Quarantine


     How am I doing with the COVID-19? Mostly, I’m annoyed that everyone keeps talking about it. The people in my life are okay, but I miss going to restaurants and getting to see some people. My dad’s too afraid of getting me sick so I’ve been staying with my mom since schools were closed.

     My education has become weekly assignments on computers. I’ve been staring at computers longer than I ever have in my life. I get distracted, but in a classroom I have nothing else to do, but finish my work. I manage to get it done though because I care about my grades. It’s also only the first week of assignments that aren’t optional so I’m still getting used to it.

     Being inside isn’t too bad. I was like this before because I don’t socialize much. This saved me from buying a dress I would only wear once to prom. Dances can be a bit much for me because I don’t like the loud music and I’m too shy to talk to anyone. It sucks however that I don’t know what’s going with graduation. That’s a big moment in everyone’s life, but the virus has left the world frozen with things being canceled. If it weren’t for the fact that I had different meal plans each day I would probably forget what day it was.

     I do a lot of things to distract me since I only leave the house once a day now and sometimes it’s only for walks because there’s no other plans. I feel like I’m handling well compared to other people. Most people are really overwhelmed, but I don’t let it get to me as much. I know this will end soon and until then I’m surviving.
