Dear Diary,
I woke up weary today. I had a cup of coffee and a chocolate chip cookie. That quick breakfast made me feel better. I’m so bored.
1:30 PM
Just went to Dunkin and got a donut, after that I went to a big park that is in front of my apartment. Stayed there with my sisters for two hours. It felt relaxing but at the same time weird because usually the park it is always full of children. No motion of cars or people in the street it felt like never before. But you know, I felt like I accomplished something big. I’m glad I did something different.

Hey Diary,
I had to wake up early this morning. I usually wake up around 11-12 am. I had math lecture with my prof, for an hour and 10 mins. I went all good, I was having my breakfast, taking notes and participating in the same time. You might laugh but it worked out well.
3:40 PM
I’m here to tell you that quarantine is not going that bad. I just did a lemon cake, of course with my sister’s help. I did put it in the oven 20 min ago, I must go and check before I burn it. I will keep you updated.
5:00PM
I want to say that that lemon cake was ‘’WOW’’. My whole family enjoyed it so much. Now I need to go and study for my psychology midterm and do my math homework.

Dear Diary,
I woke up this morning feeling so tired like all the other days. I had a French toast and a cup of yogurt. My online class starts at 10 AM and I set my alarm since 9 AM so I was getting ready. I liked the method my math professor teaching us today, so understandable. After that I had to start at 11:00 AM my psychology midterm. I was so stressed. I was having a nice day until I heard that my aunt had this virus and I’m really worried about her health right now. I’m praying for her to get better.
9:00 PM
Hey back,
This was a packed day. I did my midterm. I would say it was not enough time to finish both parts of the test, but I managed my time successfully. I’m so nervous about my scores.

10:00 AM
Just had a toast and a cup of coffee. I’m really thinking what I should do today to make my day better. Staying all day in my bedroom, it is depressing. Doing chores and watching Netflix had been my daily routine. I’m trying to figure out to do something different today.
The food, the insight. All good, Sigi. You seem to have a can-do attitude that comes through in your writing. It sounds…calm.
How is Yonkers?
Good work. Keep writing.
