College Board AP Exams
In time of the coronavirus, the College Board shifted their AP exams to be taken online this year. My first AP exam, which was Calculus AB, had me a bit nervous, but it really spiked the day before my exam. I found out that people who already took their AP exams couldn’t submit their forms due to a glitch on the website. Luckily, I was able to finish and turn in all of my exams with success, and even if I don’t pass these exams, I can say that I proudly tried my best and gave it my all during this time of social distancing. -

The Grind
I spent a lot of time in that place, you could say it kind of became a reality. Basically being stuck at home and working laboriously on schoolwork and studying for online exams such as the AP tests. The work only stops on the weekend where I can finally relax and do whatever I want. Once the weekend ends it's back to the endless labor and tiresome assignments that keep being piled on top of each other. -

Lack of taste
This meme resembles how COVID-19 can really be a very communicable disease. The fact that even being near someone who we love dearly can cause spread is already scary, and that we must try as much as possible to minimize the cause. To me, I want to stay home as much as possible to lower the spread of the virus, but at the same time I miss my loved ones and my friends. This meme may not seem important, but in reality it does show the tensions in society about how COVID-19 is affecting all of our lives. -

Music: A Light During the Pandemic
This entry focuses on the transition to online learning in order to practice social distancing. Prior to the pandemic, I would have to wake up early to go to school. Then, I'd quickly run home after school, so that I would be punctual to my guitar lesson. As the tide has turned, this is no longer my reality. Now, I do online schooling and guitar lessons within the comfort of my own room, at any hour of the day. An hour of light-hearted life chats, bluesy riffs, and all sorts of musical banter relieves my good friend, guitar teacher, and myself of our quarantine blues. This is us, this is our quarantine lyfe. -
