Jan 21, 2012: Today, I tested for and received my yellow belt in karate. We started with our Basics, which are the easiest. There is a Basic move in almost every technique. Then we moved on to Sports Combinations. Sport Combinations are a mixture of several different Basics. Then we did Self- Defense. That is where someone grabs your hand, shoulder, shirt, or hair. Then, you have to get out with a certain technique. Forms was next. Forms is a combination of twenty different Basic blocks and strikes. Soon after, I sparred my friend Erin Call. I think we tied. Then we did something called breaking. It's where you have to put your foot or fist (though foot is easier) through a one inch thick piece of pinewood. I used a Side kick, which is very hard to explain. I was the first one to break my board, and I broke it with my first kick! That concluded the test, and then we bowed out and yelled;
"Hung Sung Soo Go! (always do your very best, and a Kwanganim (a fifth degree black belt) Rickard yelled) Testing Dismissed!" Then everybody yelled, "OMEGA!"

Dec. 31
Last night was crazy. At seven o' five P.M., Mom, Dad, Spencer, Claire and I went to our friends the Taylors, and ate Zubs sandwiches, Joe Bandito's chips and salsa, lime and coconut lemon bars, chocolate chip cookies, grapes, and different veggies. I was sitting with Maddie, Sena, Claire and Peyton Maughn, and all of us were trying to burp and laughing really hard. Then we went upstairs and played Just Dance 3. After about an hour of JD3, we played a game called Spoons. Say there are twelve people playing. Put 11 plastic spoons in the middle of the circle the twelvle people will be sitting in. Hand out four cards to each player, and one person will get an entire deck of cards. The person draws a card from the top, checks if he wants it, and whether he/she wants it or not, they pass the card they drew or another from their hand to the next person. When any person gets a four of a kind, they try and sneakily grab a spoon. If anyone else sees a spoon gone, they grab a spoon, and so does everyone else, and one person is left without a spoon. After you spell 'pig', with missing spoons is out, and it continues in that manner. At midnight, we went outside and made a lot of noise, went home, and went to bed.
