Hey guys! I miss every single person in class even if I didn’t get to talk to you individually. This class was the only one that I was able to talk in. I really enjoyed class time and sadly now it has come to a halt.
This whole situation is really hard for me because it splits me right down the middle with my personality. Since I consider myself to be an ambivert I tend to see one personality over the other in times like these. For instance since I’m home all the time now I am currently struggling to express the extroverted side of myself. As of right of now I am a hermit, I spend 18 out of the 24 hours of the day in my room.
I want to go outside but the most I can do outside is long board, bike, walk, and play soccer with my sister. I miss my local lake, my homies, and my girlfriend. I truly don’t know what is going to come out of this at the end of it all, but I’m confident that it will be done sooner than what most people are expecting. That doesn’t mean that I think this will be done in a month It means I’m trying to keep a level head about it all.
This is definitely the most unprecedented event to ever occur in my life and I will emerge from it a different person. I’m now extremely aware of how germs work, how to stay safe from illnesses, and how my body reacts to diseases like these.
I have asthma currently and it puts me and my mother, who also has asthma, at risk of this disease. It means we have a higher chance of not surviving the disease. We are being extra careful and making sure that we are staying clean, and staying indoors. Which by the way I hope everyone is doing!
I do enjoy having a lot of free time on my hand because I have been using it to explore other passions of mine like streaming, drawing, and filming. All this time to myself has really allowed me to see what my true passions are.
I have also had time to re-explore things of my past! Some old drawings I have redone, some old games I have re-plaid, and some old shows that I have been re-watching. Sponge bob is actually the funniest show to ever watch when you are older.
I hope that you have been safe and secure everybody!

I hope that your prediction of this virus ending sooner than we hope is correct! I’m missing the class and the discussions we had too, it was always nice to actually talk in a class and be heard. I’m trying to go outside and do stuff too to be active but the weather near me has just been rain which sucks, I hope no one else is facing that issue.

I agree that it has been hard having to follow the stay at home order. I feel like social interations are good for everyone and not having the opportunity to do that is rough. I too spend most of my time in my room and agree that its having an impact on my health. Its good that you are trying to be productive because I’ve learned so far that its helping me too. Hopefully by summer its all over and we can happily go back to our everyday lives.

I hope you and your mom are doing ok and staying safe! I feel exactly the same way when it comes to our classes, this course was my only non-lecture class so it’s hard really having almost no interaction with other people in your class. Now when I’m learning new material and I’m lost, it makes me miss those large lectures were I was confused but at least I was surrounded by a hundred other people that were confused too. I appreciate how positive you sound in this essay and it made me feel a little bit better!
Thank you,
Giulia
