I’m Casey and I have the coronavirus(COVID-19). I am in campus-isolation and would likely lose my mind if I did not have anything to do. On the bright side, I do get to experience that isolation for you so that you can be up to date on protocol, without having to get the virus yourself.
I am still symptom-free today. I am hoping that this keeps up so that I can leave isolation tomorrow and get back outside. I do not think I will be back in my own dorm until after winter break, but it will be better being here alone if I can go outside.
I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow; hopefully I can get tested there as well, so I can know if I am officially COVID-19 free. I am heading home for the holidays after Thanksgiving, so I do not want to infect my family.
I read for my German paper today. It was a lot less reading than yesterday, but as I have previously mentioned, I have a procrastination problem. I finished reading all of my sources though. Hooray!
I talked to my friends Emma and Sam today over Discord. My roommates had some “Among Us” games over the weekend, but due to my laptop situation, I was unable to attend. Regardless, it was nice to have a conversation with someone and to see their faces.
I do have some good news to share with you guys: Cristal Santos, from Montclair State University’s News Lab, reached out to me for an interview. Wicket and I will be meeting with her tomorrow before my classes, over Zoom of course. I will be sure to fill you in on how that goes
Wicket snuggles me as he has his lap time.

Now, you guys are going to make fun of me, because I know I would make fun of me; today, I started listening to Christmas music. I even watched Jim Carrey’s “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” I am normally a fierce advocate for celebrating Christmas after Thanksgiving, but I have been feeling lonely and this holiday is all about togetherness.
Cut me some slack.
Here is your daily Wicket update: He is happy and he gave me lots of kisses today.
I do not have much news for you today, but I did not want to neglect this blog, especially on the one-week anniversary of its conception.
That is all for today, folks. Stay cool.
