Sore from martial fit last night...worrying about all the candidates. Hope everyone knows what they need to know! No over-night testing this time.....makes most people happy. I personally would rather stay up most of the night than wake up at 4 am, but I know that I am weird :}

Yesterday was my little brother's first birthday! It was very funny because he had no idea what he was supposed to do with his cupcake! He just sat their staring at it! It was fun. But i am also happy that i finished all my physical requirements except for my running and i only have 6 miles left. Yay!

For the past couple of days I have been reading on my dad's nook.  For some reason I have been attracted to it, and I have been reading it for all of my reading assignments for school, and most of my free time.

It was another early day , I had woken up at 6 am to finish some homework not done the previous night! I had to finish AP US History homework. After I went to school, i had to find a ride home because my dad took the car today because he needed it so i rode home with a friend. Today i was unable to go to Tae Kwon Do for my sparring class because there was so much traffic on 1-77 it was backed up from one exit away from me till my TKD school. So instead, i went home and did homework for today and i had extra time so it felt like a longer day!

Today I ate completely clean except for dinner way to many carbs substitute white for brown rice lowered to carbs by li 5 grams tomarrow i start intense cutting goal is 6% BF

The kids sang happy birthday to me today.  Today went well but i secondarily have to change my diet because i am feeling very fatigued as the day goes on.

No happy dance today. Left work early, straight home and to bed, not even the sofa. Not feeling well just hope it's a quick bug. Sitting on the sofa now looking at the treadmill thinking I have to get at least something accomplished with requirements. Lets see what the evening brings - - - - -.

Burkart out

I'm in science right now ( what a rebel) i'm actually not supposed to be doing this...but its fun......

Its been a tiring day today. This whole week I have gotten 5 hours of sleep each day and it had finally caught up to me today. Although i was extremely tired i had to push through and go to school, tae kwon doe and planet fitness which I accomplished all. However, i did have to skip my leadership 1 credit for the day because i was doing AP Calculus study group, which I didn't want to skip. After Tae Kwon doe though, i went to the airport to pick up my dad, coming in from Boston. And i finally conclude my day with my homework for the night!

tiday was really fun. i started my skill wich is making marshmallows and i died them pink. i cant wait to eat them. today my sister and i helped sanjana's mentee. she is sooooooo cute. she listens to you and tries really hard to get things right. im just going to say that sanjana is really lucky to have a mentee like that.

Just wiped out today and no requirements accomplished. Got home from work and fell asleep, yikes!!!!! It is what it is and hopefully will wake up in the morning ready to go.

Very productive day. Started with Mastesr / school owner training. Went over Hop Ki Do Forms 1 & 2. Then taking apart a old plugger, cleaning the carburetor, making my own plugs. This is what you have to do when they don't make parts of this old unit. I love a good challenge.

Today is a day where I really have to study tonight. I have a big test tomorrow on science. Proably not going to be sleeping tonight till like 11. Need to start studying.

Today after 2 class at Tae Kwon Do I was done at 7:45. I then began waiting as everybody left I was still waiting and waiting. After 15 mins I called and he realized he had forget me.

Today in black belt class we did self defense, hap kid 1-10 and the new hap kid form 1.

Today in school we had art. We continued to work on our poster board. After school I was able to get my requirements in and study for the written test. Tonight I went to church. I am now going to bed.

Today I went to school and did my work and 100 sit-ups in my math class. After school I went to tae Kwan Do and did my requirements and took class.

Today I did lots of chores, like cleaned my room, took out trash and loaded dishwasher. I also went to Tae Kwon Do to the senior belt class.

I had a good day, I did a test but it was actualy fun because it was easy and small and then played a class game to test our knowleadge. Plus we did mostly reading in lang. Arts and I love reading.

Grammy took me shopping. She bought me a new sheepskin bean bag chair. Love it! I can sit in it and play games on my iPad.

Today we are having co-op and we to practice using a compass. It sounds like a lot of fun. We are going to leave in a few minutes. It was so exiting! Just a minute ago my little brother who is almost a year old signed all done. That is the first sign he has done.

It was an interesting day at school today! For my Ap English class, I had to make a scarlet letter for one of my owns sins and create it and stick it on my shirt for the whole day at school. It was fun to do because only those in the class got to participate and everyone kept questioning each others letters.Other than that, i had a normal day with my requirments and workout. But for Tae kwon doe we had an extra sparring class today that I attended right before my PMAA class!

Long ,long Tuesday. One good thing about having old mechanical stuff is its pay for. The bad thing is some times you end up working on them more then the job takes to do.

Legs are tired today! Did a long run on Sunday and then a 3.7 today. Working on the Pal Gwe forms, but need to work on Wang Ho forms.

I was pretty tired today.  Instead of hyperpro we replaced our class with sparring so kids could get caught up and also to practice for the mini tournament on Saturday.

My Grammy came in today. She is staying for a week. We will have fun!!! Master Justin worked us hard tonight

Today instead of hyper pro class we replaced it with sparring class to get ready for this weekend. I also presented a project in spanish, which is surprising since I have never really presented a b rojeces because I'm to shy.

So not going to dwell on the darn fairy that should be helping me out instead of hindering me but yikes what is it about the kitchen. Now the faucet needs a thingy so it does not leak and the dishwasher has become possessed and decided it wants another life somewhere else. That is three in the kitchen you are done - -fix it all and move on. Nutty day at work with some very trying clients - -be nice or karma will get you - then off to South Charlotte. Got in some requirements, helped in class then adult class. Very nice evening of red stripe, thank you Inst. Hsin!! Would have liked to increased on the requirements but sorry folks if one of the little's asks a question, wants the belt tied, or just would like to joke around, you find out what is most important to your journey....

Today I helped out with class. I also had a mentee session but I was missing the mentee. Rachel didn't come so I don't think it counted : -(

today I did a mentee meeting (I got it right for once) and we did a lot of kicks that he did not understand so I taught the hook round house kicks and he was very confused

Today I had a normal day except I had to play baseball again.

school was fun or shall i say it was ok. we were going to present our imovie's today but since there were too many presentations i'm doing mine tomorrow.

Today I treid to do my empathy training. I chose to be mute, so I was mute all the way until math. Math is my LAST PERIOD. I just started talking, not noticing. So I guess I must actually talk A LOT. It was a pain, so I guess thats what I'm doing this weeken. I could isolate my self on my ipad.....

so I am a slacker just like some of the ones I have yelled at not sure that makes me a hypocrite or not, feel like one, so many things have me down right now, school stuff, work out stuff, need energy need to be a student again not a master. I have so much on my plate that I can not focus properly, I have gotten requirements completed except jump rope due to this foot thing. I will have to ask Master Evins for something else, he is the fitness king. I will try to get up on Thursday nights now and some Tuesday night classes and as many Saturdays as I can, hope to see you all soon. Burkart out

Today and yesterday I have been sick.  It has not been very pleasant because my dad is making me take medicine.  The only good part about it is that I don't have to go to school.  

This morning i got up pretty early and plan to get tons of requirements done. Maybe even finish all my physical requirements. Nothing much to write about except i'll be glad when the cycle is over.

Today was fun. I laughed so hard in science today for no reason. Well there were some reasons, like my friend and I were trying to creep this gye out. It didn't work, but it made us laugh really hard.

I came home from school, we went to barnes and nobles to get this free cupcake or cookie, and of course, I got a cupcake. Last night I had sent an email to my teachers and the priciple, and other adults, to ask them permission if I could do my empathy training at school. Most of them said yes, and the others did not respond. So, tomorrow, I will be mute! yay!

Last night i went running and i realized that i have gotten a lot faster because used to it would take me 3 hours to run 4.67 miles but last night it took me only an hour and a half to run 4.09 miles. This morning i went to the orthodontist to get my braces changed and the doctor said i have done a really good job keeping my teeth clean! After that we went to another appointment and then went running. I only have a small amount of miles to run which is great!

Had a really good workout session today. My legs are so sore from all of the running i have done recently. I also was mute today which found itself to be very annoying.
