Post 11: Nothing Has Changed, But I Did Have a Date.

We’re in quarantine still. There’s really no update. The only new thing is that I had an online date, both because of quarantine and because of long distance. We spent the day watching movies and played video games together. It was incredibly nice and I really enjoyed it. Myself and the person have gone through similar things and we have connected really well. Spending time with him is refreshing and he plans to visit the U.S once all this craziness is over. I’m really looking forward to it. That being said, we’re not dating, yet at least. Overall though, everything has been mind-numbing boring. Classes have just been hard to pay attention to and I feel like nothing is improving. It’ll be interesting to get through the rest of the semester like this. I really don’t know what to write about. This is the one time that I may end a post early before I fill quota because I don’t know what to write.

Post 9: Early Spring Break and Online Classes Because of Coronavirus

School got cancelled early because of panic more or less. I’m not a medical professional or anything, but this virus is no more deadly than the flu. But to move on, I work for the school I go to and they won’t let student workers work, even those of us who aren’t travelling. To say I’ve been frustrated and anxious is an understatement. A lot of things feel like they don’t make sense and I also fear how online classes will go especially in classes that rely heavily on participation. 

I did get to go to the zoo with friends and met up with my brother at a pretty neat market. It was nice to be out of the house. I don’t really know what to write about. I can’t really see my friends right now and being home all the time isn’t the best. Even though I’m introverted, I still like to see the people I consider friends. I have an exam in religion due, and then not really anything until online classes start. All of this is just incredibly weird. It’s like a real version of the Plague Inc. game. I just wonder if we’re taking the right steps, or if we’re freaking out over something that has killed less people than the common flu. I just- I can’t help be a little bitter. I know, “think about the elderly or the people with compromised immune systems” but like, it this any different from any other cold/flu season for them? Like yes, I’m glad people are washing their hands more and trying to be healthier, but the panic buying and fear mongering is just ridiculous.
