Day 13:

    It's the weekend, but you would honestly have no clue if you looked at us.  My routine is essentially the same, except I'm much less productive without a couple hours of schoolwork to stimulate me (hence why there was no journal yesterday.)  It's weird, because weekends used to be looked forward to all week, and stuffed full of water polo tournaments, swim meets, church, volunteering, sport-watching (by my family, not me), and homework, plus trying to fit in time with my friends.  Now there's nothing, just more wasted time

    It'ś funny, because on the first day of quarantine, I made a whole long list of things I wanted to accomplish and learn.  Now I've accomplished exactly one of those things, even though I desperately wanted to be productive at the start of the shelter-in-place order.

    My friends and I had a 'game night' last night, where we played jackbox games over zoom together.  Occasionally, my internet would cut out and I wouldn't be able to hear anyone for a minute or two.  After our free meeting expired, we would have to start a new one every 40 minutes.  My lighting was so bad it looked like there was a miniature sun in the corner of my screen and my face looked like a rotten tomato.  Despite all of this, it was one of the happiest experiences I've had in a while.  It was genuine, hilarious, and pure.  I felt like I laughed honestly and deeply for the first time since this started.

    I'm going to make a point to contact my friends, because maybe we can keep each other sane.  Or we can all go insane together.  Honestly, the latter is probably more likely.
