Big day tommorow

I am really excited for tomorrow because we have the community service and also the new Harrisburg TKD School. I can't wait to help out for the community service because you could help people in need. Also about the new school, I'm going to go there very soon. A lot of people from the North Charlotte students are going to call me a traitor but I have to do it.

Journal 14

today was normal. again. sometimes i feel like i'm trapped in the same hamster wheel running the days over and over again. but enough about that. today was so weird for some reason. it's not really about the things that happened during my day, but more like the feeling. it was weird for some reason. i don't know why. some people were randomly sad and happy, and it was strange. and that's it. all I have to say about my day. I can't come to community service tomorrow because I have another thing that goes all day. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is, so don't bother asking. So, in conclusion, goodbye.

Journal 30 February 1st, 2019

Today was a very, uh, interesting day today. First when I was going to school, there was this big accident that literally happened right across the street from us with a car hitting a truck. Then my homeroom/English teacher brought in all these National Geographic magazines from the 70's. Then later in the day this kid in my Astronomy class breaks his Chromebook, oops. Today just had a weird feeling to it.

To be learned

It feels I haven't journaled in a while. Been so crazy busy with working my old business, and helping Master Knight with the new school. Our new water cooler came in yesterday, so I installed that. Some signs came in so I hung that. Some kicking bags came in so I kicked that. I have been trying to learn more about social marketing so I won't look like some major idiot when our Marketing guy starts talking about Pixels, seo, tagss. and about thousand other terms I don't know yet. So, I downloaded a book on it and hopefully it can learn me. Wish me luck! Stay groovy cycle dudes and dudettes!

TGIF

It has been a very good but busy work... more for work than anything. We had three days of management sessions discussion our 2019 plans and strategy at work. Basically it is work hard and more than last year... which is typically the message. However, I think we are being a little smarter on how we are going after the  market this year. We have good plans, but lets see how we execute on them. I am excited. We are basically right in the center of the testing cycle if you count the pre-cycle in terms of days. I am feeling pretty good about most items. Working with Master Marcus on Staff Form 2 and Bolo Form... I am starting to get it down. Minor mistakes and making changes. I will be ready. I continue to listen to Grandmaster Evins video on Facebook. It is inspirational... basically this is hard so...

Had a good day, I was able to get homework out of the way pretty quickly, then went to taekwondo. I got a lot of sparring round in which was nice. I cleaned out my brother's turtle's tank and changed the filter, I'm watching over her while he's at college. My AP Human Geography test went well but I think I could have done better. Other than that I'm just settling down for bed, tomorrow's Friday so I'm excited about that.

5 minutes at a time

Hey folks, From watching Grand Master Evins video on Facebook, it seems some folks might be losing heart. If you are reading this and are dreading one more push up, pomsae, or self defense, rest assured you are not alone. Sometimes knowing that we are all struggling and have those moments of "Why am I doing this?" really helps. Let me tell you, once you pull through that tunnel and start seeing the light, and realize it's not a train, then it all becomes worth it. Remember, this isn't something that is a chore on your daily lists of things to do. This is a personal challenge to yourself that if you dig deep enough, there is nothing you can't do. A few lessons I learned during my Air Force days was don't worry about tomorrow, focus on what the next five minutes brings. I have been pushed to what I...

January 31

This is the last day of January and I am sort of dreading February for some reason. I don't know why but I've never liked February and it always seems dismal and cold to me. In class today we did this thing where you read an article on something random so I looked up string theory which I though was cool. String theory is a basic physics theory that could explain why atoms stick together. It could, if proven to be true, could explain dark matter and other things in space we really know nothing about. Anyways that was day.

Finally got a decent night's sleep last night, I have an AP Human Geography test tomorrow which I just finished studying for so I'm a little stressed out about that. On the other hand, I had a French test today and I think that went well. I've hit an impasse playing guitar, I'm having a really difficult time with barre cords, specifically when trying to play the song, "Stairway to Heaven." I've been working at it though and I believe I'm improving; practice makes perfect!

A day of suspense.....

This week my high school is supposed to get searched by some team of 20 people, in which they search our bookbags, and us, taking about 4-6 hours. It hasn't happened all week so it really thought it would happen today, but it still didn't. So that means that were going to have tomorrow on a Friday, so basically I won't be doing anything school related on Friday. However today I was kinda disappointed, expecting to happen.

Injured!

not the best start to the morning.   Went to the gym with some friends. Today was chest day so a lot of pushups and bench pressing. Before ending my workout, I was knocking out 185 on the bench press. One of my friends thought it would be a nice joke to yank off a 45 off of the left end of the bar. Once he did, the right side of the bar came crashing down on my arm. Didn't break or tear anything, but in a lot of pain. Had to wear an arm brace for the entire day, even at TKD. Might be on it for a few more days too. If some of you remember Master Aurbach, he went through years of TKD with only one arm. So I didnt have any excuses to not come to class today. it was interesting to figure out how to change...

So it turns out that I did miss some drama in art class while I was gone. So you know those dresses that I mentioned a while ago that we are making, well were in groups of four. So yesterday when I was in History, one of the girls in my group asked if I had switched groups. I told her no, and I had no idea where that came from. So then this morning when I was in Science, one of the girls in the other group, we'll call her A, she told me that a girl from her group, lets call her M, apparently SWITCHED PLACES with me and M is in my group and I am in A's group. I was like oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So then later in math A was in that class. I asked why Im in her group and...

hello again. i didn't have time to journal yesterday so we're going to journal twice today. I just got back from school. The usual. I'm going to taekwondo in about an hour. And I have all of my homework done, so that's good. Life is good. And that's all. But I vaguely remember Master Evins saying that it had to be a paragraph or more, so I'm going to research a weird fact on the internet for more content on this blog. One second. FUN FACT: In England, The Speaker of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom is not allowed to speak. I'm going to go get started on my requirements. See you guys in an hour or two when I journal again.

Stupid, right? So I'm going to ask tomorrow, and if I get rejected, welp, that's my fault. I shouldn't have been so dumb. Class was fine. I did a mentor session after that. Also fine. I am going to go to sleep now, good night everyone and have a good day tomorrow.

Tuesday

It is was good day at work. We had some strategic sessions with the leadership, and it was fairly productive. I find that there are so many people that are just passive about things. It is important to talk thought items and raise issues, and just get it out there for discussion. I think some people do not like conflict or debate, and so with 30+ people in the room, there were about 6 people that continued to ask questions and had information to share. I was one of those. I like to challenge myself and others, even if it means I get actions from the discussion. I came back to my mother-in-laws house and did some exercises and requirements. It was a good way to end a stressful day. Keep moving!!!!

Senior year of college is no joke...

Last year of college and already I've been bombarded with exams and 15 page essays. Been at school since 7:30 am and just got home for the day. Next couple of weeks will be even more hectic with family and more exams. Despite it all, I have been able to keep up to date with my requirements, but journaling not so much. Nevertheless, that will change this week. Eager to get through this cycle with no trouble at all.

School is finally starting to calm down and I'm able to relax instead of slave over poster boards and online charts. I started watching my neighbor's adorable dog while they're away.

This wee has been very busy. From going to Disney, to coming home and doing hours upon hours of homework. I haven't had much time to do much of anything. Also do you know the things like "Oh I missed one day of school and I missed 4 essays, fights, and all that." Well its true. I missed maybe 3 days of school and I come back to having a test tomorrow which I didn't know about, 12 math video notes due also tomorrow, and I missed all the "drama" at the lunch table. I missed a lot.

Spar one, spar all

This morning on the way to sparring class, I received a text from Grand Master Evins asking me to teach sparring. Always keeping me on my toes and challenging me. I love that! That is one of my most favorite classes to teach or participate. Hopefully the class had a good workout and got something out of it. As I finally start to grow up, I can safely say that all the things I thought I had figured out, I don't. That is today's lesson to myself. Keep learning, keep growing, aim high and bow low. Humility is the key to knowledge and progression. Had an awesome time in black belt class. Always a great class with Master Chelley Hartle. After class I was hoping to work more on the new Do Jong, but we had a meeting with friends for our schools fund raiser which somehow I got stuck on....

hello and monday i'm not saying happy monday because that would be a lie. it's a well known fact that everyone hates mondays. and sometimes you feel sorry for monday because it can be good sometimes, but most of the time you just wanna whack it with a baseball bat. today was normal. wake up. school. home. requirements. homework. that's basically all i did today. in other notes, i read a story about how someone used their washer as a salad spinner. i mean, it's a good concept, but in terms of sanitization and being clean, it's gross because the washer is where you clean your used clothes. you'd be eating used clothes salad. gross. so that's it. have a monday. not a happy monday. just a monday.

Got our Tree

Nate and I got our Cyprus trees today. I took some time to think about the significance of the tree. It is something for us to nurture and take of, which takes times and patience. I think that this could be related to our learning of Tae Kwon Do... it takes time and patience, and I also think it take the patience of our keepers (in this case our Masters and Instructors) to take the time to teach us and be patient as we learn. Not trying to read too far into it, but I think this is getting us more ready to be Instructors and teachers to others. Keep Moving!!!

Today Sara and I were woken up by Anna at 3 am. She had a fever, chills and a headache. By morning she felt a little better but was exhausted from the long night. Charlie also felt under the weather. I left the house at 6 and got home from work at 7pm to hear the days sick events. They both look like they don't feel well. I quickly did my exercises while watching the end of the Lego movie. We are all headed to bed. Hopefully this is a quick illness for them.

I have had a really stressful week, so today being pretty calm was a really nice change of pace. I slept in, ate, then went to go get my plant for the cycle. With help from my mom I was able to find a shrub that will hopefully be in bloom around the time we plant them. My mom and I then went out to do some other chores, while we were out we saw an old family friend that we hadn't seen in a while, it was nice catching up. I'm just settling down for bed now, prepared to start school again tomorrow.

Sara came home from work late morning, which was a great surprise. As she arrived, we(Charlie, Anna, the two dogs, and I) were headed out for a jog. On the way back, Sara was headed out, so I thought I would go a little further with her. Turned into a little more distance than I anticipated. Worked out in the end. After the run, Will and I went to Lowes for a door knob and some other stuff. Will convinced me that a trip to Target was needed to buy a small set of needed Legos.

Missed Class

Today I woke up at my friend's house because we were having a sleepover. Then my mom picked me up so I could go get a haircut. The haircut took too long for us to make it to saturday black belt class so we skipped it. The good thing is i already took enough saturday black belt classes so it did not do any bad for me.

Rooms at the Inn

I did the rooms at the inn again. It was another great experience. It was fantastic to meet these awesome men and hear their stories. These are just other human beings that need love. Our society sometimes cases them away and we need to actually pull them in. They deserve our love and it is amazing how love changes people. We call want to be wanted... so think about that next time you see someone on the street. Keep Moving!!!

January 25

Today I get to have a sleepover with my friend who goes to my school and also is on the black belt cycle. Ritika is spending the night then we will drop her off at sparring/black belt class. Today was a pretty decent day, I got to kickboxing class which is interesting and definitely a work out. That class gives me 30 sparring rounds and its really helping since I don't have much time at home to work on those.

Vacation

I  went to Vegas and LA the past week. And honestly I am kind of sad because 1) I didn't get to see Shawn Mendes and 2)  I had gotten souvenirs for my close friends, and now we can't find them. On the bright side, I started reading The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, and it so good! It has a little bit of romance and a little bit of adventure...basically the perfect novel.

Enter the Masters

Today, we had the first Tae Kwon Do class in the Harrisburg school. We had the Masters training in our school and it was wickedly bodacious. What an honor to have so much knowledge in one location. It was great getting the ideas and suggestions on what to tweak to improve. We did miss the main man of King Tiger, Grand Master Evins, who is probably working out as you read this. We still have a way to go, but it's getting there. I have mixed emotions of February 2nd. A part of me hopes time will stop for a few days to get more done, and the other part wants smack the big red button and let it begin! Thank you all who have helped promote this. Even just liking or sharing our page and posts does so much. Nothing great is ever accomplished alone. Love, peace and chicken grease....

Thursday

Today I worked with my mentee, helped a class, took my regular class and later took sparring class. Whenever we have short weeks they always feel longer then regular weeks tome and today went by slowly. I usually take sparring class on Saturdays, but because I was in Hilton Head last weekend I had to make up for it today.

Hello, Tod...

Hello, Today went by like a blur. After waking up I headed to work for meetings, then it seamed like everyone needed something that I didn't anticipate. Therefore, I was there longer than anticipated. I then I went and got all three kids their first savings account. Long overdue. Time to teach them about responsible saving. Then off to kick boxing, and black belt class, my favorite part of the day. However, about to sit down to Chinese food and a movie with the kids, it might turn into my favorite part of the day.
