Entry 1: September 16th, 2020
Today was my sister’s birthday. Her 29th birthday. I realized today that she’s close to 30 and
myself 20, which is bizarre. I can’t comprehend the fact that I’m closer to 19 than I am 18, but
seeing as how most of this year is a blur due to the lovely pandemic we’re having it’s natural to
feel like this. I had bought her a The Comfy blanket sweatshirt to aid her during the cold New
York winter months and boy did she love it. We picked up her best friend of 16 years and we
were off. We had to go to Manhattan to pick up flowers that her ex-coworker gives her every
year. It was very sweet to see seeing as she works elsewhere now. Then we sped off to
Downtown Brooklyn where we had brunch at our favorite restaurant, Bijan’s. I also ended up
getting lost in a supermarket after trying to find a deli to retrieve some Zyrtec for my sister and
some Aleve for her friend’s headache. I would say I’m upset at myself for getting lost in a
supermarket but alas I am because that is just in my character to do so. Some of us have to be
awkward and confused all the time but that’s okay. Overall, it was a nice time and I believe
we’re going back in two weeks. I also got to retake my statistics quiz that I didn’t do so hot
yesterday. I didn’t do so hot on it again but at least I passed this time. What a joy it would be to
understand Statistics but hey we can’t have everything.

Today wasn’t exciting but it was nice. My family brought me home loads of pastries
because I had to stay home for class. We went out after and my sister and I just had a nice little
drive before picking up my mom. We came home and I proceeded to stress over my lack of
understanding of my chemistry homework. I’m not a math person. My sister however felt my
pain very deeply and was there to console me. I ended the night off talking to my roommate (or
rather should have been roommate but corona happened) and my close friend of 15 years. All in
all a pretty relaxing day. Not all days are exciting but it’s the little things about them that make
them the most special.
Entry 3: September 26th, 2020
Worlds collided today; my sister’s best friend met mine! They hit it off from the start. We
began the day by picking them up and went to an animal shelter to retrieve a dog, any dog that
my sister so desperately needs. Alas, we found none but we did find a very messy and confusing
animal shelter truck thing. To make up for our loss, we went to another favorite cafe of ours,
Cafe Luluc. The food was wonderful and we left merrily. The car ride to drop my sister’s best
friend off was amusing full of old 90s throwbacks and laughs all around. The day did not end
there. My sister then drove my best friend and me to Sweetory in Jackson Heights where we got
authentic Asian desserts. My friend stayed over at my house until about 9 pm and it was nice
being around someone my age for once. I ended the night off by hurriedly finishing off my
chemistry lab before midnight. I can without a doubt say this was one of the best days during the
pandemic for me.
