This week has been a ton of fun. The three day weekend made time for my dad and I to meet my aunt, uncle, and cousin at our family’s condo in the Sierra. The weather has been pretty rainy and cloudy so we couldn’t go hiking as we had planned. The rain kept us inside […]
This week hasn’t been super eventful, but still good. This was my first full week of school this semester and it has been pretty good so far. The workload between my classes isn’t too much apart from AP Environmental Science. It might be difficult to balance school and my test but I know I can […]

A good self-improvement book is grounded in core principles and makes an impact. Impact is the key word I’m throwing out to y’all. You know what else makes an impact? A gut punch and a kick in the rear. A memorable self-improvement book should kind of feel like that. I love the scene in Kingdom […]

Over the weekend I attended our in-school “absolute” tournament! It was a really good experience, and it was a great little test run before my final black belt test. How an “absolute” tournament works is you are put with a partner and you have top perforce kata, who even wins that gets a point, then […]
