Being Sick

brownbeansLeave a comment

I was sick for a while. Last Friday, I started to get a bit of a cough and a headache, but I didn’t have a fever yet, so I went about life as usual. It wasn’t until Monday, my senior night, that I entered fever temperatures and was forced into isolation.

The isolation room is like being in exile. You can’t talk to people in person, and the teachers give you food with masks and the utmost protection. I was too busy burning up to notice the day passing by. When I thought my temperature was decreasing, it would spike up, and I’d lie waiting for the sweet relief of the cold AC. On Tuesday, my temperature was normal during the day, but when it was checked at night, it spiked again, and I had to spend another day in isolation.

My friends came to visit, and they brought life into the dull room. The room itself is pretty cute. I’m glad student leaders were able to work with the nurse to put up decorations.

My mom visited me when she picked up my sister for her dentist appointment. I think her visiting me boosted my spirits enough to finally stop feeling feverish. Her angelic presence blessed me with Gatorade and chicken soup.

I hope I never get sick again.

Waterproof Mascara

I think that waterproof mascara has completely ruined my lashes. I’ve been mourning my lashes before I started using waterproof and they were just to their fullest. They were full, long, and double lined. Now their thin and t looks like I’m balding on my lash line.

Well maybe not quite, but it’s definitely not what i am used to. Although I do really love waterproof since it was one of the only mascaras that helped my lashes stay up. I need a very long break from it.

Also taking off waterproof mascara after a long night or day, even if you have makeup remover, it takes forever. It feels like I’m scrubbing my eyes for a solid 20 minutes before its even remotely off. I feel like waterproof mascara is liked by many people but no one talks about how it has bad effects. I honestly think it just thins out your lashes to a point where they break.

So if you’re reading this and your thinking about using waterproof mascara please put your lashes first. You do not wanna deal with your natural lashes looking awful even after a regular curl.

Yes it has a positive side but the negative effects of it completely take over. Yeah they stay up but is it worth the breakage? Its really not and I would throw away every waterproof mascara if I could to get my old lashes back.

I’m the type of person that always has to take their makeup off. It doesn’t matter the occasion or where we are. Before I go to bed I must take off my makeup, so if you are that person. Do not get waterproof mascara.

Baseball

I went to baseball practice for the first time this year. It was so much fun. The team is much different from it was last year, but I hope we can still play well and have a good time. Mr. P was so nice and friendly until he made the entire team run in the rain. Mr. C was so mean to me when he threw me fly balls way over my head and told me things that cannot be repeated.

My friends Archer and Renji are not as skilled as me and struggled to keep up with Jacob and me. Jacob has shown immense promise as the leadoff hitter and starting pitcher with his mound presence piercing the egos of the enemies. Archer can work on a few things, like how to hit someone in the chest and how to catch a routine fly ball. Renji needs help with english but his baseball is impeccable. Renji tends to shout Japanese terms when a ball flies in his direction.

I am so excited for the season with my buddies and can’t wait to play all the country music while playing catch. Archers body is a temple, and he is meditating 🧘‍♂️ awaiting his first game.
