A little school and a little restaurant distancing

-
So as many of you already know, soon after spring break began we were told that our spring break would be extended to match with Purdue University’s spring break. That was all fine and dandy and we expected that we would return to campus after the two weeks were up and we would finish out the spring semester in person. 
That’s not at all what happened. Soon after we were told that spring break had been extended we were told that we would not be returning to campus to finish out the semester but instead we would move to online classes. Now I don't know about any of you. There is a reason I don't take online classes and that’s because I’m afraid that I wont do the work or I’ll forget about the work or the biggest thing is I learn better face to face and hands on. Be that as it may the University is doing it to protect us the students and i respect that. Soon after the colleges made the call to shut down for the remainder of the semester the grade schools began to do it as well except they are planning to go back at the beginning of May. We are all being told to practice Social Distancing, doing classes online, hanging and talking to friends online and minimizing our time out of our houses. 
Restaurants and businesses that we deemed as these 3rd places or hangouts are suffering because they have been shut down and told to only do Carryout or delivery, or drive Thur if they got one of those. 
Now i work at a restaurant, buffet actually that also already offers delivery and Carryout. With the restaurants shutting down our dining room that got filled multiple times a week with families to eat dinner or friends and coworkers for lunch is empty. We aren’t the only ones suffering because around the United States restaurants are running into the same issues and most have been forced to adapt and adopt Carryout and delivery just to stay afloat economically. Small business in small towns it’s harder to stay afloat but Churubusco is fighting hard to help out the small businesses.

POTS

Hey all welcome back for week 3! This week I’m going to tell you about POTS something that my younger sister and I both deal with.  “POTS or Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, is a condition that affects circulation (blood flow). POTS is a form of orthostatic intolerance, the development of symptoms that come on when standing up from a reclining position, and that may be relieved by sitting or lying back down. The primary symptom of an orthostatic intolerance is lightheadedness, fainting, and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat.” “Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that affects circulation (blood flow). It involves the autonomic nervous system (which automatically controls and regulates vital bodily functions) and sympathetic nervous system (which activates the fight or flight response).” “People with POTS cannot coordinate the balancing act of blood vessel squeeze and heart rate response. This means the blood pressure cannot be kep...

The Sister I Wished for

Hey guys, welcome back for week 5. This week I’m going to take a dip into my siblings I know I’ve talked about them in previous blogs so here’s a little background info about them.  Be careful what you wish for because sometimes things come true but they aren’t always entirely bad the outcome i mean.  I have three sister one older, two younger but from the age of 3 til 9 i was the oldest child. I always wanted an older sister or brother but you don’t always get what you wished for. Unless your father had a unknown child when he got with your mother. For real that’s how it went. My older Sister was born in January of 1994 and my parents met and started dating in March of 1994 but my father had no clue that his ex was pregnant when they split up month before so he definitely had no clue that he had a daughter. In 2009 my older sister found my dad on MySpace ( i know it’s like a dinosaur version of Facebook) anyways my dad had mixed emotions so my mom made away for my ...

Harry Potter

Hey all welcome to week 4. I changed the font and style because... actually I’m not entirely sure why just got board. So anyways this week I’m going to basically talk about my love for Harry Potter.   Harry Potter. So as I said in my first blog I am a Slytherin a proud one for that matter. I took the official Harry Potter Sorting Hat quiz on Pottermore.com  . A lot of people don’t want to be in that house because it’s the house of the evil or whatever people say but it’s not entirely true. Slytherin’s are actually resourceful, cunning, ambitious, driven, focused on goals, determined, prepared, realistic, self-reliant, and so much more. Slytherin’s, however, are not disloyal or evil. My personal main reason i wanted to be a Slytherin is because of Draco Malfoy and Severus Snap they are my all time favorite characters throughout the entire series. I do have to admit something though. I’m only on book three. I’ve seen the movies a million times and i rewatch them all the ti...
