First off, happy father's day! I know it's late and I haven't blogged in awhile, very sorry, but, I'm back home! The past couple of days have been kind of hectic. I traveled home yesterday and after settling and having one of my favorite family staple meals, turkey burgers, I went right to work organizing my room.


You know what, this deserves it's own paragraph. We moved in to this house in January (I think) of my freshman year of high school. I have boxes in my room that still haven't been unpacked. It clearly wasn't anything important but I feel really bad throwing things away. I also just really needed to donate some clothes. A lot of my clothes have been well loved. I've had some of them since before high school and they just need to go to a better home. So far I've gone through one of my closets and three of my drawers. I still need to go through bathing suits, dresses and shoes. That's just the clothing items. I guess I need to unpack those boxes and see if any of it is mildly important. I feel like giving away this stuff would be easier if we weren't in the middle of a pandemic... For example, I have a ton of markers and odd art supplies that I'd love to donate to a daycare or something but they probably don't want my old markers right now. They probably aren't even open... I don't know I guess 10 year old markers can be thrown away. Is this just a me problem?


I guess room organization is the big thing I've had on my mind because I have a hard time starting and stopping. The only reason I stopped last night was because I was so tired. I didn't really do anything today because it was father's day and I have until August to de-clutter my room.


Today I had coffee with my parents and then I went on a walk with my mom. I guess I assumed it'd be a leisurely walk but she's speedy. We walked her usual two mile route. After that I made myself an acai bowl for breakfast. It was good! I added some frozen berries and banana to the packet and it was yummy. I'll definitely make another one soon. Then I attempted to lay out but I only made it a half an hour, it was really hot. I was on the deck and I could've moved to the pier but I gave up. I did some homework and then my dad and I went on a run. One of his father's day presents was a Garmin running watch from me and my sister. He was excited to try it out and I wanted to run with him. We ran a little over 3.5. It was really warm today. Once we finished our run we made a nice father's day dinner and then we hung out! I helped make chocolate lava cakes, they're my dad's favorite.


It's nice to be back in my own bedroom with my familiar bed and my bathroom. Even though I've pretty much had my own room and bathroom in Maine there's something nice about being in your own. I'm sure I'm over explaining and everyone knows what I mean.


I have my first day of FF202 tomorrow. It's just the next level of French. This time it's an afternoon class so it's scheduled to go from 12:30 PM to 4:20 PM but I don't know if it'll actually take all four hours. I'm really hoping my professor will let us go early. I guess I'll find out. I don't know if I can sit for four hours... I am planning on getting ahead on the homework just so once my class is done I'll have what little is left of my afternoon to myself. Also now I can workout in the mornings so it'll be cooler hopefully... It's okay, I'm just speculating.


I am planning on getting up and going on a run, I really like to run first thing in the morning. I think it starts your day on the right track. We also have some dumbbells so I might do some exercises with that afterwards. Then I'll eat breakfast and get ready for class!


I do miss Soren, it's weird to go from spending every day together to now having a lot of time to do things by myself. I don't know if it'd be as weird if I was able to hangout with my friends and have ways to entertain myself but I don't. So it's kind of just me. Like I have my parents and books and things to do but they're mostly things to do alone. I'm not complaining, I don't mind being alone for a little. I think it's kind of relaxing. I spent a lot of time in my room just reading or watching TV in high school and I was okay with it. I like a healthy mix of both, sometimes I want to be with tons of people and other times I want to be alone. I do miss my friends. I can't wait to be able to see them and not have to worry about COVID.


Alright, I'm sure I could sit here and think of lots more to say but I'll wait until tomorrow or another day because I'm tired. I hope everyone is still healthy and safe and doing well!
