During this pandemic we had to document our days during this pandemic, so when this is all over we can go back and look at what we did during these hard times.
I honestly didn't do that much during this pandemic, so it was really hard for me some days to find something different and unique to take pictures of. The Images above were the three things I did everyday. I've probably been playing a combined 2 hours of soccer everyday just by myself.
My sleeping schedule at the start was awful I was playing video games all night and only get a couple of hours of sleep. Later on I realized I wouldn't be able to attend all of my Zoom classes, so I decided that I would wake up at 9 am everyday.
During this pandemic have ruined 3 balls and it has only been around 2 months.
I sit in my room for probably over half of the day, and my parents think that I am only playing video games, when almost 20% of the time I'm doing schoolwork or in another long Spanish Zoom call.
My parents have been making me do a bunch of chores like working in the garden, and they even made me clean up all of the wires underneath my desk. Around 2 days after I cleaned up the wires underneath my desk, my mom decided that I had to switch rooms with my sister, so I had to do it all over again.
I've been sitting and doing nothing quite a lot, and you can see that by all of the pictures I took of myself doing nothing.
In the last week I didn't really have any idea of what I wanted to do, so I decided to take the same picture of myself throughout the week. I also decided not to edit any of these because I wanted to show how I looked everyday.
