Diary Entry 1

April 3rd, 2020- Gravesend, BK. New York.

1:21 a.m.

Dear Diary,

I’ve been going crazy at home. I’ve literally done nothing, I honestly have no energy. I really wish this never happened. I thought it would be fun to stay at home and do online school work. But it’s the worst! I went to bjs today with my mother and there were so many people there. Everyone’s lives are really changing and it’s crazy! My dad is working at the hospital and he’s completely scared. My brother has become a complete germaphobic. I just want to go out already!

Dear Diary,

I’ve started to work again today. I guess I’m “essential” lol. I work at a Mexican restaurant and it’s been so busy! But I’m glad I got to finally leave the house. I was super bored at home. But I’m actually kinda scared of being outside. My parents don’t even want me going to work but I really don’t want to ask them for money. I passed by my grandma’s house earlier to drop something off for her since she can’t go outside, I obviously didn’t go inside her house. So I spoke to her through her window! I miss my family so much! I just want to hug my little cousins. But we all have to remain patient.

2:30 p.m.

Dear Diary,

I’m feeling lazy today but I have to go to work in a couple of hours. My dad is starting to get a little sick and my mom is super worried. He has a cough. I really hope it’s just a cough. He works in the emergency room which is where all the new corona patients arrive. Both my brother and dad have to take their temperature day and night. They also have to write it down. My mom makes sure we keep our house clean. She keeps a box full of alcohol wipes to clean our phones. My dad brings a lot of things from the hospital for us such as hand sanitizer and face masks. I’m really thankful for my dad. He really shouldn’t be working so much especially during this time. Every time we sit and eat at the kitchen counter he’ll tell me his stories about the patients there (btw he’s just a housekeeping worker). I can’t imagine what it’s been like in the hospital right now.

Diary Entry 4

April 9th, 2020- Gravesend, BK. New York

10:26 a.m.

I woke up so early today for the first time in forever. My sleeping schedule is so messed up. I ate breakfast with my parents and then I started my laundry. I hope today goes by fast because I’m tired of being bored. I should be doing school work but I seriously have no motivation. My sister has been leaving the house to see her boyfriend so I really don’t know what I’m going to do today! I’ve been in contact with both Yesenia and Tazz and we keep each other updated. It’s Thursday today and all I’ve been entertaining myself with is make up and tiktok. I’ve been obsessed with tiktok. I don’t understand why people don’t like it. It’s so addicting and I got so many views which got me hype
