January 18th 2021

It is still weird to write 2021, it feels as if 2020 hasn’t ended. But I see why. We accounted so much of it’s craziness to the year. Like Covid, we consider Covid a 2020 thing, but it hasn’t ended so it feels as if 2020 hasn’t ended.

So, January 18th. This morning was woodshop. In a normal scenario we wood be in a literal woodshop, or the one in our school at least. It was good, I enjoyed learning all the machines. But then we went online.

Now we are literally writing down point for point how we would do it, then the teacher does it for us. That is 22 students, I think its safe to stay our chair isn’t getting finished. I don’t mind though, I had no idea where I was going to put it.

Our schedule changes each day. We have a 3 and a half hour class in the morning from 8:15 to 11:30 with one 15 minute break, then another 45 minute class at 1:45 to 2:30. If I have wood shop in the morning then I have drama in the afternoon, and vice versa.

Today was…interesting. Right off the bat I told Mr. Karneji I needed to cut my lower cross tie. Now keep in mind I am just starting it, and a lot other people also need to start things. So then these people decided to overwhelm him with 22 pieces! And he forgets about me. It was quite hilarious, he kept asking questions, but because the boys are awkward turtles no one answered. Which lead to him getting pissed.

Fun times.

But I was on facetime with a group of friends who are also in the class. We mostly just made fun of everyone. Talking to them is probably the best part of my day though, I miss them a lot.

But back to school. Sadly. So the bell rung at 11:30, but he wasn’t done. We had asked if he could assemble a part of our chairs. So he starts assembling them. After. Class.

We ended up staying 25 minutes late. Not five. Twenty-five.

I…I don’t think this is ok???

However, the four of us were timing it. We could not stop laughing, it became a game. Every minute that passed sent us into fits.

Sophia(fake name) decided to keep track. We now have a sheet of exactly how much time we have gone over. So far it is at 45 minutes.

A whole damned class.

The rest of the morning/afternoon was uneventful. Drama was a work period and I basically just went on my phone after that, although I did post on the bullying account and ddw. And was on my computer playing…Minecraft. Yep, I am still playing it. More for the nostalgia though, I am trying to beat the game. It is a lot harder than I remember I must say.

Then for some reason I felt like making pasta. So I did! Holy shit though, there are so many recipes. I was feeling like a cheesy pasta, so I made, basically a carbonara sauce without the wine. It was goood. It had cream, garlic, parmesan, onion powder, mushrooms, and bacon. It was heavenly.

After dinner I felt an urge to be close to dad. I had been secluding myself for the whole week. I missed him. I went down stairs and cuddled close.

I was getting ready for bed when my phone buzzed. It was Sophia, she was complaining about charlotte. “She always cheaps out on us, then expects us to spend a lot for her.”

I inferred that there was a separate group chat talking about my birthday(which is coming soon I might add) I agreed with her, Charlotte always does that. There is more drama there, but I will go into that later.

I asked Sophia if the group chat was where she was talking with Charlotte, she said yes. I was really nervous because I wanted to send everyone a list of what I wanted for my birthday, otherwise you just get random stuff. But isn’t that rude? Or is it good, so then they know what to get you?

nervously, I typed in the question. Then threw my phone down and went to wash my face.

I read her text with a wave of relief, she wanted the list and told me to text it to the group chat!

I went to bed feeling happy.
