So this is my last required blog or at least one of the last ones. Lately, it's set in that the seniors are leaving school. My brother is included in that, and it is very bittersweet. I am going to miss the few seniors I got to know and even seeing the ones that I didn't. It was pretty entertaining in Journalism, not going to lie. With the front table of seniors always talking about something random, yes I did hear that table's conversations. I'll miss chuckling at the little weird things they would say. I'll miss my track buddy, Cynthia, who was always there when I needed a partner or someone to laugh with. I'll miss seeing my brother completely ignore people or text me for a charger/ride. It was annoying at the time, but I now wish I would have enjoyed it more. I am very close with my brother, and so this will be hard not having him there. We are buying him donuts tomorrow morning, and celebrating on Tuesday when he walks. As well as when the live stream is on. I miss driving to school and parking in the back with my mini cooper because I was still learning the basics of manual. I miss having Wednesday mornings with friends, hopefully next year we will have those back. Even walking into Journalism exhausted and hearing, "Good afternoon." is something I'll miss. Journalism was amazing even when I'd goof off (sorry Mr. Tichy!) I even got the chance to meet Antonia, and talk with her a little bit. All of the memories are flooding in now about this past school year. I miss every aspect and I hope to be back in school next fall. Thank you, Mr. Tichy for always being there for all of us for ideas, random conversations and to just have the class where I felt like I could breathe and get my work done. Thank you for giving us that space to be with our friends and work on articles. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I think we got some good ones out there. Even if only a few people read it, it felt good to mark down certain events. This is the longest blog I've wrote. Whoops. Anyways, I am back home and I will miss this class and school in general. Goodbye, seniors. Good luck to you and wherever you may go. I know I never talked to you guys in the class really but you'll be remembered in this class. Thanks again, Mr. Tichy. I have no clue what is going on next week. If I don't blog again, just know you are such an awesome teacher and you made that class as amazing as it was. Sincerely, Stacia LaVallie.

What has been going on? Time has been going so fast this past week. I work, go to school and bike sometimes. Biking has been going so much better, since I am getting more in shape. In quarantine, there isn't much you can do out. There is takeout but that's about it. Biking with Abby is entertaining, as we also walk by the river. This is the most time I have spent outdoors really, as I am usually working and have nobody to do that with. Her birthday was just last week and I finally got her present in the mail. I got her this sweatshirt that says, "I am so freaking cold," which was cleared with her parents. She loved it, and I also made her frybread. I had to go to my house to get my car worked on by my dad. He had some wipers for my Mini Cooper. Yes, I am that green Mini Cooper driving around in case you were wondering. Okay, it's setting in lately that we are done in two weeks! Two weeks! I feel like we just started, and I just wrote a partner story with Antonia. I am so sad that I don't get to finish in school, because I am missing my friends. I miss everything about school really, except being able to sleep in is very nice. I am very happy that I sleep in, get more time to bike, less time working and just being able to breathe. Summer is approaching and I am thankful my grandparents own a resort by Duluth. That will definitely be so much fun.
So life this week has gone insanely fast. I have been working everyday (except Sundays!) I also have worked the past two Fridays at Hawthorn. My home base! My people! It has been so nice, it feels so familiar to me. I am hoping and praying I get to go back. Although my work here at Bison Plains Lodge has been really nice about giving me breaks when I am exhausted and not feeling so great. The work here is picking up as well, and that is so awesome to see. We have been working so hard on these rooms everyday. I go to school, then go work on rooms and some deep cleaning. We went to St. Cloud this past Thursday, and that gave me a break from the hotel and also from Moorhead. I know we should stay here but we got new furniture for the hotel. So now the hotel can look better, even with how low budget it is. We put our money into it, since it is a family owned business. So yeah, we loaded a UHaul up and came back to Moorhead, and even stopped for ice cream. I was so happy to not feel stuck in one place. This all is not gonna blow over anytime soon, so I feel like everybody is trying to just get things going. I am taking precautions with gloves and masks, so don't yell at me. Also, I have had so much time to get used to my car! I drive a manual transmission Mini Cooper, and I had to learn manual after automatic, it really sucked going from something so simple to manual. I have been driving that pretty regularly, and I have gotten much better. Before, I was so nervous and didn't like to drive it because I didn't know how. Now, with some experience, I feel so much more comfortable. A few slips here and there, but mostly I feel okay. Distance learning is going fine, I suck at remembering attendance but I am human. So, life is going okay right now. A little frustration, but I am doing fine.
