With that is going on with the world it’s crazy to think this is all just happening. In the last week alone we had so many more COVID cases and there are protesters marching the streets across not only the US but in other countries too. This has been a very boring quarantine and I am excited to finally go outside and enjoy summer.

What I have learned from this quarantine is learning how to cook. I can now make dinner for my family and I’m excited to show off my skills. It’s good to find something to distract you with everything that is going on. This has been a very interesting 3 months and I am excited for what the next months will bring us.

Day 76, Today I woke up early and went to Stoney creek with my friends. We stayed there for a bit and walked around and had fun. I got ice cream and McDonald’s. I got a happy meal and it was the best thing ever. I got home and took a very long nap.

After my nap, I went outside and hung out with my friend and skated around.

Today was a fun day.

Day 75, I woke up and I had a very big breakfast. I then went to work from 3-8. It was really tiring because we cleaned the whole restaurant. I came home then and hung out with my friend Maryann. We rode our skateboards until it got dark.

I went back inside and watched Netflix all night and fell asleep watching family guy.

Today was a quiet day.

Day 69, Today I woke up extra early to get all my homework done before tomorrow because I have work in the morning. I am trying to find new things to do like sewing or learning how to dance. Both things are not going as well as I though.

Today is suppose to be really nice in the afternoon so I’m gonna go for a bike ride and maybe make some smores tonight. I missed a typical summer day and I really hope that the weather stays like this.

Today was a chill day

Day 68, I can’t believe we are almost 70 days in quarantine. It has bee so long in my house I have watched 3 full tv series and even learned how to cook. I really hope that it doesn’t get extended because I am slowly going insane.

A good thing is that the weather is getting better and hotter. So I can go outside and hang out with my friends. My skateboard came in just in time so I will be skating and trying to stay away from people while having some fun.

Today was a fun day.

Day 62, I have been working on homework all day. It was a very busy day I went to go get my contacts and then went grocery shopping with my mom. Surprisingly I woke up pretty early today and had a head start to the day. It’s been hectic, but a good day.  Tomorrow I go back to work hopefully more people come in this time. We just started doordash so that should make business grow.

It’s been a very long time in quarantine and one thing that calms me is going on bike rides by myself with my headphones in.

Today was a crazy day.

Day 61, I went to work today for the first time in forever. We weren’t as busy and I mainly just stood around waiting for the phone to ring, but it was good to finally get out of the house. I started there till 4 and then came back home and took a big nap. I started to online shop and I bought a bunch of clothes it was really fun.

My mom had made us lasagna and some cheesy potatoes that night. It’s one of my favorite dinners and it was very good. After I went back upstairs to take a shower and fell asleep watching family guy.

Today was a fun day.

Day 55, Today was a very interesting morning. I woke up at 12 and came downstairs to my whole family gone. I didn’t know where they went, but I took this time to enjoy the peace and quiet. Then i came back upstairs to do my math test, and I had no idea what was going on. I ended up basically failing it, but it’s fine. When they came home I went downstairs and my mom made us some noodles and grilled cheese sandwich

I start to work again and I’m really excited to finally get out of the house. I hope we get a lot of people to cause it’s gonna be boring if no one comes in.

Today was a very chill day.

Day 51, It’s officially may meaning all the bugs are coming out and allergy season has started, but the weather is getting better meaning that summer is right around the corner. I hope we don’t have to stay indoors all summer cause that’s gonna be hard. I wanna go out and have a good time with my friends in the pool. We can only hope for the best.

Today was a very weird day I woke up on the ground and I don’t know how I got there. I woke up at 3 today one of my latest mornings, but I didn’t care. I got a budget project in economics and I was basically working on that all day. Then my family ate some chipotle and went outside to play some tennis. It got a little windy so we came back inside and I took my daily after-dinner naps. I woke up finished the rest of my work and fell asleep on the floor again.

Today was a weird day.

Day 46, I started off my day pretty early at 12 pm. It was a very rainy day and I loved it. It was so calming and relaxing I just wanted to stay in my covers all day long. Sadly I had stuff to do today. I came downstairs and ate some eggs and headed back upstairs to be productive. That did not last long 10 minutes in I got hungry again and went downstairs to eat and annoy my parents. My parents were not to fond of me bothering them, but it’s fine they love me.

I started this new show called the good doctor and it’s amazing. It’s about this surgeon who has autism, but is a genius. He was hired because the president of the hospital is who takes care of him and thinks he is good enough to be an amazing surgeon. He has a photographic memory so he memorized every part of the body down to every last nerve. It’s so cool to see how a guy like him could handle such an intense and very complicated job, but he gets the job done.

Today was a calm day.

Day 44, I woke up early today to get on my zoom call with my math teacher. It was very long and we learned a new concept. Not gonna lie it was very hard at first but I think I got a handle on it. I then fell back asleep and woke up at 3. I proceeded to eat some cereal and watch some tv. When it came time to do my work I fell back asleep. When I woke up the 2nd time it was time for dinner. My mom had made subs and they were so good. I had 2 huge subs and I still was hungry so I decided to eat some candy.

I came back upstairs and did my homework, by the time I was all done it was already 12 am. I decided to watch a new movie or an old one I haven’t seen yet. It was very hard to choose one, but I chose Titanic cause who doesn’t wanna see young Leonardo Dicaprio. I started to watch that and by the time I finished, it was around 4 am, but I still wasn’t tired so I just sat on Tik Tok for a good hour or so and finally went to sleep when the birds started chirping. That’s a huge indication that its time to go to sleep.

Today was a lazy day.

Day 41, Today was quite an interesting day. I woke up at 2 in the afternoon and no one was home. Confused I went downstairs to learn that my whole family went to river bends to ride their bikes around without me. I wasn’t complaining it was too cold for me to ride my bike. I enjoyed the peace and quiet while I ate my cereal and watched the new episode of Brooklyn nine nine. It was amazing I didn’t know that there were new episodes coming out so it was a very good way to start my day.

I then came back upstairs and started to do my schoolwork that I couldn’t get done during the week . I continued my tutorials and I love using InDesign. It’s frustrating at times, but I feel like when I get the hang of it I’m gonna enjoy it more. My family then came home and we all started watching a movie. By the time it was done it was already dinner time. My mom made some pasta and garlic bread today it was very delicious and I spent the rest of the day in my room jamming out to music.

Today was a fun day.

Day 40, Wow I still can’t believe that we have been in quarantine for 40 days that is just crazy. I started iff this quarantine determined and ready to be organized and my sleep schedule to be good. None of that has happened. I’ve never been more unorganized, I am waking up at 2 in the afternoon every day it’s just chaos. I’ve watched every movie I can think of, I have finished 2 whole tv series.

This quarantine has been making me go crazy. let’s hope people are actually staying inside and actually listening to the governor.

We can prevent the spread if we just all cooperate and stay indoors until we are told we don’t have to anymore. Judging by the numbers that won’t be until a long time. I really hope that this slowly goes down so I can enjoy my summer before senior year. I had so many plans and places I wanted to go this summer and I just really hope that this virus doesn’t ruin any of my plans. The bright side is that I’m getting more sleep and started to be productive with my life.

Today was very stressful.

Day 39, I can’t believe that I’m still stuck at home. I thought by this time this whole thing would’ve been over with and we were enjoying our spring, nope here it is late April and we are stuck inside. I finally finished that horse puzzle I’ve been trying to figure out for a while. It was a great moment until my brother decided that he wanted to crush it all. I didn’t care I was over that puzzle anyways. I finished my tv series Brooklyn nine-nine. I was so sad, but I heard there are new seasons come out so I’m pretty excited for those to get to Hulu.

I finally learned new tricks on my skateboard. It took a while, but I now know how to skate like a pro. Well kind of a pro more like a beginner/intermediate skater, but ill get there. I started shopping for a new board I wanted one that would look cute and make it easier for me to actually stay on.

I narrowed it down to 3 boards and I’m gonna have my family decide for me later on. I don’t think they care, but ill still force them to pick the cutest one.

Today was a very calm and fun day.

Day 38, Today was a very busy day I had to wake up at 9 today to make it to my zoom meeting. After that, I went downstairs to make breakfast when I saw that my mom already had pancakes made for me I was very happy. When I ate my very good breakfast an headed back upstairs for another zoom call. I then did all my homework and fell asleep for an hour or two.

My mom just came home from the grocery store and she had bought cake mix so we made that and I got the batter everywhere she was not too happy.

To save my butt I ran upstairs and started to watch some Hulu. I started this new series called baby daddy. It’s about this single dad in new york trying to balance his work life and take care of his baby at the same time. He also has a lot of help from his roommates and mom. All in all, I think its a really good show to binge-watch. Then I went downstairs to eat some dinner my mom made some chicken wings and pasta. After I ate that I helped my brother out with his homework and came back upstairs and fell asleep.

Today was a very crazy, but fun day.

Monday, April 20, 2020

Day 37, I woke up very early today to attend my math zoom meeting. I had no clue what was going on, but I just went with it. Then after I went to Walmart with my dad to get some groceries for our family. It was so crowded and everyone had masks on. I got my brownies and blasted out of there. I then came home and did all my homework and let me just tell you I have never been more confused in my whole entire life. I took a short break and decided to vibe out on my trampoline.

I came inside the house and ate some dinner. For dinner my mom made some Indian food, it was butter chicken and rice. We then proceeded to go to the living room and watch our favorite tv show Master Chef. It’s been a cycle of nonstop work, eating, and sleeping. I haven’t done anything new these past couple weeks. It’s been so boring and I don’t think I can handle this anymore. I just want to see my friends and go out on adventures, but here I am stuck in my house indefinitely.

Today was a very boring and calm day.

Wednesday, April 15, 2020

Day 32, I woke up pretty early today because I had the Mipa zoom call. They were discussing the issues in the world today and how Michigan publications have been affected. So many journalists are risking their lives in order to give us the right information so we are all informed with all the new information about the coronavirus. These journalists are not giving up and this shows strong journalism. How bad it might get it doesn’t stop them from working for us.

I was doing my homework today and I’m trying to finish everything so when school actually starts next week I am not behind and stressing out at the last minute. I plan to start working out at night so I don’t get lazy and sit in my bed all day. I am ready for the day I feel really energized and ready for the day. Probably will take a nap in a little it has been a long day.

Update: I took a nap and now I will start painting my skateboard again. I found a bunch of paints under my bed so I will be using that to finish this project. After I probably will start my journal and design it even more.

Today was very interesting.

Tuesday, April 14, 2020

Day 31, I woke up at 3 in the afternoon, I’m not proud of what I did, but that was the best sleep I have had in a while. I come downstairs to my mom already preparing for dinners saying its gonna take her 3 hours to cook. I slide past her and grab my cereal and head to the dining table. After I ate I went back into my room and took a nap lol.

I’m also not proud of the nap but after such a long day of eating cereal, it’s just necessary sometimes. I woke up to my mom yelling at me for falling asleep again. I just ignore her and keep on dreaming. After a little, I get called to come and eat. My mom had made lasagna and I couldn’t be happier my stomach was growling so bad.

After dinner, my parents and I took a walk around the neighborhood. We saw a lot of people and said hi to all of them and caught up. After my mom wanted some donuts so we went to Krispy Kreme to get my mom some donuts. We came home and I watched some tv and fell asleep.

My day was very eventful.

Day 30, we have been in quarantine for a whole month. One month indoors it’s crazy to think of how one month ago we were preparing for the SAT’s and the seniors were so excited to graduate and do senior things. Our whole lives have been turned upside down cause of this pandemic. People need to stay inside most people aren’t taking this seriously and that is what causing the outbreak to grow. Michigan is the 3rd state with the largest numbers in cases and Macomb county is the 3rd county in Michigan with cases. That is so scary.

Today I took a walk around my neighborhood to clear my head and relax. My mom made me dino nuggets cause she saw how stressed out I was with all the work that was given to me. They were pretty good and then I had a huge glass of strawberry milk after that. My strawberry milk addiction is growing and it’s so bad.

Today was a bad day.

Tuesday, March 31, 2020

Day 16, I woke up at 12:30 and had a Zoom meeting with my fav Mrs.Smale. Ethan kept annoying her as usual and I just sat there watching him annoy everyone. After that I got up and had lunch, my mom made her homemade pizza with chicken wings. After that, I got to work on all my assignments. There were a lot of assignments when I went in the last time so I’m scared.

My assignments are taking so long to do they put in so many assignments I am hoping that my teachers stop putting in so much work so I have time to just breathe. Spring break I’m pretty sure is next week or the week after I’m not too sure. Everything is kind of just mixing in together. I swear I thought today was Friday and yesterday was Thursday but apparently its Tuesday.

Everything is mushing together and this is not good. For dinner that night I had some homemade pizza and my mom made this new thing I don’t know exactly what it is, but it was very good and I enjoyed it.

Today was a very boring and long day.

Monday, March 30, 2020

Day 15, I had a zoom meeting with my math class today. My teacher was showing us all of her animals and she has a lot of animals. I then took a stroll outside and enjoyed the nice weather we were having. I found my skateboard and started to skateboard around my neighborhood. I saw some of my friends, but I enforced the 6 feet apart rule of course! I also started painting my old skateboard for fun, but now I’m out f paint so I’m gonna have to get some more.

I came back inside and helped my mom cook dinner. We had pasta and some garlic bread on the side. We then all watched Master Chef together. The guy that I wanted to win the challenge did not and I was very upset because his dish was clearly the best out of the 3, but it’s fine. He had advanced to the next level, but still, I think he should’ve won that challenge. Master Chef can be so nerve-wracking sometimes you never know whos gonna go home next.

Today was a very happy and calm day.

Friday, March 27, 2020

Day 12, I am now on the second season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I binged watched it the whole night and I love this show. If you like mystery shows this show is the one for you. The main character is really funny and he always says the wrong thing at the wrong time, but that’s what makes it an amazing show.

I started the 500 piece puzzle again and let’s just say it’s not going too well. I still cannot find the horse’s piece anywhere, not even a tail or like a side of its hoof or anything. I think the puzzle makers are lying to me about how it looks like. I am determined that I will find this horse and I will make sure this puzzle gets put together.

My mom made some burgers today for us. I helped her make the patties and she cooked them for us. They were very good she puts in all these ingredients in the meat and it tastes like heaven. I also made a side salad with only lettuce and tomato cause that’s all we have at our house at the moment.

Overall the day very stressful.

Thursday, March 26, 2020

Day 11, I started a new show called Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It’s about an immature gifted NYPD detective who may seem like he’s an idiot, but he’s actually a genius who solves crimes that are thought to be unsolvable. It’s a very good show I recommend it 10/10.

I started to write a little side journal to feed my boredom. Its been keeping me busy and I like how I can color coat it and design it the way I want to cause I have all the time in the world now. This journal is gonna be so cute and I’m so excited about the final result. Also, it is gonna be a cute little memory from the time we were quarantined and school and everything was canceled.

My day was very fun and exciting.

Wednesday, March 25, 2020

Day 10 of this horrible vacation, I want to go back to school. I never thought I’d say that, but I miss all my friends and teachers. I mean I have woken every day at 1. So It’s not as bad, but my laziness has increased over this past week so this is bad for me and my schoolwork. Nothings gonna get done if I just sit around.

Tomorrow I wanna try to fix my laziness maybe go for a run or do some kind of exercise. I have been laying in my bed all day and it’s not gonna be good for me after this quarantine has ended. Let’s hope I can go through with these plans and not bail out at the last minute. I need to end this school year with all A’s so I can get a GPA boost.

It was a very lazy and calm day.

Tuesday, March 24, 2020

Day 9, I found a canvas in my basement and started to paint a dinosaur on it. I have learned that I have no artistic talents. I thought it would look better, but it turned up looking like a horse. Anyways I gave up after that and started watching David Dobrik vlogs. I spent at least 2 hours just watching his videos.

His videos make me laugh so hard. You could casually be watching one and that one video will turn into 10 and then that will turn into 30. It’s a very vicious cycle, but they make my day a lot better. If you don’t know him he is a big vlogger on youtube and he collabes with a bunch of his friends all the time and sometimes even big stars like Kourtney Kardashian or JLo.

My day consists of watching videos and painting.

Monday, March 23, 2020

Day 8 in quarantine. Today is the first day of online school and my teachers really think I’m actually gonna do it. Oh, man, we are in for a long year. If this virus spreads more and we have to stay out of school longer I might go crazy. I’ve been watching Hulu all day and never come out of my room now.

Online school may sound easy, but having to teach yourself lessons I feel like is where I’m gonna struggle the most. It’s a whole different way of learning and its gonna take some time to get used to and a lot of adjustments need to be made in my schedule to make sure I get all my assignments completed.

Today was very boring, but now I have something to work on.

Friday, March 20, 2020

Day 5 of being stuck in my home. I spent 4 hours trying to fix my printer and after I gave up I threw a ball at it. Then my brother and I found a microphone and hooked it up with my speaker and we gave my family a show. Then I took a little nap which turned into a big nap causing me to miss dinner.

After I got some dinner I was determined to fix my printer. It had finally worked until it started spewing out hundreds of pages saying unknown on all of them. That’s when I finally gave up and decided to watch some tv. I watched some family guy and fell asleep on my couch to be woken up a couple of hours after cause I accidentally left the tv on.

The day was very stressful, but I had fun.

Thursday, March 19, 2020

Day 4 of quarantine, I got up and watched Master Chef till 2. Then I went to my friend’s house where we found her old snowcone maker. After making a bunch of snowcones we decided to play on her Wii. We played cooking mama which by the way I’m a pro at not to brag or anything. After I came home and fell asleep.

After my little nap, I got up to make some strawberry milk. My mom brought home strawberry powder and its never been the same since. I drink it every day and I am in love with it. It takes me back to my childhood when I used to drink this literally twice a day every day. I love the flavor of it.

My day was very boring and felt like it would never end.

Wednesday, March 18, 2020

Today I got up and went shopping with my mom. Then I came home and took a nap cause it was a very long day. After a little, I went to work where I spent 3 hours doing absolutely nothing cause no one came in. I did buy another yoyo started playing with it, but then I got too excited and tried learning some yoyo tricks as they did on Zack and Cody.

It didn’t end up like I thought it would. The yoyo went everywhere at one point I hit my dad in the face by accident. He was not too happy about the incident his face was really red. It’s ok once I become a pro yoyoer I think that’s what its called he’ll see. I will see practicing my movies until I get better than I will show off my talents to everyone.

It was quite an interesting day today.

Tuesday, March 17, 2020

Day 2 of break is going pretty swell. It was a pretty boring day I just went to my friend’s house and we played with her duck named Doug. Doug was quite aggressive. Then I came home and helped my mom clean the house cause I’m a good kid. She needed help cleaning the kitchen cause it was very messy. I then cleaned her room for her cause I felt bad.

Then I helped my brother do some of the work that he got from his teacher. It looked so overwhelming he had so much work to do I felt so bad. He had this hide packet to do and it reminded me of the big packet I have to do then we both started freaking out about our packets and went into full work mode. That lasted about 3 minutes then we gave up and ate some cheese.

Other than that it was a very calm and nice day.

Monday, March 16, 2020

It’s only been one day of quarantine and I’ve never been so bored in my whole life. I woke up at 12 and fell back asleep at 2. I’m still trying to process the idea that I will be in this house for a month. I don’t think I can handle a month with my family. Like I love them and all, but a month is just a lot.

This is so scary to think we will be stuck in our houses for over a month. I don’t know about you, but it terrifies me and I hope that everything gets better within a few weeks and we will be back to our normal lives.

I bought this new yo-yo and I’m very happy with my purchase.

update I broke the yoyo.
