Daily Journal #2

We’re back. 

Today’s Monday, the first Monday of online school. Things are going pretty well. I woke up and 8:30 today, took a shower and went to the online advisory. 

I like advisory. I appreciate it much more now that it’s online. I like starting my day with nothing critical to do. It’s just a way I can unwind and talk about how things are going. Today we played skribl, an online game. It’s basically Pictionary for your computer/iPad. It didn’t go too well, but it was still a lot of fun. We’re planning on doing more stuff like that in the mornings, and I’m excited for it. Sometimes you need a refresher before you can jump into things fully, and I’m starting to appreciate advisor as a way to do that. 

As for classes today, they were less tiring then they had been the last few days. I guess it’s less zoom meetings that I have to worry about. I like zoom, but it’s exhausting just sitting around. The scenery starts to become boring. It’s still always nice to wake up late though. 

My day seems to be becoming very full. I have school from 9-1 and then I have to run. It’s a lot different from my other schedule that I had during break. I still have time to do my own thing, but it’s starting to feel more and more like a normal Fenn day. I guess that’s good. My dad says I need to stay in a routine, although that’s difficult. School helps. It’s hard for me to be completely productive. I feel like I’m only taking short breaks in between work and suddenly it’s 6 o’clock. 

I spend a lot of time on homework, even though I probably don’t need to. It’s English that’s taking the most time to be honest. And it’s probably English that is the most different. In our other classes the actual class time was worksheets and discussions. While we did some of those in English, it felt more interactive. It’s strange not being distracted by people talking while I’m trying to get stuff done. I can’t walk out of the room I’m working in to ask Fitz a question as freely as I could. It doesn’t make the seamless jump to online as the others do. It’s not a fault of a person, just the nature of the class. I think I’ll get more used to it as time goes on. 

In other news, I still don’t know what school I’m going to. I wrote a journal entry on that topic specifically, but I’m not sure if all make it one of my main entries. I did share it with my parents, which is something that I rarely do. They’re still jokingly asking me about the story I wrote, which I don’t know what I’m going to do with. It made my view on schools a lot clearer. They said I’m making it out a bigger deal than it is. I don’t know. I’ll be spending four years there. I have to make a choice by Friday. It’ll never be obvious to me, it’s hard to say no to any school. I have a virtual revisit day tonight, hopefully it’ll shine some light on which school I want to go to.

Other then that, things are good.
