Journal April 6,8,9

April 6, 2020
I’ve felt more and more worried about corona virus and how it is affecting life. I feel like in the beginning of this virus I wasn’t very worried because I had rationalized that if I just followed CDC guidelines that I wouldn’t get it and everything would go back to normal after a few hectic months. However, I’ve come to the realization that this virus isn’t just attacking the country in a purely physical way. The virus has wrecked our economy, and the rate of unemployment is near what it was during the Great Depression. I now realize my life won’t just go back to normal even when the virus is gone.

My sleep schedule is gone. Like if there was any sort of schedule before this virus it is absolutely gone. Last night I stayed up till 6 reading the book The Name of the Wind. To be fair it was a very good book, but now I am very tired and will likely take a nap later. I feel nocturnal and like the days are just blending together. I really hope that this ends sooner than I think because going another couple months without physical touch from anyone other than my family is really hard. I just want to hug my friends, watch movies with them, and go to the beach. I really hope this summer can be slightly normal.

I feel like this quarantine has really shown everyone how although the internet and social media can make people feel isolated they can also really connect people. Last night I had a Group FaceTime call with my family in different states and we all got to talk and check in which was very fun. I’ve also been FaceTiming my friends every day to try and get some sort of interaction outside my family. We have also been playing video games together which has been really fun. Honestly I don’t really miss school like other people do, I guess I just miss the social interaction of seeing people in person.
