Before I came to Canada, I had other options that I could choose. Like Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. Why did I choose to come to Canada? First, Australia’s working holiday numbers aren't limited so I thought I could come to Australia after Canada. Second, Ireland’s currency is higher than other countries and their working holiday numbers are limited so they have to draw lots to decide who gets the opportunity to come. Likewise, New Zealand has the limit required. Besides, my study tour agent said language schools offer some programs that students can work on while studying in Canada. Because usually language school students cannot work during studying. So I came over.

Recently, I feel stressed because of covid-19. One of the reasons is I recently live in Canada and I am not a Canadian. So I worry about medical expenses even though I have insurance. But it is just travel insurance which I take from the insurance company of my home country and It is not government health insurance in Canada so I don’t know if it works. One of the other reasons is if I confirm the covid-19, I will have to find an isolation ward with room service. It will cost me a lot and I still have to pay my rent where I live now while I live in an isolation ward. Plus, I live alone so no one can help me out here. I recently feel homesick and want to go back to my home country. I hope everything is ok and goes well.

Every weekend, I will spend time making cakes and cookies with my friend. Because of covid-19, the only way is to stay at home, even if it's your free day. It’s very boring and sometimes I feel anxious. Honestly, I never thought I would do the baking stuff. I usually just take out when I want some desserts and if someone invites me to do baking stuff, I will feel that is very troublesome. After all, I have to buy various ingredients and prepare. Until now, everything has changed. I feel the baking is quite interesting and I feel a sense of accomplishment after doing desserts. I think I fell in love with making desserts.

My friends decided to visit me tomorrow. We were planning to have afternoon tea. I was supposed to make cheesecakes and Panna cottas to treat them. And I gave up because I thought the taste was supposed to delicious, but it didn't that I expected when I tasted. Then, I decided to buy outside or just offer cookies and drinks instead. It was really a pity and I was supposed to show how great my cooking. Haha...I told myself I would try again in my free time and treated my friends in the future if I prepared.

When they came in, I saw they bring 3 cakes which one of them was 12 inch, two of them was 6 inch. I thought that it was too much for us. Because had other friends bring 4 combos of sushi, 2 boxes of macarons, 2 boxes of oreo, 2 boxes of chip, 2 large bottles of drink and we only had 7 peoples. When I finished sushis, I felt my stomach had already seven full. Then we sang the birthday song to celebrate for the birthday boys and girls. I couldn't even eat a whole piece of cake. It was nice, but a little be too sweet for me and macarons as well. Afterward, some of people sang, Some of people watched TV, Some of people were doing yoga.

I hope everything goes well.

16) Keep a diary (Friday, June 12, 2020.) Friday, June 12, 2020. Recently, I have been obsessed with cheesecake. It came to mind that I could make myself. I could customize recipes for cheesecake, like sugar level, ingredients, cream cheeses, butter, and so on...The costs also less than buy outside. I remembered that I searched lots of about how to make cheesecake before I made it. I felt a little headache after during searched. Because it was the first time that I tried to make a cheesecake and there have lots of ways to make it. It was confusing to the eyes by looking at many things. I remembered the first time I made that I cut five pieces of cream cheese put the pan and heat it until it gets melted and put 30g sugar, 120g cream cheeses, 120g table cream, then stir it. This took about 10 to 15 minutes. Afterward, I add 7g gelatine and until all stir well. Then I put them in the container and fridged 30minutes to 1 hour. Finally, I could enjoy it. It was tasty that I was unexpectedly delicious. It looks like I have a talent for this.

15) Keep a diary (Tuesday, May 9th, 2020.) Tuesday, May 9th, 2020. I want to grocery store to buy basic supplies this afternoon. When I was going to enter the subway and taped my presto card on the card reader, it showed me'' insufficient balance'' on the screen. I don't remember I had already run out and I remembered that I had been loaded my card last time. I thought that this was unlikely to happen. Then, I checked/inquired/confirmed my balance next to the add-value machine. It was showing me I did load my card last week, but I also had already run out. I realized how poor memory I was. Afterward, I went to my friend's place in everything. We were supposed to get Macdonald's sorbet. When we just got there, they closed. So we decided to get Match ice creams nearby Macdonald instead. Then, we talked a lot and she told me she teaches funny stuff during her class while we were talking in the park. We haven't seen for a couple of weeks. Even today was not things special, it still a nice day for me.
