. More stairs alright got to run bye.

Today I did almost all my push ups and sit-ups with my dad the rest I did by myself. I had to read fro my summer reading challenge for school so that took up much of the day. Today me my mom and my dad all went to go get pedicures and the place went to was soo fancy. At the place they had a massage chair and it was very relaxing. Today I did 1 mile instead of the usual two. I hope every had a great Sunday and is ready to go back to school!

today was like any other day. it was a boring Monday, which all of my classes took forever. after school I had to do some homework. I had to study for a biology test tomorrow. I think it is going to be easy though. after some more time I had to go to my brothers football practice. it was all right. when  I came back home I had dinner. overall it was a fine day.

Finally feeling better.  Hopefully the weather doesn’t keep changing temperatures.  

Today was the first day of school! It wasn't over-the-top amazing, but it wasn't boring either. My classes seem pretty easygoing and fun, so far... Now that school has begun, I have to get into a new routine for my requirements.

Today was first day of school and it was good to see all my friends but classes not very exciting.  Plus, got homework on the first day. Yuk!  Was able to get a little of my Black Belt items in today and attended class and met with my mentor.  Starting my week as a white belt so I can check that off the list.  Late day and have to go get some rest because tomorrow is day number 2 of school.

busy day today with church and training related to the serving i do at the church with pre-school kids.  I also had to pack and get ready for school as tomorrow is my first day.  Today is my last day where I want have school work I have to figure out how to work in.  I was able to get most of my goals met today so that was good.

In school, I am researching about European foods. I am up to my neck in sauerkraut. I have two test tomorrow. the black belt cycle is going fine. I have to study. Today was a good day. I might go to black belt class tomorrow. and thats it, because i have to be quick and i'm exhausted.  buh bye. -Ritika

Today I had an early start because all of the schools began today, which means we had to leave earlier to reach in time. I am glad my school already started, because I am in a routine now for when to wake up each day. After school, we had a tennis match which ended at 8:00. I then had to come home, shower, eat dinner, and finish my homework. I stayed up kind of late to finish my homework, but I think I will be good for the rest of the week. 

I woke up for school, but could barely get myself out of bed. I was so tired that I was constantly falling asleep in class. I would doze off and right before I was asleep, I would wake myself up. I have my study hall first, so I took a nap after I did my homework. Tomorrow, I have a Civics and math quiz. The math is really easy for me. I am in math 2 honors, which is 10th grade math honors. I am in 9th grade. The civics quiz is just about vocabulary, which is also not that hard. 

Today I was planning to get up early and take my dog to Reedy Creek Park to walk the trails to get in some miles and then go to church, but I accidentally slept through my alarm since I couldn't get to sleep until 01:30 am because of how much I was coughing. It was too late to go to church, so my dad, my brother, and I still took my dog to the park to walk him through the trails, and he was quite excited at first until he walk went on and he became more and more tired. In the last .75mi. or so, it took quite a bit longer to walk due to how tried my dog was; we gave him plenty of water, we stayed hydrated, and everyone was happy with the walk.

I awaken this morning had a very good breakfast,  said our goodbyes to everyone and got on the highway returning home .  After driving over 500 miles I was asked to get off the road, hotel room and resume tomorrow.   We should be home tomorrow sometime.  

Nona (mother in law) is leaving Saturday to go back to Peru for a bit. Gonna miss her and I know Katherine and the boys will as well. She is so sweet. Testing should be fun on Friday. The boys are a go but I think Katherine will have to do make-up testing. She has to work until 6 (or later) on Fridays. I know she is disappointed. She has started getting into TKD lately and seems to be enjoying herself. She has been so supportive during the BB Cycle. She understands that it takes a large time commitment and that has prevented me from doing things with her or going places with her. 

I broke my toes last Sunday. They were very bruised and swollen, but they had gotten a lot better. Yesterday, I woke up and another bruise appeared, so we went to get them X-Rayed. They told us that I should take a week off of cheer, dance, and tae kwon do, but there is no possible way I can do that. If I have any down time whatsoever where I am not doing anything, I become a blob. I have to stay active to feel accomplished and feel productive. 

Today was exciting I went out with my family and we got ice cream. I finished all my homework and requirements plus the rest of my book. All in all very productive. Also so not ready for school tomorrow I have practice and a math test but I am ready

This is the last weekend before my school starts. What I'm least looking forward to is only being able to use string bags witch hurts your back and shoulders. Right after this I'm pretty sure we're going supply shopping for school. What makes me nervous is that I didn't go to open house so I don't know what any of my teachers are like, ones name is Ms/Mrs.BAREFOOT I'm not joking I swear. So it'll be hard not laughing at that name but I'm kind of exited.

Today I had a very fun day because my brother had his birthday party at Chuck E cheese. My cousin was here and he help me earn tickets at Chuck E cheese. Then tonight I got ready for school to start tomorrow.

This week is a pretty week because out of 5 days, I have 3 tennis matches. The games are on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, which means I won't make it to Black Belt Class this week, which is upsetting, and I will only be able to get a Leadership 1 on Wednesday and I hope that I get a Mentee Session too that day. Luckily I did the Pre-Cycle so I am pretty good on my requirements. 

Congestion and workouts are very hard.  Slow and long breaks from running out of breathe sooner than  expected.  Struggling but still pushing.

Today I went to black belt class and I saw something I thought I'd never see. Today in class I Ms.Evans thought class. So for those who don't know I have never seen here wear a belt, or teach class. The class was fun everything worked out. Hey gotta go bye.

Today is the last day of camp and the last day I have to do my mentee meeting. Today I also ran 2 miles with my mom whil my dad timed us. Today was the end of summer camp party and it was really fun. In black belt our teacher was extremely nice and I would her to teach all the classes I take. I hope everyone had the best Friday ever!

Today I helped with the Junior Tigers' makeup testing and in black belt class we had the Pre-Test, although we only did kicks and the physical portion, excluding the run. I enjoy helping with testing, and I think that on the Pre-Test I didn't do half bad and there is still definitely room for improvement. I just hope that my work will pay off on the Physical/Written test on the 15th of September (unless the date has changed) when I have to show improvement.

Today was pretty interesting we had a surprise physical test and I think I did well. But I was So not expecting it.  Any way other than that it was a pretty average day. Well that's all.

Today I was hoping to get more work done for the cycle than I did, but I definitely got plenty done in my classes. For example, in my AP U.S. History class, went through the first chapter in its entirety in one 45min class period; this was made somewhat simpler since we all had already done work that required us to read through the book first, there are only 6 people, including myself, in the class, and my teacher taught in a way that was very straight to the point, so everyone knew that we needed to make notes of all the separate points he was making. In my Physics class, we finished the chapter and started review for our first test, which is on Tuesday. Pretty much all of my other classes were just as busy and productive, and I quite like it to be that busy so that I...

Today was like all the others. Not to different, woke up and went to basketball and after went to go get a haircut. We stayed at that mall for a bit. Then after we went to eat and visit my grandmother. We talked and then came back home. That is all. See you next time. 

Today my family went to the aquarium and the first thing my brother did was go to the jellyfish section knowing I had gotten stung. Some were really small while some had tentacles a few feet long. There was even a area where you could touch some small ones that don't have strong stings. Funny enough I had seen one right before we went, it was translucent pink and small enough for me to grab. At first I thought it was a mushroom at first so I walked right up to it I even TOUCHED IT on the bell (top) before I realized it was moving. When I saw that I swam away as fast as I could. Over all the best part of the aquarium was the "power ride" or something it was a moving walk way under the shark tank and a few other exhibits. 

Today I helped out with the Junior Tiger's testing. There were a lot of helpers during this testing. It was fun helping and watching the little kids learning and enjoying Tae Kwon Do. Then I helped out in Family Class and later took Black Belt Class. In Black Belt, we kind of had our pre-test today, but only worked on kicks and physical requirements. Then I got home and finished my requirements. My sister is going to a birthday party this evening, so it will be a little quiet around the house then. I won't be going to class except one day this week because of tennis games. I am glad I have been able to juggle tennis, the cycle, and my homework. 

My family has recently started watching a tv show called Hell's Kitchen. It was made by Gordon Ramsay on may 30, 2005. It has had 15+ seasons and even a Australian season. In my opinion it's a really great show because of the drama, cliff hangers and how good most of the food looks. I also love how sometimes a team can do so good they have to help the other team to not getting a single pice of food out of the kitchen. This is why I think Hell's Kitchen is a amazing show and that you should watch it too.

Once again, today went pretty ordinarily. Practice was interesting, to say the least, with plenty of hill and speed work. Class went pretty well too, but there were some things like certain kicks or forms that I feel like I could and therefore should be better. They were just minor things that I messed up on, and I try to convince myself that it's ok to be human and make mistakes sometimes, and usually it kind of works and I'm fine until I actually make any kind of mistake, where I end up finding myself focusing on the fact that I messed up and almost nothing else. The problem is that I expect perfection of myself, and when I don't attain that standard of perfection, I end up being quite brutal with myself, and I say/think things to myself that I would never even consider saying to another person because of...

Today was open house at school. But besides that it was very uneventful, and calm. I went to black belt class today and I have nothing else to say bye.   Hey the dates are wrong on the journals in case this one gets messed up its 8/23/18

  Today my mentor was a different person but a friend of my real mentor. I had many questions for my mentor so I’m glad I got my questions answered today. For the most of the day I helped out with the little kids playing mini golf. Today was a long day because after my meeting I had sparring class. Even though today was a long day I still ran 2.32 miles. I hope everyone has a great day!

Today I woke up and did my requirements. After that I went to my grandparents house. Know I'm here having fun not much to report. Hope you had a fun day.

Today is a good day because it vis an Friday. fridays are always good days. All ofmy classes didn’t feel that long. Everyone felt like they heads good day. After school i did some homework. After that i went to. Black belt class. Black belt class was very good because masters Jolly w2as teaching it. Master Jolly is very nice and funny. After class i played football with my brother which was actually really fun. I am glad it is Friday.

This morning I was involved in a very long meeting!  As it normally goes what was established could have been done in a matter of minutes.   But I guess that's life.  Maybe I can get some requirements in today now that I've given my body a rest.

I hate that I had to miss TKD yesterday for the open house at the boys school. I really hate missing BB Class. I love it. Katherine tests tomorrow. I am so proud of her for her more regular appearances at King Tiger. I am debating whether to attend as a husband or to go in uniform to assist but I am leaning toward husband. I hate to miss any classes. I think in the 2 1/2 years of TKD that I have only missed about 4 classes. I love it so much and I so much appreciate the masters and instructors that so generously give their time to TKD. 

Going to have to double up on my journal entries again. I keep having trouble logging in. Anyway, on Thursday we had open house for the boys at Blythe Elementary. John is such a rock star at this school. Everyone knows him. Well, at least the ones that know him just treat him as a friend and nothing is out of the ordinary. I am afraid that he notices when others who don't stare at him. I  cannot blame them because his stature is unusual. Makes me worry about the future. But once people meet him and interact with him everything is normal. They just see him as a friend and just as another kid.

Today was basically what I do everyday. I woke up, did my requirements and worked on my essays. But today I also had open house for me and my brother. I got all my teachers and classes that I wanted. I really liked all the teachers and can not wait to start the school year. My brother was also pleased with the teachers he got. After that we went to go eat. Then we hanged out with our friends and had a good time. That is where we stop for today. See you next time.

Today I was stung by a jellyfish, I couldn't see in the dark murky water. I got stung while messing around with my uncle a little bit out from shore. I don't know what type I was stung by but it HURT BAD for about 45 minutes to a hour. After that it just was really sore and super red. Tomorrow were going to the aquarium so I might be able to figure out what stung me. So, until tomorrow.

Today was the last day of summer camp i have been working all summer there helping out with all the kids. I start school next week which wont be very fun.

Today I went to school and then when I got home, I realized that I had absolutely no homework. I decided that I will do some requirements so that I can finish earlier. That was pretty much my day and I hope I have more to write about tomorrow. 

I thought school could not get more boring but 8th grade wow. I get it school teachers need to teach us but I know all this stuff. Anyway I’m complaining today was good and I am ready for next week.

My day went simply enough. I woke up, went back to sleep, woke up again, changed into my school uniform, and went downstairs for breakfast. I paid attention (or at least I tried) in my classes. Then I went to Robotics after school. Then I got picked up, I did my requirements, changed into my tae kwon do uniform, and went there. Then I did my algebra homework and helped out with a class. Then I attended black belt class. After that, I was an awesome cheerleader for grace, and she excelled in her poomsae all because of me. Not because of natural talent, or practice or anything like that. TOTALLY. Then I went home, took a shower, fed my guinea pig, ate dinner, and am now typing this. I'm going to go brush and floss and go to bed.  If you want me to cheer during your poomsaes, call 704-769-CHEER...

Today was the first time I helped with the adult class at the North Charlotte location. The class is a lot smaller than the classes I'm used to, which makes it easier to help individuals. It's been a while since I helped out with a class, and I forgot how much I enjoy it.

Todxay was a very tiring day. All my classes felt very long today. It was so boring. After school I went to cross country. We ran so much. It was very tiring. After school i watched. Some of my brothers soccer game. They lost 5-0. It is a new team and i think they can get better. After that I went to king tiger to do sparring class. Sparring class is always tiring. What’s a day!!!

Today felt so short I really do not know why. As always I do my daily requirements and work on my essays. After that I chilled and invited someone over. We talk for a bit and then ate lunch. After that I had a yearly eye exam. I got that done pretty quick and then went and ate dinner. Then I played some C.O.D ( Call of Duty ) with my brother and here we are now. See you next time.

Today went pretty ordinarily, but cross country practice was definitely interesting. Yesterday, my coach told us that we were going to use the weight room from 3:30 until 4:00. So my team mates and I are waiting in the hallway waiting for my coach to get there since we are not allowed to use the weight room without a coach or some kind of supervision present for safety reasons. 3:20 and then 3:25 roll around and Coach isn't there. We are used to our coaches running late since they have other jobs. 3:30 come around, and we decide that since others are already in the weight room and since someone volunteered to supervise until our coach get there, it should be fine to do our warmups and ladder drills until one of our coaches get there. We ended up doing this for half of the time that we could be in...

After i woke up i had less morning exercise for Tae Kwan do because i did lots of things for it yesterday. Then after that i drank milk and after some time i went to take bath and after that i did my English and math for 2 hours and then my mom and i ate lunch then i watched the movie A.X.L on a link. It was a great movie and after that there was a thing in Indian religion that you do something before marriage so we went for that and ate dinner and when the party was over we went home and watched some TV and went to sleep.

today was a awsome day because I went to the movies and got m&m's.after that we went back to tae kwon do and did class.then my mom picked me up and took me to open house it was great.

Today me and Ms. Melissa put up snipe signs for the King Tiger after school program which was fun and then I leaned hopkido form 4 during my mentor session with Master Cavasos.           

Today was pretty boring because I worked on my AP project all day. Also im tired from waking up earlier than usual.

Today we had our first tennis match of the season. Since the match is played with 6 singles and 3 doubles, you just have to win 5 out of the 6 singles to win the entire match. This is exactly what happened to us. Since we won the match already, the coach decided to allow everyone to play, so the top players didn't have to play doubles. I am glad that we won, because it was our first win of the season.

I began my day eating a little more than needed.   My wife also talked me into going shopping (something that I really love).????????We had a very nice riverboat dinner cruise on the Mississippi river that began at 6:00pm and ended at night.  Back to hotel, ready for bed.  

today was a great day because I went to mini golf with my friends after that I did the laser vortex with my friend cohen. We ranked second place on the leaderboard.

Today I did 1.66 miles with my mom. We went to my favorite restaurant McDonalds. After we got to the restaurant my dad came and picked us up to go home. At camp in sparring class we played a card game were we would grab a card then do as many kicks the card says. Our team won and we didn’t have to do any extra workouts. I hope everyone had a great Tuesday!

Today I meet with my mentee to help him get his orange stripe. Also I had my meet the teacher school day today and got to meet all my teachers and introduce myself. Today I felt a little dizzy at camp so I left early. Right now I feel sick and extremely cold when it’s normal temperature for my mom. Even though I feel sick it will not stop me from working out. I hope everyone had a great Wednesday!

Took off today so the wife could get some important things done like open school.  Decided to work on my requirements today.  Numbers look good so far but the day still young.  Maybe this will drive the last little bit of my congestion out.

I woke up this morning with a dry mouth. After I gargled hot water and drank hot coffee, I felt better. Then I ate breakfast and helped my dad clean out some of the remnants of the paint job (paint cans, tools, etc.). I took a shower and go started on my project again. After I took a break for lunch, I continued, until it was time for my open house. Open house was pretty simple because I already know most of my teachers. After that, I went to a mini celebration for completing my summer volunteering at the University Library. I came home and got back on the project.

I had a normal day today: I went to school, had electives, then science, social studies, ELA, and finally math. When I came home I took a bath and did my daily ritual and then did all my physical requirements including poomsaes and self defenses. After that I went to Tae Kwon Do which leads me to where I am now. Also, though I've tried everything, I am not able to figure out how to log my daily requirements, so if someone would aid me I would really appreciate it.

A lot going on today.  I had to go get my school schedule early this morning.  Then had to go back out so my brother could get his school schedule. Attended TKD class today and then off to a school event to finish out the day.  Felt like I was on the go all day and having a hard time reaching my goals.  I am wondering when school starts how I will continue the pace of reaching my goals.

Today was like any other. I woke up, ate and did my requirements. After that I finished a essay and also did some reading. Then I rode around the neighborhood with my brother and also talked with my friends. After that I had lunch and then went to get shots for 7th grade. Right after we headed to TKD. I helped out and took a class. I also took sparring today and had a bunch of fun doing it as well. That was all I did today. See you next time. 

After i woke up i did my exercise for my black belt cycle and i did a lot of it. After i finished it i ate my breakfast and i did khan academy and reading for 2 hours. Then my mom and i ate my lunch and i watched my left over of transformers the last knights movie and watched the movie the meg. Then i went for tennis at 6:00 to 7:00 and went straight to Tae Kwan do for my weekday black belt class. After coming home fro there i ate my dinner and watched on the TV with my family and went upstairs to our beds and my family and i went to sleep.

after i woke up i did my exercise and then went to eat breakfast and after some time i went to take bath. After i take bath i talked to my grandpa and my grandma and their parents. Then my mom and i ate lunch and i watched a movie called Sherlock gnomes and after that i watched part of transformers The Last Knights until i had to go my schools open house. Then on our way back i was already late for swimming and luckily i brought my swimming bag before we left for my schools open house. So i changed my dress in the car went to class and came back home and ate dinner and watched some TV and my family and i went to our beds to sleep

This week had been super busy. I started school and it’s been a lot with soccer. But I am keeping up with my requirements and I am going to finish this cycle. I am so excited to get my new belt and know I worked for it .

Today in gym we did dodgeball. And if you got hit, you did 10 sit-ups and got back in the game. I got out 11 times. I got all of my sit-ups finished. So if you're doing the black belt cycle and you're bad at dodgeball, that's a tip for you. I did class today, then met up with my mentee Brianna. I am tired and I need to do my algebra homework. I'm really glad that P.E. doesn't grade us on athleticism, for all us hopeless non athletic blobs out there. I bid you good day, citizens of Ritikatown. -Ritika  

Today I woke up and did my requirements. After that I had to go with my mom to a couple of different stores. After that I went to the barbershop for a haircut. I was almost late to class, and made it just in time. Now I'm here hey got to run bye.   Hey The dates on the cite are wrong. That is why the date on this post is eithar wrong or my past ones are on 8/22/18

Today I got to sleep in just a tad bit. Then I went to school, as normal, then went to tennis practice. At tennis practice, we mainly worked on doubles for our match tomorrow. We got the line-up for tomorrow's match. From there I went to the Library for a volunteer celebration. That was my pretty basic day

Notes, notes, NOTES! Today I woke up to my dad telling me to take out the window meshes because my parents got some people to pressure wash the sides of our house. To get the windows, the mesh needed to be taken out. Half asleep, I fumbled with the notches on the corners of the meshes (some were missing, so I had to use plier to move the nail). When I finished that, I went and brushed my teeth, ate breakfast, then took a shower. After that was time to get working on my summer project. I thought I'd finished the notes yesterday, but it turns out that there was actually more! So I spent most of my day (from 11:30 to 6:00, with a 45 minute lunch break) sitting an taking notes. It got even slower when I had to go upstairs and use my lap and the arm of a...

My family going to the beach on Tuesday since we haven't gone all summer. We go every year but it's random every time.

Today is the first day that I ran a mile with me, my mom and my dad. It was fun to run with my family. Today was very different because after the empathy training I don’t talk a lot because I still feel like I shouldn’t talk. Today I met with my mentee and we mainly focused on sparring combinations. Looking forward to sparring class tomorrow. I almost have all my leadership 2 credit done and it feels good to accomplish something. I hope everyone has a great Monday!

Toady was a pretty normal day. I went to school in the morning. School was pretty good. Today I finally got my fine art. A fine art in my school is band, choir, art, photography, etc... my fine artery was acrylic painting. Acrylic painting is the only fine art I can do with my shedule. It is ok because the teacher is nice and the kids that are in the class are are in that class because it is the only class they can do to fit their schedule jus like me. When. I came back home I did some homework I. I had to study for a geometry quiz tomorrow. After some3 time I went to king tiger to Help out a class and take sparring. Sparring is pretty fun. Well that is all I did today.

I had 

New trainee making good progress at work learning the job.  He a recreational youth basketball coach and I enjoy hearing how he is engaged with the kids on his basketball team.

Today so far is a really good day. I took a math quiz which was really easy. I also took a literature quiz which I got a 95. Later today I had a free block. At free b l,oak we played basketball. Today I played better than I usually do. It was reallyu fun because we played knockout.

I had a fun day today because I went to the splash park and had lots of fun with my friends.after that I went back to tae kwon do and had lots of fun.

Today i made a new song that goes like king kong on and on .

I began the morning with a big breakfast.  Welcomed a lot of people still arriving for our Wolfhound reunion.  

Because my classes are spread throughout the campus of UNC Charlotte, I am able to record the distance I walk as part of my cycle. Today's distance was 1.81 miles, but this was because of an unoptimize d route. Once I optimize my route to my classes, my distance will decrease. I'll make up for this as I train to run 4 miles in 40 minutes, a requirement for my physical test.

So, I don't have much time. My  entries are probably going to be shorter since I have a lot to do since school started. For starters, I still have to finish my algebra homework, and write half a page on survival. My first impression with my math teacher was wrong, she was actually pretty nice. My impression with my art teacher didn't change, she's still kind of confusing. I'll get it eventually. Today we did the sit ups and pushups test. I did 40 sit-ups and 28 push-ups in a minute. But compared to King Tiger standards, that's kind of lame. I'll have to work on that. Luci was with me, since she goes to my school, and we did the test together. She beat me in sit-ups by five, but I beat her in pushups by 10. It's nice to have a friend who understands Tae Kwon Do. I think...

Today I went to sparring class and black belt. My day went as I expected. When I got home which is now I jumped on this so I got no ideas. Hope you enjoyed got to run.

Today, we completed our trip to Davenport.   It was even a fun trip.  I was very tired when we arrived though.   Checked in to hotel, went to a restaurant to eat and then back to the room for rest.  

The day started at 06:00 when I had to get ready quite quickly so that I could take care of what I needed to and then go to my neighbor's house to take care of her dogs since I am dog sitting them while she is away. I decided to not count this as an act of kindness because of the fact that I get paid to do this. This morning I also had to correct my class schedule since I was put in the wrong math class. After that my day went pretty ordinarily, and in practice my coach had us run 3.5 miles at the pace we would run in racing 3.1 miles. We then did another mile's worth of speed/hill work and a cool down. After practice my mom picked me up and brought me directly to King Tiger North Charlotte so I could help with the color...

Today I went to the pool, but let me backtrack. I woke up around 10:00,  after getting situated I did my requirements. The day before I had decided today I would head to the pool. I waited for most of the clouds to clear then I went to the pool. When I got there this lady was the guard and let me tell you this, so that you know they aren't life guards there just there to check everybodys age. She waited until I was halfway in the water then she called me over. She said that I was to young and gave me a paplet and sent me home. Hey got to go bye.

Today, we arrived in Iowa.  It was a fun trip.  Now is the time to embellish war stories with the rest of our vets here.

today after i woke up i did my exercise i worked on updating my progress online. Then after that i took bath and ate breakfast. After eating breakfast i did some math on khan academy and some reading by reading a book in total of 2 hours. Then i ate my lunch and watched TV until my sister came home. Then at 6:00 i got ready for swimming class and went and came back.when i came back i was so tired so i ate dinner and watched some TV with my family and we all went to our bed and went to sleep and get rest because school is starting next week Monday for me So i got to wake up very early when it starts to do my Tae Kwan do exercise.

after waking up i had to do my morning exercise. Then after that i had ate breakfast and went to bath after sometime i ate my lunch and watched Lego ninja-go season 9. Then i searched and i found a link to watch free new movies.i was going to watch a movie on but then my mom told me to stop when my dad came and my dad came. Then i offed it and got ready to go to my Tae Kwan do class for leadership 1. Then after that i understood that you can get only one leadership for a day. So i did some jump rope. Then i got my black belt class sight fir weekdays. Then i went home and ate dinner and watched some TV and my whole family went up and went to sleep

Worked on one of my essays today about role model.  I am really enjoying writing this one. Today is much like yesterday as I am trying to keep up with all my activities.  It was good to go to the ribbon cutting at the new High School property.  It is really cool and look forward to the new building.  I saw a lot of my friends there which I was happy about.  

Today i went and got my parking pass for school. This is the first year I will be able to drive to school. Today in class we worked on Hopkido form 1 and other things we can add to it. 

Had it not been the owners of the North Charlotte location, I would not have been able to test on this cycle. I am a third dan, and it has not been three years since I've gotten my belt. However, I was given special permission to join this cycle and the next cycle so that I have a chance to get a fourth dan before I leave for college. I know I've said it before, and I will say it again, but I want to thank Master and Mrs. Evins for giving me this opportunity. 

Today was a fun day because I went to Nevins splash park and played with my friends. After that we went to the park and played. Then we went back to tae kwon do and got changed for class. A couple hours later I did sparring class and got lots of sparring rounds in.

Last day off and then work 7 straight. Workouts done. Toe is a little better. Didn't effect my run although I got my run in yesterday before hurting my toe so I was a bit worried. Made kicking difficult and painful yesterday. Took Michael to the orthodontist this morning. Mooresville sure is a haul. First time with this Dr but I liked him and the facility. Extremely modern. And he earned my trust by suggesting some cost free steps before moving onto orthodontic work for him. Sure hope this works because nothing is cheat about orthodontic procedures. Believe it or not the fix involves a tongue depressor and and 10 minutes four times a day. Going to finish my book essay while the boys are playing in the basement.

Today started off basically the same as yesterday, but I had to wake up 15 minutes earlier. When I got to tennis practice, we got our uniforms. I'm glad I got the size I want and not a really big size. Then I quickly finished my homework so I could go to class and get some requirements done. That was basically my day. Hopefully tomorrow is a little bit more interesting

Okay, let me start by saying that another day I wrote a journal 5 but that wasn't supposed to be published.. don't know when it was published but I saw it while scrolling through the blog entries and I immediately freaked out. So... that was kind of/really embarrassing. So just... you know... forget about that. MOVING ON!! Today is the first official day of the black belt cycle and sparring class today was really quiet. There wasn't a lot of people there. I also really wish I could've helped out at Master Richie's, but yesterday I found out that I couldn't go. I just hope they're okay. Also, school is starting this Wednesday or Thursday. So... yeah. Ugh. School. I got my schedule yesterday and I was partly excited because when the school year starts I'll see all my friends, partly disappointed because school... and open house is Monday! I usually write...
