After I got to school I went to my classroom and wrote down my homework on the homework board. Then I went to the theater and then we went to the bus for my field trip which was 3 hours. There we went to some place before we ate lunch. For lunch I ate some slices of bread and they provided some food from Bojangles. Sine I can’t eat meat I ate everything that has no meat. Then we went in line and went to the bus. Then we got to our school and then I didn’t know where to go to. Then I got news that my teacher and my class were in the theater room. Then I went there and finished my class. Then I went to social studies and did my 8 artifact finding thing papers. Then I went home.

I NEED TO HURRY

Today is going to be quick ( like most others ). I went to school and learned that slope is y=mx+b and it is really easy. I also learned that this Monday coming up I have a teacher work day. I am very happy to hear that because I need a break. This week was one of the longest for some wired reason. Ok I am going to end it there see you next time.

9/27

Tomorrow is the Homecoming game and pep rally. Today at cheer, we practiced the half-time routine for the game and the new stunts and dance formations for the pep rally. The pep rally routine has a dance, stunt, into another dance, and another stunt. For the first stunt, I am backing a show and go into a prep and down to a cradle (you probably don't know what that means haha.) The second stunt, I am basing a prep retake into extension down to cradle. I am not usually a base, so it took a few times to hit the stunt. After it hit the first time, it his every time after that. We practiced it about 10 times in a row, so my arms are killing me.

Entry # 20

Today I realized just how much work I'm drowning in. I don't know how I'll be able to pull it off. Thankfully, almost all of my Taekwondo requirements are done, so I can focus more on schoolwork, but I still have to go in for leadership credits. Even though I'm stressed out, I', still excited for the Philippine Combatives Seminar this Saturday. It'll help me relax a little, besides, I get to see Guro Melegrito again! Anyways, I have a ton of work due tonight and tomorrow, plus a test, so on to that...

Priorities

Usually, on Wednesdays, I help out with one the classes at the North Charlotte location. However, due to large amounts of homework, I simply did not have the time to make it to the class. While taekwondo is my passion and I need to obtain leadership credits, school must be my priority.

Tuesday 9/25

Today SHOULD be the last day I have to journal FINALLY. Today I had my mentor meeting and it was all about falls and rolls. I really needed these falls and rolls so I don’t have to do ALOT of falls and rolls everyday. Today I also had a plan to do many push-ups and sit-ups so that before my testing I have a day to relax and do nothing. Class today was basically all about doing kicks onto shields. I had to use the shield against my friend who’s a black belt and he kicks hard. I hope everyone had a great day!!!!!!

White Belt

I'm enjoying my white belt week. It seems to take a lot of pressure off me. Kind of like 'wow, I'm a white belt and I can do all this stuff.' Definitely a cool feeling. I have all of my fitness challenge goals complete. Just a few more journal entries needed. I won't make the Saturday Black Belt class or sparring goals but that is what happens when you work Saturdays. Starting to slow down on fitness, just lightening the load on my body. I have a little wear and tear and trying to get rested up.

Today I had cheer team pictures after school. It only took about 20 minutes, and then we were allowed to leave. I went to tae kwon do right after, and then to dance after that. I just got home and now I'm doing homework. Tomorrow, I have cheer practice before the Homecoming game on Friday. There's also a barbeque before the game. I am working the face painting station. On Saturday, I'm going to the homecoming dance with Tanner.

journal 23: i worry too much

So, I had sort of a bad day. I got bitten by my brother, gotten lectured by my parents, and I worry way too much. Like, if people just look at me it looks like I'm not doing anything, but really a million thoughts are running through my head. I always worry too much, though, and I always get that imafailureandpeoplehateyouandyouareworthlessyoudonotdeservetobeonthisearth feeling. I have to just hold on for a few more weeks, I guess. I hope everyone had a better day than I did. don't you hate that feeling when you remember something but it's already too late? -Ritika

I decided to change my routine just a little this morning.   Istarted by doing some pullups.   I guess my wife thought because I fixed breakfast all week for myself that she would allow me to every other day.  What a bummer!  I played a few games of Pickleball and I have good intentions to do some requirements.  Two more weeks before testing.  Wow!!

New Tennis Shoes: Journal #49

So my tennis shoes have started to break, so I had to order new ones. They weren't available in my size at the store so I had to order them online, and then they said they would be here on Tuesday, but I kinda needed them on Monday. I passed my written and my physical test, so we are almost there. Testing is getting closer as we progress through the weeks. I haven't been able to go to black belt class because of my tennis matches, and then next week I will be on a school field trip called Sound to Sea for 3 days. I have been finishing most of my requirements, so I don't have to worry about those 3 days. The major things that are left are kicks and self-defense, but I don't have that many more for those either. I finished my Leadership Credit 1 and Mentee...

A few days ago, I took an English quiz, and got a pretty bad grade. Mostly everyone got a bad grade, so he let us retake it today. I got a 90. I could do better, but it was definitely a better grade than before. Also, for the last week, we've been rehearsing monologues in theatre and we're performing them tomorrow. She said that we're going to put our names in a hat and she's going to draw a name randomly. I'm not very excited.

FINALLY

The reason that I am saying "FINALLY" is because I can do it on my computer rather then what I did last night ( last night = Facebook journal ). My dad ( thank you dad <3 love you ) found out a way and fixed my computer and I am very happy that he did ( i really did not want to do anymore Facebook journals ). Today I started my community service essay, and also went to go see the movie The House with a Clock in its Walls ( 4 1/2 stars out of 5 is my rating ). We also went around the mall where we watched the movie and got groceries after. That was it, thank you and see you tomorrow.

9/23

Today was Tanner's 15th birthday. I went over to his house with Casey and Lillian. We went swimming, ate, and slept. I got him vans because he asked for some, but he never told me what he wanted, so I just took a wild guess. Yesterday, I went to scarowinds with my 2 friends Declan and Maeve. At about 11:30, we saw cops running to the entrance and people running behind them. After that, everyone started sprinting to see what was going on. I still don't know what happened, but the cops told us all to leave, so I'm guessing that there was a big fight. Some people said that someone had a gun, but it would have been a lot more chaotic if they did.

busy, busy day

busy day today with Church, TKD and school.  Did my normal server at church this morning with preschoolers.  I also went back tonight for the youth get together called REMIX.  In between I had to do some homework and study for a test tomorrow.  I was able to work on some TKD items.  I went ahead and at my church youth get together I was able to train and talk to 3 people about the hands on CPR that we learned on Saturday.   I will have to find time this week to work on the essay between everything else going on.

Saturday

I think I did pretty well at testing today. Surprised myself with the pull-ups. I got 5. I hadn't been able to do more than two at a time before. Personal best on push-ups at 60 and 49 sit-ups. I went too slow on burpees and only did 14. And I did my mile in 7:59 and didn't feel like I was pushing myself. Felt good after. I should have hit 20 but paced it wrong. Got a 98 on the written. No I'm trying to figure out which one I got wrong. Overall, happy with my performance.

I started this morning on a very good note!  I was thinking of how much better my meals are going to be when my wife returns home.  I'm hoping my energy level is high enough to take me through the physical part of our test tomorrow also.  I had a very good day at Pickleball.  My shoulder is doing very well, I feel I'm almost back to my fair play on the Pickleball court.  I look forward to seeing everyone at testing tomorrow.  Much success!!

Different Location

Today, I visited the Lake Norman location for the first time in years for a mentee session. I remember going to this location in a previous cycle to attend sparring classes on Fridays. Apparently it's been so long since I've to the Lake Norman location that the Friday sparring classes are old news. I'd like to visit some of the other locations to see how they've changed as well.

Brains and Brawn?

Tomorrow is our physical and written test.  I wonder how many other sports have a written test?  I played soccer for 15 years and baseball for 15 years when I was younger and I know that we never had a written test!  So, this will be a first for me in this but then it may not be a fair comparison either.   What I mean by that is that Taekwondo focuses both on body and mind. Whereas, the other sports that I played were primarily focused on body alone.  Anyway, tomorrow will be an interesting and challenging day I'm sure!

How did this happen.... again seriously

Okay so I know the title is a bit much but I am short on good ones. So what the title is for its that my class is surprising. We had a good class for once but last fifteen minutes they said the most surprising thing that is still stuck in my head. I don't want to get in more detail with it. (This happens a lot) I think I'm going to run this off. Bye. 9/21/18

Why?

Why do continue to mess up on poomsaes? Even Il and Yi. Even after I have done them so many times. I believe it is just a matter of concentration mixed with a little self doubt and second guessing. I have got to get over this. Feeling good for tomorrows testing except for pull-ups. My shoulder is not cooperating with that movement but I will power through. Just a lot of pain and weakness with it. When the cycle is over I'll go get it and my knee checked out. Figured I'd wait so that the Dr won't have a chance to give me unwanted news. Nothing will stop me!

Because this is my audit cycle, I do not take the written test this cycle. However, with the extra time I have since Charlotte have basically shut down, I am able to look at the written test every now and then to keep the answers in my mind. There are a lot of questions to remember and I don't want to try to relearn them all when I start the next cycle.

You see something new every day

Today nothing new or interesting happened till this very afternoon. When I was on my way to class I saw something for the first time. Some one through their drink outside their car. Now I know that it’s not that exciting but that just shows how uneventful my day was. Hope you had a better day then me. Bye.  9/20/18

9/20

Today was a very busy day. After school, I had cheer from 2:30 to 4:30 outside. It was so hot, so I'm excited for winter. After that, I came home to get some food, then I went to dance. I had dance from 6 to 7, but I had black belt class at 7:25, so I had to leave dance early. We are working on our group competition dance. I went to tae kwon do and got home at about 9. I started my homework and ate dinner. I still have more homework to do, but I'm leaving it for study hall in the morning.

Good morning:

I'm having fun fixing my own meals this.  Some are good and others we won't talk about.   Today I will make an attempt to get more out of this body than normal.  The closer we the more difficult the task.  But I haven't given up.

College Application

Over the past few weeks I've been working on applying to colleges. So far I've applied to four of the five schools I want to attend. With this almost done, it leaves me more time to focus on my current school and the cycle. I've got plenty of studying to do for both.

Light at the end of the tunnel?

It feels like I can actually see the light now even though it's still several weeks away.  At times it has seemed like I wouldn't make it but now I am feeling better about it.  I have not kept to the pace that I've needed to be but am trying to get there while juggling my other activities.   This cycle stuff is more difficult than I expected.  It's easy to see how important it is to practice at least for a few minutes every day.  Just doing that can ensure that you are maintaining your skills.

Wednesday 9/19

Today is the final day I have to journal YAY!!!!!!! Today I had a busy morning, first I woke up and went to chick-fil-a to get breakfast then, I went to the barber shop to get a hair cut. After that I went with my mom to get her eyelashes done and it took forever. After getting her eyelashes done then I did a training montage with my mom and got our falls and roles and everything else done. After our long montage we went to the movies to go watch the Meg and we are not going to the beach anytime soon. Right now I just did 10 minutes of jump rope and I’m a little tired. I hope everyone had a relaxing day!!!!!!!
