Day 36 of Isolation

Hiya. It's been another week and I'm back with another update.

The quarantine lifestyle is the new normal, and I think I'm mostly adjusted (not that there was a whole lot for me to adjust to). It's crazy to think that it's been more than a month already. I hope we're in the tail end, but, like I've said before, no one really knows when this will be over. I'm ready to have the BEST summer ever, if that's even an option.

Tomorrow will be the first day my county requires people to wear masks in public. A good thing, because I went to Harris Teeter today and was annoyed to see people without them.

I'm losing motivation for school. I'm only in one AP Class, and state tests got cancelled so all the other ones seem futile. Every week is just waiting for the work to end. It doesn't feel like school, it feels like an annoying daily chore. Zoom meetings for my math class are the high point of my week, and all of my teachers have been so sweet over Google classroom.

This isolation is definitely making me realize what's really important (other than getting into college) - connecting with people and improving oneself. I'm going to keep making stuff for my friends and family. And I won't let my backstabbing metabolism and wide ribcage discourage me from exercising until I receive the male validation I require. I promise to emerge from this quarantine a butterfly from her cocoon, a Me 2.0. If everyone at least attempts to do that, maybe we'll all get along a little bitter eventually.

I feel like I can't put too much negativity in the world, but I struggle to find positivity within myself. Then again, although quarantine can be rough sometimes, I maintain that it's an improvement from going to school every day.

Stay safe out there! We've got this.
