Ever since the pandemic occurred, airplane tickets have been cheaper, leading to more visits to Chicago. Chicago is where most of my family lives and there is always something to celebrate there. This past year has led me to realize how much brighter your life can be when spending time with family. And the time with family really lets me dig deep and connect with my Hindu roots. It allows me to better understand my religion and connect with all the festivals. I feel different after each trip to Chicago. I feel more open and grounded to my family and religion. Like my last trip to Chicago was a couple weeks ago and I only stayed there for two days. But it was nice to see my whole family again. Just seeing my younger cousins, older relatives, and smiling faces made my day. There was an indescribable feeling. I don’t really know how much more I can write on this topic. Because a feeling can’t be put in words. Although I will conclude this entry with the fact that never isolate yourself from your family. They are the main part of your life and always come through. You know how there is always something that shines a light in darkness. Well for me, family is that light.]]> 2021-05-08 18:35:26 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2307011_13/mstsg8o5n2z78vd9/wish/1505354639 pl2307011_13 https://padlet.com/pl2307011_13/mstsg8o5n2z78vd9/wish/1505497645 Today is May 8, 2021. I had a national speech competition today. It determines whether I qualify for semi-final and final. The results haven’t been released yet so I am worried that I might not do well. I mean, I know it won’t be the end of the world if I don’t qualify. But it's something that I have spent so much time preparing for and yet when I went to my rounds, the other competitors were soooo good. Like how?!! It’s just I’m so nervous because it's a big thing. And even worse, I’m double-entered, meaning that I had to memorize two ten minute speeches. All throughout the competition, from 11:30 to 7:30, I was worried if I would forget something, or if my gestures would be too repetitive. There was always a constant worry and even now when the competition is done. I’m still worried but now it's about the results. And to distract myself, I’m going to end this topic now and start writing about these Indian dance classes I started picking up. They have been so energizing. Like at the end I feel so weak but I feel good to release everything. And everything to me includes my emotions, stiffness, and stress. I find it fun to get rid of everything. It’s like your mind becomes a blank piece of paper that can change shape, color, or size any way you want. Anyways, I think that’s enough of sappy and nerve wracking stuff for the day, so bye!]]> 2021-05-08 20:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2307011_13/mstsg8o5n2z78vd9/wish/1505497645 pl2307011_13 https://padlet.com/pl2307011_13/mstsg8o5n2z78vd9/wish/1505526980 Today, I am going to write about how the pandemic affected me personally. In a good way, I became more open with my family and religion. In a bad way, I became used to eating home-made food, watching TV all the time, and the easy access to everything. Life became so much easier but much more boring for me. Like when I normally go to school, I would walk from class to class and take PE to exercise. Now, I just sit in the same chair all day, only getting up to eat food or go to the bathroom. Additionally, we had to cancel summer plans. These past two years, we were hoping to go to Australia but things had to change and now we have been visiting Chicago too many times to count. And it's not that Chicago is bad, because it's great, it's just I was really looking forward to Australia. Australia’s desserts by Adriano Zumbo are just to die for. And I love desserts. But anyways, life goes on and I’m still alive even though I’m a tad bit unhappy with how the year went. At least, the year is almost over and hopefully things will become normal again.]]> 2021-05-08 21:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2307011_13/mstsg8o5n2z78vd9/wish/1505526980 pl2307011_13 https://padlet.com/pl2307011_13/mstsg8o5n2z78vd9/wish/1505543074 Confidence flowing through my bones
Emotions conveyed through artistic tones

Knots of stress in my back
Relieved by munching on snacks

Dancing away to gain power
Blooming like a flower

Letting everything go to take a nap
Only to awaken through a gentle tap]]> 2021-05-08 21:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2307011_13/mstsg8o5n2z78vd9/wish/1505543074 pl2307011_13 https://padlet.com/pl2307011_13/mstsg8o5n2z78vd9/wish/1507279129 2021-05-10 00:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pl2307011_13/mstsg8o5n2z78vd9/wish/1507279129 pl2307011_13 https://padlet.com/pl2307011_13/mstsg8o5n2z78vd9/wish/1508612149 Lately, I have been feeling pretty.
