So during quarantine its been kind of just a boring time. All we do is go outside and sit or go outside and draw. But recently my sister and I have been painting a lot since my mom bought us a 72 pack of canvases. So we have been painting outside a lot now which helps with ideas of what to paint. My sister realy likes to paint rocks while we are out there too. We have all been doing our best to keep busy but its not that easy. My sister and I have also been going on a lot of bike rides. But we go to the sa,e place everyday so thats starting to no become a thing. Another thing I have been doing is rollerblading. I got rollerblades like several years ago and they can change sizes but I have really small feet to this day so I havent really had to change the sizes. But we went on our biking trai with my rollerblades and it was so fun. But I dont know how to stop with them so I never really stop unless its an emergancy cause then I will either hop in the grass or grab onto my sisters bike while she hits the brakes so that slows us down. And the trail we go on is pretty curvy and steep so its like a big adrenaline rush. Its also a lot of work though. Coming back up all those hills is so hard with rollerblades. We have just been going back home a different way which is still hard because our roads are pretty bumpy and the rollerblades just vibrate my feet so much they get tingly. So yea. We are trying out best to stay busy and entertained but it gets to be more work staying entertained than it is to do the thing thats entertaining me. I really miss having stuff to do. Like going out with friends or going to school. When we had that it was so much better because I think we appreciated our free time more. But now that we have so much of it, its just hard to have as much fun as we used to. But last night we had some little friends over because we are family friends and we have all been inside since the begining. They came over and theres a 6 year old named Race and a 8 year old named Ryder. And they are so funny we played street hockey and hide and seek and tag and we drew with chalk. It was a really good time. Its weird how you can have a better time with little kids than you could with kids your age. I mean its a lot of running but its still more fun. I was running that the littlest, Race, was going to get tagged and so he was yelling for me to carry him and run so I gave him a piggy back ride. And we started running and I rolled my ankle so hard that we both fell and I kind of just layed there for a while but I got up later when I stopped laughing. By the way, my ankle still hurts right now. But it was a lot of fun.

Its currently April 8th which is technically week 4 of quarantine but Im writing for my past experiences. Honestly all the weeks are blending together. I mean I know what day it is, but only because of school. So for week 2 I was still able to sleep in and watch Full House and do what I wanted. We still went to the store once in a while when my mom wanted to stock up. But only because she doesnt know what to get us. We just ask her about an item and she would say yes. But we were always forced to put on hand sanitizer before and after. So I guess I can say the first 2 weeks werent that bad, like at all. But now going onto week 3, we are no longer allowed to leave the house. Non-essential stores are shut down and that leaves those people with no jobs. Along with resturaunts, you are only allowed to go through drive throughs or go in and pick up the food that you already ordered on your phone. Its really been a crazy experience. It gets really boring at home too. Week 3 is also the first week of online schooling. I was so shocked when I heard we would be doing online schooling. I honestly thought it was a rumor. But then it happened and now we are all busy with school work. I do think this is a lot easier though. If I wanted to I could just log on, do all my work, make sure to do my attendance, and probably be done within like 2 hours or so. Its super crazy. I really like getting my work done so early because now U have time to do whatver I want with my life instead of being in school for 8 hours then coming home and having to do homework. Its really different not being able to see my friends and teachers. But its a nice break. I mean I could do with a break thats a bit shorter but I guess this works too. Theres a lot of things in my classes that everyone was dredding having to do like in my Honors English 10 class we no longer have to do a big persuasive essay that determines whether we pass the class. But we still have to do debates, Im not loving that. But everyone in the class last semester hated it and a lot didnt get very good grades on it. So really there is up sides to this whole online thing. Also causes me a lot less anxiety. So realistically this has good and bad times but we all just have to get through it and realize that there is an end and that we just have to push through the mess we have right now.
Schools around the country have been closed due to teh COVID- 19 pandemic. Our school was closed from March 16th to the 30th. It is currently the 30th but im going to talk about my first week being quarantined. For most of the week I slept in until 11 a.m. On Monday I remember being so relieved that I didnt have to go back to school. I was so tired (as usual) and not ready to go back after out 5 day long spring break. For days I just relaxed in the living room after eating and start watching the good old shows like "Full House" until my parents got home and then we all would go outside. My mom got home at 2 so really it wasnt that long. But I did that for pretty much the whole week. Then I started getting bored of that so I tried to find other things to do. I had found a diamond art that I still to this day havent finished. Diamond art comes in this rectangular box with all the materials. But the main idea was to stick little jems onto a picture that had a key so you knew which color went where. Its like a color by number but with little plastic jems. It also comes with a plastic pen thing where you put wax on the tip thats what makes the jems stick so you can easily place them onto the grid. That was my entertainment for week 1 of quarantine. And constant snacks. Thats one of the things I dont like about always being home. You are constantly eating when you arent even hungry, you're just bored. I like to stay in my basement where my room is so I dont eat all the time. I guess I could be outside but whats the fun in that. I only really like being outside when I want to, and a few hours after I wake up....just isn't that time. I dont really like quarantine, its a lot of facetiming and wishing you could be with your friends and craving the fast food that you know you will never burn off. I cant believe im going to say this but I miss some of my teachers too. I miss seeing people I know in real life. And thats only week 1.
