Corona Diary
Today is the 22. I am tired and have to work all day today. I hate this damn virus. It has flipped. It seems as though my world has been completely flipped upside down. I know I was excited to finally have down time to think, but now, my life is just as chaotic as before. My parents have been begging me to get a job and now that I one, I am exhausted. I literally get up every morning to workout. Then I eat, shower and come in to work by 5:30 am. I usually end up trying to do my school work as I do my job. Today I am working 13 hours. I will be home around 6:40. Just in time to eat with my family and make family time. Then I will go lift and then shower. After that I am exhausted and call my girlfriend before I fall asleep. I know I should be taking this time to reconnect with my faith, but I am drained and finding excuses to pass time by. I miss playing soccer. I miss the thought of being able to travel anywhere and be free. My parents only let me out of the house to go to work and to see my girlfriend once a week. It is all killing me. Some of my friends are able to be out and it is driving me crazy to not be with them. I am practically failing Calculus. I do not understand it. He does not seem able to help/ teach it in a way that makes sense. My tutor is busy with his high school meetings which are complete bs. I am done with this virus and I just need a break from life. I need a trip to Bali when this is all over.

Today is the 30. I am so tired that I slept through my alarm this morning. It woke up my parents who then had to come in and get me up for work. I went in from 5-8 am. Then I came back home and got ready for calc class. We “reviewed” the unit. And by review, I mean he did the problems, did not answer questions, and left us lost. History was good though because it got canceled. We got our tests and essays back and I got a 100 on both. Then I worked out, showered and came into work. My work has been easy because I spend all day screening people to keep the virus out of our building. In between rushes, I sit here in this comfy rocking chair while doing my homework. Our high school teachers gave us all this bs busy work that is the most unproductive thing ever. If we do not get a 100%, then our grades will drop to a 60% for that marking period. It is pathetic. It does not make sense at all. I hate our high school. I hate that I might not have a junior prom. Especially after I went out and already bought everything. I am exhausted from working so much and still having to do my homework and workouts. I get to go to Erie Saturday for some Chick-fil-a with my girlfriend. We are also going to Sarah’s for ice cream. It is so good! I get paid tonight and I cannot wait. I need the money to pay my car insurance. Other than this, my life has been dull and kind of boring. I cannot wait till this is over. My trips to Florida and Minnesota this summer still have not been canceled so I am planning on going. I am excited to get out of Warren. I am also supposed to see Maroon 5 at Darien Lake in June but I am not going to get my hopes up because I expect that it will get canceled.

Today is May 5. The local Chinese place opened up today after a long break of being closed. It was so packed that they ran out of food and eventually turned their phones off. I called many times but I was never able to get through. After work I went home and waited till about 5:15 because they said they would open up again at 5:30. When I got over there, the line of people waiting to get their food was so long. It was freezing outside but I was going to get my food. After 40 minutes, I was finally able to order. The lady told me that it would be a 20-minute wait. After another40 minutes, I got my order, 2 general Tso combos and 2 broccoli chicken combos. It was not all for me. It was for my family. The food was so good. I am getting hungry again just thinking about it. It was well worth the wait. Tomorrow I am planning on going to Bob’s Trading post with my girlfriend for some ice cream. I have to work from 5-12 then we will be going. If she is awake yet and done with her work. My back is absolutely killing me. I did a running and biking challenge for some free shades. I know I should not have because my back has been bad for months. I definitely made it worse by doing the challenge. Unfortunately, I have to go the therapy Thursday and to go get an x-ray from the doctor. I am anything but excited. I just want to be able to run again so that I can feel free. It is the greatest feeling to be able to run for miles. Hopefully all goes well.

Today is May 6 and it was a great day. I got up at 4:30, ate breakfast, then went into work from 5-12. After work, I went home, showered, and got ready. I picked up my girlfriend at 1:30 and we went to Bob’s Trading Post in Kane. Their food is soooooo good. We got a large pepperoni pizza and fries. I noticed that our gas was low and that we would not have enough to get us back home. We asked the lady if there were any gas stations near us and she told us there was one about 8 miles away. So as our food was being prepared, we drove to the Country Fair and got gas. After I got gas, I remembered that I had 40 cents off per gallon. I was bummed that I forgot about it. But it was ok. We got drinks and chips inside, then drove back to get our food. It was delicious. Absolutely amazing. We made a bit of a mess eating the food. After the pizza and fries we got ice cream. We did not eat all the pizza nor the fries because we needed to save room for ice cream. I got a medium roadrunner raspberry, which was huge. She got a small blue moon which also huge. Then after we ate, we drove back jamming to whatever it was she was playing. We got back to her house and took her dog on a long walk in the woods. Her dog’s name is Coby and he is a wild year-old collie. It was fun. The dog was going crazy running around and barking at everything. I went home around ten so I could get up and get my work done. It was a great day especially with everything that has been going on.

Today is May 7, I worked from 5-8 this morning then went home for some sleep. After I got some sleep, I got up and did some work. I had therapy at 3. It was OK, the doctor told me that my mobility and strength are great, but I am super tight. He gave me a bunch of stretches to be doing every day. I hate to stretch I am not flexible at all. I guess if I want to get back to where I can run and play soccer, I am going to have to stretch a lot and trust the people there. After pt, my family went to Bob’s Trading Post. I got to go two days in a row so I was happy. This time my family got the pepperoni meltdown pizza. It had like double the pepperoni and cheese. It was probably super unhealthy, but it was delicious. We got drinks and ice cream. This time, I got a small strawberry cheesecake flavor. It was really good. On the way back home, we took a different way. It brought us into Sheffield and we decided to go see my grandparents who live in Lynch. It is between Sheffield and Marienville near the Blue Jay creek. We visited with them for a while, then we went through my great grandfathers old fishing stuff to see if there was anything I could use. We found a sweet fly-fishing rod that I might get if my uncle lets me take it. They have no WIFI or cell service up there and it is so peaceful and beautiful. We went home and I was exhausted so I went home and fell right asleep. It has been a good week, considering the past few weeks.
Corona Diary Part 6
Today is May 8, I took off today that way I could get some sleep and do my school work. We have our calculus final Wednesday and I know that I am going to pass, but I do not know if it will be that good of a grade. I am freaking out because I need a good grade on this final. He does not teach the material well and my tutor is never free when I am now and it is making this class very difficult. The final is going to be so hard. I am just hoping that my other grades will be good enough to compensate it. I have been working hard in this class and history so they should be high. My grade in philosophy should be solid. I cannot wait till this semester is over. I am excited for summer and a break from school. I have lots of plans for this summer so I am hoping everything opens up. Our soccer coach wants us to play league games this summer. I do not feel like having to go to Erie two times a week then to Ohio and all these cities every weekend for games. I got a good run in today because my back was feeling a little better. I had to go slow but I got eight miles in and it was a nice run. My knees and legs are going to be super sore tomorrow. It was so nice to be able to get it in. My birthday is in two days and I am going to be seventeen. My family and girlfriend are coming over tomorrow for pie. It is going to be great. Hope all is going well with everyone’s quarantine. We are almost through it.
