Candidate Journals

     Once a year at my school, there is something called Donuts For Dad. It is when you bring your father to school early for a donut and juice. There is something also called Muffins with Mom and it the same thing, but just with muffins. When I went to Language Arts there was a sub. She was trying to get the door open, but it didn't work. She finally got it to open after about 7 minutes. At my school we have something called Power Hour. It is for 1 hour and we have our lunches during that time. Also clubs take place during that time. Well everyone was required to choose a club. The clubs were cheesy, like a bird watching club. I ended up choosing a bean bag toss club. Weird right.

All most forgot to journal ... okay whats going on in my life ... hmm.... You know what i wish I was better at, comforting, some I know was really upset today, I did my best to help her, but i really couldn't help much. It wan't until someone else step in that she felt better. I hope I can get better at that, i hate seeing someone being upset

     Today I had to bring candy for a cell diagram. My science teacher told my class that we are making a cell diagram out of candy. A friend and me are working together on a plant cell diagram. I also had a test during science. It was what has been taught so far. It is not a Mid-Term though.       I usually wake around 5:45 am to run and it is hard to stop. Ever since school started till the end of the black belt test I have been waking 5:45 and since the test is over I don't need to wake up that early.

Today I had my first official high school swim practice. I was not prepared because I have not swam since about mid July. But I will eventually get back in swimming shape.

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another. Napoleon Hill My friend asked me why i was doing push-ups in the hall last week, so i told her "I have to a 100 push-ups a day". She laugh and said "Courtney that's easy, you can do half of that in the morning." I looked at her, this is the girl who tells me she doesn't have time to eat breakfast in the morning, or doesn't have time to do homework. I was kind of offended, why was she belittling my work. I mean I not saying 100 push ups is really hard, because it's doable, but it is not easy. But I laughed it off "I guess I just don't have time" I told her. I did not want to start nothing over a silly comment i...

so today I went to school and I had a pretty good day at school and I cant wait for this tea ceremony on Friday.

Today the Panthers play on Monday Night Football and I am currently watching them and they are winning 3-0, I really want to go but I am going to watch the Hornets play tomorrow night.

my day was pretty good i woke up then i did alot iof stuff then i went to school and that was fine after that i got picked up to go to tae kwon do and i did homework and class there. then we got home and did more homework and now we are watching the panthers game

Well, the overnight and public test has been completed... I have enough ailments and my back really spassed out on me.. I wont even begin to say it was easy !  I am grateful to have had the opportunity to test with such awesome people.  Today I feel like I must have been hit by a truck, a very large truck... I am very sore and still nursing my  back too. Hope  to be walking in an upright position by the end of the week..lol. Master Shin, Thank you for being an awesome instructor and believing in me and that I could do this and allowing me to test and represent your school.. I also think you were amazing during testing. I am proud to say I train under you.  Master Evins, thank you for allowing me to be a part of the testing experience and for helping me learn and...

     It is a beginning of a new month and I finished my overnight test! It was a long one, but everyone pulled through. I also broke 2 boards and a brick.      Today I had to got to the Hindu Temple, to learn Karma Yoga. It is a type of spiritual yoga. I was there for 2 hours. The rest of the day I just watched football. I had a friend's family come over for dinner. My sister had a friend's birthday party. 

Last week, while my dad was driving me to TKD he asked me a question. He was asking how the black belt was going, I told doing good, struggling with my journals and pulls up, but nothing to worry about. Then he asked "Courtney, would it have been better if me or your mom have done the black belt cycle with me?". I asked him to explain because i didn't understand the question. He said would it have been better if he and mom did all the same physical requirements I had to do while i was on the cycle. I had to think about it, but I told him no, I'm glad I did it on my own. I had to motivate myself. I could rely on my mom to say "Court lets go jogging", i had to get my butt up and tell my self to do. I had to be...

Today was a good lazy Sunday and a great stress reliever also. I went to church then came home rested for a little then hung out with friends, so today was pretty great.

Man oh man testing. I thought it was difficult but still it gives you a lot good feelings when you get that black belt. Today we also had a surprise black belt celebration for my friend Holden which was a lot of fun.

today was prety good i got up late, todays my moms birthday so i have to do whatever she wants then we went to dinner so today was pretty good

Testing was great!! so sore though. I didn't even realize I was until I tried to get out of the car, almost tripped over myself.

today was pretty awesome after the overnight thing i restied then i went to lincolin charter for my black belt test it was really fun and tiering

Lincoln Charter ES. Testers looking good. Can't wait until it is my turn again.

Tonight marks the end of the last cycle before mine starts. Excited to know that I will be testing again at the next Black Belt Test.

I am about to go to my test to get my first pom. I am really nervous and excited. I am nervous because it is my first time going and I have never done this before. I am excited because it will be really cool to do this with people that I know and people that I don't know and am getting ready to know. Enough of this chit chat. Let's go level up!

my day was  pretty good i got up then went to school at school i did all my stuff it was pretty easy i dont have homework and that is good because tonight  i finnaly finished my cicle and now i am testing!!!

today will be rough hope today will be nice and also hope that we can get dismissed around 1 or 2pm good luck to everybody!

Today I stayed home from school so I could sleep and get ready for the black belt test tonight. I don't know if I am excited or nervous for it.

     Today is the Black Belt Testing. I don't know what is going to happen. I hope testing will end around 2 am or 3 am. Most of all I hope I will pass.      At school, a classmate of mine gave out candies for everyone. She and a friend made small bags of candy to give out to the class for Halloween. I had a math test again. It was pretty easy, I sure I will get an A. My science teacher gave my class a project that is due tomorrow on cells. We have to make a diagram on it. 

Today my high school had a Halloween themed day. So today was not full of stress, but also tonight is our black belt test so I am very excited.

Happy dance so far today- - -I just keep hoping that continues thru the evening and weeeeee hours of the morning, which by the way anything after 10:00pm is past my bed time.  Got to the office early and actually was able to leave at noon.  Stopped for one errand on the way home then it has been snuggling with fur ball on the sofa and laundry.  I am trying to relax and rest- -easier said than done.  If I shut my brain down and do not think my head does not hurt as much so not going to try running thru any tkd, if I don't have it by now probably not gonna happen.  Have a bunch of family coming in tonight so house is ready and my only things left on my list are to bathe Rosie (yup that is my crazed little fur ball) and pack my bag for tonight. ...

Unable to log yesterday's requirements.   In the wee hours of the morning after finally finishing a large order  I went thru every form I've ever done.  SDs, sticks, staffs...  I am very nervous !   I am still short in some areas... I really have tried.. and will do my best. Good luck everyone!  

my day was tiring i got up went to school and was very tired then i did school, bairly then i went to tae kwon do and did some homework then i took class then i ate dinner then i took another class then i took another class so i was really tired

Today i went to school and tomorrow i will not have school because of black belt testing. And tonight i get to go to bed extra late and wake up at 1:00 pm, GOOD LUCK!!!! to everyone on the cycle that is testing tomorrow.

     Today, during math class the fire alarm went off half way through class. It was just a fire drill and everyone was only outside for about 10 min. During Environmental Studies our teacher came back from Tennessee. She had a family emergency. My class was working on a letter and she couldn't find them. She said we would have to do it again if she didn't find them. Luckily, she was able to find them.       Tomorrow is Black Belt Testing. I hope it goes well and we don't have to train for way to long.

My Grandpa Tom and my Grandma MB, who are on my mom's side, and my Grammie, from my dad's side, are all coming to watch testing on Saturday. Grandpa Tom is getting here tonight in just a little while. Grammie will be here tomorrow. I am really excited and nervous because I get to do something I never have before which is always exciting but testing in front of a lot of people makes nervous. My dad says he loves me a whole lot and he knows I will do great. 

Went to dojang today and did not take class but worked on a few things.  My thoughts- - - - I would not have come this far if I did not know something, may not have everything perfect, but hey I am far from perfect.  Just have to keep my head clear, be careful and do my best. 

Today after school I went to tae kwon do and crammed for the test tomorrow, I am ready for it I just don't know what to expect so I am going to do everything.

Today is our last day before testing!  I honestly can't believe it is already here!  Time sure does fly...  I'm trying to stay as relaxed as possible, because tomorrow and Saturday definitely will not be relaxing.  I have to remember to breathe!

Today I had my last Tae Kwon Do class before my first degree black belt test. I am nervous but I feel I will do well.

Today I wrapped up the last all of my push ups, sit ups, and forms. I have class tonight and I will finish up my rolls, then I will be done. Tomorrow is the test and plan on coming home and getting a nap before I head back out and take it on. I am a little anxious, but I I think that I will do well.

today I didn't go to class to get ready for the overnight test tomorrow.

I'm just a big ball of stress.  I can't catch up.. I feel pulled and stretched so tight I am spread way to thin right now.... and I just don't feel good.    So there, I've whined today...   but, besides that, I am thrilled I woke this morning, I always know I'm up cause the first words out of my mouth are "ouch"...  happy I am here, and able to be running behind, happy I have people in my life that are encouraging... My first Black Belt cycle I thought was the absolute hardest thing I had ever done.   I can't say that now.   This 2nd degree cycle has been even tougher.. and has taken me longer!   I have had struggles along the way that I am still trying to overcome. But, there again, I am still here, still pushing, still attempting  to overcome them.     Thank you to everyone who has put up with me...

I love overnight testing!  So exciting!  I love seeing everyone "step up" and "bring it"!  Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow night!

Time is free, but it is priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it, you can't keep it, but you can spend it, once you've lost it, you can never get it back.  ... and I never seem to have enough of it.   Its late, I'm exhausted, I still have a lot to do and the clock is ticking, Friday will be here.. SOON !   Nerves are kicking in now too...    Til tomorrow ...    

     Today my project on Cells for Science due. I had to make a city that would do in way the same things as the organelles in a cell. I also had to do a short story with it. During Social Studies I had another project due. I had to make a journal as a knight during the Black Death. I also had to make an entry on me dying. During Language Arts I was moved since a person in my class kept playing games on his computer. 

Today we had a big Chemistry test that I felt like I did very well because I had spent all afternoon yesterday studying.

Another day done, and one step closer to testing.  Started the day with a great class at King Tiger Lake Norman.  Worked on a lot of different poomsaes, and also self defense and Hapkido.  Got another mentor session in.  Man, we are so close!

Work hard. Crash hard. That's what I always say. Or at least that is what I say today. I did 48 Poom Saes today in order to stay on track for Saturday. I worked out really hard and now I am paying the price by crashing hard at only 9:20. Tomorrow I'm getting a haircut so I might look weird at testing. Luke the dog crashed hard as well. I thought I would be more awake since I had some cream soda but I'm not. This is all I've got in me. I need to go to bed. Good night. 

Today I went to school and did a benchmark for social studies. When I came home we started cleaning the house for family that's coming in for the black belt testing, can't wait for the over night testing and the regular testing.

so today I pretty much finished the BB cycle I got my last mentee and PMAA classes in I did a lot of push-ups and I finished up my forms. I think that I am ready for this test.

The Black Belt Retreat was incredible.  My favorite part of the weekend was training outside with Grandmaster Lee.  It was a beautiful day and the entire weekend was great.  My creative form has finally taken shape and now I just need to practice, practice, practice.  I can't believe the overnight test is in 2 days!!!!!

my day was pretty good i went to school on the bus and my sisters bus came really late. when i got to school i did all my stuff that was easy then i wen t to the car line and got picked up by tae kwon do.  after that i did class and then i had dinner then i did another class then i went home and that was it 

In Homeroom we got free donuts and got a party during math so we got to go outside. Also I was at tae kwon do cramming on requirements trying to finish up before the test so I should be good for Friday night.

Today i went to school and tested out my ballistics box, which measures speed. So when i tested it (the sling shot) the marble went flying in the air, hit the paper and measured how far it went. The marble went fast to. So that was my day.

Today was a good day, let me tell you what I did. Today was my Math EOQ and I think I rocked it????. so after that we made our own pumpkin. I did mine Minecraft and after we had lunch in the classroom. It was so fun to do that again. After that we made direction's to how to make that pumpkin. then we had inside recess. After we went home and picked up a couple of pumpkins from my friend Melanie's house, after this I will go to practice with other black belt before testing. I am very excited for testing. See you tomorrow. Bye????????

I knew I should have journaled for today at 3 am when I was still up from last night... now I look up and have almost missed today's journal... midnight is a coming. Doing order entry and poomsaes in between...   hope all are well.   gotta run    

Tonight I went to all 3 classes. Went over a lot of material for the test Friday night. I am nervous but ready. Can't wait!!!

     Today in Math I had a Unit Quiz. It was only 15 questions and only on 2 I was stuck. I am sure I will get a good grade. During Environmental Studies there was 2 guest speakers from the Caburras Country Environmental Conservation Agency. They talked about Water Sheds and our school grounds. I also had a Science Test on the Microscope and it was easy. 

today was pretty normal and uneventful nothing out of the ordinary happened. I went to school and then I went to TKD to all three classes and I got a mentee and a mentor session and I did a lot of poomsaes and stuff.

Tonight I ate out with my family and my grandma and my uncle and his fiancee and two other people. I wore my tie and my great grandad's fedora. I ordered cheese pizza. I only ate half of it. I had a glass a milk. I sat between my uncle Elliot and my dad.Ben and I made our glasses sing and ring. I met uncle Elliot's dad and stepmom. We talked about my black belt cycle for a few minutes. Now I'm really sleepy and ready for bed. Good night. 

Busy, busy, busy!  Got a lot done today, though.  Even for a rainy day!  Went through a lot of forms today...still getting requirements done, but not exactly where I need to be.  Testing is so close, getting the butterflies now!  Almost there...push push push!

Today I was extremely tired and it was very hard to get out of bed this morning. The day felt slow but better as the day progressed.

Today was a good day let me tell you what I did. So this week we are taking our EOQ's. so today when I got to school we read our books and then we toke our EOQ for Reading. After that we had lunch and then we did Math and inside recess. And after we went home and then went to Tae Kwon Do. And then we took class, me and my brother Aaron. Then I did a Mentor session.Then we ate McDonalds. I ate a biscuit and we went home. Oh I forgot to tell you what I did on the camping trip. It was so fun because it was my first time camping so I was a bit scared. But by the end of the trip  I wanted to camp more.. I also got to train with Grandmaster Lee.

     Today at school I forgot all about my math homework. The retreat was so fun I forgot all about my homework. Luckily, he said I could bring it in tomorrow. My Environmental Studies had a family emergency, so we had to make recycle letters again. In science I was suppose to have a quiz but my teacher was sick, so there was no quiz. In Social Studies, I got my report cards and they were good. 

Tonight we had our senior night for the soccer team. We lost by two but it was a great game.  

So today I went to King Tiger and Master Chelley made we do 2 sparring rounds because I needed 26. I knew I was going to come back for kickboxing so I could get them all done. today. At kickboxing, we did normal things...we just kicked the bag and then I got to spar my dad for my last sparring round. He did a few kicks but then he just covered his nang sim and ran around the mat. I got a few good kicks to his chest and they rang out with a loud THWAC!! That is how I finished my sparring rounds for my black belt cycle. 

Wow!  What a great retreat!  So much fun and camaraderie this past weekend!  It was great to train and do teamwork activities with everyone.  Now it is cram time.  Testing is only DAYS away!  Time to really turn up the heat!

So happy to be on the mat today.  While it was limited, more like going thru the motions, was pleased that my mind did not totally go away and I actually remembered most everything we worked on.  Tomorrow maybe another story but happy for today.

Today i was resting after the retreat. I did not get to write about it, but it was AWESOME. I had so much fun without my parents and with my friends. I was still missing my parents. Today, i relaxed. i did not run and i did my daily schedule for physical requirements. 

today I went to school like usual and then after that we dropped my sister off a gymnastics. I went to the two classes that I could go to.

today was pretty good i went to school and at school it was really confusing because they switched the blocks around so some people went to the wrong blocks.  after school i went tae kwon do and i had snack there then i did my homeworkafter that i did tae kwon do and that was my day

It amazes me how quickly a Monday will arrive.   I am Still SO very far behind ... and that would be in everything,  in my life in general.   Looking at my requirements, my journals will show 2 shy on Friday, I did have 2 days I was unable to make an entry due to technical difficulties, but truth is, I shouldn't be pushing this so close to the wire.  I have to [make] the few minutes to be sure and post an entry for the next few days... This week, how quickly Friday will arrive.    I am stretched so thin... I'm not quite sure how I got here.  I am chalking it up to passion and stupidity.   I love what I do,  but I have to learn to do better.  I'm going to do my best to finish this cycle as I am suppose to... in green, but honestly I'm not sure I've...

I am glad I got to go on the Black Belt retreat this past weekend.  I got to work on a lot of things I was needing not to mention had a great time too.  I got home in time to watch the Jets on TV  at my Uncle's house and am mad they lost to the Patriots but at least the Panthers are still undefeated!

Today i have no school today and that is nice because i am super exhausted from the retreat and that was something that was fun but serious at the same time. I hope that when i do the next cycle (fall cycle) that master Evins will consider doing that again. But man i don't know if i am bunking with Luis again because he talked in his sleep and argued with himself, and he started moving and it was an earth quake. I didn't go to bed on Saturday till 2:00 am. But like master Evins said you get to know your friends better when you go camping.

Thank you Master Evins for an awesome retreat.  I enjoyed myself & continued to learn.. I find that often you help me learn more about myself.. Today was TJ'S birthday... I am still in shock he is 19 & wish I could have some of the time.back but so proud of him as he is growing. .  I have a lot of work to do & spent a large amount of time today doing so..deadlines.. deadlines.. deadlines.. everywhere..  we really didn't do anything extravagant but I certainly enjoyed the time we spent together ... we baked him a a cake & made his favorite dinner (together). & practiced a few poomsaes..  nothing extravagant like I say but after yesterday's meditation i started thinking more about how important the little things are.. like a $1.94 box of cake mix, and just how special that can be.  One week to go. I have...

Tonight we are watching football and the score is 7 Panthers, 3 Eagles. Right now it is 1st and 10. Panthers have the ball. I want the Panthers to win. So far the Eagles have had four penalties and the Panthers have had none. If the Panthers win they will be undefeated at 6 and 0. That is what's going on right now. 

    Today I came back from the Black Belt Retreat at Camp Oak Hill. The retreat was fun. I had my first 2 smores at the campfire. There was a pumpkin carving contest between 2 teams. The team I was on won, we used Master Chin's hockey mask as our face. I got to meat Grandmaster Lee for the first time and trained with him for an hour. I even saw a picture of Master Evins, when he worked at Camp Oak Hill. The trip back home was good, didn't have any traffic when we were going to the retreat. Overall I had a good time.

It was the last morning of camp today and I can't wait to go back sometime. I woke up at 8 o'clock and started packing, once we all finished packing we went to have breakfast and then we got ready to leave. When we got dropped off, I went to eat with a friend and then me and my dad headed home to relax the rest of the day.

Today we got back from our black belt retreat. We all had a great together and I got to spend time with some awesome people. I would'nt have missed it for the world and i'm so glad I went.

yesterday was the BB retreat and it was pretty fun, we woke up really early like a six and went and meditated in a field. later we did some stick forms and stuff. We went to breakfast and had a good meal. afterwards we did some cool teambuilding activities in the woods. After all of that Grand master Lee went over the new changes and some of the hapkeyto forms. To finish up the retreat we went to the campfire and did some skits. Then we played some capture the flag my team lost but I did get the flag/ pumpkin once.We had some free time after the capture the flag game and then I went to bed. 

Today was fun, we woke up and went to a big field and we had to spread out to do meditation, afterwards we got with a partner to sticks and single stick forms. Then we went down to breakfast and had French toast sticks with sausage and once everyone was done we went into the woods to do a couple of courses about trust. Later Grand master Lee came, it was awesome we went over forms and there new changes and did hapkito forms 1 and 2. We rounded up the day with smores and a little free time to do whatever activities we wanted to do with our partners.

Today I went to school. After school I went to Jimmy Johns and ate before I got in the car with the Belmont people and I can't wait to get there and do a lot of cool bb stuff

Today at school went by fast , we didn't do much besides read and watch channel one news. Right now I'm still only way to the camp for our black belt retreat, can't wait until we get there.

     I had to write this journal at 4:22 pm, because I won't be able to do it at the Retreat. I can't wait to go to the Retreat. I wonder what we are going to do their, of course training. Well today is a good day, because it is Friday. School went well, nothing bad happened. My dad had to pick me up early from school or I would get to the Persis parking lot late. It is going to be an interesting 3 hour drive.

We are 44 minutes away from leaving for our King Tiger Black Belt Retreat. I am a little nervous because I've never been on a retreat before so I don't know what will happen. I brought some things that will keep me busy like a Sudoku book. I am also nervous because I don't know where we're going exactly. But I am excited because we might be able to go swimming. I am also looking forward to being with all my friends for a few days but I am going to miss my parents the most. Well, I'll see you next time. Bye!

All packed and ready for the retreat, just waiting on my dad to pick me up

Glad I didn't have to go to school today since it was a teacher workday, it was nice to sleep in.  I got some requirements in and finished packing for the retreat today. Excited to head out in a few hours.  It should be a great weekend.

I don't have to journal tonight. I only have six or seven left and can get that many done without doing one tonight. I'm tired and can't think of what to write. At least I don't have school tomorrow. I can sleep in and play on the computer before having to get my stuff ready for the weekend retreat. I am really excited about the retreat but I have no idea where we are going. I'm expecting there is going to be a lot of outdoor fun and activity and we're not going to have that much free time to just walk around. 

     During International Studies 50% of my class had not turned in their project (not including me) and my teacher was mad. Some people turned it in late, will other didn't turn it in at all. So people who hadn't turned it in yet had to work on it during lunch. In Math about half way through class my arm started hurting really badly. I managed to pull through the whole day. I had to get a pain killer in the night because I couldn't stand it.

Today was my grandfathers funeral and I spoke in front of the congregation to talk about his life. It was extremely hard to finish because I could not stop tearing up as I spoke. But I held strong as I pushed through the speech.

Today was a busy day. I had to do my vocab words for homework and i had to go to one of my classes called kuman. I took a test and passed!The sad part about today was that i did not get to do my requirements. Me and my mom were busy finishing packing for the retreat. It is going to be awesome! I cant wait  

Today i went to school and this police officer came in for about 45 minutes and he was huge!!!! Then he talked about his speed detector/distance measure. Then he pulled his motorcycle out and that thing was huge!!!!!! It looked like robocop a little, he even had a computer built into the bike!!!!! and a printer!!!!! That was awesome!!!!!!! Going to camp oak hill tomorrow see everyone there!!!!!

Overall great day!  Black belt class we got a chance to work on almost all of the major things...pal gwes, basic forms, hapkido, self defenses, weapons forms, etc...  I was proud that the only "brain fart" I had was towards the end of Pal Gwe Oh Jang.  Everything is feeling much better, except one of my toes...I don't think it is broken, but purple isn't a great color for it...

Not What happened today I mostly did Either midterms or independent work But I can't wait for tomorrow I'm excited to get extra sleep and go on the Black Butler treat

Today was a relaxing kind of day, at school we had a benchmark that was pretty easy and the rest of the day was just catching up on work. When I came home my relaxing day continued, I also didn't go to tkd today.

Today was a normal day and other than me crunching menthe sessions I am really really ready for this cycle to be over.

today was pretty fun i went to school and forgot my lunch so my aunt brought it by the school and at the end of school we had a peperally for football against our rivals bradley and we ended up winning the game 26-0=)  once i got to tae kwon do i had to read for 20 min then i got dressed for class after class i went to chik fal a.  then we rented a movie and now we are going to watch it

Today was a good day , let me tell you what I did. Today was a good and exciting. When I got to school we did Reading and then we did Math. After that we went to Media. When I was in Media I read on my computer. After that I went to lunch and then we finished Math. After Math we went to recess and then went home. Now I have to catch up on some homework, and review some math that I was having problems with and my grades were not what my mom expects. Tomorrow we are going to the Monster Mash party and then camping on Saturday. So see you tomorrow ????????????????????. Bye.  

Today is the day of our pep rally at school.  It's the big game between Bradley Middle and Bailey. I am excited to go and I get to be a part of it.  I am playing in our schools marching band.  Let's go Bradley!  I should be done in time to get one last PMAA class in tonight, then head home so I can pack for the retreat tomorrow..  Can't wait and the bonus is there's no school cause it's a teacher work day.

It's getting down to the wire. Had a great training session with Master Knight yesterday. We reviewed most of the weapons and Palgwe forms. Tomorrow, we leave for the BB retreat. It's going to be a great weekend.

LoNG day. Still not complete. Just looked up and realized the time. Trying to  beat themidnight hour.  Good day tomorfow all ! 

Tonight I had my family and friends gathering for my grandfathers passing. I had met so many people and they were all so happy to have known my grandfather.

On the YouTube show Good Mythical Morning Rhett and Link debated Pirates versus Ninjas. Link was pirates and Rhett was ninjas. Personally I vote for ninjas. I voted for ninjas because There are silent killers with swords, ninja stars, and chain ball things while pirates have blunderbusses which sounds stupid and is really loud. They also have swords as well but their swords aren't as good because they are much heavier and harder to swing.   Hey what's that? It's a spartan coming out of nowhere eating apples. 

Today was long and tiring, I went to bed late last night, then I didn't eat breakfast or lunch, I had no energy today. I can't wait till Thursday night, hopefully I can catch up on some sleep
