Quaratine Blog 2

More updates on my sanity during these hard times:

07/05: I've been alright as of lately; I started writing a story for a school assignment and I read T.S. Elliot's "The Wasteland", which I really loved. My new kitten has been eating so much lately, I think he might get chubby lol. Anyway there isn't much going on this week.

11/05: I think I have writers block, can't bring myself to write my story, It's quite frustrating tbh. My kitten is indeed getting chubby, but he's also growing a lot, and my other cats are starting to get along with him. I read a Sci-Fi story called "I Have No Mouth And I Must" scream, and oh dear it's disturbing af. But it's still a great read.

29/05: Ok it's been a while since I updated this blog (I gues I'll be posting a bit less regularly now. My kitten got a type of skin fungus, nothing serious, we already gave him medication and it's starting to heal. I'm not feeling well lately, I think I might be getting anxious or depressed again; my writers block continues, even though I did make some progress, I don't feel like reading anymore... Maybe its the end of the semester that's stressing me out.

04/06: Finally the online classes are over! I feel so much better because of it, and because my grades were ok. My kitten is much better and his fur is already growing back over the infected area; same with my other cat that also got the fungus. I went back to reading Emile Zola's Thérèse Raquin (I had to stop because of required reading), even though Realism is not usually my thing, but I like to read something different from time to time. It's getting much more interesting now, because I'm getting past the excessive exposition of the few first chapters.

26/06: I've been alright as of late, but still a bit bored because of the lockdown and stuff. I abandoned Zola's novel, it's not that the book is bad, but I guess this style of down-to-earth Naturalism isn't really for me. I decided to read Kafka's The Metamorphosis yesterday, I'm already half way through (it's quite short tbh), that's more of the insane dreeamy stuff I tend to like. I also watched Dr. Strangelove this week, it was quite funny, even if a little difficult to follow, certainly loving the bomb after that lol.

27/06: So I was searching through some old files and I found this picture of a drawing I made about a year ago, so I thought it was fitting to post it here. I forgot the actual drawing at school and it's probably in a storage room somewhere. It was inspired by Brontë's Wuthering Heights. https://i.imgur.com/JtEcVZs.png

07/07: Here I go again writing this bloody blog, even though nobody reads... Anyway, I visited my with my dad grandparents a few days. I know it's silly but they really missed me, and a bit of kindness doesn't hurt. We playes Canasta and Dominoes, chatted a bit; I was glad to see they were ok. I started reading Brave New World last week (I had actually started it some ago but never got past the first chapter), I'm liking it despite a few disturbing moments. Despite all that I think I'm getting sad again. I've been thinkning about some lines from a poem I really like, "This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but with a wimper" it just reminds me so much of today's world.
