Reader,
I really don't know how to feel about all this. On one hand I am awfully aware of just how lucky we are in Australia. Every night watching the news makes it more apparent. But somehow, even though I know that I am in one of the best positions I could be in, it's still frustrating! My main hope generally is that this situation forces governments around the world to reconsider their priorities.
I don't even know if I'm frustrated because of Corona! Is my first semester of uni being difficult because of Corona and online learning and having to move back home half way through and adjusting to that? Or am I just struggling with course work? Would I be more motivated if I could go to my lectures in person rather than listening to them on 2x speed at home? Was I just not prepared for starting uni? Perhaps I was just due for an existential
crisis anyway lmao. (hmm, 'lmao' in a public dairy entry might be a decision I'll regret one day ahaha).
At least we have technology nowadays though. What would I do if I couldn't zoom my friends and call my family? I just wish everyone stopped expecting people to suddenly have more time and energy to achieve things just because they're at home instead of going out. Uni online feels like more of a time commitment cause every day feels like a school day without structured weekends. (it's awful for me to complain while some people are out there without a safe place, or having to go to work and risk their lives though. I wish I knew how to be more helpful to society.)
Well... here's to the future. I hope it comes soon.
