In general, this lockdown hasn't been great, but one good thing is that I have become a lot healthier because of it. Since all the time staying at home meant I had more time to work out. I really didn't realize how much I had let my muscles deteriorate, because when this started I could only do a couple push-ups, and my arms felt sore for days. Now I can do up to 30 at once and feel fine afterwards.
I finally got to order my new frames and they were somehow cheaper than the original estimate from like 2 or 3 months ago??? I'm very pleased. I also only had to pay half up front.
i went on a food run and got more of my favorite granola AND ben and jerrys ice cream + my finals and assignments are getting either cancelled or adjusted greatly!!
really wanted to log something here for a few days but I forgot haha. anyway I've finally learned how to cook and I've gotten the courage to post my cookings on social media ; v; can't say they're perfect of course (I overcooked my chicken fillet yesterday lol) but I'm certain I've grown as person & I'm proud!
Quarantine has really be rough for routine and it's been kicking my butt.
I started setting routine schedules and setting alarms to help me keep track. I'm holding myself accountable to getting up early, doing a workout routine, meditation times, cleaning times, study times, etc.
So I'm pretty happy today and feeling good especially with working out first thing in the mornings.
There's some things I'll be getting to complete today finally for school that they held off on giving us due to the shutdowns. So, I'm happy that those things will be out of the way after today.
I had such a good day today. I got a new phone because my old one was falling apart, and I’m glad I did. Then I was going to both exercise and do some work, but I realized I was pushing myself too hard and decided to talk to my friends instead and play some Animal Crossing. I’m glad I did because it was honestly so... refreshing? I just know that I smiled and laughed a lot more today than I have in awhile. I also woke up early this morning. I wish every day was like this...
I hung out with my friends at the park and got McDonalds with them! It was nice to hang out and talk, even though it brought up some drama that I kind of wish I didn’t hear. We just talked and ate chicken nuggets, and it was super fun to come in contact with people again for a change!!
I got my class ranking and final grades, and I averaged a 97 and got 11th in my class! I’m super proud because I worked hard to get those grades, but I know that my friends got higher grades than me. I’m still happy for them though!! I also watched my sister get an award for her sport. I’m super proud of her because she pushed through and injury for her PR, which is crazy to me, but then again she is crazy.
i'm maintaining A's in all my classes right now and i have one more day until i'm done with spring quarter of uni!! hopefully i'll be able to keep these A's after these finals and final projects because i really need the boost. i also finished filling out my study abroad application that i'll be doing with 3 of my best friends, and that's going to be SO fun i can feel it.
Also, last night I saw the most adorable bat hanging out on my back porch. I was coming in from walking my dog right before bed and stopped to speak to the cute little bat. It tilted its head back to look at me and I wanted to squee so badly but was afraid of spooking it. So I left it alone.
I knew there were bats in the area because I occasionally saw them flying around the backyard late at night, but that was my first up-close encounter with one. I love bats!
My cactus, that I thought was dead for months cause it wasn't growing anymore (but also showing no signs of dying) is growing a little FLOWER. It's pink and cute. I put it outside a couple weeks ago cause I had it in my window sill, but then I had to take my plants out of my sill so I put them outside. The bud that was stunted is growing bigger, it has more flower sprouts and I think it's growing another bud.
I found out that I could get student loan forgiveness due to the virus (which I didn't even know was possible) bc my school gave me some money and I asked my dad if he put it towards my loan yet and he said hes waiting to see whats gonna happen bc if we do use that money and my loan is forgiven then basically we wasted it
