A letter from April 14th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, I am doing great, and so is everyone else in my family. It feels weird that my parents are always home and I don’t see my friends that often anymore. I couldn’t do a lot of things that me and my parents had planned to do over track out. We were going to go on a road trip, and we were also going camping, but they had to get canceled. I think I have been directly impacted by having to adapt to a different lifestyle. I have much more free time to do anything and now that we have online school I can wake up at 8 a.m. instead of 6 a.m. I am spending my time learning how to write, read and speak Japanese and continuing my other hobbies indoors or in my backyard. I have been utilizing this time by practicing my piano and ukulele more often, so I can get better. I am also rereading my favorite books like the Hunger games series. I mostly feel curious and worried about what 8th grade will look like and will this virus make any permanent changes to the way we have been going to school our whole lives. I like the way online school works for us. It's just like school except we don’t get to collaborate with our classmates like we would get in school. What I think I will remember most is the boredom and how things used to be during the virus. How we stayed indoors for so long and had school on computers. How expensive Hand sanitizer was. With regards, Sam from 2020 P.S. Today is Mom and Dad's anniversary get them a good gift. And do you still talk to Haley, and you better be friends with Ray go say hi to her and your band should still be together. You should know how to play bass by now and you should still have have your first guitar, keyboard and ukulele. Don't disappoint me your younger self also sorry for making this soooo long but write future future me another letter please.
