I'm back!

Hello!
Right now the world is about 1 month into the Coronavirus Pandemic, and we are all sitting at home avoiding other people. Since it is now illegal to get into a group with more than 10 people, I am probably not going back to school anytime soon. We have been doing online school for the past 3 weeks, but that has not given me enough to do. My mom suggested that I write a blog post, so I am! Since the last time I posted a blog post was about five years ago, I think I should also provide an update of where I am, so internet archivists can more easily track me in the future.


What's happened?
5 years ago, I had only lived in Redondo Beach, California. Four months after my last blog post, my family and I moved to Toulouse, France. During my time in France, I went to a British International school (I won't tell you which. Can't make the internet archivist's jobs too easy) and met a lot of people from many places.
Some people I met in France (and my brother)



During my time there I also traveled to 17 other countries in Europe, a big leap from the only two.

Some places I went


Two and a half years later we moved back to the US to a city called Falls Church in the state of Virginia, which is where I am currently. We are much closer to a lot of my family here than we were in California, so we are visiting them more frequently (though not right now). In Falls Church I am going to a really big school that has the most people of any school I've been to, about 600 students, so I have met a lot more people recently. 
Some Familly
Some red-shirted people

Anyways, that's where I am now, so what am I doing?

What have I been doing?
Right now the 'severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2' is going around so we have been told to stay at home as much as possible. Because of this for the past three weeks, I haven't been going to school. Instead, I have been doing a distance learning/e-learning/at home school or whatever you want to call it. I have found that this way of learning goes by much faster, so I have had a lot of free time. In that free time, I have rediscovered loom bracelets, learned to solve a mixup cube and done a lot of brainteasers. Maybe I'll give more details later, but for now, that's all!
