Journal - Day 25

Good night, everyone! Today was a nice day. I've been feeling a lot better, which is great, and I've gotten the chance to take some rest during my spring break. Work went well today, and the sky was so beautiful when I came back home. The weather is getting better, and it's starting to become spring, but that means my allergies are going to go crazy again. Otherwise, I didn't do much today. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Today was good, just a normal Monday. I was still really tired because of the day light savings. At school I had art and we painted a flower, which was fun. After school, I had a snack and then played on my iPad for a little bit, and then I worked on some poomsaes. Then we went to TKD and I got mentor meeting in. Now I am getting ready for tomorrow and bed. ♥

Today was another normal Monday! School was good. When I got home I ate dinner and got ready for TKD. I got a mentee, mentor and class assistance credit in. I had my last required mentor session! I am also deciding to really crank it this week to finish my class assistance credits. And, this is my last required journal! I have liked reflecting on my day, so I don’t know if I’ll stop completely, but we’ll see. Anyway, I am super tired still from Saturday and the time change so I’m going to bed now, night!

I don't like having allergies. Allergies are you bodies response to things it thinks are dangerous but aren't like pollen or cinnamon. You act sick & feel terrible but aren't & you aren't a hazard. I also did my taekwando but with allergies. That's all I did today other than school. Also my 11th grade classmates are taking the sat.

SICK AND SORE!!!

So yesterday was the physical and written test, plus I had a vigorous rehearsal the same night, and y'all I am so sore today, it is not even funny. I have been in my PJ's all day playing video games, dreading the pain I have to endure walking all over the place and working tomorrow.   BUT WHY AM I STILL SICK!!!???   I am exhausted and still sick. Maybe it is because I haven't had time to rest, but oh my god I cannot seem to get or feel better AT ALL! It is ridiculous. Hopefully I feel better by tomorrow so I can work with no issues. But that is all for today, so adios everybody!

Then for breakfast we made waffles, which were really good. After that we when to get our shrubs, I got a yellow flower one, and I named it ducky because of the yellow.

Today was a busy but super fun day! I’m so happy because I got to sleep in, but the time change is messing me up. Anyway, then we went to run errands. I finally got my shrub. It’s beautiful and it flowers too. I named my shrub swan because it’s very delicate and white. The. We went to pick up dog treats for day 2 of the fundraiser, and today we invited our friend to join us. We had more signage and the dog treats were a big hit, we were out there for 2.5 hours and got a total of almost $200! Thanks to all the generous people in the neighborhood! I am still tired from yesterday, so I’ll pick back up on requirements tomorrow. When we got back my legs were tired from standing so I played iPad and called my friend, ate dinner and now we’re watching American...

running low on days before our spring black belt exam. Had a great mentoring session with my mentor and the black belt crew from Sunday. We covered and reviewed SO much. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dan one steps. 1st and 2nd dan specials too. I'm tender from the physical stuff we did yesterday and the 4 mile run.  I need to find some junior belts to mentee over the next ten days.....mine won't show up. It's very frustrating.

So today I woke up around 7:30(cause of the spring forward) And I did some chores with my dad while my mom went to the store. When she got back we ate lunch and then got ready to cut down a tree 🌳 At first it was going well but it got stuck on some other trees. So we got a rope to rap it around it. That failed SO FOR SOME REASON MY DAD DECIDED TO CLIMB ON THE LADDER AND LIKE JUMP DOWN ON THE TREE!!! IT WORKED BUT HE LANDED VERY HARDLY ON HIS BACK WITH A LOUD PLOP!!!! MY MOM SCREAMED AND WE RUSHED OVER LUCKILY HE WAS LAUGHING.

Saturday

This past week has been a slow week.  Partially because of all of the work I have been doing and all of the time spent being a zombie from little to no sleep.  Hopefully I can fix that next week and over spring break.  Going to my aunt's house to get caught up on a few things away from where I'm normally at has helped a little.  Hopefully skiing tomorrow will be fun, although it will be pretty warm for skiing and will probably be the last chance I can do it before it warms up here.  Anyway, the time change to daylight savings time is about to take place.  This time change in particular gets on my nerves.  My internal clock is already messed up enough without the time change.

Post test day, 3/8

Today was good, really busy and tiring, but good. First we had a physical and written test. I am happy it’s over, but I am really happy about how I did. I definitely improved with the physical stuff and I did good on the written test too! After that was done, we had some food, and then got ready for a fundraiser stand for bags of hope, for our community service. The stand was fun, we are going again tomorrow, and hopefully we can get more costumers. Then we came hope a relaxed for a little bit, and then we left for a Davidson mens basketball game and I preformed at half time, which was fun and tiring. When we got back we had some dinner and I played on my iPad for a little bit. Now we are watching a movie and relaxing. Night night! ♥

Physical/Written test OVER!!

Congratulations, everyone did a great job at testing.  I was able to beat all of my physical things but a decent amount.  I was faster by almost most 2 mins on my run, even though I swear mom made me run an extra lap!! I got a 99 on my test, I only missed the question about Keumgang I put 29 and not 27 : (  But I am really proud of myself and my mom was really happy too!   FEEL BETTER SRI!!!!!

3/8-Post Test Day!

Today was the physical and written test. I was super happy because I did much better than the pre-test and I did very well on the written test! I am so proud of myself and everyone, it’s the beginning of the end. When I got home I ate something, which was much needed and then me, my sister and the rest of my family went down to our local greenway to set up a snack stand to raise money for Bags of Hope. It was fun, we got some money to donate, but we didn’t do as well as I hoped. We will go back tomorrow though and this time my friend/neighbor will join us. After we got home from that we had to get ready to go to a Davidson College basketball game. My sister preformed at half time doing her jump rope routine! I’m so proud of her because...

The news is crazy nowadays. today we had our physical & written test. I also get to listen to true crime on Saturdays.  I love the good place because of moral philosophy & ethics & because of the characters, they all feel realistically human in a way that makes you relate to them. the show appeals to our humanity as people who when contemplating the questions of the universe can’t understand. it’s weird because humans don’t always understand other humans. It’s confusing.

Journal - Day 22

Good evening, everyone! Physical and written testing went pretty well. I wish I could have gotten a bit more on my physical, but felt really sick after the run. I was very pleased with the time I got, since I beat my time by 5 minutes compared to last time. I feel I did well on the written test, but I blanked on the names of the gweys and one of the 5 kwans, but I still think I did well. After the written and physical, I went to work and helped out with class. After coming home, I've felt sick all day. My allergies are really getting to me, so hopefully I can get them under control soon. Great job everyone!! We are on the home stretch now! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

WAKEY WAKEY WE GOT SOME ANGEL CAKE!!!!

So I just woke up........ three minutes ago. Yeah I woke up at 5:35 and finished work at 1:45, went to the store to buy 3/4 ich insulation pipes for my physics project, went to Chopt and got a salad (I probably won't go back because it was overpriced and not that good) then came home to immediately crumble to my bed and falling asleep. But here I am.....awake.....   BUT HEY WE GOT CAKE!   My mom bought an Angel Food Cake, probably my favorite type of cake when it comes to the consistent taste of the cake. I woke up to a slice of cake that I was so ready to devour (love you mom <3). Not only that, but on top of a delicious slice of cake (also my dad just brought me donut holes tee hee I am so spoiled :D) Master Chelley just let me know that...

Yeah, whatever I'm trying to achieve right now is very much not sustainable in the way I'm doing it.  I am currently over at my aunt's house because I really had to get away from things.  Maybe I can actually get some undisturbed sleep.  And catch up on my tracking on the site.  Hopefully I can catch up on a lot of things this weekend.

Friday Journal Entry

Today there was no school and virtual seminary, so it was a perfect day to get extra sleep this morning. When I woke up I went for a run, I ran around the neighbirhood twice, so about 2.5 miles. I did some school work, and then went to track practice, and later to TaeKwonDo. I got my tree, we named him Cutter, I thought he was from Malaysia, but when I looked up what the label on the plant says "Hemigraphis repanda" on Google the pictures dont look anythiung like "Cutter", so I think the store had the wrong label on the plant. I really don't know what he is, or if he needs more or less sun, more or less water. Will go back to the store tomorrow, I'm keeping Cutter, but I need to get the right sign, there were other plants like this one, so it shouldn't be...

Today was rough, because of the cycle. Today was fun though because today is Friday. The weekend had endorsement from labor unions & Jewish activists. Henery Ford gave them the Saturday off for capitalistic purposes. Inspite being a massive supporter of antisemitism he gave the day off so phis workers. would buy more of his cars.

Good night, everyone! Today was an awesome day! I had a lot of fun at school with my friends, and it was nice. My eyes have been bothering me since last night, and when I woke up, they were blood-shot red. I don't know why, but I think it is because allergy season is coming around. After school, I took a very nice nap and studied for the written test tomorrow. Good luck, everyone! After tomorrow, we will be on the home stretch. Have a wonderful rest of your night!

CHILLS FROM MY SICKNESS (insert cool Jennifer Hudson esc vocals)!!!!

I am having the most painful coughing and have been on and off asleep. I will be alright, just gotta finish some homework and this beautiful journal :D   I KINDA LIKE SPARRING NOW!?   So I have never liked sparring, like, at all. However, something today just hit different. I felt like I connected with sparring when it came to teaching other kids sparring in the moment. I know a lot about sparring, the point system, all that jazz. Yet, I still somehow never fell in love with it like I feel like most others around my age do. But I taught this high red belt some of the basics and feedback on what he was already doing (which was very impressive) and it just hit. I find the good and enjoyment in things I do when I get to teach it. I love my job :D   Now it...

I ran a i was running the 4 by 800m relay, and our team came on 3rd on our heat, we ran 9:40. And I ran a 400m, and I came in 10th place in my heat out of a field of 25, I ran 1:00.21, and I know I could've done much better, I really got messed up on the turn during the race, I would've had a much better time if I didn't get messed up on the turn. Tomorrow I will be getting my tree or plant, depending, but probably a plant that we can keep in the apartment. I still have my plants from my first blackbelt cycle, so that's...

Today was a good Thursday. I had a big test in math, and I’m so happy I got a super good score! This made me happy so I spent the rest of the day with a smile. When I got home I did a bunch of requirements, and I acted like it was the actual post-test to see how far I’ve come and what I could expect. I am definitely going to relax and rest tomorrow so I’m not worn out for Saturday. Before going to TKD I also worked on some signage for a fundraiser me and my family are doing for Bags Of Hope. Then I went to sparring, it was fine. But let me say, sparring is just not my thing… I am more of a poomsae type of girl. Anyway, there’s only 2 required sparrings left for me, so that’s a plus. Now I’m doing some chores...

March 6th

Happy Thursday. I am excited today I got my plant. It is a box wood and I named her Everleigh the boxwood. It is an English boxwood and I think it looks neat. I am excited about tomorrow too. We have our fun run tomorrow and this is my 5th year doing it. It is fun but takes a lot of energy. I like running with my friends and my mom and dad will be there to to cheer me on. It may be cold but will be fun.

No Sleep

I have fallen behind on a lot of things.  I have fallen behind on sleep.  I don't have much energy.  But I have so much to do for tomorrow and the next day and the next.  It's been an entire month of this... I can't wait until summer, until next year.  I will probably be in a better place for things by the time when the fall semester rolls around.  But for now, it's just back to pure pain.  And using the last of my energy to force that pain out of my mind.  Sleep is a luxury.  Being well rested and being in a good headspace is a privilege.  I have been trying to be a lot of things for a lot of people, amid failure after failure this semester when things went downhill.  I'm writing this at 11 central time, but I feel the weight of no sleep on...

SICK AND TIRED :C!!!!!

So I have been pretty ill and just plain tired the past week, and I have just had o energy to do anything that I don't have to mandatorily do. Now with this sickness that seems to keep returning into my immune system as some sort of test against my humanity, journaling has been the last thing on my mind, but I have come back and am ready to write my comedy once again!   BEING SICK MEANS EVERYTHING HURTS!   Teaching has been the literal death of me this week, as talking, singing, yelling, anything that utilizes my voice just hurts. I just wish I could be completely well, right now, no illness or cold or whatever is affecting my vocal cords right now. Tons of coughing, mucus, ya know, the gross stuff :D   So imma get my sleep and catch y'all tomorrow!

Today was fun, because I did have any school today due to the harsh winds. But i woke up at six o’clock because my school told me there was no school, at 6:30. So I used the extra time for my essays and to study for my written test. Then, later in the day I went to master Evins do jang for sparring and black belt class.

Saturday is the physical testing day. I like that programing languages are diffrent from one another but they can do each others jobs. You can use any language to  program a game, a website, or anything else. All it takes in knowhow & transpilation. This is the reason why I love computers.

Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Today we had no school, for some reason. It was only rainy this morning then it was sunny and warm. I’m glad the day was off though, I got to do some school work. I also just spent the day relaxing and playing outside. I biked 6 miles and then ran 1 later in the day. At 5:30 I left for TKD. I finally had another mentee meeting and also did a leadership credit. Now I’m finishing some chores and getting ready for bed.

LMP Mar 5

Since there is no school today, I have decided to spend the day working on self-defense, poomsaes, and trying to work out my creative form. It's a challenge to do self-defense alone, so I'm hoping we go over self-defense in class tonight...hoping we have class tonight. I've decided to test on March 21. Butterflies have been swarming since I decided, but I think I'll be ok. I'm sure I will be 'fussed' at for one thing or another, but doesn't everyone get fussed at? I'm having trouble getting my 'dropbox' invite.....hope I receive it soon. However, if CMS doesn't allow it,  not sure what to do?!?!?
