COVID-19 was massive. all I remember was being picked up from school and my mum balling her eyes out . all she said was ''I think I have been exposed to someone with corona''... and my heart dropped. we all went into isolation 2 weeks before everyone else did. she went and got tested straight and luckily she was tested negative. it was so hard being in iso, especially since all my friends were still at school.
online learning was so hard. my school didn't end up doing zoom calls, and my parents were working full time so I had no one to assist me. I was receiving 35 emails a day.. having new things posted on compass 24/7.. and things on google classroom posted and expected to be handed in by the next day were so hard.
I couldn't go see my grandparents because everyone was being cautious. easter was so hard.. usually every easter we would all get together with all my cousins and all the fam, but this year it was very different and a whole lot lonely.
I couldn't meet up with my friends at all, so instead, I had to facetime them. We had Netflix parties and we joined random cahoots.
apart from being lonely, it was a good time to relax and reflect on everything that I grateful for. I am really glad that I am back at school.
