Raise a quarantini to 21 Cursed years

it was to my advantage in France that we made the posting deadline based on Massachusetts time, but here I am paying the consequences by now having a shorter time to post (like before midnight)

I need to take a nap, so Im just leaving this here so I don’t get into any trouble with the authorities (demerit free since 2019).

I did skim recent posts and it is funny how with all this time on our hands posts seems short as ever. I have lots of thots on this and why this is, but that’s generally how it goes for me. more Time is not necessarily more productivity 🙄

I promise I’ll come back for this!

I am indeed a woman of my words, so here I am, back again to flesh out the toenails of this post. I did sleep until past midnight yesterday, so it's good i made that placeholder or I would have been in real hot water. The demerit rule of 10 spectators, not that I think of it, is ILLEGAL at the moment.

special birthday from mary

Since last week, life has just been about being lazy and doing some schoolwork via Zoom. It hasn't been that bad though.

Things I sometimes do but want to do more because I really don't do it that often

- Read BOOKS

- watch MOVIEs and tv shows ((some movies I watched recently though and liked: Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Mood Indigo -- I really liked Mood Indigo! The editing is really wacky. It reminds me of the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.))

-go on longer walks

-study korean

-play animal crossings

-coloring

-embroidery

-learn how to use adobe software (I want to make a zine or something)

-also that doodle game is super fun

Things I do sometimes and I should do more often not because I want to but because I have to

-homework

-thinking about the future and medical school

Things I do Too much

-eat (junk) food

-phone time

-sleep (BUT actually every day I wake up sometime between 6-8am which is weird for me. Might be the jet lag still or that I have classes but it's like not a struggle which is strange for me. Granted, I go to sleep a lot earlier than normal.

-eat sugar...

Things I do a good amount

- drink water

As you may know, this past Tuesday was my 21st birthday! Ah to be 21 in the USA, the world just opens up doesn't it. I really didn't do that much but my cooked me a lot of delicious food which always makes me very happy. I wasn't very happy though when she made us go outside to take photos.... Some of them were funny though.

Some of my favorite artists on Instagram/Etsy have kindly put out coloring pages in these trying times so I've put myself to task trying to complete some of them. If anyone is interested, I can send them!

I barely do homework as is but this day I decided to do none at all.

One of my classes is a theatre class and we were supposed to attend 5 productions. That's clearly out the window... Instead of going to the opera we got to watch a 3 hour opera online... It was better than I expected, but nevertheless it was quite long.

What's it like being 21?

I'll tell you when I find out more haha. I think in the past year a lot has changed for me. So much you wouldn't believe! Haha, kinda kidding kinda not. I think even more is gonna change in this coming year. It's really hard to visualize though.. since you know, the rona.. everyone has their different theories about when things will calm down and I don't know what to believe. So I'll just be waiting here quietly, biding my time. I think thankfully I'm in a good head space mentally during this time. I know for a lot of people, this is a difficult time, if not for economic reasons, then for mental health reasons. If anyone wants to talk, zoome me!

Oh also, I, in fact did not raise a quarantini this year. My mom only had wine and I don't like it as I've said before. People are always like ohhh you haven't tried "good" or the "right" wine, but I can tell you I don't think it's that. Also, I think France is allegedly supposed to have good wine. But n'importe quoi, we didn't have any of the good stuff, so I remain ignorant to the taste of alcohol on American soil.

until next week!
