AN's Two Week Quarantine Challenge!
• Times are strange at the moment, I don't know about you guys, but with news and social media always in our faces, it makes me pretty feel shit, and with all the uncertainty, it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
• Staying at home, and with many events and gatherings cancelled, the coming weeks can feel a bit daunting, but I've got the solution - the Two Week Quarantine Challenge (TWQC)! Together, let's use the next two weeks for all the good stuff - work on the things we love but rarely have time for, learn some new things, create stuff, exercise, and just enjoy ourselves and the people around us as much as possible!
So get involved! All you need to do is:
1. Start your own thread in this forum (or participate in this thread) and write down the things you're going to challenge yourself to
do in the next two weeks
2. Check-in with each other regularly! (You may choose to do this with a partner and keep each other accountable)
3. Update us with how you're going!
For clarity quarantine is the term used if you are NOT sick ((but at risk)self-quarantine is when you choose to quarantine yourself despite being well), isolation is if you are sick.
Two weeks for this challenge have been chosen as that is the length of the school holidays however if you wish to participate in this challenge for longer you could form some great habits!!
I'll go first!
• Challenge 1 •
Tick 3 things off my to do list
I have a nice, beefy list of things to tick off my to do list this holidays which I don't wanna leave till the last minute
• Challenge 2 •
Do something creative/fun every day
Over the last two years I've stopped reading (not inherently creative), drawing, painting, and making music and I should really get back into it! Now's a perfect time! I'm also going to put watching movies/Netflix on that list too - I would love to rewatch Labyrinth, Corpse Bride and Coraline and finish 'You' and catch up with 'Riverdale' and I want to finish the game 'The Last of Us'
What are you going to challenge yourself to?
(Edit: Had to update my first challenge as my parents said I'm not allowed to go outside :'( )

Hello again! Just an update as of 1/04/2020 at 8:00pm...
I woke up at 9:30 am and started studying for psychology and tuned into the ATARnotes live lecture for psych. I spent the entire day studying psychology and reading the textbook since I became so engrossed in the subject I completely forgot about my methods study and further maths. Ooopsies. I'm writing the rest of my cue cards and freshening up on revision about cortisol and GAS before I move on to study maths methods before my math skills jump out of my brain. After I finish psychology, methods, further maths and my English monologue I'm going to watch Netflix. I really wish that I had appreciated more of my free time back during my junior years. I could've accomplished so many things. :'(
Hey Marylen! I completely relate, like if i knew what I know now in Year 7 I would be so smart the world wouldn't know what to do with me 🤣🤣
How much homework have you got to go?
