Journal one

March 23 2020

School was cancelled until May 1st. So I guess that's something I can maybe be excited about.

Since I skipped a grade last year I don't have as many really good friends as the average person, so I guess I could say that it's good? I still have friends, not saying I'm a completely lonely person. But I guess maybe?

The big AP Human Geography test is on Wednesday, so I might not do an entry tomorrow so I can study for the test. Yup, I study on the last day and the last day only. I usually get a pretty good score though, so I'm fine.

My brother keeps saying we're all going to die and North Korea will be the most powerful country after all of this. If it happens, I don't know what I'm going to do.

Maybe it's because I don't have my three art classes to worry about, but I finish my work very easily. I'd say I'm maybe getting the same amount of homework. I'm definitely getting normal amounts from science and math. Also English, but thanks to this journal the "moment in time" assignment where I have to reflect about my thoughts becomes automatically done.

I wrote a big emotional part for my other book yesterday, I wouldn't say it's that great but at least I wrote it. I think I need to draw more emotion into the chapter to really describe what happened, but I'm not the kind of person who has real experience with the stuff in the chapter. I can't relate to a lot of the emotional concepts I will bring into the book. I guess I will just have to improvise using strategies I've found from other books.

Anyways, the economy's pretty bad now. I haven't experienced its direct effects myself yet because I don't work, at least not officially, but indirectly I have been affected. Hopefully this will go away soon. It's weird how I'm living through a part of history that will be talked about in the future. They won't specifically talk about me or anything I did, but something I lived through will be taught at schools if we survive this.
