Wednesday (03/25) - had no english today (unlike usual) and my day was literally the same as tuesday

Thursday (03/26) - i had to wake up EARLY like 10AM because of english office hours for my fuckass essay >:( so that wasn’t fun... but my day was more productive as a result. Also, i finished BOTW at like 1AM and it made me cry it was so good

Friday (03/27) - dam looking back at it now my week was actually so dry LMAO. im happy that i get the chance to play video games again cuz i really didn’t have time during the school year :D

Week 2: Jess

I’m sooooooooo tired.

Thursday (3/19): Yeah honestly no clue... What happened Thursday? Forever a mystery

Friday (3/20): Did some work and then I ended up playing video games with my high school friends (Andrew and Paul) until way too late so whoops.

Saturday (3/21): Did some more work and then I ended up staying up way too late again playing video games with Andrew and then Walter and Cassie.

Sunday (3/22): Staying up way too late pt. 3 featuring Walter who tried convincing me to go to bed sooner but nope.

Monday (3/23): mmm I woke up and bumbled around until 1. Then I made a schedule for my week and worked for 8 hours (2 to 10) while in a call with Edison. Also stared at one question of 203 for like 3 hours so fml. (Also props to Edison for constantly dealing with my dumb butt).

Tuesday (3/24): Woke up at 9:30 despite the fact that I’m supposed to be working at 9:30 but it’s okay. I did work and studied from 10AM to 11:30PM. Went to office hours at some point for ENGR100. I guess the most interesting thing that happened was Yuri and I got stuck on something for 280 for over an hour and a half. According to Valgrind, we had a memory leak somewhere and we did everything we were supposed to... so whyyyyyy? Turns out nothing was wrong because Autograder was chill with it. Thanks a lot Valgrind >.>

Wednesday (3/25): I woke up late again (at 10 this time so worse) and immediately called my dad to wish him happy birthday (he’s already 60 jesus christ). I bumbled around again, half watching my ENGR100 lecture and then making/eating lunch. I then studied 203 from 12:30 to 4:45 while chatting with some people and now I’m about to go work on 280 project 4. After, around 8PM I’m gonna call up Yuri again and we’re gonna work on lab 8 for 280 whoopee. Yeah I know, my days are incredibly interesting.

The last three days are documented more clearly than the first half because of my schedule actually keeping track of everything I’m doing so yeah. 

Side note: NY gon’ be the apocalypse real soon (if it isn’t already)

Week 1- Maddie

Hey y’all! Life has been super boring and crazy at the same time, but this past week has given me lots of opportunities to reflect. Let’s dive right in.

Saturday- This was 3 days after the announcement went out that classes were cancelled. The night before, I stayed up until 5 am watching “Marriage Story” and talking with my friend, Grace, so I was v tired!! We went to Ding Tea for boba that morning (looking back, I don’t know why I was so lax about going out but oh well). My parents picked me up at 12 pm, and it was so emotional saying goodbye to my friends:(. I went home and napped for 3 hours, which is very abnormal for me- I’m not a huge napper, I usually just try to get enough sleep at night. 

Sunday- Since church was cancelled, my family watched the sermon online. I can’t exactly remember what I did, but needless to say I was exhausted and extremely unproductive. But I did watch the Democratic Debates with my friend, Serena, and we ended up goofing off so I don’t really remember what they said;)

Monday- I finally put Google Hangouts to use on different video calls for office hours and meeting with other students. I also went for a run outside because I was going stir-crazy (and it had been literally a full day in isolation LOL). It was really wet outside, don’t recommend normally but when you need to get out of the house, you take what you can get, am I right? Overall pretty productive today, but my mom had it out with me that night. *Sigh. It’s one of the joys of coming back home and following your parent’s rules again. AND ALL THE PEOPLE SAID AMEN. 

Tuesday- I really needed to buckle down and study for my exam on Thursday so I think I studied? Or probably just ended up texting people and scrolling through social media and watching Youtube/Netflix as has been the trend lately. Any show recc’s, anybody? I’ve been watching Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu, but I need to finish Crash Landing on You. Oh, and I had to cram to finish this big paper for my history class that I had been putting off, so I’m pretty sure I stayed up really late for that.

Wednesday- I just remember texting my friends from high school for a long time about how sad we were about this whole situation. Then, at night, I video called my friends from Cru and had our weekly Bible study. I was very freaked out about my exam the next day, so again, I stayed up late studying. I really need to learn how not to procrastinate, tbh. 

Thursday- I took my exam and was happy with my score. Then, I video called Grace and we literally spent 3 hours talking, OMG. It was really good though. I had been memorizing the dance to Twice’s “Dance the Night Away.” Kudos to you if you know it. But Grace just laughed when I did it, so I guess being a Kpop star is not in my future, such a shame. (Also, in case you didn’t know, I’ve turned into such a koreaboo this year, it’s really a problem.) We also painted our nails together, and she played her ukulele. I felt like we were 13 year olds at a sleepover, but that’s what quarantine does to the mind. 

Friday- I *finally* worked on my French essay due that night that I had been putting off because I’m a great student haha. That took up a good portion of the day, but then I baked brownies, so all is right with the world. After several days of being a hermit, I went on a walk around my neighborhood, which was really therapeutic for me. AND I SAW A WHOLE FAMILY OF DEER! So cute. At night, I video called with some people from Asian Intervarsity and we had to do a scavenger hunt that was quite hard, I must say. Here’s one for you that was easier: What food does the person from Hawkins like? Bonus points if you guess correctly. 

Saturday- My dad made pancakes for breakfast, so yay to that. I think this was around the time that everyone was posting a pic of themselves and tagging their friends on social media to promote women supporting women. I stan. Also, on a side note, I‘ve really enjoyed everyone drawing cute pics, like the orange, the avocado, the carrot. I mean, we are so bored, you guys, it’s so funny.

Sunday- Finally, I went back to South Quad to pick up everything else. There was definitely tension in the air, as if I were in a ghost town, and the only people roaming around were the dum-dums like me who didn’t pick up their stuff earlier. I went home and made a Tik Tok. I have no shame. That night, I had a professional development meeting for my pre-law frat, and they were going over recruiting techniques- specifically how to give an elevator pitch. We workshopped it, so we were put on the spot and timed. I was very scared; I feel like life after graduation is something I don’t want to think about. Right after that, I had a meeting with my Asian Intervarsity small group leaders because I’m apprenticing under them. We planned out the Bible study that we’re having tonight, but we were so sleep-deprived that we took so long to get our ideas out haha and mostly just goofed off. 

Well, Gov. Whitmer has officially announced in Michigan that for the next 14 days we can’t leave our homes except for things like errands, so that means my sanity is going to be all but lost pretty soon. Stay strong, you beautiful people. We will get through this. And I cannot WAIT until we can all hang out again. We need a Mulan, ramen, boba party. Put it in the Google calendar? Hey, positive thinking can go a long way. 

xoxo, Maddie

Week 1. Cassie

I haven’t even been home for a week but Michigan feels like a whole other era?! idk, so much has happened in the past week!

Friday (03/13/20) - o yes Friday the 13th to end a spectacular (not) week... I spent all of Friday mostly just finishing up packing. I had like two days to completely pack cuz I had to leave on Saturday... not fun. 

Saturday and Sunday (03/14-15/20) - I left on Saturday. I woke up at like 8am to wash my sheets and shit and mostly chilled with Jess and Michael. Jess was not chilling tho bc she was panicking about packing. I thought I was gonna leave around 1 or 2 but Kevin’s dad slept for too long so we ended up leaving at 6PM. Commence “road trip”... :p Saturday and Sunday kinda blurred together. The car ride was pretty comfy and I basically just played a lot of Zelda to pass the time. Kevin drove for like 8 hours straight which was p impressive though. So by the time I got home, it was like 5AM on Sunday and I slept until 4PM that day. I have no idea what I did but I think I started cleaning my room?

Monday (03/16/20) - Teachers really out here not giving me a break because I had to wake up at 11:27 for my 11:30 class. It was English and a disaster because it took 30 mins to even set it up, and it was so awkward that I just like sat there for the whole 90 mins lol. Anyway, I cleaned my room again (because that’s like one of the projects I had for myself) and video called with my old friends which was really nice.

Tuesday (03/17/20) - Didn’t have class today because psych and physics departments can’t make up their minds. But I still did some assignments and continued cleaning my room.

Wednesday (03/18/20) - English again (awkward again) and had my Chinese Placement Test, which was surprisingly reealllyy hard. If it were in person I definitely couldn’t have answered a lot of it iykwim. 

Thursday (03/19/20) - No class again today! I stayed up until 5 playing league though last night and woke up at 3PM today whoops. Also I redownloaded Maplestory and that’s a lot of fun so if anyone wants to join me on Elysium pls do :D 

Friday (TODAY!) - I had online physics lab and that shit was pretty intense lmao... didn’t realize how lost I was without groupmates. 

Overall I’m actually kinda happy nowadays... really haven’t gone outside since Sunday but I don’t even feel bad or anything. It’s a nice break from everything and I know that’s bad to say but that’s just my honest opinion. <3

Week 1

[friendsthereboot]

Week 1: Jess

Ah shrek I was supposed to write yesterday but I had a mess of a day... So a day late we are! Mmmm what do I even start with...

Well last Wednesday was the day the school told us to yeet or be yeeted and I had an exam with a lot of technical issues. Fun.

Thursday we went to One Bowl and Tea Ninja then watched Mulan. I literally just watched Mulan like a month and a half ago but it’s okayyyyy still fun to spend time with everyone. 

Friday morning sucked. Yep it sucked a lot :’). Decided I was going home on that day so after Walter left I spent the whole time searching for storage and packing. Oh and in the morning I went with Cindy to the bus stop.

Saturday I went to storage and had an anxiety attack over the money (just sooooo thrilling isn’t it) and messaged a friend last minute and they agreed to take all my stuff (thank you Luke <3). Said my goodbyes to Cassie Q.Q and then Michael Ho helped me launch all my garbage to Luke’s. That was definitely one of the most exhausting days of me life.

Sunday I tried unlofting my bed by myself... Let’s just say I had a bed on my back and I heard a weird crack sound and started freaking out because I didn’t know what do about the bed on my back LOLOLOL. Michael Ho, Charles, and Marisa eventually came to my rescue (thank god). I continued packing and then eventually went to Frita Batidos with Luke (guys that sh*t was so good we have to go together when we get back) and then got Luke his first cup of boba. We went back, grabbed my bedding and took it back to his place. I went back to my near empty dorm and just played a lot of Minecraft with my high school friend Andrew and Luke hehe. 

Monday... Mmmmmmm. I slept on a bed with no bedding and the room was 66 degrees. I think I slept like a single hour because I was uncomfortable and cold. I left the room and 5 AM to go check out and lugged like 100 lbs to the bus stop. I waited at the airport for over two hours and then. I lost one of my earphones on the plane and finally landed in Newark. I took an Uber to my sister’s place and that’s it. 

Tuesday I just chilled at my sister’s place. Much interesting. Ramble Ramble.

Dear god Wednesdays just seem to hate me this past week... Why did I choose to write on Wednesday? I was just chilling and doing my homework when my mom calls me at noon telling me to go into Manhattan ASAP and to taking public transportation. Like woman you literally wouldn’t let me go home because it’s unsafe and you just told me to what?!? Lowkey started crying lol and by lowkey I mean highkey. So dealt with that and bought groceries. I got back to my sister’s apartment and was mega productive. Spent the night playing a lot of Minecraft with Andrew.

So yea... A full week is honestly a lot to update on. We’ll see how this goes *shrugs*. 

Also irrelevant but Trump gonna kill us all QwQ
