Dear Diary, Today is my first day heading to Spanish school! Everything is ready, and I can not wait for my new adventure! The gate was right in front of me, Petrified I was, I entered the building. We headed to the headmaster's office we met a young woman, she was friendly to me and requested that my teacher came to take me to class, I hugged my mom she kissed me goodbye, my professor led me to the classroom she spoke a bit of English and was very kind we had arrived. I had a good look at my classmates I could tell who was mischievous and who was a model student, the students were very friendly to me they all wanted me to accompany them. The School was a lot smaller than ISB, and the classrooms were less futuristic than my regular classrooms, we had a chalkboard where the teacher wrote most of the time and a projector but we barely used it, we were also writing on paper and reading textbooks (No computers) this was odd for me. Our first-class was science we were studying chemical reactions, then we had the police come to teach us about how social media is dangerous. The rest of the day continued fine with the classes I understood quite a lot of the subjects even though Spanish is not my first language.

5 . Traveling to Sapin 24 Januraray
 
 We were preparing the home by cleaning the floors from top to bottom and making sure everything was ok, I don't usually like long flights you feel like there is not enough space to sleep and I get a bit bored waiting in lines for the check-inn.

Dear Diary, Recently my grandparents from my mom's side had come to visit us. And today we were going to a city called Cartagena we were going to the best-known fish restaurant though when we arrived the restaurant was full of people and we had to wait for an hour but when we sat down and started to have food it was worth it, the food was the best fish I had tasted then we started walking around the center and they had very nice buildings it made me think of french architecture then we had gone into a second-hand store and I love going there because I can buy videogames for my PS3, After we had some warm drinks (the temperature was very cold) and drove home.

&nbsp;As Times Passes In The Pandemic &nbsp;By Medhi Vallet As we all lay at home watching empty streets through our protective windows, we see the emptiness We had exercised, read more books and spent more time with our most loved ones&nbsp;learning how to adapt in this adventure of craziness Listing to the streets for any sign of noise but we could only hear the birds singing some have found different sides of themselves become more mindful and think differently As time passed waiting for the Earth the heal and hoping we could fight for this and protect ourselves we waited... When Danger eased people, our friends, and everyone was together cars started making noise streets came with giggles and together we were making new choices and knowing how important our plant is&nbsp;&nbsp;

Not only this laughs about the deadly coronavirus, but this is also a racist picture using stereotypes&nbsp;

While People Are dying from the virus You Are Posting Jokes!!

We buy so many unnecessary things and we don't think about how it will impact others

Dear Diary, It has been a while in confinement and I am doing many things to keep busy and not be bored I am working on a Picasso inspired art painting and I have many books that I have been reading. My mom made a delicious tagine a famous Morrocan specialty, the workload has not been too bad though I am getting a bit bored of staying inside and not being at school. I wonder how different it will be when we get back to Beijing, it feels so weird that we have several so-called "homes"
