I have been home from school since the 11th of march, cant lie at first it was amazing, I worked more hours hung out with friends a little but things took a turn for the worse. on the 16th my boss closed our shop for a week so we can see how the virus is progressing. however we had to reopen within 3 days because we got a lot of cars. since I work in an auto body repair shop I’m in a closed up shop all day so I was starting to feel a little nervous since there is no constant air flow. luckily my boss is really understanding and cooperative, he got an air flow system for the entire shop. although we got the system for the shop all of us are still wearing gloves, face masks, and washing our hands and face frequently. not going to lie the corona virus is bad for the environment but I’m considering my self lucky because I’m not feeling sick at all and I can still make money while still attending classes. honestly while writing this I’m at work right now, I would add a picture but I haven’t figured out how to on mobile. hope everyone is safe.

I have been doing fine. I’ve have gone out to the gym to workout but now it’s closed. On Sunday I went out to eat Korean bbq with my 4 cousins. I started to get back into playing PC games since there is nothing to do. I’m mostly playing Call of Duty Warzone which recently came out. I haven’t done anything school-related in a while and need to catch up on homework and classes so I don’t fail.

Hey guys, Sorry I haven’t posted here in OpenLab. Just trying to figure things out with this distance learning and most importantly getting used to it. This coronavirus is nothing to play with. It is a serious problem that is taking over the world. As of today, I feel very worried and a little foolish because I was one of the people that was joking around this virus and not taking it serious. I learned the hard way that this virus is just getting worst. Since my job and my school are both closed, I’m spending way too much time at home and isolating myself from gatherings outside. I’m not doing much besides eating, sleeping and watching TV shows. Netflix has become my ride or die best friend lol. Breaking Bad is honestly the greatest tv show of all time. I’m not used to being at home the entire day. However, I got to understand that not being around people is probable the best way to slow down this virus. I’m feeling okay and healthy. Hope everyone is also safe and healthy. Let’s get through this!

Honesty when we was talking about this whole virus thing in class and how we would have to transition to classes online… I thought we was just joking. But it’s really serious. Governor is debating on giving curfews, everyone is buying groceries from the supermarket and are now being very careful. And then there’s me .. I don’t see it as something so serious. I don’t know why I think like this honestly but just being away from home right now and being with the National Guard doesn’t really make me scared at all well if I’m really telling the truth I wasn’t scared at all honestly thought this was just a little phase that was going to pass us and move on but it looks like it’s going to stick around for a while. I hope not

I went to Trader Joe’s a few days ago and I saw these women fighting over toilet paper. It was an old women and a a young adult this is sad no respect for the elderly people I wonder how they are getting there groceries during this crisis.

I’m trying my best to stay inside most of the time the first few days I actually liked staying home and doing nothing but now I’m getting tired of it. I went out yesterday for a walk with a few of my friends because I felt like I was suffocating in my own house there were less people on the streets and some of the stores were closed. Most of my online classes have already started so I got up today around 10 to finish my online math homework then I had some breakfast and watched Netflix for a while I’m not really sure how I’m going to spend the rest of my  day but I’m trying my best to stay productive I might go for a run later in the afternoon on sheepshead bay next to the water because all of the gyms are currently closed or just stay home and hang out with my family.

I’ve been feeling alright since last week Thursday, I haven’t really been in quarantine though. I go out to skate sometimes, I’m also a smoker so I kind of have to go outside. Since the streets have been deserted I go out bombing (to bomb or hit is to paint many surfaces in an area, i.e do graffiti). The other day I walked all of Northern Blvd in Jackson Heights with my friend Tocer2. Then we turned on Broadway and walked to Astoria. I know my friends skate the city since midtown is deserted too. I haven’t really gone to the city, just because I’m too lazy but I plan on going later this week to buy some clothes. I’ve been pretty calm about the whole thing. Yesterday I found out that there has been in 10 cases of people testing positive for covid-19 in Jackson Heights, here in Queens where I’m from. That made me a little cautious, maybe even a little nervous to be honest. Today my mom comes back from Colombia, so I plan on staying inside the house today until my mom lands in JFK. I’m nervous for her because I don’t want her catching corona in the airplane, her health hasn’t been so good lately so I’m scared that can get sick easily.

Diary Entry 2 Yesenia Matute

I been good, I been buying to many thing for my house every time I go out I buy new thing that I need. I feel like i been buying things that I don’t need but I still buy it . I clean my house every day. Every time I come home from outside I go to my bathroom and wash my hands. I feel like being in my house will drive me crazy. My cousins, sister,a and I try to keep our self occupy. We all put our phones down and then we try to do something all together. We bought coloring books, word search books, and we bought some bored games. We are trying to keep our self occupied we don’t want to be so much on our phone.

Doctors and nurses around the world are risking their lives to treat all of the patients with corona virus please stay at home not only for your sake but theirs too
