Entry #23

Today was kind of busy. Civil Engineering and Architecture was pretty relaxed, but English was not. I had a project due for English, along with an assignment from several pages from our novel. In addition to that, I had to create a presentation for TSA to give to the Academy of Engineering, which took me about two hours from my online classes in 3rd and 4th period. I also had a significant amount of physics work to catch up on. Overall, however, the presentation went great and I am finishing up my work.

Then after that we cleaned up more of the house and we then finished at 9:00. Then we ate dinner and we went for bed. During the clean up house we did the hall the entire place down stairs.

Black Belt Testing

So, I was really nervous for testing on for Friday night, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was very long, as expected, but since I knew everything I needed to, it was pretty easy. I messed up a few times from my nerves, but I kept going. The longer I was there, the less intimidating it was and the less nervous I became. The night, or morning, ended great.

Tests

Today, I had a math test in calculus II. Tomorrow, I have a test in computer science. Studying for these tests have been difficult. However, I've been studying for them like I have for the written test for the cycle; I put all of the information in a Google Sheets document, and view them every now and then. This technique has served me well!

last one

Yes I still have no idea for a title but this time it has some relevance to the subject. So this is my last post for the cycle I would have done on yesterday but I forgot and was just to tired to care. I thought it went pretty well. So I got to go bye.

Stick Seminar

I enjoyed myself at the stick seminar earlier today. Not only did I learn new techniques, but I learned ways to apply them in fights. What I learned with the sticks can also apply to hand-to-hand; after all, the sticks are merely extensions of our bodies. Many of the strikes and blocks we do with them can be done without them. In a normal fight, I'm most likely going to be without my short sticks, so it's important for the techniques to carry over.

Community Service

It had been several years since I learned how to do CPR. This was a good experience for me. I'm glad that I could potentially use the knowledge I am learning at King Tiger to potentially save lives. What we learn is very situational, but being able to defend yourself in a fight and perform CPR are very important skills to have.

Entry #22

Tonight is testing, and I am nervous but calm. I've been through it once before, and although many people may disagree, it's really not that hard. I have been working on my requirements for the past 14 weeks, and I know all of my stuff. I don't want to be overconfident, but I know I've got this, and I know everyone else has, too. Good Luck to Everyone! See you on the other side.

Daily Journal #35: Trying to Calm Nerves

I know it's been a while since I've written a journal entry since I have already written my 30, but I figured that it would be fitting to give an update since the overnight test is tomorrow. Lately at school I have been swamped with school work as it is nearing the end of the first quarter, and I have had to miss 2 cross country practices this week because of it. I know I have prepared as much as I could have for the test to tomorrow, but I am still very nervous about it because of how much this test means to me. I have wanted to become a black belt ever since I was little, long before I had even heard of King Tiger, and I just don't want to mess it up when I have my opportunity to succeed. Is it possible to over-practice for this? I...

TESTING TOMORROW

Testing is tomorrow and I am so hyped to go. This cycle in my opinion was the fastest one ever. The reason is probably because I have done it for a long time and I am used to it. Again I feel that I am going to crush it and all the others will too. I wish everyone good luck and a good testing tomorrow. Thats it for tonight see you tomorrow.

One day closer to Halloween! Today I have to go to tae kwon do at 4:15 and then to dance at 6 and back to tkd at 7:30. I also didn't have school today. At 11 this morning, I went to get my passport renewed because I'm going to Costa Rica next year. Costa Rica is a school trip we are taking over spring break in 2019. I'm so excited to learn about their culture, and to try the new foods. We are also doing community service by helping build houses.

Another Day

One more day closer. Did some TKD practice today with Katherine and the boys to help them get ready for their test and then worked on mine. Getting nervous. A little too much thinking with my Poomsaes. This slows me down. Actually forgot a step in Oh Chang. Duh, Cannot believe it. But I still have confidence in myself.

journal 26: (insert title)

Usually, I'm creative with titles but today I just stole Andre's idea and just put insert title because I have nothing. Legit nothing. Today was good. My sister had a field trip, and I had to go to school early to drop her off. So I spent 30 or so minutes outside waiting for the school to open its doors. I got a good grade on my math test, and I really am bad at volleyball. I am okay at contour line drawings, and I have social studies homework. And that's all.

10/2

Today is one of my best friend Harry's birthday. I don't know what I'm getting him yet tough. Anyway, we have off of school Thursday, Friday, and Monday for fall break. This means that all the teachers are cramming our lessons into this half week. I have 2 tests and 2 projects due tomorrow that I started tonight. We worked on them in class, but only for a few minutes, so I had to finish them here. One is for biology honors and the other is for Math 2 honors. They're not very fun, and I don't see the point in needing to have them done before break, but I guess that's what the teachers wanted.

For my exercise I did my push-ups for like about 20 to 30 minutes. Doing 150 push-ups after waking up is super hard. I still have almost got it doing a proper push-up. I can go down, but it is hard for me to come back up. Then for sit-ups I did it properly but because when I go up my neck turns it starts to hurt a lot and when I lean back and my lower part of my back bone hurts also. But I still do it. Then for jump rope it is hard to do 8 minutes, but I can take it. Then sometimes for practice my legs hurt Because I keep come down from jumping with force.

Fist day of October! Only about 30 days until Halloween! My friend and I are planning on going as Sully and Mike from Monsters Inc. She would be Mike because she's really short and sassy. Anyway, today I had 2 tests. Let's hope I did good. I was also supposed to go to cheer, but I had a dentist appointment. We also have a game this Friday, even though we have Thursday, Friday, and Monday off of school for fall break. We aren't cheering at it though, which I'm happy about because I would have to miss the game for the black belt test (which I'm excited for btw)

After this journal I am headed to TKD. Today was really a do noting day except for requirements. I can not wait to go because I have so much energy to burn off.

More Calculus

A large amount of homework was done today, particularly for calculus II. I was told it would be the most difficult of the calculus classes, and I can definitely see why. Each problem can take up to multiple minutes, which is time consuming. At least the homework due Wednesday is done.

getting close

today was not very exciting.  School was a little boring and had cross country practice after school and was not in the mood to run which makes it feel like a forever to complete the run.  TKD classes tonight were ok but because it was red strip night was more physical activities which I need but was really hoping to be able to work on the poomsie and self defenses to get ready for testing.

journal 25: 5 more journals to go, woo hoo?

So this weekend, I woke up, and my mom told me there was no class. My brother had a tutoring class at 10 am, so we dropped him off and went to brunch and brought a bunch of stuff back for my brother. He was up to his neck in hash browns and omelettes. So, he didn't really miss out. Then I helped my dad clean out the car, and then helped my mom clean. After that, my parents had a dinner party, so while they were socializing and talking about stuff, I did my requirements. Then I swam in the pool with my little sister and her friend (who was the child of one of the guests at the dinner party). And then I watched Netflix and went to bed. It's been a pretty uneventful weekend. Like, you know, nothing crazy. After I get to journal 30, I don't know...

9/30

This weekend has been a blast! Friday was my school's homecoming game and barbeque. Us cheerleaders had to work at the bbq, which was at our football field. Families came with their children to get their faces painted and to eat and have fun before the game started. Even though we lost, it was a really fun experience to be cheering on such a fun night for the high schoolers. Saturday night was the homecoming dance. I took Tanner and we had so much fun. I danced with all of my friends. I tried to get Tanner to dance as much as I could, but he's not much of a dancer. I'm extremely tired from last night, even though it was so much fun!

PMAA Seminar: Journal #51

Today I went to the PMAA Stick Seminar with Guru Melegrito. He taught us a variety of things which can help in real life and just when practicing. After that, I went home and then finished my homework. The major homework that I have was my Spanish Quarter Project where I had to do a self-portrait. I also had to work on a poster for Senior Night for Tennis.

Back to School... Again

Tomorrow, school starts again since the hurricane has ended. I'll miss having the extra time to do more requirements, but time is a finite resource. I'll be back to my daily routine where I do half of my requirements before I leave for school and the other half after I come home.

Entry #21

Today was the Philippine Combatives Seminar. I went to both sessions, and it was awesome! Guro Melegrito has so much energy, it’s incredible. I knew most of the stick forms already, but the hand to hand was cool, especially when we experimented in the second session. Overall, it was a tiring but amazing experience.

Brotherly Love

Recently, my brother became a basketball coach for a young basketball team. It was his second day coaching, and he did extremely well. He has always been passionate about basketball, and I'm proud of him for being able to turn his passion into a profession. I hope to follow in his footsteps and do the same for one of my passions, those being software development and taekwondo.

So this week, I passed all my tests, I did all my homework, and was moderately stressed out. But every week is like this anyway. It's like the same monotonous thing over and over. And like in the title, I have nothing else. Well, goodbye then. -Ritika
