Tea Time with Lexi Hodder
Lexi Hodder, junior, has been finding creative ways to entertain herself while in quarantine, spicing up her life at home. Read this Tea Time to find out more!
- How have you been socializing with your friends?
a. Over summer I would have a lot of walks with some of my friends while social distancing and I do have get-togethers with groups of my friends where we wear masks. I actually had a stay at homecoming party where we socially distanced and just had fun and listened to music and it was very fun. - How have you been with school?
a. It’s honestly been off to a rough start because I think that not only do the students not know what they’re doing but also the teachers because I think, everyone is just a little confused. Obviously these are very unprecedented times, but I think everyone is just trying the best that they can. It’s definitely not ideal, if anything if this is as hard as it gets, I’m handling it, so I think it’ll be smooth sailing after that. - How have you been managing school while making sure to give yourself free time?
a. Honestly I do procrastinate, but I have this calendar/planner thing that I keep track of what needs to be done. I give myself breaks so I can talk with my friends, sometimes I’ll talk with my friends while I’m doing my homework or I’ll work on homework with a friend who has a class with me. I’ll just get what I need to get done first and then if I have free time then I might get started early on something. I’m definitely balancing my social life especially with clubs. - I hear you are the social media chair for Interact club. Can you tell me about that?
a. I am the co-publicist for Interact. I co-run the Instagram for Interact. We did interviews with each of the board members of the club to get to know who’s in charge and create a sense of familiarity. We meet every other Thursday at 10:50 so we are just working on getting that information out to everyone. People can join because it’s a really fun club, I really do like that club. - Have you been listening to any good music lately?
a. Yes. Taylor Swift‘s “folklore” came out in July and I’m still jamming to it. It’s good stuff. I do really like that album and I think it’s one of her best. It’s very nostalgic. It’s kind of like old Taylor meets new Taylor. I’ve been listening to a lot of music. I’ve been listening to classical music a lot lately, it’s good music to listen to while you’re working. It’s especially good to listen to when I’m working on stuff for my art class, it just puts me in a creative mood. - What art classes are you taking?
a. I’m taking AP art which is very fun, but it’s definitely a weird structure with social distancing. You don’t have the art kit that they have at school so I have to run around the house to find whatever I have. We’re doing watercolors so I had to just pull out this horrible Crayola six color watercolor pan that’s crusting over and I haven’t touched since the fifth grade but you have to work with what you got.
