I thought staying at home was gonna be easy, unfortunately not. I have never realised how much I loved going out until i had lost the opportunity to.

Last week, we finally started phase one and could go to school once a week. I actually enjoyed it so much. I have gotten almost all my work done. If i stayed at home i would have procrastinated. I was really happy to see my friends again too. We made sure we spent our day as fun but with social distancing included.

I personally believe i work better at school while everyone around me is working too. Online school has its pros and cons. I'm getting much more sleep and I'm a lot less tired than i would be if i were to go school every morning so it helps me use my brain more efficiently. But then online school, i think they give way more work than they usually would.

I find it a lot harder to concentrate since there are so many things that could lead me to distraction. At school we would always have a teacher looking out if we have any troubles or if we are not messing around, but at home there is no teacher to do that.

Although i hate waking up extremely early for school, i do love seeing my friends and having face to face interactions with them. Learning is so much easier at school. At home, i have a lot of time to myself but everyday feels like repetition. I hope soon, we could go back to school normally and maybe start school at 10. Just kidding, i would love to go back normally and have this pandemic to end and find a cure ASAP.
