So after about nine weeks in self isolation, doing online school and not being able to see my friends, I'm finally back at school. This pandemic has made me realise how much I need to talk to people, other than my parents, being an only child in quarantine is very lonely. School is important, even though I don't like doing it most of the time. As a functioning human being, social distancing is hard, it's hard for a lot of people. (But for some people it's like heaven.) Unfortunately, we still have to do it. If we want this pandemic to decrease, then self isolating and social distancing is what we, as other human beings, have to do to ensure that. I'm kind of annoyed at the government though. They're forcing kids to go back to school or they'll fine the family $1000. Seriously? What about the anxious kids, the ones who are terrified, did they not take that into account? Well, at least we're better off than America.
