I drag myself out of bed slowly and check the time. 8:30 am. Dammit. I really didn’t want to get out of bed. I just started high school a few weeks before lockdown, so the year I was meant to spend getting used to high school was instead spent messing around with zoom and trying not to get distracted.

I'm an introvert, one of those people who prefers messaging to talking, so this pandemic affects me less than most others, but it still annoys me that i can’t even visit my friends yet. I'm bored at home. There's nothing to do apart from watch Netflix, Youtube, play board games and video games. I’ve learnt some useful skills though. My dad bought this huge table tennis table from Kmart, so I've been playing with him everyday.

Covid-19 is the second worst pandemic, behind the 1918 flu. I'm waiting for restrictions to be fully lifted, but that doesn’t seem to be until probably around October.

Hope I don’t lose my sanity.
