Shelter-in-place. Social distancing. National emergency. Rapid spread. The new COVID-19 coronavirus has closed many schools, and as the days have passed, the closure has elongated. In response to such unprecedented occurrences and measures, me and my family were shocked. Something that nobody in this generation has experienced has happened  abruptly and is continuously growing at the simple event that has taken place from the beginnings of humankind: human interaction. To keep in touch with my friends, I have called, played with, and messaged them via videogames, social media, and facetime. Although it is some sort of interaction, I miss them. I miss the face-to-face interaction, but this is not addressed towards everyone that I consider my friends; just a handful. I'll leave it on that note. 

KR,
Jarenz Castillo

It is truly unfortunate because I missed out on Prom, I didn't get to take my end of the year pictures, and I can't see my friends. I just wish the world caught on to the virus sooner, so we would be able to return to school and go out.]]> 2020-04-21 19:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jcast0008/bzu709667ko6/wish/521279590 jcast0008 https://padlet.com/jcast0008/bzu709667ko6/wish/521289472 Boredom is not so bad. If anything, boredom is a blessing that we often neglect and take advantage of. Being bored means that we have everything our life is alright. Being bored means that we can relax. Being bored means that we are healthy. In times like these, I have come to realize that boredom is an underrated luxury that we do not acknowledge enough. Do not be ungrateful for boredom, do not despise it, rather, be thankful for it. Be thankful for all we have.]]> 2020-04-21 19:51:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jcast0008/bzu709667ko6/wish/521289472 jcast0008 https://padlet.com/jcast0008/bzu709667ko6/wish/538003675 I have played a lot of Fortnite with my girlfriend, her younger sister, and my baby cousin, and we have gotten over 50 wins over the span of 20 days.]]> 2020-04-29 03:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jcast0008/bzu709667ko6/wish/538003675 jcast0008 https://padlet.com/jcast0008/bzu709667ko6/wish/538003750 As I customize shoes, I customized Forrest Gump Cortezes and replaced the red with orange using Angelus Paint.

We exchanged gifts, and I gave her air-force 1s that I customized with lilac paint. This was my first pair of shoes ever customized.
