I'm on strike. Our whole class held a union meeting and decided not to do online lessons. I decided to strike too. And I even clapped my hands. My class has two student representatives who went to the meeting with the teachers. They made this decision to strike. They're right. I don't want to go to school at 10 and leave at 4, because then I can't do anything afterward. I can't even do the few things I'm able to do because everything else is closed. All my classmates think the same way. I didn't know some of them even work in the afternoon. I keep going to school just every now and then to do the workshop, which lasts an hour or two. At least my house is close and I get there fast. But I can't always grab breakfast at the bar in Piazza San Cosimato because the bar is closed too. It's not fun like this. I don't like it. I miss my classmates and my teachers so much. I miss going around the way I like. I can't do sports anymore or choir. Basically all I can do is go to Mass on Sunday—at least there people sing.
At home you get bored no matter what. I watch TV but I don't like it. I have the DVD of "L'allieva" and I know it by heart. All of it. I call everyone and send voice messages to everyone. On January 1st I turned 17, but I couldn't have all the parties I love and always throw. So many people called me, and I was so happy when they video-called because those are more fun. But I couldn't go out to dinner the way I like! But when the pizzerias reopen, I'm going every night. And lunch sometimes too.
Going out is amazing. I want to go around because you meet new people and laugh and talk. I've been saying this for a year. I want to go running in peace. I'm sick of cooking too. For Christmas and my birthday I made the best lasagna in the world. I learned how to do it right and I do it all by myself. No help. I close the kitchen door and I know how to do it. Then at the table I'm the one who decides the portions because I'm the one who cooked and set the table too. So we do things my way. And I don't want any arguments about it.
