Where do I start with today...The time that we spent 3 hours at Walmart or when I finished transferring all my stuff from my book to the website. As I said a long day. The first thing I did was wake up eat and then transfer my stuff from my book to the website. After that we went to go say hi to my great uncle and his wife. We talked for a while and then we went to go buy some food that we were low on. We were at that store (Walmart) for 3 hours and only got a couple of things. Either way after that we went home and then I went to hang out with my friend Mel. A couple hours pass and then here we are. See you next time.

today as it says in the title is freshman orientation. if was kind of sad that I was going back to school, but it was fine because my friends were there. this year there about 30 new kids coming.  after that I came back home and did some requirement. overall it was an ok day.

today was a good day. I had a great timeat north meck park 

My mother in law has gone back to Peru for a while. Feels kinda empty in the house. I have the day off so getting some house cleaning done and having fun with the boys. I am the connect 4 master although they both managed to beat me. And believe me, I never LET THEM WIN. I tell them that to. It adds to their confidence when they beat me. And of course they get rewarded with their favorite game, Minecraft, if they both manage to beat me. That way I know they are trying. Think I'll put dinner on a little early because the boys have swim lessons. That way Katherine and the boys will have something to eat when they get home.

Today is the day that our class is outside. We helped out at Master instructor richi’s house because they needed our help. It was a long process but we got it done. At the end we got McDonald’s as lunch. I had to get up super early to run 2 miles, get breakfast then go to class. I’m a little tired but ready for the rest of the day. I hope everyone has a great afternoon!

Today I had a almost 30 minute long meeting with my mentee and it felt a lot longer than it should have. We went over study guide, poomsae, self defense and sparring combinations 1-12, we did all these things 7 times, my mentee should know his stuff without a problem. I also had to do a lot of self defense in black belt class. I did a lot of stuff today and my legs/ arms are very tired. I hope everyone had has a good night!

I had to get out of bed very early this morning.  So I decided to make the best of it and do a 31/2 mile hike .  Today's breakfast was very light, milk and cereal and I did have my coffee.  One more thing I must do this weekend is revisit my cooking skill. Wife  left and I have take care of me!!

Today was quite productive; I went to sparring class, which I enjoyed since we got a great workout and lots practice with improving the technique of our kicks. After sparring class I went to go help out at Master Richie's house, and we got a lot done there. I am glad I was able to get a lot done at home also, and I hope tomorrow will be even more productive.

Today is the last weekend I have until school starts. Summer has flown by this year and I wish that it was just a little longer. This year will be my first year doing the cycle and tennis together at the same time. In previous years, I did it on off years for the cycle when I just had to wait. This school year will be a chance for a new start. Today I am going to go get my hair cut, I have an idea of what I want it to be, but I'm not sure how it will look. Ill just have to wait and see. Later I am going to the Festival of India for my sister's dance. That's all for today, but we'll see what's in store for tomorrow.

So I recently watched the movie ready player one, it's a good movie but if you've read the book don't watch it. I think this because the book seemed a lot more interesting and   

To day I went on vacation but I spent the most of it cramed in the back of a car fighting over space. At the beginning of the trip there was this car on fire on the other side of the rode so we speed out of there before the rode was closed down. After that my sisters started fighting and I got hit a lot over there pushing. I have to make this quick and unpack bye.

This morning, me and other King Tiger students and Masters went to Master Richie's house to clean up and do some yard work. Watching us all work together to help Mrs. Richie was an amazing experience. At one point, she came outside while I was grabbing water and said to me, "Thank you so so much for the help. I am so grateful." I'm so grateful that I got to help out. 

Many hands make short work. Great turn out and a lot done today at Mrs Richie's house today. I really enjoyed helping. Glad it wasn't to hot and there was a good amount of shade. My son John (Mono) today was saying he wanted to do some TKD. I said let's do it and he said, "No, at the school" Maybe I don't have enough patience to teach my own children. Guessing they think I may not be their favorite instructor. LOL. 

Today was a wonderful day!  Our King Tiger family showed up at Wendy's to really work.   It was hot and humid, reminded me of having had a good workout in the gym.   I returned home took care of my yard as well! I thought I would be able to use my riding mower but to my dismay I couldn't.   My body is telling to do requirements tomorrow and this time I am going to listen!  Oh! did I mention that I am still sore from classes last week?

Wednesday was a good day and I got a lot accomplished.   I enjoyed classes tonight.  It has been a long day and time to go to bed.

Today was pretty ordinary, but I had a meeting for cross country at 3:45 this afternoon. In that meeting I found out that there are going to be only 2 other people on the team, which means that we can't score as a team because you need 5 total people, but we can race individually if we can't convince people to join. I also found out that the coaches for this season, who coached Track last school year, had never coached cross country before, so I am going to bring in an old training schedule from last season as guide since my coaches said that they were going to refer to me and my teammates, who have also been running cross country for a few years, on what to do for practices. Our seasons start on Monday and we will have practice every week day except Fridays and meets are going...

Toady me and some other people went to master Richie's house to do some helping out. in the morning master Chelley took some kids to his house. we raked a lot of leaves, pulled at lot of weed, and some people cut some grass. overall it was fun because we were with friends. later today I might hang out with my friend.

Today was basically like yesterday. I woke up ate and then did my requirements. After that I did what I did yesterday, hanged out with my grandmother and played with friends. Today I also did Black belt class. We worked on color belt and some black belt poomsaes and self defenses. That was really all I did. Sorry about it being so short. See you next time.

This morning started off pretty ordinarily with doing requirements and reading for school, and after lunch I called down to the North Charlotte location to find out what time testing started for the Junior Tigers since I wanted to help but didn't know time it started. Doing push ups and sit ups in my living room is always interesting since my dog usually sits by me or tries to sniff my face and I usually joke with my parents or my brother saying that my dog is just helping me count. At around lunch time I was feeling somewhat cooped up so I just tagged along with my brother on running errands that would typically seem mundane.

Today I did 2.1 miles, and had sticks class, sparring class, assisted in a class, met with my mentee and did 160 push-ups and sit-ups.   I had a very busy day today and I also finished one of my essays today. Looking forward to Friday and Saturday when we will help at Master instructor RItchey’s families house. I hope everyone had a great day!

Today I had to wake up kind of early for my orthodontist appointment. When I got there, I had to get an X-ray and get a bracket added on. They said that instead of having to have my braces on for the full 2 years, I could get them off in 6-8 more months. Then I came home around 8:30 and went to run. It was getting kind of hot when I went, but I am glad I went before it was too hot. 

Today, I helped out in Junior Tigers testing. It was a lot of fun! Even though I had to rush there from the library, I still enjoyed working with the kids very much. It was inspiring to see all their energy, and the excitement over their belts. Even though they've got a long way to go, it's fun to see them starting off!

Today when we went to the pool with summer camp a random kid threw up. The funny thing was it was right when we were getting ready to leave so it didn't really affect our pool time. At the pool I joined a group of kids I knew and played with them. They were basically playing cops and robbers but there was only one cop called granny. I was never even chased and was never granny, I literally swam right in front of "granny" and they did nothing to get me. Anyway that was my day at the pool.

Had a great time watching my boys testing tonight. I am so proud of them. Went out and celebrated at Viva Chicken. I love their sauces. The boys actually ate the hot sauces and convinced me it wasn't hot. They're turning Peruvian. Maybe soon they graduate to real Peruvian aji (hot sauces). That is the hot stuff but so much flavor. Nona (mother in law) is leaving at about 1:30 this morning for the airport. Hope she returns soon.    I hope I get some time off to go help at Mrs Richie's place. Special shout out to Master Evins. His heart is always in the right place. And thank you for the frank words with the students tonight. Our children need to know that accomplishment takes effort AND attitude.

Today I watched this really cool movie called Raise the bar on netflix. Other than that I went to mexican for my dads friends birthday. But all in all it was pretty boring. I am heading up to Atlanta tomorrow so that is fun. Well got to go.

Another visit with Dr. Schuster, shocking if I must say so.  Even though I could feel the treatment I was receiving it is making things much better with my shoulder.  I will be able to do some light punching on pads next week.  I also noticed that my strength has increased.  Maybe i'll back to form sooner than I thought! ????

I went to black belt class and sparring yesterday. And personally, I think they are not so bad. But after you spar, you do these crazy workouts when you're already tired from brutally fighting for the past 20 minutes. You just wanna lay there like the hopeless blob you are. At the beginning of class they handed out bracelets in tribute to Master Richie. He died just two months ago. It's really sad. Just goes to show that life is really precious. They also said that they were looking for volunteers to help his wife. I am planning on being a volunteer because I'm pretty good at yard work and doing chores around the house. I've been scared to go on a run because of what happened LAST TIME, but I've gathered enough courage to go. I'll bring a person with me this time, and I'll bring a map so I...

Today I went to tiger world.I saw ligers,tigers,reptiles,red butt monkeys ha,ha,Also saw a red kangaroo,ostrichs,baers,lions,outers and turtles.after that I went back to tae kwon do an did sparing with my friends today was a fun day.

Sorry about the title I really could not think of one. Either way lets get into it. It was like a everything day, we spent time with our grandmother, did sparring and TKD, and also chilled. As I said a everything day. Today also was the first day that my mom went to work at her new job. It was a very exciting day for her and she really enjoyed it. We also did sparring as I have already said and that was fun as well. Ok got to end it short so I can start getting ready to head to bed. So see you next time.

Today is the first day for me that in sparring class we ran out side and had half of the class outside. Today is also the first day my mentor mentored both me and Andre. We worked on stick and staff form 1 and Bo cho don self defense. Today I also did 220 push-ups and got caught up on my pull ups. I hope everyone had a great day today!

Today it started out like any other. Did my requirements and then we went out to get something for Halloween. Then  we went to go eat at Red Robin. After that my mom, brother and myself went to go talk to some of my mothers friends. They talked for a while and laughed about a lot of stuff they were doing and then we headed back home. That is basically all I did. See you next time.  

I am in Florida right now. I decided to go swimming before I did my exercises. The waves were strong enough, that the wristband that I needed to get back came off. I didn't notice that until I was packing up. School starts next Thursday, so I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

I found myself bored today for some reason doing my activities.   A lot of the time my parents will do things with me but today I did most of the activities by myself.   I enjoyed the sparring and family classes tonight.  Have a busy weekend so I am hoping I am able to get everything done.

My day was a usual but today. I woke up did my requirements and went on with my day, then I noticed that my clock is broken on my computer. I don't know why but I assume that's why my computer is acting up. If you got the same problem Help. Bye hope your day has been better than mine bye.

as it says in the title, today was a pretty decent day. in the morning I woke up and did some work for school, then I finished my what is my mission statement in life and why essay. after some time I went to the dentist. I had to go there for a cleaning. after some time I went to King Tiger to help out classes, and I took sparring. Sparring was fun. after class me and my mom picked up my brother from soccer practice and went home. that is all I did today.  

Today I led a class full of other bo cho don’s just like me and at the end of class we played jump the river. Right now I feel tired  even though I didnt do much today. Right now I’m hoping for the day to be over so get ready for the next one. Today I did 10 more push-ups and sit-ups because I wanted to do more than I have to do,  I hope everyone has a great evening. 

Today was a busy morning. I got up and tried to finish as many requirements as I could because then I had to go to school for a pre-school Student Council meeting. We got to know everybody and worked on some projects. Then I had to get to my last class of Driver's Ed. I was extremely happy when I was done!! I am glad I passed and finished because now I can move onto the Behind-the-Wheel part. Then I came home and relaxed. School starts in a week, so this is my time to get ready and be prepared for what's to come in high school. 

Today I am going to start off with talking about the weather that just passed. It was crazy. We went from a sunny day to a thunder storm in no time. Just wanted to talk about that first, but anyways lets get into the blog. First thing I did was wake up eat and then head to one of my mothers friends house. Reason... I really do not know. After that we went to go get some things for the rest of the week. Then we went to eat at Taco Bell and then headed home. When we got home I did my requirements that I did not get to do early in the morning, and did a bit of sparring with my brother.Then that is around when that crazy storm came in. So that is all I did today. See you next time.

I was quite pleased with what I was able to get gone today. I made a decent amount of progress with my requirements, I got plenty of work done on my reading for school, and I had to get another new mentee since the other two that I had gotten just did not show up when they said they would. I also got schedule conflicts for school resolved. Despite what I got done, my last journal was not published to the website even though I got the email notification that it did, and I am not sure what to do about that. I hope that gets resolved, but as a precaution I will take a picture of this post, of the email notification of the last one, and future posts so that I have a record of the journals that I write and if need be, email this photographic record to...

On Wednesday I went to a Dungeon and Dragons meet up. My dad and I played with two other first timers while the "pros" were with a different dungeon master. I was a rogue while my dad was a fighter the other kids dad was a bard and the other kid was a monk. What sucks is that they were just visiting a friend so they had to go back to Delaware a couple days later. The best part for me was learning and getting to know the people playing. Anyway I hope to go this week.

Today was a great day because I went to the movies and watch the minions.then we went back to tae kwon do and ate lunch.a few hours later I took sparing.

This was a decent day. The day started out like all the others. Did requirements and then hanged out with my grandmother that was taking care of us while my mom went to go do some errands. We ate lunch and then headed to TKD. Today was the first day of my White Belt Challenge. I felt many different emotions that I will share in my essay. Of course I did sparring ( like the title says ).Today we went outside to do warmups and some drills. That was all I did today. See you next time.

I liked today it was entertaining and I enjoyed it. The first thing that I did was wake up and go to Black belt class. After class my family and I went to Ikea bought some stuff. Then we went to go eat and visit my grandparents. We talked about school in 2 weeks and a lot of different things. I came back home and started blogging. And that is were we are now. See you next time

Today was fun because I went to the pool.then we took a long ride back to tae kwon do.then I did all my tae kwon do stuff.

I'm hanging out at the DMV with my son trying to get his vehicle registered.   What a morning!  Without having my normal mug of coffee and breakfast upset isn't the word.   I know it can only get better.   Today my body doesn't really want to exercise, but I need to work on requirements.  I will push to do something today even though it hurts. 

Wow the cycle is starting soon. But I am ready plus I know this time I will get through everything. Today we did the last day of band camp and had to preform for our parents but it went really well. Well at least better than I thought it would. Our Knight riders are getting really big we have like 30 now and 4 clarinets which is exciting because it wont be only me. Our drum line is really good but their so loud I cant hear the winds. But now I am just complaining that is all!

Tweaked my back in TKD last night. Made sleeping difficult. I was so tired this morning. Back is doing better but still a little tender. Today will be the second attempt to take the boys to swim lessons. Got the big rain out the other day.    I'm looking forward to my first session with my new mentee. Glad to get going all of this. There is so much to do and I just hope I don't leave something out. I'm going to try and get a 1/2 vac day Saturday so I can help out Mrs Richie. I truly hate that she has to go through this.

Today was like any other day I woke up and did my requirements. After that I had lunch a few hours later I went to Tae kwon do. I helpped with class but what made my day is what happened before. I got there early and found that the summercamp there was playing gladiator so I joined. After a few people I was up. After I beat the champ a few times others decide to try as well. It was a fun game. It's getting late bye.

today at king tiger we went to the movies at Birkdale. you could either see boss baby or the minions. I saw the minions. everybody had a good time at the movies. when we came back we had lunch. after lunch we played a game called snow man. it was like dodgeball. it was a good game. after that I finished my white belt challenge at the class I normally take. today was a pretty good day.

Today started off like any normal day. I worked on my requirements and then went to Driver's Ed. Today was the second to last day and can I say, I can't wait for tomorrow's class to be over. I know that the classroom part of Driver's Ed is required to get your permit, but it is not the best class. After that, I went to tennis tryouts. I knew a lot of the team already, which was good. I hope that between everything, I can still manage the cycle, schoolwork, and tennis. 

Today, I was pleased with how much I was able to get done, but I did find it quite challenging to stay focused on what I was doing for any extended amount of time. I ended up starting a quick painting that didn't take much thought since I have had the idea for several days, but to me the idea seems a little cliche for my taste. I decided to paint despite having limited time because for me, just the act painting presses a figurative reset button that allows me to either calm down when I'm stressed out or it helps me to focus on what I need to get done; it all depends on what I need at the given time. Hopefully tomorrow I am able to focus on what I need to do a little bit better.

I just got back from my uncle's who lives a hour and a half away. My brother dad and I went for a night and we went to a old style arcade, a cheesecake restaurant, and a breakfast place. At the arcade there was one game I loved it didn't have a name but it was like hockey *foosball and I only lost once while I played 5-6 games. Right before we left to go to a cheesecake place my uncle (Matt) recommended I played a game of Dance Dance Revolution, he won but that was my first time playing and that was his 3-4th. The next day we went to a PACKED breakfast place but the eggs and pancakes were amazing so it was worth the wait. After we ate Matt saw us off for the ride home.

Today on this dark Monday I’m driving home with my mom and I’m about to run 1.4 miles with my mom and dad and I’m nervous that we are going to get rained on hard. I have done 50 push-ups/ sit-ups already and meet with my mentee today. I also have done 5 burpees. I’m actually tired already for some reason but I’m ready to get even more tired after running. I hope everyone has a great afternoon!

Today  was a fun day because it was monday.we went to the park and played kick ball it was fun.later on in the day we did tae kwon do.

Today started out being really peaceful. My mom flew to Ohio but it was to peaceful. I took a bet with my sister that it would rain. So after I finished my requirments I looked outside and found a dark cloud coming in. When I was at class lighting struck in my neiborhood and found out that the power went out. Well I have to go bye.

Today was like any other ordinary day. I woke up at 7:00 a.m. to get ready for cheer practice. I missed dance today to go to cheer, since I had missed cheer to go to dance last week. I had cheer practice from 9:00 to 11:00. During practice, there were four other girls there, new to Pine Lake. They were there to observe and tryout for the team. I knew two of them and wished them good luck. First, we learned a few new cheers. After, we went to learn a dance to the same song we had an existing dance to. Finally, we did some stunting. After practice, I went to watch the middle schoolers practice. I had missed them so much from last year and it was good to see them again. I came home and ate lunch before I stared my requirements. After finishing, I got a hair...

Yesterday there was a power outage. I need to make this quick so here we go. Today I was working on my english assiment for school. I'm not done but I should finish by friday. Well it's getting late bye.

Alright, so I'm really getting into it this week, kicking it up a notch, but I won't slow down until I start getting at least 20 pull ups, 200 push ups, 200 sit ups, and 20 burpees a day, consistently. I should probably also increase my running to 2.5-3 consistently. Everything else seems to be working out, just gotta keep pushing!

I only start to feel normal on my second day off. But at this hour I'm already starting to think of the upcoming week. I did horribly in Tae Kwon Do yesterday. I had no concentration in class and had difficulty remembering forms and self defenses. Mentally drained and  physically I was just tired and sore. I still enjoyed it as I always do but it was frustrating. I feel better and have more energy today. Chin-ups are still killing my right arm. Just gotta tough it out.    I love doing my BB Cycle stuff on days off. It's tough to cram it all in on work days. But on my days off I can relax a bit between segments and work on a little refinement. Well, it's about time load the boys into the car to got to TKD. See you in a few.

Today is the final day I need to do 440 push-ups and sit-ups to finally get caught up and I’m super tired. Today I ran 1.4 miles and It was harder than usual because of instead of running up 1 hill I had to run up several. Today i also finished my book and rolemodel esssy today. I’m so glad I’m done for the day and can finally relax. I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend and I hope they have a great afternoon too!

It was raining today Of course. So soccer practice was ended early. But It was fun to meet my new team mates all the same. I finished a whole book this week. I had like nothing to do. Well its time for me to head to bed.

Today i was tired all day and i don't know why I just did all of the requirements lioke all the other days but i was a lot more tired than usual. But other than that I had a pretty good day because I went and hung out with my friends.

today so far was a pretty boring day. all I did was read a book for school and did some other work for school. later I did some requirements. then I played some video games with my brother today I am going to class at king tiger then I am going to take sparring class. I hope those classes will be fun.  

Today was a normal day. I got my 3rd video on the Facebook page and a i went to Driver’s Ed. I only have 2 more classes and then I get to do the Behind-the-wheel classes. Then I went to class and got a mentor session.

Today I got a few things done. Some of them were for the cycle. The other things were unpacking. When I found my house in dis-array I went to sort things out and organize it. All in all I had a uninvintful day. Hope you enjoyed.

feeling a little overwhelmed with all that needs to get done today.  Did not get everything done today I was hoping, bummer.  Tomorrow is a new day so I am hoping I have a good day.

This morning was an early start having to get over to the VA to have blood work done. I had a rather large breakfast with a large mug of coffee!  Later work some requirements .

A new Monday, a new week. I've got about 3 weeks left until school starts. Now is crunch time for the Black Belt Cycle and preparation for school (mainly for SAT/ACT). I'm also working hard on learning the programming language Python as my new skill and to help me in my future endeavors. I'm trying to keep up my requirements, and so far, it looks decent, but I've got to kick it up a notch or two. I finally found a mentee, and it looks like I'll be able to get all my sessions for that. 

Today was nice and productive; although I didn't complete all of the requirements I was wanting to, I was able to make a decent amount of progress on my book reading for both school and the cycle. Hopefully I get more done tomorrow, and knowing myself I'll probably miss something, but there's always room for improvement. Who knows? Maybe (and hopefully) I won't miss something.

Some storm today.Came out of nowhere. I was at the YMCA getting ready to start swim lessons for them. Needless to say they were cancelled. Even had a tree come down across the parking lot entrance. And then the traffic lights were out. Harris Bv with lights is dangerous to say the least. Good turnout at KT even with weather. I finally found a mentee. Thank you Master Knight. I'm looking forward to it.

Today I went to Band. It was pouring like with lightning and thunder and stuff it was so cool. And loud. Well thats all Bye.

Today was like any other day that I have blogged about. The first thing I did was wake up eat breakfast and start doing house work. The reason is that Sunday has always been a cleaning day as long as I can remember. So every Sunday we do the same thing...clean. After that I went to do requirements and ride my bike a bit. Then after a few hours we were going to my grandmothers because we were saying good-bye to my uncle. He was leaving because he and his girlfriend were going to move to Virginia. So we did that and that is all I did today. See you next time.

This morning was a nice sunny day, but by the time 5:00 came, it was pouring hard. The weather here is very interesting because you never know what to expect. I finished all my requirements for the day and I am happy with my progress. We got our school schedules today and I have a few friends in each of my classes. This year starts high school, and I have no idea what to expect. 

Today was a very sunny and hot day.this morning I woke up and played basket ball in my room. Then I did my tae kwon do stuff.

Today was a fun day because I learn lots of new things like taekwonele staff form two.after that I went back home and I played with my brother.Then I went to my friends  birthday party we went to the pool and had lots of fun. After that I went back home and did some push ups and sit ups. Right now I am playing my 3DS. Today was a very fun day.

Today on this awesome Friday I feel relieved to almost be done doing stuff and relax. I had to run 2 miles, get my mentee to put his signature for last meeting,    Have a meeting with him today, have him sign this meeting, ask for a recommendation letter and have master Shelly sign my book for the black belt class. With my mentee today we focused on his study guide and he needed a lot of help. We studied the yellow belt study guide and we studied the Korean word for blocks and kicks. I then went to black belt class and we worked on bo cho don self defense(also specials) and Koryo pomsae. I’m about to do push-ups, sit-ups and burpees, after I’ll get ready for class tomorrow. Have a great night! 

I believe that I literally drained my energy yesterday because I could barely move this morning.   After class I came home and and took care of all my yard work plus helped my neighbor!  The act of kindness! ????

This morning I went to church and found today's lesson quite applicable, and church usually goes until about noon but ended early today. The rest of the day was pretty calm as I completed requirements and worked on my summer reading for school.

today was a nice chill day. I came home from my friends house in the morning and did some work for school. after that I did some requirements and went for a nice run. today I also mowed my lawn. then I was with my brother and just chilled outside and inside. overall today was a pretty good day.

We lost access to our computer systems and e-mail at work today. Fortunately we can keep doing the job but unfortunately all the work needs to be entered before we go. Systems finally restored about an before getting off. I love things technology does for us but in my line of work it actually slows things down and makes us less efficient on a call to call basis. The great benefit of it is information sharing. So here we are, less efficient and more proficient if that makes any sense.....he types as he carefully balances the power cord connection to his lap top because he tripped on it the other day and now can't keep the charger connected...lol

Today felt short, or was it just me. As always got requirements done, and then basically chilled for the rest of the day. I hanged out with my friend Charlie and rode my electric dirt bike with my brother. Then after that I went to Black belt. We worked on color belt and Black belt poomsaes and self defense. That was all I did today. See you next time.

Today I woke up late so I had to do all my requirements in the evening it was a lt hotter in the evening so the run was a lot harder than usual. Otherwise my day was pretty good I just went to church and hung out with my family. 

Today is the second time I have been to Saturday black belt class and it’s the first time in forever since I’ve done staff form. I had to reteach someone pal Chong it was ackward because I’m not a really good teacher. Right now I feel ready to relax, I’m not exhausted but I don’t usually wake up early to do class every day. Before class I did 100 push-ups and sit-ups and I did 20 burpees and I wasn’t tired. That was great news to me. Even though I still have to do like 315 more push ups and sit-ups it still felt good. Right now I’m in the parking lot of Walmart with my mom after class and I overall feel a lot better that Saturday class is done. I hope every has an awesome Saturday.

Today has been super long with nothing really to do, But yesterday was long and I had lots to do so i was not really surprised I forgot to do a journal but at least I could today. Well that is all Bye

Today I didn't get to do much because I went to a family reunion. Yesterday my aunts and uncles found a dog that was skinny to to bone. Today it came back and we throw it a few ribs. It was pretty late when I got back. Its getting late hope you liked it.

Glad to get work out of the way and get home to my family. The boys had some friends sleep over last night. Still here when I got home......yay? They just left and Katherine went with her mom to a baby shower. She didn't seem surprised that I didn't want to go.   Felt strong working out today. Except for chin ups. They are painful. Can only do one at a time. Pull-ups? Not a prob. Whatever has been going on with my right shoulder is affecting my arm as well. It's weird. The pain is only at certain angles or movements. Guess I'll have it checked after cycle. I have the boys so I think we'll go get some take out...Chinese anyone? Sounds like movie night.

Today was a calm, cool, and relaxing day. My sister went to her friend’s birthday party and then we went to the pool. It was really hot outside, which made the pool feel nice. 

I was definitely more satisfied with the amount of training I got in this morning with sparring class and black belt class right afterwards, and I'm glad with the amount of reading I got done for school when I got home.

Over slept this morning .  Had fun at black belt class this morning and enjoyed the sticks and staff parts.  Had a hard time getting motivated in the afternoon to knock some items off.  Headed out this evening to Pentatonix concert. 

Today at sparring class was a lot sweat and work.   Glad to see as many on the cycle at Black Belt class also.  Thank you Master Chellye.  

So, a week has passed. And I have done mostly nothing. I'm dissapointed in myself. But, I'm going to black belt class and sparring class tommorow and that's going to bring my stats up, which cheers me up. If only a little. My mother and I went shopping for school supplies. I got new colored pencils and I was so excited about using them (I like drawing) that I unpacked them and have drawn a few masterpieces, created by moi. My drawings used up a lot of the colored pencils, so now they are like a centimeter shorter from sharpening and using them. I've thought what I will be like after the black belt cycle. Like, TOUGH , READY TO TAKE ON ANYTHING, SUPER ATHLETIC, TOTALLY NOT CLUMSY!! Don't get me wrong, I do like sports, (I love water sports like rafting and kayaking because I'm actually good at them). But under that...

Today was a normal day as the title says. First thing I did was ( as always ) after breakfast did my requirements and did some of my second essay. I also practiced some of my short stick, bolo and staff. After that I ate lunch and then headed to TKD. I took class and also helped out the next class. My family went to get a snack before me and my brother Aaron took sparring. Then we took sparring and as always... I love it! Well that was all I did today. See you next time.

Today I went to sparring class, today's class wasn't as tiring as other classes, but we still covered a lot of material. In black belt class, we went over stick, staff, poomsaes, and self defense. Because we went over all of that, I got a good memory of most of the things I need to know. Later I am going to go to the movies. I hope everyone had a pretty good day and keep pushing through!

yesterday night me and my friend went to the panthers fan fest at the bank of America stadium. it was really fun. we watched the panthers practice and they did really good. today I went to the weekend black belt class and later today I am going to my friends house for a sleepover

Look at that rain! Suns out! What? Raining again. Someone I encountered in my job told me "You are one of a kind Officer Weber...and I mean that....you are one of a kind." And I'm pretty sure that was for a positive act! LOL. Work is very tough most days. But every blue moon someone, a stranger, says something nice. Funny thing is, I didn't do anything I wouldn't do any other day or with anyone else give the chance. It's nice to be appreciated at least once in a while.    Really enjoyed BB class last night. A lot of self defense work. One of the many things I need some much help with. Thank you Miss Catherine. You really know your stuff. Jealous of your memory. I need kick starting with mine. Loving the cycle. KT North feeling like a second home. I really enjoy helping the instructors with...

Today instead of going to king tiger and helping out I got to stay home. My Parents made me stay home and told me I would still go to sparring at 6:30, But they apparently they got busy and didn't get home in time to take me. I still got sparring rounds on my bag but it's not as good practice as a real person. I also got all my requirements done early so I could rest most of the day. Right now my dad is folding clothes my brother is making dinner and my mom put in her quitting notice to her job.

Had a good run with my dog Daisy this morning and my dad.  I practiced my poomsaes today and while doing that I like to make it interesting.   I wrote each poomsae on an index card and shuffled them up.  I then draw a card of the top to determine which poomsae I practice to make it kinda of fun and interesting.
