Calm & Collected
By far, everything has changed but not so drastically. Most of us have experience in online courses, and I believe it gives us the advantage of having flexibility within your daily schedule. Students get to decide which work, to begin with, first and then take a break and still continue on at their pace. However, […]

This smile made my day
I went to the store this past weekend, but the whole time I was there, I did not feel welcome. I was with my brother, and we had our masks on. We followed the rules of staying at least six feet apart from everybody else, but it did not feel right. When I was reaching […]

How I’ve been spending my days
These past days have been a rollercoaster. I think my head is wrapped around the fact that the coronavirus exists, and I’m not as afraid as I used to be since I’m precautious. Everyone is still doing the same errands and routines they would do before, pretending as if there’s not a virus outbreak going […]

No Ice? No Problem
Today is April 15, 2020. We have been in quarantine for what feels like months, but it has only been a couple of weeks, and to say that I am ready to see people that are not my family would be an understatement. I am more than ready to go back to church and school. […]

I am keeping myself safe during the quarantine.
During this quarantine time to keep myself safe, I’m not violating the health department’s safety guidelines. During this quarantine, my family and I are playing Loteria every day in the afternoon. But before I start playing Mexican Loteria with my family, I put on gloves, so I don’t have to touch the money or the […]

Q: Are You Hungry Or Just Bored?
Not much has changed since my last blog; I’m still in the same routine. I think I can even admit that my routine/habits have gotten worse. I go to sleep at 7:00 in the morning and wake up around 4:00 in the afternoon. This has changed my work ethic tremendously. As I wake up, I don’t truly get up, I lay in bed watching HULU, my streaming service of choice after watching everything, including Tiger King on Netflix. Man, I binge watch that documentary all in one night; after that first episode, I was hooked. I stay up binging a whole show, so when I wake up my mind is on that show asking myself: what happens next? I wake up and do the exact same thing again, and put my homework to the side for it to be done right before 11:59 PM or turn it in late. If my sleeping schedule doesn’t get fixed anytime soon, I’m just going to become worse at turning in my assignments. The reality is when I wake up, I only see the sun for 4 hours, so for me, when I see the sun go down, that has always been an indication for me to go to sleep, and because I’m not sleepy obviously. Instead, I lay in bed and watch more television.
