Today was mid.   I woke up was sooo tired and I didn't want to go to school.  I went to school and my friend Raffi sold again because he wore crocs again and we had PE so we couldn't get the big shoe award.  Then we did blocks and I did my test corrections for my test that everyone had to do even if we got above an 80 (I got a 90, only missed 3 questions).  Then I went to science block and had snack and watched CNN10.   Then I had math for 3rd block and did our work.  Then it was lunch, after lunch we finished math block.  After that was recess and we played soccer, the score was 2-1.  Ben got really mad and was about to cry after.  Then I rode the bus to KT, I did some black belt stuff, played games, did some homework.  I...

Today was a good, normal day. I got up and sis some quick grocery shopping with my mom before school. School, was good And I got my final essay done so I can confidently turn them all in on Saturday! When I got home and biked 6 miles before eating dinner and heading to TKD. I only did one class today to finish up my white belt challenge. On the way home I figured out that there will be no school tomorrow because of a wind advisory. Then I played iPad with my friends and now I’m going to bed. Looking forward to sleeping in!

I have no school . It sounds fun but I would have a band concert today. My problem is that this would be a fun day. The fun day would begin with a trip to hawethornes for pasta. Then get there in all black before 6 & play my clarinet. I love the other people preforming like orchestra & chrous who all do amazing & I will miss not meeting them because I have freinds there.

Tuesday!!!! My brother got here yesterday and we gave him his birthday presents but it was already pretty late so I didn't get to stay up much longer but that's OK. Anyway today my brother slept in till about 10:30 😴 So I didn't see him yet cause I had to go to school and he is with his mom eating dinner. He brought his dog with him, Zelda. My mom won't come home till Friday because she is a flightatendent so she works on planes. By the way the guinea pigs are doing great. Princess just sleeps in the hay box and whenever she's awake she is eating! She's so CHUNKY!!! Me and my teacher and other classmates are hoping to teach them some fun tricks to get her back in shape. But she is still doing great and not having any health issues!( she used to have health issues)😃😍🥰...

Tuesday Journal Entry

Today our seminary class was remote learning again, our teacher is sick. We have to do the assignments on our own, so I got to sleep an extra two hours. I'll do the assignment after-school today. I didn't go to track meet practice, to stay after-school for extra help. I stayed unto 4:30 and when I got picked up we ran errands and got home around 5. I had dinner, and am getting ready to go for a run around the neighborhood - that will be 1.7 miles and I'll get my physical fitness exercises done when I get back. I still have home-work too, so I should be lights-out by 11PM today.

Spring Break! (Not really)

Yeah, March Fools everyone... it's not spring break for me yet.  At least not for 2 weeks.  I'm planning on going to Chicago for spring break with my friends.  That might be cool.  For now, I have a lot of homework to do, and an annotated bibliography that I have due very soon.

Monday Journal Entry

Our seminary teacher is sick, so we had virtual seminary and had to read the lessons on our own and write a short paragraph on the lesson. Attending class in-person is easier. At school in the weight training room, I'm getting close to doing hand-stand pushups. I'll get there soon. After I  went to track practice, where I ran 4 200m, 2 400m, 1 800m, then 2 400m, so that counts for my cycle running. At home I had dinner and still have home-work and my exercises physical requirements to get done. Since we are doing virtual seminary again tomorrow, I can stay up a little later to get everything done.

Today was good, as good as a Monday can be. I got 3 essays done, so I only have one more left excluding community service. Overall, school was good, by the end of the day I was not feeling well, but I got over it fast (no, I’m not sick by the way). When I got home I relaxed and ate dinner before heading over to TKD. I started my white belt challenge today! It was so weird, but a good reminder of where I came from 🙂 I also got a class assistance and mentor session in. Now I’m getting ready for bed!

Journal #49--3/3/25

ONLY 1 MORE JOURNAL needed after tonight!  After I got up and got ready for school we walked and I forced mommy to come all the way to the door with me.  For breakfast there was breakfast pizza but on a bagel.  When I got to class we played a few board games and we talked.  We had blocks, lunch and recess.  Next I rode the bus to King Tiger and I ran with Carter because Nixon left early AGAIN. After I ran I did some requirements and I did some of my HW for school.  We went home and had tacos for dinner and then mom had to take Anthony to a scout meeting and I did some more requirements and took a shower and got ready for bed.  Mom just got home and now I am doing my journal and going to bed.

I miss Instructor Camp

I had a lot of things I had to deal with this weekend...  I started doing more rock climbing though.  I found that to be calming.  That, and burying myself in homework.  This is going to be a long semester.  I'm really not sure how it's going to go.  I got some mango ice cream with hot sauce.  It sounded crazy but it actually tasted good.  I missed Instructor Camp a lot.  This was the first time that I haven't gone to Instructor Camp.  I miss that community, where everything was easy to understand.

This morning I ate a delicious breakfast and then got ready fro my day. Today I biked 15 miles, equivalent to 5 miles of running. I basically spent most of the morning doing that, watching some TV, relaxing and doing chores. Later, me, my sister, and my dad put up a volleyball net in our backyard.  Then I played with my sisters and neighbor for 3 hours. We played outside and then went up in our treehouse to play board games. Dinner was relaxed and then we watched the Oscars. It’s super late now (almost 10) so I’m going to bed!

Today is largely uneventful. My family is at a birthday party. Do you ever just have plans that go terribly wrong. I have so many that end terribly for several reasons. Some of them are due to external circumstances. Others are due to my own terrible time management skills. This day was still fun.

First of all I went to the sparring class at north Charlotte it was really fun although it's supposed to be 2 hours I had to leave around one hour early and he was really nice about it!

So mic drop he is actually my half brother we have the same dad but not the same mom and know he is 33 so that's old compared to the fact that am his sister and I'm 10.

03/01/25 done Sunday

Sorry, I forgot to post on Saturday itself.  It was a very nice day, got outside again to enjoy the weather and do some exercising and do the requirements. I also sat outside and studied for the written test.  I also got to walk my neighbor's dog Shelby because her older dog we found out has cancer and will be put to sleep on Monday. This is sad because it makes me think of our old family dog that got sick several years ago.  We were outside last night too until the wind got too much.  I hope everyone got to enjoy their Saturday and I hope our instructor's had a good time at their instructor camp!

I'm so happy yesterday was Friday. I'm also happy that today (Saturday) I don't have to wake up early although I still have to do my requirements and do some chores outside. Last night me and my dad built a squishmallow fort but we didn't sleep in it cause it hurt his BACK!!! Anyway.......... I really should start writing my journals at the END of the day because I have nothing to write about because I obviously can't read the future. (Don't get me wrong that would be amazing but...)

Friday Journal Entry

Today I woke up early and went to semminary, and went to school afterward. Today was what our school calls a service day, and we took a bus to a farm and helped at the farm. I wasn't feeling that well so after school, we got back from the service project early, so I went home and rested. I had to skip track practice, and when I woke up I was feeling much better and went to karate class. I got all my exercises in and practiced forms, and I'm getting ready for instructors camp, getting food together for the day tomorrow. Good day, and looking forward to tomorrow!

When I got home I had a quick snack and went to Black Belt Class. Today we did board breaking, it was fun! After class I got a mentor session in. When I got home I had a delicious dinner and then played iPad. No Black Belt class tomorrow because of Instructor’s camp, so I get to sleep in. Night night!

I am going to be a t instructors camp. This will be fun. I like how in this world you can find everything. It's generally easy. I did my taekwando for today & I will be going to sleep early. People can be mad for the dumbest reasons sometimes. When they refuse to listen to reason or empathize it's hard but luckily you can always find an escape wherever you go. Hobbies, friend, & math is how I fill my time. How do you fill yours?

I stayed up a bit later than normal last night, and I'm probably going to do the same today.  If I can't sleep, I might as well spend some time studying for my Chinese test tomorrow.  I made it to Shoreview today.  Felt good to get some training in amid a very long week.  Tomorrow's first class is canceled, so I get to wake up an hour later.  Tonight, I have to work on homework and studying.

National Strawberry Day! 02/27/25

I'm not to sure what to do right now. Well i am going to write my journal but I mean about the fact the demo team is trying out and I want to join but I'm too scared I won't fit in. I've also never done something like this either so i don't know what to expect. But I might as well just go, you only live once. I got some running done today and me and my dad were driving to TKD for belt testing just to be caught in a long 35 minute trafic wait. Although I was a little late I managed to help out. I'm really tired but have to go do some studying for the written test so I can't sleep yet.

Thursday Journal Entry

My day started early at 5:30 leaving the house at 5:45 to be at seminary class by 6AM. That's my typical morning. After seminary I went to school, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I stay afterschool to get extra help. I left around 4 and got to track practice around 4:45, there was a lot of traffic. My practice drills included running 10 200m back to back. In practice between my drills and warmups I ran about 3miles. I went to Taekwondo after practice, and helped out with testing. I actually forgot, and I thought it was a regular Thursday, but it was good to help out. I still have dinner and homework to do. Long day, but good day.

Journal #46--2/27/25

In school today we had a test in literacy and nobody finished it.   Then we had math block where we did an escape room, we broke out but we were the 2nd team so we didn't win a prize.  Next, we had lunch went to recess I played soccer and we tied.  Then I rode the bus to King Tiger, its the last day of testing so we watched a movie! Me and Nixon ran before the movie.  We found something weird on the sidewalk during our run.  After the movie we watched Is it Cake?? Then we went to Olive Garden for dinner with Brien, and he did NOT have Olive Garden behavior, haha! We came home and got ready for bed.  Goodnight!

More bloody nose ):

So I wake up as usual and I then go to school and we litterly did nothing today so I just rode the car home since I have to get home very fast and my bus doesn’t really do that. I ate something then went to king tiger and I got there really early to lead the red belts for the running then I waited for testing to finish and I got back home and I started bleeding really badly out of my nose so it’s been about 1 and a half hours of bleeding out of my nose and it’s not any better. Ever since I got back from the trip to Korea I have had so many bleeding nose

Thursday

Today was fun though last night I only got like one hour of sleep because my ear was bothering me so much it hurt so bad I woke up and went to my parents room (although my mom wasn't home) my dad woke up and gave me some pain reliver but it did not work! When I couldn't take it anymore it was about 5 am then my dad came in cause he went to my bathroom to take a shower and try not to wake me up but I was already awake and struggling 🙃 😑 😐  But know I'm feeling much better! Today at school there was no tests! There was a fire drill and for the longest time my chrome book wasn't working so I didn't get to do chrome book free time but Tomorrow my teacher will let me cause everyone else got to.

On Tuesday I went to dance and piano 🎹  By the way if your wondering why I'm writing about Tuesday but the date is Thursday its because I completely forgot about Journaling. I didn't do it Wednesday or Thursday. OPPS!!🫣🫢🤫But that's why there is so many journals for today. Anyway at dance I'm the only person in that class so it was a pretty chill day!

Today was good. This morning me and my little sister had choir, which was really fun. At school most of 5th grade is on a trip at Washington DC, so it was a small, fun class. I also won a few games so I got some candy! When we got back we ran our mile and then I played on my iPad. Then we had dinner, which was SO good, and we played trivial pursuit with the hole family. Now I am getting ready for bed.

Today was a usual, normal day at school. I presented a project, and I’m proud of myself since I don’t like going up in front of a crowd. When we got home it was raining, but once it stopped I ran my mile on the local greenway. My grandma also is staying here for a few days, she got here today. I didn’t get to go to sparring tonight because of color belt testing. I’m really hoping I am able to get all of these classes in before the deadline. We ate a super good dinner and I played a game with my family. Now I’m getting ready for bed! Good night!

Almost to the end of the week

Well, halfway there.  I am once again writing this as I am about to go to a midnight gym session.  I have a little bit of homework left to do but I got most of it done.  My 7pm to 10pm class is a bit hard to sit through, since I'm not really the type of person who can sit through things for a long period of time without getting sleepy, even if it is a very interesting topic.  Also, I have a Chinese exam to study for, and it's on Friday.  Hopefully I will have better luck with that than I did with exams in the past 3 weeks.

National Pistachio Day! 02/26/25

Today I had work to do for my band. were going to MPA in a few days so I'm a little scared about that but also we had some professionals come in and I feel much betteer because they are also judges. I also signed up for my high school classes and have 2 honors classes that I believe I'll do just fine in. Otherwise I spent a good amount of time practicing my oboe and tryint to get a 905 or above on the assignments otherwise I can't go to MPA. Either way today was just boring with some requirements on the side. I hope everyone gets some fine sleep.

Wednesday Journal Entry

I went to seminary in the morning, I leave the house at 5:45AM to get there by 6. After seminary I went to school. Today the school day seemed to go by very fast today. It was a normal school day. After school I went to track practice. At practice we did drills which included a 45 second drill to see how far you can run in 45 seconds. During practice I got in about 2 miles. After practice I came home, and I'm still doing homework, and have to get my exercises in. I'll be doing exercises as soon as I get my school work done. Already had dinner, so I need to hurry so I can get to bed. Tomorrow it starts at 5:30AM again. Good day today.

Today was great, I was really happy that it was a half day. When we got picked up we went to go get boba, which was really really good. Then we went to a park and our sister met up with a friend there. After that we came home for a little bit, and I did my requirements and play on my iPad for a little bit. Then we went to watch our sister at testing, she is a high green now! After testing we celebrated with some chick fil a. Now I am getting ready for bed.♥

Today was a great day! It started out by me forgetting to snooze my alarm, so I slept in late. Today I had a math test and did super well! Today was also a half day at school. After school we all went to Kung Fu Tea. I got the mango boba tea (I always get that one because it’s soooo good 😋) Right after that we went to a playground/park to meet up with my little sister’s friend. We stayed there for about an hour before heading home to get ready, and leave for, testing. In this time I got my requirements done. My littlest sister tested today for a high green belt (she got to skip a belt or two because she’s almost 9) To celebrate aftwards we want to Chick-Fil-A for dinner. However, after we got home, we realized that they messed up our order. I ended up...
