Candidate Journals

Good evening, everyone! I've been slacking on writing my journal every morning, but I am determined to start writing it every day now. This weekend, I helped out with JR Instructors camp, and it went pretty well. I've been getting pretty tired and lazy recently, which is not great at all, so I am persevering through it every day and determined to get my work done. I have a lot of schoolwork to finish and requirements to do for the day. I am very happy because my nutritional diet challenge is coming closer and closer to a conclusion, meaning I can have some room for sweets again. I have a class to attend to in an hour and am planning on finishing up a few more assignments. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

today is Saturday. I did mt tkd & went on a 4-mile run. I had fun & listened to music on the way. I don't understand taxes because why would the government who knows what you own not tell you & companies make you pay for software to tell you how much you owe? that is all.

Today i woke up and went strait to my parents room to hang out in the morning then we watched TV. I went downstairs completely forgetting about my black belt requirements 😩 So I eat breakfast and got dressed to go to a bounce park with one of friends named Michael! It was so much fun we went to "fear less" before heading to a park after that. Then we drove Michael home it is very convenient because we live in the same neighborhood so after I went home to. Then I did my running for the day and played piano! Sofar I still haven't done my other requirements for the day, BUT I will do them later.DONT YOU DOUBT THAT!!!

me and my dad were working on my pine wood derby car today.the race is in 5 days.we are pretty confident that I am going to win.we are probably going to stay up all night working on it.i also did my black belt stuff for the day.:D

I went to the rec center yesterday. I used some of the weight machines, and ran indoors. I'm practicing jump roping more, but still not that good at it. I started looking at online videos of jump ropers, and its pretty amazing what they do. I visited with a friend later in the day. Today, Sunday is my birthday. We don't celebrate birthdays like we did when I was little, so it's a normal day, but it stinks because I went to bed last night with a sore throat and woke up feeling alot worse. The plan for today is bed rest, and Walmart chicken soup. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WTo9lCCxi-1my1mYf79GXliGiFt4zYIt/view?usp=sharing

Today I woke up to go skiing with my aunt.  Now that I am closer to where my aunt lives, I can go skiing more often.  I had plans to invite someone else last time I went but it kind of fell through.  Both times I have skied within the school year were fun though.  Skiing takes my mind off all this workload I have.  After that I went to my usual gym session to get in requirements and also because I like torturing myself (Again, takes my mind off things).  I finished the day with some schoolwork and a session of Mario Party with my friends.

I spent today editing my film and working on my pull-ups. My sister is sick from school so I'm going to have to keep my distance from her in the house according to my Mother.

Today I woke up at 6am and started Jr. Instructor camp. We had breakfast with Master Lloyd. Then we did stick and knife with Grand Master Evins. Team building was next with Inst. Jen and Inst. Rob. After that was board breaking with Master Hartle and helping with class with Master Chelley. Then we had lunch. After lunch was dynamic kicks with Master Marcus and Master Natasya. Then everyones parents came and we got our certificate and patches. After camp we went to Brien's and played football with some of his family.. It was really muddy and the game ended in a tie.. Then we had Mexican for dinner. I played a little Pokémon and then headed to bed! 

So today I ran a 5k and just sat around watching stuff and playing video games.  My cousin came over and she and my sister and brother are making a HUGE racket.  And if I don't join them, they will probably trash my room based on experience. So, PEACE OUT.         

So I woke up at 5:00 and then waited till 6:00 to get ready and I left at 6:45 so I can ride my bike to king tiger and I took a different route today and I ended up being 50 minutes early so yea I just kinda sat there for 50 minutes until class started, and it was a small class today and was pretty easy too. I litterly couldn't ride my bike uphill in the grass with a bad chain for like 3 miles so I just got picked up and I went home and sleeped then took my dogs out then went to dinner and now am doing nothing! 

After a LONG night of J.R. Instructors camp I'm finally able to get a good amount of sleep. Everything hurts, I forgot how bad it hurts to stand on concrete for 12 hours and also having screaming kids everywhere. I had a little trouble with some kids and I obviously can't help that fact but It's whatever I guess. I didn't do very many requirements today and I just hopped straight into bed and slept for a good 4 hours. I really don't feel myself right now and everything is really catching up to me and I feel like I'm taking a lot of things rather seriously and not having a good time as a kid anymore so I'm just really sad about that right now. I just need someone that I can trust to talk to. I have a lot of problems but I feel like after my 3 hours...

I can’t believe I’ve spent the first day of February bring sick. I wasn’t able to do much today, given that I am sick, but luckily I am a little ahead in requirements so I don’t have to do any catching up. Hopefully I will be somewhat better tomorrow.

Hello, from after camp time. I enjoyed a great Jr. Instructor camp. This was my second camp, so I knew what to expect. I had a great time getting in the exercise, training and being with great friends. My favorite parts of training were the nunchucks and gymnastics.  I actually got some sleep too! It was quick and I'm tired, but it was a great time.  Thank you to our Masters and Instructors for a fun Jr. Instructors camp.  Tomorrow will be back to normal.  Have a good Sunday tomorrow. 

HI, sorry I missed yesterday but I didn't get the chance before going to Jr. Instructors camp.  My Friday started at 6am because I had to be at school earlier than normal for book club. The weather was nice so it was a good day at school.  I got home, finished some requirement and checked my bags and when my brother got home we headed to KT LKN.  I got to see my Mom for a little over an hour before heading off to camp. She was gone to a training class all week too. I will hit camp in the next post. 

Happy first day of February. January was soooooo long. Felt amazing to be able to sleep in a  little today.  Got up and did all the things. Was able Togo get my nails and piggies done for the first time since before winter break from school. Took a nap, got a jog in and my requirements. Not sure about meeting tomorrow morning, haven’t heard from anyone yet….

jr instructors camp is over it was sad but I did get my 5th star.today was fun we went to see the dog man movie today.We had dinner at the cinemas and was just a good vibe.the movie was really good:)

Today was day two of Jr. Instructor's camp. I woke up at 6:00, I only got 6 hours of sleep.... so, I am really tired. However, it was a good experience, and I had fun helping out for my first time, even though I was shy and nervous. As soon as I got home, I cleaned myself up and just relaxed all evening. I will have to work double tomorrow to catch up on my requirements because I was too tired to come home and do them. Night night!

Today I went to black belt class at the Huntersville location and led warm-ups.  We practiced Bo Cho Don special. It was a very helpful class.  When I got home I started my exercises.  I ran two miles in a new record time.  I also got one of my essays done.  I'm looking forward to reading my kindle today.

It is Friday so I get to go home & I have exiting things. My sister is going to her first rotc military ball with other schools. When I get home I am done with this week of the cycle so I am closer the last 2 things I need are a mentee & the dropbox link so I am nearly done!

I just got back from Jr. Instructors camp it was really fun this time. My favorite part was doing gymnastics, nunchucks, and breakfast. I also am so glad that so many of my friends were there to support each other.❤️💜💙🩵This was my third time at Jr. Instructors camp which means I got my green star. I look forward to next time!! 

Hello again everyone!  It's finally Friday.  This week was hard, but it's finally over.  I plan on going skiing with my aunt tomorrow.  Today after my normal onslaught of 3 classes in a row, I was working on learning how to code the electronics for our high-power rocket, a part of the rocket that I have not done before, but I am interested in learning how to do.  After that, I went to do a gym session and went to this semester's club fair and signed up for a few clubs.  I don't know if I will have time for them on top of what I'm doing, but I have found that being kept busy is good for me.  I went to an event for the first years, and I found a lot of my friends there, although I did feel a bit out of my element.

Going to try and make tamagoyaki tomorrow for breakfast and begin editing my film. We didn't finish all the filming so I'm going to need to allocate some time next monday to film and finish editing.

My days start early at 5:30am, and I'm out the door at 5:45am. But we are dog sitting for a friend, and I have to walk the dog in the morning, so my day is starting at 5:00am for now. We are dog sitting a 4 year old chihuahua named Beau Diddley. I'll try to upload a photo later. For my running I got in just over 2 miles during track practice today. I also did my exercises for this week, including my planks and checked it off in my book. I finished my day with black belt class, and I focused mainly on staff forms.    

So here I am, assistant instructor at the current overnight Jr. Instructors Camp, which might I add, is going suspiciously well......   I             HATE                OPERA!   So out of the five classes I decided to take a mental health day on (sleep and pay no attention to the Charlie Brown babbling from the teachers), I decided that I would pay some attention to my chorus teacher. He did not have anything planned for us today besides working on our sustained upper range. As I stated in a previous journal entry (becuse I am sure you all read my extensive and jambled journals), my range goes up to a C6, which is where many Sopranos tend to top in their un-trained vocals. My teacher decided "oh yeah he would love some opera" and gave me 'The Curse' which tops at an...

1/31/25 Today when I woke up I did not feel well. I began my exercises anyway because I do not have time to take a day off. In math and reading it was hard to keep paying attention. I went to a BBC weekday class today. We worked on sticks and staff.In gym I worked on cup stacking and I am considering choosing it as my new skill.

Good day. Spent some time focusing on my jog and was able to get in 2 miles in roughly 20 minutes. I’ll take it. Also spent some time working on my stances and trying to improve my kicks…however, my focus should really be on the curriculum. Looking forward to this weekend. 

Today started off by me waking up at 6:00am and eating and then going to school we had a math test that I think I did ok on and after we had this thing called winter social which me and my friends played flag football and basketball. Then my dad pick me up to go to taekwondo at Harrisburg and go home and that's my day.

Today I woke up and got a poptart to eat on the way to school because I had math group again this morning.  After school I went to KT and helped with little tigers and did some bbc stuff and then hung out with Nixon and Carter.  We are about to leave KT LKN for Master Evins school or Jr. Instructor Camp!! 

That's right, it's National Hot Chocolate day -- um yum! I'm so excited for today because it is Jr Instructor Camp day and I get to help. I love assisting the other students although not thrilled about watching Trolls at midnight (probably).  I also decided to start my Electronics Detox for my essay today.  So far it hasn't been too bad but I'm realizing just how much i rely on my phone.  Anyway, I'm off to help with camp and fit in all my physical requirements along the way.  

Today at school I had a field trip to baily middle school...so big, but it was fun. Then we had early dismissal because we have to get ready for Jr instructor's camp. We are going to get some food and then we are leaving. I am excited for camp! ♥

I am writing my journal a little earlier today because tonight I will be helping at Jr. Instructor's camp. I got picked up early from school today to prep and pack. I did some requirements, and soon we will leave. Before the bus ride me and my family are going to get an early dinner/late lunch. I'm excited for camp!

Today after school I'm going to junior instructors camp but fornow I'm getting ready for the bus ride to school. Today at school I have the Chinese market for lunar new year. HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR BY THE WAY!!! I will be early dismissal from school to get ready for Junior instructors camp because my school doesn't end till 4:30🫠

I am going to Jr instructors camp today so I am writing my journal early.today at school we had art and we played football at recess.we also worked on a science project about habitats.i am going to run 2 miles today so I can catch up on my miles.:D

I went home after today & did practice after school but changed up the order. I had fun at school but unfortunatley my math teacher will not be there. She left videos for us to do. My math class is looking very fun & I am exited to learn more. Have a nice day.

Today went by kind of fast.  I was hoping to have a lot of free time, but that kind of went down the drain with the amount of homework I found out I had.  Taekwondo at Shoreview was good again today.  I get an idea of what I need to work on when I'm there.  Also, I had my first high-power rocketry club meeting of the semester!  We might be doing a competition at the end of the semester, so stay tuned...  Will probably work on more of that tomorrow.  Anyway, it's 4 minutes to midnight here, so I'm going to get off and continue with my homework.   #bread

Today I did some filming in school today for an economic project. This project is due next tuesday and tomorrow is potentially the last day for filming. (my group is only 40% done filming). Even after we finish the filming, we are tasked to edit all the clips together into one compilation. 

So alongside being a teacher at taekwondo, I am also a teacher for LNC's Elementary (third grade) and Middle (eighth grade) schools. Today, I had to grab kids from various third grade classrooms for their advanced class with me. I have a total of sixteen that I teach at the Elementary school. But on the way to Mr. S's classroom to collect four of his students, I had the most appalling welcome to his classroom.   CLEAN (clap) YOUR (clap) FLIPPIN (clap) CLASSROOM!   I step into his elaborately star-wars themed classroom and am met with a crunch. I look down and realized I had stepped on a pile of cinnamon toast crunch cereal pieces. There was food and trash all over Mr. S's classroom. Not to mention as he was teaching, kids were running around and goofing off the entire time. I got the kids in his classroom as quickly...

This morning I got ready for school and I ate 2 pop tarts on the way to school because I had morning math group (working on 6th grade math with Ms. Darr the TD teacher) and I didn't have time to grab breakfast at school.  We are working on Pi, circles, radius and circumference.  We just finished adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing negative numbers.  Then we did blocks and we played bobble.   Then I rode the bus to KT and did my BBC stuff, then we had sparring tonight.  When we got home we had dinner and I showered and got ready for bed.  I also just finished my Book for cycle tonight!  I'm watching a little YouTube before I had to bed...See everyone at Jr. Instructor camp tomorrow!!

Today was a running day.  First, in gym class some kids were goofing around so we had to run extra, probably 9 or 10 laps.  Then I ran 2 miles when I got home to fulfill black belt requirements.  Today I set a personal record for my 2 mile run by doing it in 19:45. I also had to do extra of each physical activity for missing some of them yesterday.  I feel spent.

I believe I should make all my titles for this cycle that national whatever day. Previously I would run to specific songs for my mile but this time it's in my title. Today was bland. I did more school... Wrote another memior... did 2 test... did requirements... get hurt in class... All that good stuff. I did land on my hip funny and it's really starting to hurt so I took some medicine but it still hurts for now. It's only one more day till Jr. Ins. Camp and I'm really excited. I hope everyone is ready for the second to last day of the third week!

So I finally woke up at a decent time (5:00) and got some black belt stuff done! I had to go school school and start the day of with gym class! I love gym, I have Mrs. Ford who is the 2nd best teacher of all time and today we had our fitness test which usually last like a week and today we did our push ups and planks, I didn't get the maximum 30 push ups but my form was really good, and my plank time I got the maximum 3 minutes pretty easil. Anyways the rest the day up till American history was pretty boring and easy, I mean I litterly took notes in sciences then got to play games the rest of class, but anyways time to talk about history class... I currently am working on a mini project which it's basiclly a one pager and honestly I...

At school we played soccer.my team lost 1-0 but it was a really good game.At recess we played football but we lost 35-14.Today was fun I did sparring and talked with Braxton and Nixon about PokeMon.today was just a really fun day.

Today was the first normal day at school in a while (schedule wise). I had a science test. but it was fairly easy since my teacher let us use our study guides. When I got home, I did my requirements, ate a quick dinner and went to TKD. I'm super tired now. I'm also doing some packing for Jr. Instructor's camp tomorrow. I will be helping out. Now I will go get a good night of sleep.

Today I'm feeling much much better coughing is better temperature is back to normal still have a bit of a stuffed nose but it's already much better than last week on thursday .Hope that we are all 100% and are ready for another day of black belt requirements! Sleep tight don't let the ( totally real and not at all sarcastic ) bed bugs bite.🛏🪲🐞🐛🤪

Today was another nice day. I finished reading a book to be ready for book club at school in the morning. I also got daily requirements done. Classes were fun tonight at KT LKN, it was really busy too.  I'm looking forward to Jr. Instructor camp tomorrow and Saturday.  See some of you tomorrow!

Today at school there was only subs because all the teachers were planning. At school I did a lot racing with my friends, which was fun. After school I did my requirements, then had a snack and relaxed and the then got ready for TKD. ♥

Today I woke up at 6:10 and did my requirements and running then I had to get ready because today I have choir at 8:00 At school. So WE GOT A GUINEA PIG FOR ARE CLASS PET!! ITS SO FFFLLLLLUUUUFFFFFFFYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!Then after school I had dance from 6:00 -7:30 know I'm at home relaxing.

so today started off by me being not being sick and going to school I had math and English in math intergers and English I'm writing a personal narrative about a incident that happend in a RV today I had to miss soccer but I will be ready for all of my sports to come.

3 weeks in already…..getting better at all the curriculums I need to know…but I really don’t know if I’m going to be ready by March. I still need SO much. I don’t want to be fussed at at testing or hold up the test. I may need another cycle……

I ran in another school track meet yesterday. This was the first track meet that we didn't have to take a bus t Winston Salem, and it was held right here in Spartan Park, which is owned by the school in Huntersville. I ran a 500m, and I came in first in my heat! Against 8 other runners. I ran it in 1:16:00 the 2nd place runner came in at 1:20, so I was 4 seconds ahead. There was multiple heats, and across all of the 500m heats I was in 8th place, so not bad for a beginner. I ran the 4x800 relay too, but the scoring didn't post our individual scores, the team ran it in 11:16:32, we were the only school running the 4x800m relay and there were 2 heats, we did better than the runners in the 2nd heat, so I dont think its the best time,...

Here is a link of me doing my pull ups for my pre-test. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ftd9Sus857THK151MQUZ38WLO0dDyF0P/view?usp=sharing Total pull-up count is 12.    

Chinese New Year is a bit of an event at Macalester, given that we have a large number of students here from China.  I went to a tea social today, the first one of this semester (I was a regular at the tea socials last semester), and I was going to go to the big event they were having, but today was the first day of an astronomy research course that I have that goes from 7 to 10.   I usually don't like doing night classes, as they mess up my schedule of eating dinner super late, but the course itself seems fun.  Unfortunately, these are the sparring days at Shoreview but I won't be able to go much due to my class being at the same time.  I have quite a bit of homework to do, and I am also about to go do a midnight gym session.

It's been a long day of school and taekwondo. I took a 30-minute nap when I got home from school after I ate, and then went straight to taekwondo. I then stayed at the dojang for about 4 hours before going home again and doing homework. 

So today started normal I woke up went to school came home watched you tube and went to kt.  Well actually I went to another kt school but let's ignore that for now when I came home my parents told me that my little brother had been a bully, so I had a long talk about that.  But I am about to go to bed and am I going to a bible study and school tomorrow so it will hopefully be better.    

today I had to wait at the library till 3:30 so I got home at 4:00 & class was at 4:30 so I had to do practice between classes. I got a total of 5 signatures today for sparing, blackbelt class, 2 for helping in class, & 1 from my mentor. we did staff & stick form 1 as well as warang.

Today was a busy day.  As soon as I got home I had to practice my trumpet for band, run a mile and barely had time to complete burpees before it was time to leave for sparring class.  I was able to lead the warm-ups for the first time today. I had black belt class immediately after sparring.  I appreciate that my mentor was willing to stay back after black belt class for a session, so that helped me with my staff and poomsaes.

For starters I really didn't know what to title my journal but I just did so, yeah. Also I've been seeing a kid on cycle and this goes to all first timers for the cycle but YOU CAN NOT RECORD ALL OF YOUR JOURNALS IN ONE DAY! So if you miss a day, you miss a day, you can't do anything to make it up! Make sure everyone is on top of that this cycle, even I have to be reminded! Anyways, I've been needing to have more reasons to do something with crochet. I've really been wanting to but I just need a good reason to. I'm also SUPER excited to help with junior instructors camp. I'm going to have a lot of fun with my friends and some I make along the way! hope everyone is refreshed in the morning!!!

Now this is the second day i've woke up late. There is something wrong with me or something but anyways I wokes up at 6:30 and just waited for school then when I had to go to prison the scanners didn't go off!!!! Now for the past 3 years there has been scanners and if it beeps you have to be searched. I have been searched for the past 3 years EVERY SINGLE DAY. It waste like 2 minutes of my time, BUT TODAY IT DIDN'T GO OFF!! I was so happy and made the rest of my day. I started with spanish which I just had some notes and then math class which is way better in the mornings then the afternoon, after that I had science which I took like 55 minutes of notes :O and then had lunch and then the rest of my day was pretty easy,...

I did my exercises today.I did safety patrol and we had Latin today at school.we also played football at recess we lost 7-0 but it was a really close game.Me,Braxton,and,Nixon talked about Pokemon scarlet and violet and how to get limited edition Pokemon.at school we also talked  about football cards.

Today I walked to school, mom and I walk almost every morning (unless its raining).  It was a regular day at school we did blocks, had lunch and specials.  When I got to KT I did some black belt stuff and ran a mile with Carter and Nixon.  After we played some games.  Then we headed home for dinner. After dinner I watched a little YouTube and took a shower.  Now I am getting ready to head to bed.  Tomorrow is a long day because we have sparring.

Today was math diagnostic testing at school, it was so long but I'm proud of my score. Otherwise just a normal day at school, but this warm weather felt amazing. I great as it was, it confuses me... it's January and it should never be this warm at this time of the year! I was super tired when I got home but my, my sister, and my mom went on a long walk before TKD class. I did double classes today and got 2 more leadership credits in. Now I have some homework to do, then I'll read and go to bed. :)

Today I did got both leadership credits done. I was nervous about leading the warm-up but once I started, it flowed pretty good.  I was able to get requirements done while it was still warm this afternoon. Such a great day.  Just ate dinner, its time for shower, reading and then bed time.  I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow. See ya at sparring. 

I’ve been fighting a migraine on and off all day. Barometric pressure is changing with this warmer weather. I still have to go to sparring this evening AND do my black belt class after. I may go to lake Norman Saturday for class as North Charlotte is hosting junior instructors camp and therefore no classes Saturday. I guess it will depend on my head and the weather. I have a school teams meeting at 5pm….yay. 

Same as yesterday, I still have flu and am blowing my nose and coughing a lot.  I do my school work during the day when I feel better and take naps sometimes.  I will try to practice some forms today if I have energey. Nap time.

Woke up and went to school today but had to go see nurse because was not feeling well.  She checked my temperature it was high  so gave me a flu test and I had the flu.  My dad had to come get me and I spent rest of the day in bed.

So today was ok. I was just bored at school were we are doing biz town stuff school.  It was  kind slow but enjoyed recess and playing with friends at recess.

Took a break monday and tuesday from the physical portion of the requirements (pushups, sit ups, etc).  Getting back into it today has been hard, but it was worth it.  I taught two classes last night and did a session with my mentee.  Overall, very successful.  

Tuesdays are worse than Mondays in my opinion.  You have a lot of work cut out for you and you still have most of the week ahead of you.  I am currently dealing with a huge wave of homework.  At least I'm in my "locked in" mood.  Anyway, I had another black belt class at Shoreview and worked on my 540 hook kicks.  I think the trick on getting a good 540 hook kick is to visualize 3 kicks and to do them stepping forward before you actually do the kick.  That helped me today.  Hope I have time to do more fun stuff around Macalester tomorrow.

Every day feels the same now, it's always school, home, requirements, and maybe extracurriculars. I finally understood a calculus topic after learning it on the first day, which is always great. Unfortunately, I did not get to take a nap today so it was harder to get through the later portion of my day.

So yes, these journals are going to get very 'music' oriented and focused, so expect me to nerd out on many things that I will not elaborate on because I am just so quirky :D.   MY VOICE BE CHANGIN' GIRLIES!   So I am a tenor, which an average tenor has a range of a B2 to a C5. My range, however, is an A2 to a D6. This is mostly due to musical theatre songs being far more demanding than an average choir or pop song, though there can be exceptions. This training is even more rigorous because theatre songs require emotion in order to work. If you want to sing a song in a way that makes you sound far better than what you blank-slate voice is, add flavor and emotion. The lower you sing, the more emotion you are directing towards the audience, as if you are...

1/28/25 Today I had my first mentee session with Jordan. Then, I helped out in his class. After that, I had a class of my own. I did not get many exercises done, only the mile and pushups, so I will have to make things up tomorrow. I started a new song on trumpet today.

Now I wake up knowing today is semester 2. I got ready for school and I have new electives. I still have spanish since it's yearlong class so not normal, but today I have cycling. I had cycling in 6th grade and it was really fun but in 7th grade I didn't have it sadly and now I have it again! We just started so we didn't get on the bikes today and I have to do fitness test before anything. That was really the only good part of the day, I'm not going through the rest because it was really boring. After school I kinda ran my best mile time of 6:36 which I kinda did because I paused it 3 times then walked in those times then ran, someday i'll do it without stopping hopefully! I went to class and now am going to sleep. Good night!

today it was a new semester, so I had a new 1st block which was math. My teacher is nice, and we are going to do work tomorrow because today was for getting to know each other. I then went home and as unable to go to taekwondo due to my mother's inexperience in driving. Instead, I did my work & did a mile long run. from there I did the rest of the work for my cycle. as if now, I have to take out the trash & take a shower soon.

So I made more bread yesterday and I think a lot of people liked it because I've been told that it was gone in about 15 minutes. Yesterday I was sick near the end of the day so I hopped straight into bed and slept for about 15 hours. I didn't feel all that well this morning but I got up and took a nice cold shower to wake me up. At class I got a mentee credit finally and did all my requirements and got both leadership and class assist credit. I got a bunch done today and still have to make up Monday's work. Wish me luck.

Had a good day. Did some testing at school, requirements done, and went to assist in class tonight. Had a meeting with my mentee…she’s growing up quick…going to JR instructors camp. Time for a shower and bed. For some reason, I’m not able to get on this site on my phone…..ps. Still despise burpees 

When I woke up this morning I got ready for school.  Mom and I walked to school.  At school we did blocks, lunch, recess and specials.  After school my bus had to go a different way because there was some powerlines in the road the way we normally go.  When I got to KT today I did a mile, did some requirements, a mentor session, and both class assistance.  We had cookout for dinner before we took Anthony to Boy Scouts.  Got home after dropping him off and I finished up some self defense then took a shower. Now I am getting ready to head to bed. 

Today was OK when I first woke up my legs were so sore I almost fell out of bed. I had my I- ready test today at school.Then I had to go to dance and piano. Now I'm at home relaxing. Have a great night everybody!( sorry this was so short)

Today was fun, we had to wake up early because I had jump rope team practice. At school we had class pictures, and I had PE, we play a game with 4th grade vs 5th grade (5th won!) Then after school we did our regiments and ran. Now I am just relaxing.♥

Today was a good day at school. I finished my I-ready math test and blew past the extended goal that was set for me.  I had to go home with a friend because my brother was at the Orthodontist getting a new set of braces.  He didn't get back until late and to figure out dinner for him we didn't make it to class. See you tomorrow though!! I hope everyone has a good evening. 

Today we had to leave for school extra early which left me being super tired all day. I've been really tired lately. I went on a field trip at school today, it was fun. We went to get a tour of another middle school for complicated reasons. When I got home, I ran a mile outdoors today because it was really nice temperature and weather wise. Soon we'll have dinner and go to bed early tonight. :)

Today I got up to do my morning marathon of classes.  I was reminded why I rely on caffeine so much when I didn't have any before my 8:30 class.  I ate lunch and had a lab to go to later on, and then I had to pick up a bunch of packages.  I got on a call where I saw a lot of people from King Tiger back at home, which made my day.  I miss everyone back at home.  As fun as it is here, nothing and nobody I have encountered here as of yet can really replace that.  Anyway, I went to the gym afterwards to get some requirements done, and I am now doing some homework, after midnight EST, because I really didn't watch the time.  My first class tomorrow starts at 9:40, so I can look forward to an extra hour of sleep.

1/27/25 today was a regular day, mostly had a big test in math and there was a holdup in science. Apparently a girl climbed a ladder up on the roof so I skipped gym. I submitted my midnight sky trumpet assignment. I'm very tired. 1 mile ran today in 9:02. Everyone was bored today but when i got home i was too busy for boredom.

Nothing eventful happened today, it was pretty average. I’ve just been super tired lately, probably because of the requirements on top of what I already do but it’ll be okay. 

Yesterday I had family on my mother's side come over for the entire day. I caught up on my schoolwork and am overall tired.

Today I had to get back on track after so many days of taking a break. I did my requirements before going to school. Then I took class at king tiger and got with my mentee for his first session after that I had to go to piano before coming home and running 0.50 because my legs are to sore to run the whole thing. THE END!

I woke up this morning and walked to school with mom.  On the way to school I ate a donut that was left over  tom yesterday from when Anthony gave them out (for his birthday) when they got back from his scout trip.  At school ,we finished our Literacy Diagnostic test and I got a 619, which was 10 points higher than I scored last time!  After that we had snack, then lunch and recess.  After that I had media for my specials.  Then I rode the bus to King Tiger, did some black belt stuff, had a session with my mentee and got a leadership credit.  Then we had to go pick Anthony up from school because he stayed after to play with the band at the basketball game. When we got closer to home I ran a mile through Birkdale while mom rode beside me!  Now I am relaxing and...

my family is now divided on who is going to win on Sunday.I got all of my black belt stuff done for the day.I won 5 air heads today and was a  great day.# Bread

It was hard getting up and going to school this morning after so many days off last week. At school we had a big diagnostic test, I was so tired I almost fell asleep. Afterwards, the day flew by. Straight after school I ran my mile, and I learned that I will be helping out at Jr. Instructors camp this year! When I got home, I had some math homework to do then I played on my iPad. Tomorrow I am going on a field trip, so I'm looking forward to that. I'm also looking forward to some sleep tonight :)

It was back to school Monday today. I had a math test and it was long.  We got to go outside and enjoy some recess too.  I got some more leadership credit done today. I led punches and kicks and got thru my nervousness. After class I got a salad for dinner. I'm looking forward to sunny days and some warmer weather the rest of the week. 

Back to school. Had several days off last week due to bad weather. Got my requirements and jog in today. Was also able to locate most of the answers to our written test….just one more thing I need to know. I need to set an alarm on my phone to do my journaling and requirements on line. 

It is the day before I might not be at school. on one hand I would be having fun at home. on the other hand, I would be away from my friends. I also want to do my midterms I am excited due to my midterms as I get to complete fun puzzles.

there was no school today due to snow which was fun to note. as such I stayed home. at home I made breakfast & lunch before heading to taekwondo class. the class was fun & it was the first class of the week. the week seems to be going well, I hope it is going well.

I had my AP Gov & English midterms. AP Gov was about the constitution, which is complex, but I remember most of the clauses. English is different because it is about how the text works & how it proves things & makes its points. I did well on both midterms which was good to hear.

I had my biology & my pe midterm. my pe midterm was fine but it was mostly just the thing we always did. Biology was fun because it was easy & simple. After I got home, me & my sister had a behind the wheel lesson with my dad. after that I had taekwando which was fun.

Today I took my ap computer science & band midterms. My band midterm was first & it went well. The band midterm was actually just us playing several scales, recording it, & posting it on canvas. I got an 85 because I had problems with my accidentals. My computer science midterm went well with me getting an 88, it was a fun test.

Today I woke up at 11 because today I had no school because it was a workday. I spent the day relaxing & spending time with my family after my parents got done with work. After that I cleaned the bathroom because there was dust. I did research on one person who I admire (possible essay topic). it was a mediocre day.

I woke up & went to my black belt class. After I got home, I did instrument class after for 1 hour. I then went & watched tv before I went & made lunch. in the evening, I took a nap before I did my taekwondo work. I began writing my essay on my dead hero before I went to sleep.
