I am happy to say that I got my second vaccine shot this month! I am now fully vaccinated and feel more comfortable going out. I am also glad that we were given a one-week extension on the Age-Friendly Neighborhood Assessment Project because there is just a lot of projects and things that I am working on right now so the extension was very helpful. Because of the pandemic, I rarely went out. Going out on trips and walking around my neighborhood to take photos for the project was a nice change of pace. Because of the pandemic, I moved back in with my parents. Currently, I live in San Francisco, Chinatown where I was born and raised. As I have spent most of my life living in Chinatown I am not as interested in my surrounding; similar to sensory adaptation or habituation. This project made me give things in my community a second look. There is something different when you give something familiar to you a deeper look as you begin to notice things you have not before. Furthermore, through my walks, it is nice to see the mural that I have worked on during high school still up in the alleyway. Although the pandemic is still ongoing it is nice to observe the familiar bustling supermarkets since Chinatown would not be Chinatown if not for its lively atmosphere. I look forward to presenting some things about my neighborhood next week when we meet!
