This weekend went by so quick, I had gone out with my friends to the park on Saturday. I rarely see them, so now that its a bit odd during the first hour because its not the same as before with no masks, no asking ‘You brought hand sanitizer?’, and just the overall fact its been so long. We had been at the kid’s playground sitting at table, all three of us on one side because the other side was dirty with rotting berries falling off the trees. Then to a secluded picnic table that’s pretty far, we sat there for a while before all nearly freezing. It was nice tho just being with friends, we even headed by our old high school and the area we used to sit at after the school day.

On Sunday, I had begun my two genres for the project, a poem and journal entry as Brodem. I truly wish I could draw because I would have but I lack all skill. With the semester ending soon I’m feeling pretty confident with all the work I’ve done. As much as I hate online it has allowed me the time to sit and work through everything more efficiency, even if it takes a whole day.

At this point, did it to myself, I gotta make sure to post twice or few times a week to hit the 12 mark by Christmas. Anyway tho, this week went by kinda quick, but does that really mean much when all days mesh together ? My workload got lighten by a Professor giving everyone a 100 for a short group project. Although it was short, I’m just glad since last time I was having issues with my group. Emails were being sent out and no one was responding until we had like 4 days left for an essay.

Other than that I actually didn’t have too much work this week, did Kutay’s reaction paper. Had to do the weekly quiz we get for my Anthropology class, that’s always fun… Sometimes they can easy, other times I just gotta hope on that 25 percent sure on getting it right.

I’v completely neglected this even when I tried or knew I should’ve updated it. It’s just I don’t even know what to write in here, I don’t see it as a real journal as I won’t want to write out my actual issues to all to see. I’m also just completely busy with schoolwork, I spend a whole day either doing work or a day taking a break from it so I don’t completely burn myself out.

Besides school having a complete hold of my life, I don’t have much to say, still spending all of my time at home, especially with cases back on the rise. Only thing I can say that’s been a highlight recently was financial aid finally working and coming through. I no longer have to worry about having enough to pay for college, better yet I even got a refund check so that’s nice. With the holiday season here and my birthday right after, I gotta try to make sure it lasts.

Once again, I don’t have much to share, I’m uploading this late technically cause I got too invested in Among Us. In my defense, my weekdays are filled with only school and homework, I hadn’t hung out in weeks, so I use my weekends to just play. Until Sunday where I try to finish all the work that’s due Monday and Tuesday. Although last Friday my professor had cancelled class, so I very much used that day to go and hang with friends.

Other than that, I still been on top of my work, as tiring as it may be, and at times annoying but I’m doing good. Now time to do my personal narrative and go back to Among Us.

While this week has come to an end, I feel like I managed to crack a code. I somehow am able to sit myself down and work on my studies. It’s not easy, and I guess it never is, but at least I can go through a textbook and retain info. As well as finishing all work one or two days before its done, giving me much more free time than I saw myself having.

All my classes are good honestly, hate having to sit and listen to lectures through a screen but its no different than any other time, since I already stare at screens for entertainment.

I know I’m not the only one when I say I didn’t expect college to start this way. I remember junior year, envisioning what college would be like as I sent out my applications. I wasn’t at all scared, if anything excited at the prospect of new friends and a new environment. It’s of course a huge let down now, but one that I’ll overcome with time. The professors and classes were as welcoming as they can be, we’re lucky to have professors who understand how we feel and try the best at giving a real college experience.

Other than that, the work has been manageable, but I personally can already see the issues arising, I can’t work online. If I did, I would’ve been doing online college, I need to be in the environment of a school to get my best work out. Being at home with my dog, my TV, my gaming console, no one to know if I’m truly working allows me to do whatever I want. Moreover, going straight into college after quarantine and being bored at home just doesn’t mix. I had applied for this class as I’m very interested in the human mind and the reasons behind everything we do. The effects of mental health on a damaged mind
