Dear Diary,
I just woke up and I feel eager today, because my friend invited me to play a pickup baseball game in Manhattan today with other ball players the night before. I know I shouldn’t be outside during these events with the virus but, I cant turn down a baseball game. I just got done getting ready and I am about to head out.
9:05 am
I am on the B35 bus going to the F train to meet my friend at the McDonald avenue station. I didn’t see him on the train at first because the train was moving too fast, he told me in the middle. I am sitting on the cart toward the end and I will go to middle to see if I spot him, and I do end up seeing him, we are on our way to the field.
10:11 am
We are at the field now and it is very empty. There are no soccer players or little kids here (which is usually the case), there just a man with his rottweiler playing fetch. This virus has New York city appearing as a ghost town and it seems like total juxtaposition when those two words are regarding one another. I see only a few ball players here, but I know more will come soon.
3: 40 pm
I am leaving the park now with my friend, we all played two 9 inning games in the during of our stay. The weather got gradually warm since had arrived there and I am only wearing my compression. I am boarding now entering the train station and the train has arrived.
6:12 pm
I am now home after having taken a shower and put on clean clothes after coming out of my baseball attire, I will have to wash these clothes very soon before it gives my other dirty clothes a bad odor. I was decent in both games I played today, the first game they made me play second base and bat eight in the order. On defense I had 2 put outs and almost turned a double play but made a wild throw to first and for offense I went 1-3 with an infield single. For the second game I played in Left field and batted ninth in the order this time. For defense I had 3 put outs and got a runner trying to dig for a double and for offense I went 0-3 with 1 flyout, a strikeout, a groundout.
11:44 pm
I just woke up from my nap, thirsty, and I am about to watch some Law and Order SVU on Hulu. The episode was about a Billionare who was responsible for killing a teenager but couldn’t be held accountable. I then watch subway fights on Youtube until I had to go and sleep.

9:40 am I just woke up from my sleep and I see I have a missed call from my sister, I call her back and she tells me that she is bringing the dog over to the house (since our dog died 2 weeks ago, she brings her grandbaby over to visit me). I go shower and brush my teeth and get ready for my U.S history class online, it isn’t really a class it is just a forum to post your opinion on topics discussed in class.
11:30 am
I am now starting my Spanish course, it is fairly easy with only a few tests and some worksheets, It isn’t a live video chat course. Currently we are learning about family members and ser and estar.
12:50 pm
I am finished with my Spanish class and I get a call from my sister that she is downstairs with the dog, he is a Pitbull that is over two feet tall and 87 pounds, however he is very whiny and always needs attention from humans. When I bring him upstairs into the room the cat scratches him and make him crash into the wall., he doesn’t want to go near the cat after the previous incident.
3:45 pm
I am preparing to go to the park now with him after letting him sleep for some time since he arrived, he is excited and jumps around.
4:35 pm
We are now heading home from the park and he is tired, all we did was play fetch and tug of war with the rope.
