02/08/2025

Started my Saturday with black belt class as usual. When I got home, I went to the dentist to find out that the appointment was actually for next week, but it was okay because we just went to eat instead. We did a little trip to Costco and then looked at some cars. When we made it home again, I took a long nap then did my chores.

SONG WRITING IS SO FUN BUT I AM STRUGGLING!!!

Still sick, I am currently extremely nauseous and have a huge stomachache. But I would like to not make this, once again, short journal focus on my flu pains throughout the entire day, because that would turn this journal into a Michael Crichton novel.    CHAMPIONS!   So the musical I am currently writing is called 'CHAMPIONS', which is a Hamilton and Epic inspired musical. The musical follows six warriors who are placed in a gladiator arena and have to fight to the death for the audience's entertainment. I have finished the first song, which is the intro song, and I am working on the second. I do already have some people who are already wanting to audition, which I am so grateful for. The music, so far, I am very proud of, and I am so excited when I am able to start promoting this musical. I have a YouTube...

So I didn't purposely wake up at 4 am today instead my sick body overheated and I woke up DRENCHED in sweat I felt like I just went swimming or something so I went and got a snack then went back to sleep. Since im very sick I sleeped till 9:00 and decided to just not go to class and not completely shut down my body and so when I woke up I just relaxed in my bed a bit longer then had some breakfast and just didn't really do much the entire day because I felt really lightheaded and now im feeling way better, almost my normal self. Off topic but my leg is really bothering me my right knee like it's been screwed up for a while and I think I need some compression tape for it anyways good night!

Today was a nice and chill Saturday. Last night I went to my school dance, it was super fun but left me very tired. Therefore, it was hard to get up early this morning. I went to black belt class and from there we went to Chick-Fil-A. I got a KeyLime Sunjoy Lemonade, it was delicious! For the rest of the day, I just relaxed and watched TV, played on my iPad, started a knitting project and did lots of drawing in my notebook! I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend!

My Saturday

Later I ran 2 miles at the Rec Center, I got in about an hour work out after my run. The rest of the day I spent resting at home. I got 2 new 25lb bumper plates delivered also!

Today was a good Saturday! Started the day with Black Belt class and it was good. Then my family went to Raleigh for the Carolina Hurricanes hockey game. It was a great game, Canes won 7 to 3 over Utah.  This is my second Canes game since Christmas and both have been wins. I'm looking forward to more.  I hope tomorrow is good weather so I can get outside before Dad starts watching the Super Bowl.  Have a good night!

Today I had 2 bochos helping wit my JT class. One of them led warm ups and both helped the kiddos with their kicking and punching. Then I had a great mentor session working on  bocho one steps, knife, and 1st Dan one  steps. I’m feeling a little better about all my defense, not confident, yet, but better. Looking forward to training at the park and possibly take a couple laps.

Rage

Took my anger out on some weights at the gym once again yesterday.  I was hungry and had no sleep, but that's all I could do.  Classes were a blur again.  I went to an ice hockey game with my friend.  We celebrated but I had to go up to bed because to be honest I was going to drag the party down with my issues.  Woke up this morning to go to class, and that has currently been the one good thing that has happened all week.  I got in another gym session right after class and getting forms and stuff done. The black belt cycle became an afterthought this week.  But yesterday and today, this was the only thing that could distract me from everything.  I needed this to have some sense of direction and purpose. Today I am going to a Lunar New Year event.  I was one...

Journal #27--2/8/25

This morning mom woke me up early because we had a longer drive because we were at Brien's last night.  When we got to KT we had a special 1st dan and up class where we did knife self defense and 1st dan self defense.  Then when everyone else got there we started normal black belt class.  After black belt class I helped out with the 9:30 class (IT WAS HUGE).  Next I went home and had breakfast then we took Anthony to help with an Eagle Scout project.  I sanded my Pinewood derby car!  Then I cleaned my bathroom and watched some Youtube.  We are about to head back to pick Anthony and head back to Brien's.

Today I went to an internship fair, it wasn’t too interesting. I did talk to people I usually don’t interact with though, so that was a good part of my day. I spent most of my time outside and I think that it shouldn’t be that hot in February. I took a long nap when I got home.

My Medical Update

I had a seizure on Sunday, I was told that I was out of it for about 15 seconds. I went to the emergency room, and I had all sorts of tests, and after a long time there they said I tested positive for Influenza A. They told me that a seizure is like a computer rebooting, and that's what happens to your brain, it reboots. Because of that I had to go through a head scan, and I have to go back to follow-up. I didnt think the flu would make me have a seizure but the doctors said that Influenza causes all sorts of weird things to go wrong in your body so that was the reason for the seizure. Something like that never happened to me before. I've been home all week, mostly in bed resting and taking medicine for fever. All of this happened Sunday which was...

EVERYBODY IS ILL AND WE NEED TO BURN THE PLAGUED!!!!

So firstly, I have the flu, which means for the past two days I have been sleeping, vomiting, gaming, repeat until the day is over. I am not only extremely upset by the fact I cannot work the job I love and make money, but the fact I missed a huge math test that I didn't study for and still plan not to study for because I hate myself :D.   SO YES ITS ANOTHER SHORT JOURNAL BUT WHAT AM I GONNA WRITE ABOUT?!   Like seriously, besides the fact I am writing a musical right now and the first song is almost done being written, what else is there to say. Oh I guess I did audition for a role in a horror short film two weeks ago and I got a message saying I got the role of the character Milo, who is terrified of the dangerous spirit haunting...

Sick day

I woke up ready to finish this week off, I did my homework first thing. After I finished that I went to school. I was feeling a little bit fatigued for the first couple hours of school,  then when I went to science class I strarted feeling really really horrible, so I asked my dad if he could pick me up early from school. After I got picked up early I rested until I went to black belt class.  Class was definitely a bit rough today  but I made it through. Once I got home I was feeling pretty bad but I had dinner  and played uno with my family. Now I am just going to lay in bed and rest while watching some tv.  Good Sleeps!

Pain

It's interesting how there are days where surreal things do in fact happen out of the blue, but more often than not, they are outlandish in a bad way.  The days where things that are surreal in a good way are much fewer, and much more far between.  Surreal things that we want to see often take a lot of work to achieve.  They don't just happen out of nowhere, and they unfortunately are fewer and farther between.  Things that are outlandishly bad that you don't want to believe happen just happen.  And they're way more frequent.  And the work comes after, to try to make things go back to normal.  Although, normal is a relative term.  The normal that I had here so far has been pretty short, depending on how you define it.  If I am to define it from when I was anticipating Tiger Claw and the demo,...

National Chopstick Day. 02/06/25

Today was pretty boring. I got a bunch of my thing done today and still have a very huge headache and sore throat. Some people are sick at my school or starting to get sick so I hope everyone gets better because most of them are the people who make you happy and make you laugh after a long day of nothing but work. I had a lot of trouble with my leg today and just now pulled my neck so it hurts to tilt my head left. Like most people on cycle right now I'm very tired and I think I might be catching whatever's going around. I just really want some sleep right now or a day off. Each is nice. But other than that I think I had a okay day, I hope everyone is getting better and staying safe!

Today I got a jump start with my physical requirements in the morning.  At school we spent time tuning our instruments in band class.  In 4 days a clinician will come and watch us play and grade us. In science we are studying the ISS and we are learning about ancient Rome in social studies. When I got home, I ran 2 miles and finished up the rest of my physical requirements.

I’m really not sure what to write about this evening. My feet really hurt, being a teacher, I’m on them all day. I only sit down at lunch, when I’m planning with my team, or pulling a small group. I could really use a good foot massage. The good thing is tomorrow is Friday. I’m going to go to Harrisburg for sparring and possibly black belt class too !?!?

So today I went to school. My first subject today was PE. I'm starting indoor soccer. Also. PE was very fun. Then after PE I went to mass. We're learning integers in math. Also, my other subject was English. We're writing our personal narrative. She gave me some things to work on but I was able to make some fixes. Hopefully I'll get it right next time. And then I went to taekwondo when I got home. Went to basketball luckily to make it to the taekwondo. A friend had to take me but he was able to did black belt and then came home. How the little snack went to bed and that's my day

Tough morning

Really stiff and sore after last night's sparring and black belt classes.  I normally do a few rounds of push ups and sit ups as well as poomsae and self defense practice early in the morning.  Today I just stretched for 30 minutes.  Felt great, but will have to spend time tonight on all of the requirements.

World Nutella Day - 2/5/25

What a long day! I went to school and came home with a bit of homework which I did before going to TKD class. I worked on my physical requirements, held a mentee session, helped lead a class and got a few more credits thanks to Master Evins and the work I did at the jr instructor camp last weekend. After class, I came home to more homework and to finish my memoir that needs to be turned in tomorrow. I am exhausted and going to bed. Nighty night. PS - my mom made some pretzel bread today which was delish. I am going to try to make it myself and bring it to class next Monday. Get ready! #Bread4

2/5/25 Long day!!!

Today I woke up later than I wanted to so couldn't get my usual done for the physical requirements.  I usually split them and do some in the morning and some in the evening. We reviewed "A jubilant spirit" in band class.  I successfully hoola-hooped in gym (that's embarrassing).  I ran my fastest mile so far today in my neighborhood, did some of my physical requirements, then went to King Tiger.  I did a mentee session, a sparing class, black belt class, and a mentor session. I am finishing up my physical requirements for the day, eating, showering and getting to bed...it's been a long day!

Today was another normal day. I had a few quizzes in school today and practiced my skit with my friends for tomorrow. Tomorrow I also have a math test, I hope I do well! When we got home, instead going to the gym, we took a 2 mile walk on the greenway by our house. I am loving the beautiful, sunny days we've been having lately. Then I quickly got ready for TKD. Today I had my first mentee meeting and got 2 leadership credits in. Now I'm doing some homework, finishing chores, and getting ready for bed.

BEST DAY OF THE WEEK

So I finally feel better like my sore throat ain't that bad no more and my left eye doesn't hurt and even though I woke up a bit late today I was able to get my homework done and go to school. School wasn't that bad like I didn't do much execpt in gym our pacer test was today and I got a 75 which is 35 higher than what I got last time. I didn't do much in the rest of my classes but I had a sub for history! So I didn't have to take notes today for an hour straight. I came home and then went to King Tiger and then went home and showered so my day was a 7/8 overall. Good night

Journal - Day 10

Good evening, everyone! This week has been good. I've finally been catching up on some work I've been procrastinating on for a while now. It feels so good to finally finish work that you've been needing to do for a long time. I didn't go to Tae Kwon Do today, so I was able to finish off a bunch of my requirements and assignments. I am mainly focusing on getting my creative put together as of now, but I still have some time left. I have two tests tomorrow and a long day ahead, but I hope to make the most out of it. I am very excited because I only have around 3 more days of my diet challenge to be over. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Today I got up and got ready for school.   I had 2 pop tarts as we walked to school. When we got to the cross walk this morning we started to cross and there was an old lady who was still going pretty fast but had waved us across and she still hadn't stopped when we were about to walk in front of her car but she waved again, like we were going to slow.  Mom wasn't very happy and yelled (she said a cuss word) at her as she grabbed my arm and sorta pushed me out of the way.  At school we did blocks, it was a normal day.  Then I rode the bus to KT.  I ran with Carter and Nixon today, then had class and did a mentee session.  I finished off my pull ups for the week and did some requirements.  I also did some of...

I’ve never been a fan of sparring, the only reason I’m going is because it’s required for the cycle. After I get my days in, no more for me. That goes for burpees too. I don’t like them. I’m also short on patience today…. off to feed my kitty. See you in black belt class.

Impact

Today I woke up and went to class.  Couldn't focus on the class much.  Had stuff I was dealing with yesterday.  I realized I needed to change my Chinese lab schedule, but I then promptly had to change it back after realizing that this one wasn't going to work.  Guess things are going back to business as usual.  Well, hopefully without distractions, that is.  I got a lot of homework to keep myself busy.  That and Martial Arts Club.  Didn't exactly make it to Shoreview today.  Had a lot to do.  Yesterday left me a lot to do.

I HAVE RETURNED WITH DA COFFEE

So (sips coffee aggressively), after the unfortunate illness that decided to form throughout my body yesterday, I am back with a RANT GIRLIES!   THE NEW SLANG DON'T MAKE SENSE!   I need this new slang explained (oh my lord I sound so old reading back on this). I feel like I am losing any sense of braincells when I hear some of these kids talk in a "normal" conversation. Not only are some of these new slang terms, words, and phrases extremely annoying to listen to, but every single kid I have asked about the definition of the new slang cannot even define the new slang without using the word in the definition or literally cannot even provide a definition. Now, I don't know about y'all, but slang should just be a quick way to get something common across, or juts is a phrase that inflicts comedic affect CONSISTENTLY! Unfortunately,...

When I got to KT I did bbc stuff and helped out with class, ran with Carter and did a Mentor session with Master Chelley, that ended up being with Sri because Master Chelley had to do a make up testing that she thought was tomorrow (oops!!).  Then we got Wendy's on the way to scouts.  At scouts we got our pinewood derby cars and got them cut. Hopefully this year my car will be really fast. We only have 2.5 weeks to get it ready!  Now I am headed to bed.

National Stuffed Mushrooms Day - 2/4/25

Stuffed mushrooms? Gross. Do people actually eat those things? Anyway, today was a long day. I had a terrible headache after school and a ton of homework so i wasnt able to go to TKD class. I have to write a 4 page memoir for school and decided to write about my first black belt cycle experience. It's pretty fun to share and a good reminder that hard work pays off. So I'll keep working hard on this cycle too. Remember everyone - all our hard work will pay off! Keep going.

How difficult is it to bring up a trash bin….you literally walk by it to walk the dogs….. school was ok. We still have a teacher out and hopefully she will be back tomorrow. My mentee wasn’t at class tonight, but I did manage to get credit for helping some yellow belts with their self defense. Then I stayed for the 7:15 class.  Time for a shower before I turn into a pumpkin. Glad I have half day planning tomorrow.

Today I had to get up earlier than usual to get to school. At school it was a fairly normal day, I have to put on a short play for my social studies class on Thursday, so we practiced that. It's about the Industrial revolution and traditional, Market economies. After school was the usual routine with going to the gym and running. When I got home, I played iPad because I didn't do double classes today. At class I got a leadership credit in. Tomorrow, I have my first mentee meeting, finally.

Class pet

Today we got a 6 month old guinea pig! She is so cute! Now we have 2 guinea pigs, one fish and over 3 snails as are class pets! They are all so adorable especially the guinea pigs. The one we had first was donated from one of my class mates and her name is Princess, but we have named the 6 month old yet for now we are calling her little one. The fishes name is Buba because his mouth always goes buba buba. We have to many snails to name them all so we call them all Shelly.🐹🐟🐹🐚🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐚

Falling

Today was a drag.  The last part of today was a drag.  I just spent 6 hours dealing with things I wish I didn't have to deal with.  I was going to check out the Creative Writing club, but I couldn't bring myself to go.  I couldn't really bring myself to do much after 6 today.  Some of the stuff from last semester is starting to affect this one.  And now I'm sick of falling down.

Hey y'all, I am feeling extremely sick and nauseous right now, so I cannot squeeze out a elongated journal today. Hopefully I am better when I wake up so I do not feel so ill. I will see y'all later.

It’s been a rough day, I woke up feeling a little bit better and I lasted until 4pm. I got my braces off though, it’s nice to be without these hunks of metal in my mouth. However, I do have to wear a retainer full-time for a week.

Today I continued with my routine of getting some of my physical requirements completed in the morning before school.  This makes it easier in the evening to get everything done plus classes and school work. Today we had a sub for Reading class, we worked on endless paper assignments.  I showed up to Tae Kwon Do class early to work on my poomsae.

National Golden Retriever Day! 02/03025

#Bread3 Was a total success! A lot of people seemed to like it! I liked making the blueberry cream cheese prosses a lot more and I learned some new techniques like flouring the blueberry's so they don't sink and folding them so they don't smush. Over all today was a rather fine day. I was nice out and I got some running and requirements done and I just had a really peaceful day. I'm super tired from all this work and I am soooooooo ready for a four day weekend. I started on a little gift for master one of my masters so I'm super excited to finish it! I hope everyone is having a good 4th week and I hope that you guys all get some goood rest!

Today is the last day before Monday. I have to run 3 miles which I did in 30 minutes. I enjoy the running because I have an iPod which as a 32-bit device can handle 2 tb of storage. The news is crazy with cutbacks & measures across the board due to the president.

This morning, I was still super tired from the weekend and not ready for Monday... but it was okay. I had a test in ELA today and I feel pretty good about it. Straight from school I went to the gym to run and do requirements. When I got home I had about 45 minutes to eat some quick dinner and get ready for taekwondo. I got a mentor meeting in, finally arranged my first meeting with my mentee and got a leadership credit. Now I am getting ready for bed.

Journal #22--2/3/25

So when I woke up I got ready and walked to school.  At school we did blocks and had recess and today was game day (soccer).  Me and my friend Calvin had to play good if we want to get into our friends group.  I think I did good, I hope so at least!  Then at the end of the day I rode the bus to KT and did my bbc stuff, Carter and I ran and did pull ups.  I also got both leadership credits this evening at the 515 class.  I also got to try some of Graceyn's bread...it was REALLY good!  Finally we went home and had dinner and then I took a shower.  I am working on the test for a little bit then I am going to bed.  #BREAD

Yay….another day of fun. Had a teacher out which means we had to disperse.  Found time to do my requirements at school during recess by walking the field perimeter with some of my students. Tried calling my dad again today, and left another message….he usually calls me back, but hasn’t yet. Getting a little worried.  Hubby tried to help me do a pull up today, but that won’t look good on an ‘end of cycle physical’…..sooooono pulls ups for me. My cardiologist says..no.

THE PLAUGED MUST BE BURNED ALONG WITH THE ROTTING!!!!

Ok so before I get the cops called on me, I am NOT a serial killer. I have no intentions (currently :D) to commit a vile crime on the life of another. However, to explain this title and to not be arrested before I can even find a tolerable human being I just decide to spend the rest of my life with,   THE CHILDREN ARE SICK WHICH MEANS I AM NEXT?!   So, my sister during Jr. Instructors camp came down with a viral illness that caused her so much pain that it put her and myself into tears. She vomited and was to exhausted and ill to the point where she had to leave Jr. Instructors camp early. So, she got to suffer in a comfortable bed while I spent the overnight stay fighting with my near un-chargeable computer (I think the charger be broken me lads) juts to...

I've had a lot of fun today but had some disappointment when I realized I didn't do my requirements today... Today was pretty chill. I woke up at around 10:05 and had some pineapple for breakfast. (I'm starting the 30 day nutrition challenge) Today was my grandma's birthday! (Love you grandma <3) I also went shopping today, mostly cause my sister wanted some new clothes, I didn't get much just some gum and a drink. Then right after my family had dinner at a diner at about 4pm, It was a little early. On my way back home I grabbed some ingredients for my bread for tomorrow, the flavor is a secret for all my...

Journal #21--2/2/25

When I woke up this morning I got on the switch and played some Pokemon.  After that we had to get ready to leave Brien's and head to church.  We had Bojangles on the way to church.  I went to Sunday school and then mom had nursery but no kids came so we went over to church.  Today is the 1st Sunday so it was communion day.  At the end of the service me and another kid got to split the left over bread!  Then we headed home and had lunch.  I did my bbc stuff and relaxed an played some more games on my switch.  I had dinner a little while ago and took a shower now I am heading to bed.

I'm glad that this morning I could get up without any alarm. It felt good to get some rest after a long day/night. Today was a pretty relaxed day, I was still super tired, so we didn't do much. My mom made us a delicious breakfast and after that I spent some time playing outside and getting some requirements in. Around 3:00 I had to say bye to my dad; he's going on a business trip until Thursday... I miss him. Then, my sisters and I played with our neighbor for the first time in a few weeks. Then we ate dinner and tonight we're watching the Grammy's.

So as the cycle continues, I have my curriculum sticker, that we never received, that is more like a list of things I need to be able to do. Working one of the other black belts, he came up with a great idea…make a list with 3 check boxes…..1st box, I know it. 2nd box, I can do it. 3rd box,I’m confident. I have a lot of work to do. I’m jealous of anyone that has someone they can work / practice with at home….because I don’t.  ps…I still despise burpees. They are horrible.
