  Journey of Quarantine

  This journal entry was written as a part of the American Studies class at California High School in San Ramon, California. Throughout my journey of quarantine and covid-19, I have realized that I have changed a lot since before quarantine. I have also realized that I figured out new things about myself, and I also figured out how to never be bored. I have picked up many new hobbies such as fishing and doing DIY projects. Also, I have gotten much more into lifting and working out, because that was the main part of my life during the quarantine. Over quarantine, my friends and I cleaned my garage out, and made it a chill spot with a couch and also a lifting cage for working out. This did cost a lot of money, so we all pitched in to the cause because we were all going to use the cage on a daily basis. After a month or two, we had completely finished it and it was amazing. I used this place every day for the rest of the summer. Another hobby I picked up was owning a fish tank. I have realized that I am fascinated by fish. I have one freshwater tank right now, but I am looking into getting a saltwater fish tank. This does cost a lot more money, but in my opinion, the saltwater fish are much cooler.

  Cooped up

  It was a Saturday, the day after school was out, and an announced break from school due to Covid-19. I was at my friend Zach’s house, when they had announced a shelter in place. I was very nervous about this happening because nothing like that had ever happened in my lifetime. After this night, I was cooped up in my room, and it felt like I was in there for eternity. All I did was play video games, and do bodyweight workouts to make time pass by. This happening is very important to me because I never knew how it was to feel lonely, until this point in time occurred. In my room I saw, beige walls and a dark room all day, I smelled the food I ate in the room, and I touched the ps4 controller and my bed all day. I also heard my brother yelling over frustration while playing on his computer.
