Reading and Reflection assignment #1 Michael

I picked ā€œThe Diary of a Wimpy kidā€ because that was my childhood book. Growing up in elementary school my teacher used to lend us books so that we can read at home. I remember I picked this book because it catched my attention due to how the book was made. The cover of the book had so many details , on how the drawings were made & the word font of the book. The main character of the book is called ā€œGreg Heffleyā€. The thing that made this book interesting and funny was his personality, for me I felt that he wanted to be known by everyone fit in , almost like being famous since he mentioned that in the book. His actions he made were entertaining because he would try his best to do anything just to get what he wanted.

Sometimes I can relate to him because when I feel I want to accomplish something, Iā€™ll do anything to achieve it but sometimes I may make silly mistakes or just make myself look clumsy without noticing. The way Greg would use his imagination was helpful for him to achieve his goals. When I want to get something accomplished I sometimes use my imagination so that I can picture it in my head and have a sense on how I would get it done. Also having a plan can be a really helpful thing because you have an outline on how everything is going to turn out so you donā€™t have to worry whatā€™s going to happen next , since you have everything in your head ready. Greg Heffley would also pull pranks and make jokes with his friends just to have fun. Thatā€™s another thing I like to do , have fun , telling jokes and just having a great time with my friends & family.Ā 

 

This book Inspired me to work hard & in life you would have to come across things that can block you from what you’re achieving. Since this book is a diary of a kid , I can understand what he goes through everyday and I feel itā€™s a good way to express yourself. A person reading a book about someoneā€™s everyday life can make them understand and realize what type of person they are without even knowing them in real life.Ā 

Diary Assignment #1 Michael

March 23, 2020

8:00am

I woke up early and was in a good mood. I went to brush my teeth and make some breakfast which was a sandwich. I was looking through the news on my phone about whatā€™s going on in the world with this virus and everyday cases are increasing.

10:30am

Iā€™m waiting for my math professor to get on zoom so the lesson can start. To be honest at first itā€™s weird just seeing the professor teach through camera but then I just got use to it. I rather be in school physically because I feel more concentrated and focused. Ā Also besides that being on the screen for a long time bothers my eyes & and then I just get sleepy.

1:20pm

Well all my classes finished and Iā€™m finally ready to rest. Ā Iā€™m laying down watching tv and being on my phone at the same time. I realize that I need to workout for a little as well. I start to work out for 45min. When I finally finished working out I took a shower and now Iā€™m laying down once again.

11:30am

Today is Tuesday which is my day off from school. Im glad I didnā€™t have to wake up early šŸ™‚ , well same thing everyday I went to brush my teeth and made breakfast. Everyone in my family was already awake because of either they had to go to work or also have online class. I took my time to do my things since I wasnā€™t in a rush.

2:00pm

Iā€™m currently sitting down at my couch playing video games online with my friends, some of the games we play are Fifa 20, Call of Duty and other fun ones, Iā€™m just relaxing and having fun since this is what we all can do.

5:00pm

I just finished eating dinner and now Iā€™m looking at the news in my phone and things are just the same. Ā This is how I just spend my day off from school. I really need to find things to do so I wonā€™t be so bored

March 25, 2020

8:00am

Today I woke up feeling good as usually. While I wait for my English professor to post the assignment, I go ahead and brush my teeth and get something small to eat since Iā€™m not really that hungry in the morning. Ā I also get on social media and see other kids posting on Snapchat or Facebook about online school.

10:30am

Itā€™s time for my next class of the day, Iā€™m currently waiting for my professor to get on and start teaching.

1:20pm

Im finally done with all my classes and feel great that all I got to do now is sit back and relax. Well of course study and do my assignments as well but that can be done without any rush

5:00pm

I just finished eating lunch and for the rest of the day Iā€™m going to keep myself busy by doing my assignments, watch Netflix, hear music and just stay safe/healthy

March 26, 2020

12:00pm

Today I woke up at this time because last night I stayed up watching Netflix and also itā€™s my day off today. I have class on Mondays, Ā Tuesdays & Saturdayā€™s. Ā So I have good time to do any homeworkā€™s / assignments.

1:30 pm

After I finished eating an hour later I started to work out for 45min & after that I showered as usual.

6:00pm

Im laying down in bed just watching random YouTube videos to keep me entertained, even though at this time I would head to the gym to work out. I hope things get better so we all can get our normal lifeā€™s back , remember to stay safe and be healthy šŸ™‚ .

 

Diary entry 2 Michael

Hello everyone! How are you guys doing? I hope everyone is safe.Ā  So currently I’m home instead of being outside in this beautiful weather šŸ™ but at least I get to do this this assignment. Its been a boring week because of this virus going on. Everything has shutdown which sucks, we can’t go anywhere outside but just walk around I guess .Ā  Although they recommend us to stay at home for our safety but like me I get so bored being home all day, no matter what I do.Ā  The thing that bothered me the most is that the gyms are closed , I have been working out at home but it doesn’t feel the same as the gym. In the morning I sometimes go run around the park since I can’t run at home. Overall this virus has affected many people because some lost there job due to shutting down restaurants or business companies.Ā  Also the panic of buying so much food and accessories, I feel that’s extra becauseĀ  some people take everything and they don’t leave some for other people especially the one’s in need.Ā  I pray that all this goes away and we have our normal lives back, stay safe everyone.

Coronavirus blog

To be honest this Coronavirus has been driving a lotĀ  people crazy. I understand that this virus is very dangerous and can spread quickly but I feel that itā€™s not necessary for people to start being rude and thinking wrong about others when they sneeze or cough. Iā€™ve also seen people talking about it and react to it on social media. Iā€™ve seen so many memes as well such as these šŸ™‚ to be honest I like memes but when I see these, I first find it kinda funny but then itā€™s like something we canā€™t joke around with but then again Ā thatā€™s how media is. Ā All we can do for now is stay safe and keep aware of your surroundings. The things I do is keep positive and just live your life the best. Ā
