It is Wednesday today, and there are two more days until I can go back to high-school and meet some of my classmates and friends. At high-school, there will be new rules such as social distancing and more hygienic administrations because of COVID-19. Over the past two months, COVID-19 has had many impacts on my social life as it keeps me away from socialising with people which ultimately makes me feel restricted and gloomy, but the government has to take action on this wide-spreading disease and put restrictions on our society to limit the spread of COVID-19. I can't do activities which were common in the past, and that staying at home and not moving outside the proximity of my home makes me bored. My parents are implementing new methods so that I won't get COVID-19 (I travel by train to high-school so there is a higher risk). The government is planning to ease restrictions soon, but I feel apprehensive as there might be a second wave (hopefully not because I want to get back to high-school).

Sitting down on a chair and looking at a screen for an extended time could be unhealthy, but it is compulsory for remote learning. I don't have to move to classes physically and there is no physical teacher creepily watching me doing my work. Doing remote learning can be distracting when doing work as many distractions around me can make me procrastinate as no teacher is supervising you to make sure that you are doing your work and not playing some kind of video game. It also seems that there are more tasks and homework to do compared to face-to-face teaching.

I hope that COVID-19 will end soon so that we can go back to our normal life.
