I am really tired today and I played with Adam for a long time this morning so I am kind of behind on school work. Tomorrow my dad and I want to go off-roading. I am really sick of quarantine.

Yesterday was boring again. I have been playing a lot of basketball with my little brother. Sometimes this gets hard because if people are walking we have to stop and make sure to keep a distance.
I had school work in the morning and it was kind of rough. My mom wants to make sure I don’t get behind because I am getting better grades. I understand because I do want to be better but not the work.
It is hard being around my family ALL the time. I miss personal space.
My mom got a message from her old real estate agent. I guess when my doctor died a long time ago, she wrote a letter to the family. She tells me that she did it because it was only a year after my dad died and she understood their lost. Anyways, the wife of my doctor, with everything that is going on, wants to contact my mom. Because my mom’s letter affected her.
It is nice to know we can be brought together during this.

Today I woke up and watched tv for a bit. I then fed my geckos and went downstairs and ate breakfast. Right now I am doing my journal and when I finish this entry I am going to do Khan Academy. Today the weather is nice so I might go outside and do yard work for a while so I can get paid. The world currently has 509,427 confirmed cases of the Coronavirus, with 23,004 deaths. The number of people that have recovered from the virus is at 122,226, and the number of people that have it per 1 million people is 72.30.

This Coronavirus issue has been relevant for around a month, but with the past week, it has gotten even worse. The virus originated from Wuhan, China and has now spread worldwide including the United States. There is so much news coming out each day. Just a few days back, it came out that there are cases in every single state in the U.S. More specifically to us, a Lane County woman died and the test results for Corona only came back 3 days after her death. I find it very sad that she didn’t know what was happening. This epidemic has spread everywhere which has made life a lot harder, especially for me because one of my family members is more medically fragile. This has required me to stay at home almost 24/7. I have gotten very bored. I have been doing more electronics and listening to music than usual because of a lack of things to do. However, I have still been doing productive things like doing chores, playing basketball by myself and going for bike rides and runs. I have also started learning an instrument in hoping to acquire a new skill. It has also been tough socially because I haven’t seen my friends for a long time. Luckily for phone calls and Facetime, we can still talk. To be honest, I am not really sure what to believe because I see things on the news and online but a lot of it is not true. One thing that scares me the most about this virus is how fast it spreads. You might have gotten it for somebody and not even know that you have it. By the time you figure it that you carry the virus, you have already passed it on. This is a scary situation to be in and I hope it dies down soon.

Today is the 14th day of being out of school and the weather forecast is cold with off and on rain. I am going to try and go and play outside but I’m probably going to be doing lots of stuff inside today. I’m less bored right now then at the start of the quarantine because I have found other things to do then scroll through instagram and sit around. It’s kind of crazy to think that school is one of the things that actually keeps us sane, and people just like to complain about it, so when we aren’t able to go to school and get an education we realize that we are so lucky to have the privilege of going to school and learning and seeing our friends.

Well today was amazing and just so much fun. We had to wake up super early today to go pick up my sister, we had to wake up at 10 and usually we wake up at 12 or 1 but we gotta make sacrifices some times. When we got to the airport to pick my sister up it said that her flight had landed then it took her an hour to get off the plane. Which would make sense if there was like a plane full of people but on her plane there were only 5 people so I think that she just stood at the top of the escalators just to mess with us cause that is something she would do. Anyway my sister is finally home, which was just so freaking amazing and wonderful. One downside is that me and my family have to be quarantined for 14 days now, which should be fun but also maybe terrible at times. Today we pretty much played games, went through all of her souvenirs she got in the philippines, and just talked about her time in the philippines and what happened when she was gone. Today has literally been the best day of this really long break.

Today was a good day, me and my mom went shopping for my birthday and got a couple other things. I still try and keep 6 feet away. My schedule hasn’t really changed cause it is basically just quarantine and chill. It hasn’t really changed much in another way because during the week my mom has work so there really isn’t a lot to do other then just play basketball at my hoop or play video games. I am still kind of sad cause i don’t get to see my friends, or having to watch what I eat. That is, until my parents tell me some news or they talk about it
My mom is still informing me to watch my hands and what I touch and wash them. Also today I found out some news that a 4j bus driver has gotten corona, and I’m lucky because I don’t ride the bus. Otherwise there is a chance that I might have corona. Also that the coronavirus is in Eugene officially. I can see why Gov. Kate brown is following the steps of Gov. Gavin Newsom (gov. of California) and Jay Inslee (gov. of Washington) because Washington and California have the 1st most and 3rd most confirmed cases of coronavirus. So I see why Kate Brown has been following their steps because they have a lot of confirmed cases. So as always take the extra effort to wash your hands and watch who you touch and stay safe and stay inside and make you and your family safe and corona-free.

Well today was a really great day my brother, was here so I got to hangout with him today and my whole family which was pretty fun. We also found out that my sister is going to get home tomorrow really late which is really exciting. Today me and my family, more like me and my siblings, played a lot of games. We also went and bought some poster paper so that we could make some really cringing posters for when my sister gets off the plane. My family and I are trying to decide if we should bring my dog to the airport when we go pick up my sister because she was always the dog’s favorite and she loved him so much they had a special connection. I sort of ignored some of my friends today, which I honestly feel bad about but I wanted to spend time with my family. Anyway today overall was a really good day. Oh ya and I that we are going to be doing some type of online school which I’m honestly really excited for because it will be something to do. Also I heard that a 4j bus driver got the corona so now the corona is officially in Eugene……..so that’s just great, but luckily it wasn’t my bus driver or else I might have gotten the corona.

Today is the ninth day of being out of school and I already am bored out of my mind. Everyday I have so much time to kill but I can’t go anywhere or visit anyone because of the virus. It’s good that my mom is making me do two hours of Khan Academy and at least thirty minutes of reading each day to give me something to do rather than play video games and watch tv all day. The weather outside is nice and I like to go outside and do yard work with my mom as well as jump on the trampoline with Adam and play basketball in the cul de sac.
