Today I had school, of course, and it wasn't all that. When I got home I did most of my requirements and practiced some forms. When I was at TKD between then end of all the classes, that I had to teach, and sparring, that I taught have of, I practiced forms with Master Chelley.

Today

Today I got up early and ran 2 miles. Then I got ready for school. We learned a lot during school. I came home and ate a snack. I also got ready for TKD. I was going to do sparring class today because I need the last sparring credit before Black Belt Testing. I came home and ate dinner. Now I'm going to sleep. Good Night.

Wednesday

Today I had to take a psychology test and I was frustrated for even though I studied for hours to prepare for this test I still didn't feel confident going in. I was nervous and I wish that I studied even more as it would have made me feel better and not as nervous. After that though it was a very calm day and that's what I wanted after that frustration.

Last Journal!!!

So this is my last journal! I don't know why I'm doing it so late in the cycle but it's done. And that's all that matters. I skipped a few days which could have something to do with it. Some days I was just too tired to do a journal. I'm tired today but I want to finish this last one. I don't have anything special to talk about. Just happy to almost be done. I am excited for the testing but nervous and tired as well. Today was a long day. Master Chelley and I did a whole bunch or work. A lot of polishing up on Poom Saes. I feel confident that I will do a good job. And that's my last journal!

     Today we had a fire drill during 2nd period, and where my class is located, we go near the buses. While we were standing there my friend said that it wasn't smart standing near a bus if there is a huge fire. You if there was a big enough fire, it could burn the buses and their full of gas. So if something like that happened, we would all be dead. During Math, we were making a cheat sheet on a post card and tomorrow our teacher is going to cut half it off. Everyone is really worried, but I'm calling it a bluff.        That's all for today.

To my fellow cyclist: We got this!

It has been a joy taking this black belt journey with you all. There was that moment in yesterday's black belt class when we were all in sync. We moved as one. It was a moment of presence, focus, perfection and togetherness. Of course, while noticing how great we were, I lost my concentration and messed up....but just before that moment we were perfect. ;-) I can truly say, I've done my best and given this my all. It may not be perfect or pretty....but that is not the point. I tried hard, I participated, I got over myself and never gave up.  This has been an awesome life experience and I'm better for it.

     Today I had to go to the library during ELA. Usually we go on Monday, but a lot of people had to finish a test including me. I actually had to go two times. Once to get a new book and the second time I asked the lady at the desk if she could hold on to a book for me when she got it. And she got while I was still in class so I went back. My Science project on the Periodic Table. I think I did pretty well. Even I totally forgot about it and started it on yesterday.      That's all for today.

Safety Patrol

My school has something called the safety patrol. It is made up of only fifth graders and you have to do an application and write why safety patrol is necessary, how you show character every day at school, and how you get home. Once done with the application you turn it in to either your teacher or our PE teacher on the day you go to PE. Since I have been so busy with black belt cycle, I haven't finished the application yet. My dad just emailed the teacher to see if I could turn the application in late since I have been so busy. I want to be on safety patrol because I like helping out other people ad I've always admired the safety patrol members, and I am hoping I can get kids to want to be in safety patrol when they are in fifth grade.

Crazy puppy

My assistant was in a car accident and missed work today. Once again I was a one woman show...drawing blood, cleaning rooms, washing and autoclave get instruments...not to mention the actual physician stuff I regularly do. The day went well, I'm just tired. Nala has a slight limp...an old problem since she was a puppy. She is supposed to be taking it easy for two weeks, but every morning she begs to go with me on my run. She also gets her cardio in by running up and down the stairs like a crazy dog at 6:30 AM in the morning.  She is driving me and the cat crazy. Can't wait til she can go back to puppy day care and romp around with other dogs.  Helped with the adult class today. I like that class. When the cycle is over, I will start going to that class regularly since I...

Lazy Day at Home

Today was a lazy day at home. I didn't have to go to school and dad didn't make me go to King Tiger. So I got to stay home all day. Most of the day was spent watching videos and Netflix. I watched a couple TV shows then got bored and started playing a game. The TV shows were 2 animas called Bleach and Blue Exorcist. The game I played was called Brawl Halla. I wanted to play it with my brother but he was doing homework. After a while of that I got bored and started playing with my megablocks. Really a pretty quiet, uneventful day at home.

A quick Monday

  Today for some reason this Monday went by so quick I think that it is a Friday to be honest. Anyway it was a good day because I have no Math homework. I am so happy because I don’t have to worry about it so much. Plus I love that my teacher gives me a break and no stress about it. After that I was at the top of the class at the subject in science. It was the circulatory system. I watch a lot of educational video in science so you get good at it as time goes on. That is why I got a 10/10 at the end of the test. After school my grandfather picked me up. I hung out with them and then my mom picked me up and now we are here at home.Today was a really good Monday and hope that they are all...

     I almost pulled a all-nighter, but I fell asleep around 5am. I couldn't go to sleep so I was just watching Netflix. I ended up waking up around 12pm. The rest of the day I did my requirements and watched Netflix. I also watched some football, sadly the Panthers lost against the Falcons. If you ask me they're are gonna fail this season. Anyway, my family went out for some ice cream. Once we got home we started watching the Steelers vs Chiefs game.       That's all for today.

So it was horrible. I cried after it was over. They had two chances and they threw 2 into the opponent's arms.  They took superman into the locker room for concussion protocol. Superman looked pretty shaken. This was even worse then the great tragedy.

Testing Day

Today was testing day. We had both the physical and written exams. On the physical exam, I could have done better. I got zero pull-ups but on everything else I did pretty well. I think I did really well on the plan section. I got four minutes and was tied with the other people that got first. On the written part I think I did kinda well. I passed and I think I did pretty well. I got, about, 9 or 10 questions wrong. That still counts as passing. I think some of the answers I studied were wrong so that didn't help.

Just a Normal Thursday

Today was the same.  Except, at before school there was a fight.  The fight started by someone stepping on someone elses shoes.  Then the rest of the day was just a normal day.  At gym we practiced flag football outside on the football field.  Also, My fourth block math teacher is getting married on Saturday.  So we have this sort of mean, sort of nice substitute.  I also went to Huntersville for sparring class.  Me and my dad also went to go get a UNC sweatshirt for college day at my school.  Other than that, today was a pretty normal day if I do say so myself.

Double picture day! So today I had school pictures and yesterday afternoon I had King Tiger pictures. I think I am going to like the King Tiger pics the best and since I am going to be a second poom soon I took an instructor pic so it can go up on the wall at KT. The two pics from KT have me holding a sword above my head and the other was a high front kick. I got to choose my own backgrounds and look forward to seeing what they look like when they come back. I think y school picture looks pretty good as well.

I don't like my teacher

I have a teacher at school who sucks. Like at recess today since today was my mute day and I'm the table sweeper which means I have to stay at the cafeteria longer. Every week we go to a different place for recess. Monday and Tuesday we went one place. Today we went somewhere else. My teacher said I went to the  wrong place on purpose and I couldn't talk to her to tell her I didn't do it on purpose. She blamed me for something I didn't do and when I tell her tomorrow it won't matter anymore. I don't know why I had to get a teacher that doesn't understand me at all.

  This Wednesday was very fun and a quick one to. The reason it was quick is because I had early release. When it is early release the day is rushed so much that the teacher are stressed out. Even though today was very rushed It was like a normal day. The first thing I did today was go to D.A.R.E and learned about risks and consequences. It was a educational and I really enjoyed what he said. After that I went to reading and there I did reading stations. Then I went to math and did a lot of my math that I need to do. Plus I really like the subject in math that we are learning about. Later we went into science and did some stuff there then it was Time to go hame and I really was waiting for.

My New Stickbot

A coupe days ago I got a brand new stickbot. IIt was one of the action pack stickbots and was he last pack I needed to complete the set. This set had a silver stickbot and came with three ninja, two pirate, two cop, a warrior, a fire and a knight helmets. He was silver but something that was unexpected happened. My mom got it while she was at the store but she bought the wrong pack. Since my mom was making dinner me and my dad went back and got the right one. She bought the grayish black one which I already have.

Never, never, never give up!!

I've run over 100 miles. If you had told me 5 years ago that I would be running 100 miles in 3 months, I would have told you you were crazy. It is amazing what you can do when you do a little every day. Of course it helps to be too stubborn or stupid to quit. Maybe I'm an old fool, but at least I'm an old fool who has run 100 miles ;-)  Not a good day on call when I've been to the hospital 3 times before the sun sets. Trying to hydrate all week long before Saturday's test. Interviewing job candidates on Thursday. Why am I always looking for staff???

Today was my last required journal entry. I will probably still do more. I wonder what our community service will be though. I Am prepared for the written and physical test.

9/26 Double Trouble

I have two very important tests coming up; one of them is for the black belt cycle, and the other is for my history class. I am finding it very difficult to study for both of them at the same time, but the black belt test is after the history, so I will be able to focus on it after I take the history test.

  This Monday was not as bad as I though It would be. It was some what a good one. The first good thing that happened was that all of the teachers were in a good mood. Also learned stuff I was interested in and I learned history and I LOVE history. After that we did some science and I also love science and what we are learning is very very cool. Then after school I did my home work and then went to my brothers tennis practice. When we got there though the coach was not there. Then we found out that he had family stuff to do and he was not coming. We got that and then played at a park close by. That is how my Monday went that you for reading and I hope you have a good night. Bye :];].

Feeling old

Got a lot done this weekend. Caught up on work stuff. Did some requirements and wrote some essays.  Master Knight always make class fun and we go through a lot in one class. Went to the grocery store. The cashier asked if I wanted the senior citizen discount. "Maybe," I said, "How old you have to be to receive the discount?" "60" she said. "Please tell me you do not think I am 60 years old, " I cried. I was feeling pretty good until then.

A basketball Sunday

  Today I am so ready to tell you about what I did. The reason I am so happy is that I had some much fun and I really enjoyed it. Even if I am tired it was one of the best workouts I did in my life. The first thing I did was warmup and I think that it was a good one. After that we did lead catch and shoot it was very very hard and it was tough and I pushed and pushed until I couldn’t any more. By the time I needed water I was done with the Drill. Then we did some shooting and layups. I did well and I made some and I enjoyed it. Today was a good one and I enjoyed it. Thank you for reading and good night and I hope that you have a good Monday.

Sunday

It was happy dance this morning because when I got up I could walk!!!  Swelling in ankle was down and the knee was only a throb so I am good to go.  Unfortunately not much progress on the TKD front today as Sundays are pretty much the domestic front, if not, the rest of the week turns into turmoil, which is not good.  Sooooo - -thank you D'Andre now I know what those thingies I was trying to do are called- -kip up.   Those are going to take a lot of practice for me but it will come - -just going to be a work in progress for now.  Have a few more hours that I need to finish up my list but wanted to take a break for a few and maybe catch some of the 4th quarter of the game.  Looking forward to a great week!!!
