Interview Transcript of my Grandmother (dad’s mom) (same call as my grandfather)

What are your thoughts on corona virus?

She said she is scared of going out but think we’ll be ok (bless her heart)

Have you been doing anything different?

She said she hasn’t been able to meet with her bible study group as she used to (she is a strong Christian)

How have you been feeling during this pandemic?

She said a little lonely and can’t wait to see us after (we rarely see her since she lives in Georgia)

Interview Transcript of my Abuela (mom’s mom) (my family and I visited her and talked from a distance with her mask on)

I asked how she was doing in quarentine

She said she was happier (I highly doubt that as she always told my mom she was lonely)

I asked what has she been doing

She said staying home more often than usual (she usually goes for a walk or to the grocery store)

I asked what she was cooking during the pandemic (she's a Hispanic grandmother so she cooks a lot of Hispanic food)

She said not as much as she used to cook (she cooked for us whenever we visited which was usually once a month)

Interview Transcript of my Grandfather (impossible to record call)

I asked what he thought of quarentine

He said it did not make much of a difference in his normal life (he rarely goes out)

I asked him what he was doing

He said what he normally does... (similar answer to my other question, but thats the way he is and we bond over it)

I asked if he had been working as much (he owns a bible company called Rollins Pilot)

He said he noticed more orders than usual (I think he was just getting his yearly “rush” of buyers)

This video is me wearing my school jacket, which was once neglected and was rarely worn. After reaching 45 degrees in Florida, I decided to wear it because it was too cold for me to handle. After one day of wearing it, I decided it was actually pretty comfortable. It made me feel safe and proud of myself.

Corona virus used to be a fun thing to joke about mid February. Who know it could get so serious. It still might not be so deadly, but it can always grow.

In case you don’t know what this meme is, a tradition for funerals is too “give the dead person a party to their grave” and is currently a popular meme going throughout the internet. This meme describes all the bad possibilities lurking in what could be the worsts month of 2020.

An Entry of Journal on a Time Capsule, 11:40PM May 5th: I wanted to share my thoughts on how cool the idea of making a time capsule is. I always had bad memory and easily forgot what I was doing or forgot a really cool idea minutes after creating it, so this actually helps me a lot. This time capsule makes me think about what is to come next in the future. The corona virus pandemic is still active and nobody knows when it will truly end. If a state reopens itself, more and more people can get sick and quarantine will start all over again. Not to mention how a virus can adapt to certain conditions and could wipe out a greater amount of the world’s population. High school is coming fast even with online school in session and I still don’t fully know what I am interested in. As of now, most likely business because of how exciting it sounds, but that idea can easily change. I still have potential ideas of becoming a news anchor, or a meteorologist, or even an IT. The future does is unpredictable, and that keeps me awake at night from time to time. Maybe it is just my curious mind overthinking, but anything is possible. To my future self, I hope you have the job you want or you’re studying a good major at Penn State. I want you to look back at this and remember how complicated life can be, and use that to push through any hard times you may have. There is hope for you when all is lost. Never forget that.

I remember at the start of 2020, I loved wearing this jacket ever since it hit forty-five degrees. So I found it again in my closet and have decided to wear it yet again, except it isn’t backwards and Gordon Ramsay (joke from morning announcements in case you forgot) is not part of it.

I hate to be political in general, but this headline is giving me serious flashbacks to the start of January when World War III was about to start. It scares me thinking about how Kim Jong Un is going to react to the world celebrating his “likely death.” May is certainly going to be an interesting month.

Entry of Journal 11:59pm April 30th: With the direction 2020 has gone in, I remember a lot of people thinking how poorly this month will go. I can’t blame them. Expectations usually develop through what has happened in the past. Surprising enough, nothing bad seems to have happened which is difficult to believe. The only bad things that can really be noted by me is the fact online school is in session. Otherwise, 2020 seems to be a good month compared to January, February, and April. Of course there are probably a TON of stories and new articles explaining bad events that happened. Throughout this month, I saw myself become happier than I usually am during school. I may have seemed somewhat calm and happy, but down inside I felt something was missing in my life, and this month was when I found it. Sometimes it is hard for me to tell if I look happy by others, so this probably sounded confusing to whoever reads this. Just know I may have looked all “normal” and “happy” but I also felt down for the past few months. During April, I started to develop an idea to work at Publix. I found out that fourteen year-olds can make minimum wage when working four hours a day. Doing the math (without taxes) I calculated I could earn about $2,500 from working over the summer five days a week. I might apply if there are no complications with minors entering stores during this chaotic virus. As I am typing this sentence, it is officially the beginning of May. Something bad might happen, and I can feel it. To my future self who might read this journal entry, know this: Online school is so much worse than regular school. I think the reason is self explanatory.

A Poem of Life:

To my future self,
Who is hopefully full of wealth,
I hope you are doing well,
Here is my message to tell.
About life.

Life can really suck,
It can rob you of 10,000 bucks,
You will want it to be deluxe,
With cute moments of “aww shucks”
But you must push through.

Just remember the time,
Where you were at your prime,
Did not commit a crime,
Despite the corny rhymes,
About life.

On the other hand,
Your happiness once lost command,
Of the mind that was your land,
This event you did not plan,
But, (hopefully) you pushed through.

If you are ever feeling down,
Or feel like you need to leave your town,
And your life has turned to brown,
Remember a turning object in motion usually comes back around,
And stays on track.

If you think you’ve come to an end,
With plenty of time left to spend,
Ask for help from many friends,
Hopefully the ones on which you can depend,
There is always hope.

There was hope for me,
Which made me smile with glee,
I think we can both agree,
Sometimes in life you can get pretty lucky,
And you will always have that.
Always.

Though it is in plain sight, I keep forgetting these boards. As I open the boards, I realized how much stress these projects gave me. I wish I could burn them as firewood and cook s’mores with the same fire.

Great! The virus is starting to clear out. If you were to read more of it, “...every county except Dade, Palm Beach and Broward counties, where most of the state's COVID-19 cases have been reported...” I could not be more mislead by what I have read. This truly makes me sad.

Scavenged my room and found this, my old Xbox. Thought I would try using it again and it helped me reconnect with old friends. Thanks Corona!

Finally! A Midsummer Night’s Dream arrives in the mail. At this angle it looks like my book is floating. I promise it isn’t.

Very interesting competition. Could this lead to the downfall of Zoom?

For some reason I thought this was relatable to my brother, who always has bottles of Propel in his room. Apparently some sort of Pokémon reference.

A Brief Entry of Journal: Today is 4/28/2020 on a Tuesday. Online classes... yay. I couldn’t fall asleep until 5 in the morning so i had to push through morning classes. During “lunch” is when I actually eat breakfast so that gives me some energy. Of course I have my purple durag on during class. It brings me luck somehow and I’ll always wear it. I heard it was confirmed online school had increased time and bashed my keyboard with my own fist. Why is it fair that online school is basically longer than regular school. When typing this, I’m in Mrs. Tacher’s class because she told us to write an entry. She shows us her Planbook tab and somebody points out all her Amazon tabs and I silently laugh to my muted iPad screen. When you are reading this Mrs. Tacher, I don’t judge you for making your website, but that was a lot of tabs for amazon.
