Classes resumed this week entirely online and each teacher is doing things different. I have a class each day that meets. My other two classes just give assignments due throughout the week and when they should be turned in (as well as guidelines and information relevant). It’s a bit difficult to keep up with at times. Online classes make me feel lethargic and want to put things off. I feel like I hardly have the energy to pay attention despite not doing anything. Without seeing people, I find it hard to have the motivation to take care of myself. I tend to want to stay in bed all day. My depressed mind feels heavy and sleepy.

On the upside- I have been spending more time online. Spending time in servers with friends and even made a new friend that I’ve actually become quite close. We have similar backgrounds and past experiences. Despite how lonely this stupid quarantine can feel, it helps immensely to be able to at least vocally chat with people. This is a situation where I feel technology helps us in keeping us connected. Without it, I think mine and many others would struggle even more with getting through this isolation period.

Honestly, I hate that classes have been cancelled until the end of the semester. It makes classes harder and I feel very distracted. Focusing on a lot of this is really hard for me. Plus the stress of not having any solid income is scary. I worked at my school, and since they more or less shut down, I can’t work. I feel like we weren’t taken into consideration.
