Day 3: Free Choice

Besides classes and doing homework, there isn’t much to do with my free time at home. Most of the time, I stay in my bed and watch Netflix. I just finished a series called The Greenhouse Academy which is about this cool private school that is like no other realistic school that exists. In the show, there are two houses of the school: the Ravens, and the Eagles. The Ravens are known to be more focused on academics and basically come off as “nerds”, while the Eagles are more focused on athletics and their social lives. In the Greenhouse, there is drama between the two houses as well as criminal activity that is organized by family members and close friends of students at the Greenhouse. At first, the students that are related the criminals (they purposely create earthquakes to kill people) have no idea about what they are planning. Towards the middle of the series, the students start to get involved with the mysterious plan that multiple people are working on and attempt to save the lives of innocent people. I would definitely recommend watching it although I kind of spoiled some of it… Moving on, I just started Gossip Girl, which I don’t think was a very smart idea because now that classes have started again I have things to do, but it’s really interesting so far; I didn’t think that a series could be interesting as soon as it started. It’s basically all about drama between high schoolers that are super rich and stuck-up and only care about themselves. While I’m not watching Netflix, I might either go on a run in my neighborhood or paint. I found this app that tracks how far you’ve ran, times you, and tells you your average pace for your run which makes it a lot easier, too. Sometimes, I have to feel pretty motivated to run because it’s definitely a good work out and after I finish, I’ll want to do other workouts in my backyard. My backyard is one of my favorite places to go whenever I’m bored or want to look outside (I live next to Kaneohe Bay) so working out there is actually pretty fun. I have found that whenever I go for a run or do workouts in my backyard, I feel much more relaxed and happy than I usually do. I’m pretty glad that I naturally have this attitude about working out because otherwise, I would probably not try to do it everyday and most likely become out of shape, which I definitely do not want.
