Do Now: 11/9

     Due to the teachers' conventions in Atlantic City, the students of WRHS and many other public schools in New Jersey were granted a long weekend. Many enjoyed their extended weekend by sleeping, going out, or just relaxing. For a portion of my long weekend, I was in The Valley Hospital. Earlier that week I had been diagnosed with pancreatitis. This meant my pancreas was inflamed and and swollen, causing me great pain. I was released from the hospital late Thursday. Later that night i went to Whole Foods to purchase items I could eat with minimal pain due to my condition. After going home, I stayed home and watched Netflix.
     On Friday I had felt less pain so I had transitioned to coming home. I hung out with my aunt and cousins who had been looking to film a video at the WRHS field, but due to inclimate weather we could not proceed. On Saturday I attended the WR football game, where we lost to Harrison High School in the last five seconds. Later that night, I went to Whole Foods again for dinner. On Sunday I went to breakfast at the Candlwyck Diner with my friend, Milena. After that I celebrated my cousin's sixth birthday and helped film the video with my Aunt aforementioned. I later went for a walk with my friend Lawrence and then went to bed. Find a video of the Valley Hospital Staff here.
