It's all a bit surreal, isn't it?
Only six months ago people were saying that 2020 was going to be the best year of their lives but little did they know it would be like a dystopian novel.
In January, Australia was faced with a drought, raging fires across the nation with 27.2 million acres burnt and horrible floods! February was less intense but there were rumours of World War 3 happening which scared the world. In March Puerto Rico was hit with earthquakes, many countries faced a humanitarian crisis and the coronavirus was introduced.
On the 23rd of March, Australia officially went into lockdown. It was really hard adjusting to online learning so quickly, but we had to learn. There weren't nearly as many cases of the virus in Australia as to other countries. As of today, there have been 7,283 cases of COVID-19 in Australia. In the US there has been 2.06 million cases and 115 thousand deaths. It's hard to imagine how stressful it would be to live in countries with such high deaths counts and be worried about a life-threatening disease 24/7.
While I was at home during the quarantine I watched a lot of Netflix. I finished four series and found my new obsession for "The Vampire Diaries". I did struggle to stay on top of my homework but I always caught up. I also slept, baked and did some art! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be since we were home for three months. I do feel a bit different after quarantine like I've started to see how horrible the world can get.
Quarantine really changed all of us.
