#Being stuck at home how to
She's started teaching me how to cook and bake, and she's been encouraging me to find recipes that I'd like to try out. Maybe it's the boredom already getting to me, but I've started bonding with my parents more, my mom especially. Even at home, I would shut myself in my room and spend all my time on my computer, limiting my interaction with others as much as possible.īut now, I find myself actually venturing out of my room and interacting with others more than ever during this isolation. After all, even when I had to physically go to school, I mostly kept to myself, ever the introvert. When I first went into self-isolation, I expected almost nothing to change. I’ve adapted, I’ve overcome, and I've been on my phone too much.
#Being stuck at home Ps4
since school let out) and I’ve played 15 hours of the PS4 game my mother got for Christmas in the last three days. My sleep schedule is shot (I don't think I’ve gotten to bed before 1 a.m. School has been out for a week and I’m already feeling the effects. The difference the coronavirus has made has been clear for weeks in the reduced number of cars on the road, the empty shelves at grocery stores, and yes - the lack of toilet paper anywhere that sells it. I live in Seattle, which I’ve heard people call the “corona capital” of America. Even when it is just your mother yelling at you to use hand sanitizer and not being able to see your friends. You always kind of know that your life is going to be history, but to be confronted with something which no one alive can recall anything similar to feels powerful. It's odd, what feels like a prequel to summer break (which, as prequels sometimes are, is infinitely worse) is going to be read about in textbooks when I'm gone. The human race, the kids being pulled out of school, the global efforts to socially distance ourselves from our friends, neighbors who are willing to shop for their elderly or immunocompromised friends. Not just the disease, we’ve had plenty of those before, but us.
The coronavirus is history in the making. The world kinda feels like it's quietly on fire.
But I had to actually exercise for gym - and provide a screenshot proving I went for a run - so that's pretty cool. Most of my projects were for competitions that are probably gonna get canceled. I deleted TikTok and Snapchat to try to keep the ball rolling with my projects, but my enthusiasm is fading. I took my first day of online school pretty seriously, but by day two, my focus had waned. Technical difficulties with online school had the 9-year-old howling from downstairs. We didn't butt heads at first - the constant presence of our beloved cats had put us all at ease - but it was inevitable. My siblings and parents started working from home that afternoon.
I literally said the words "I am so happy!" for the first time in years, just because I couldn't contain such genuine emotion. A nasty chem test swerved! My Google calendar loaded with self-care and projects I'd been putting off for months because of schoolwork.
