Corona Curiosity with Ashleigh

In this blog, I am going to be talking about the actions that humans have taken towards each other.  For the most part I feel that people have been fairly kind to each other, if not more so than usual, because they're just happy to be in contact with anybody at all after being stuck in their houses with only their families. But, there have been some incidences that have made me feel ashamed, and I have nothing to do with them except that I'm white and I'm human. The police brutality in North America is terrible. One of the more known cases is George Floyd. George Floyd was choked to death by a police officer who refused to release pressure on his neck when he complained about not being able to breathe. Lots of people are posting things about how people can help raise awareness, and there is a number that you can text to help make a difference. There was also a black woman pushed off of her balcony by a police officer and they claimed it was suicide. That happened in Tor

I think the title is pretty self-explanatory this week: I am going to be talking about eating lots and being lazy or working out and getting fit. At the beginning of this quarantine, I thought, "Hey, now's a really good time to work out, be active, and get fit!" I saved a bunch of workout videos and routines, and I almost did workout one time. But that's it. Just the one time. I haven't been working out like I was planning to, instead I've been eating junk and sitting around all day. Now, I do go on walks with my mom and my dog every couple days, but that's about it. I've eaten some fruits and vegetables as snacks, but most of the time I have chips or candy instead. I think they should make fruit less expensive, because then I would probably have more. I've talked to a couple of people and they said they saved workout videos and routines too, but still haven't done them. I feel like it's either you work out everyday or every other d

     Hey everyone! This journal is going to be about my first reactions of Covid-19 and when I learned that we were getting time off of school, and then when we learned that we weren't going back to school until further notice so it was going to be online. When I first heard of the corona virus, I didn't think much of it. I just figured it was some sort of flu in China and it wasn't a big deal. It started getting a little more serious, but I was still skeptical and not really believing that it was that big a deal. Then it started spreading around the world, but it was still overseas. By then I figured it was probably fairly serious, especially when I heard that Italy had closed its borders so that nobody could carry the virus in or out so that they could take care of it. It started getting closer and closer to us, until it was finally in the United States and Canada, and I was getting a little nervous about it. Everybody started buying all of the toilet paper and freaki

     Hey everyone! I'm going to be starting a journal about the corona virus and my thoughts and feelings about it and what I've been doing.  For this journal entry, I'm going to be talking about people celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations during quarantine. My cousin's 17th birthday was yesterday and we had a parade for him. Some of my family, a couple of his friends, and his girlfriend all drove by his house and honked their horns. My grandma made signs that a few of us held out of our windows that said "Happy Birthday!" and we yelled out of our windows at him to say happy birthday since we couldn't say it up close because of the "6 feet apart" rule. Here's a video of the parade: https://www.facebook.com/ian.cooper.3158/videos/10163508144120080/ My aunt and uncle are going to have their 30th wedding anniversary soon and were going to go on a trip to Mexico, but they had to cancel it because you're not
