Hiya people! This whole coronavirus deal is kinda getting out of hand. I understand that the spread

of this should be slowed and we should be quarantined, but I hate it. I am home in sunny New

Jersey and I am outraged. I’d rather still be going to classes in Boston. I was picked up Sunday.

Obviously, I felt as though I should not be leaving, even though it was necessary. I literally had to be

kicked out of the apartment because I wouldn’t leave. After being uprooted from my apartment in the

(not) beautiful and scenic Loftman hall, I had to drive home with my brother. I then came home to my

dad thinking he was immune to the virus, I have since convinced him otherwise, and needless to

say, I was anxious, right now he and my brother are going golfing. I just don’t understand how this

coronavirus pandemic has escalated so quickly. I understand that it is extremely contagious and

dangerous, but we knew that. I feel as though even though we knew about the virus we were still

blindsided when the online classes email came. 

Classes. I honestly have no idea what I am doing with these online classes. I have never taken one

before, and I never wanted to. I do not know where anything is, and I am starting to think I am the

only one not understanding how to do anything with our new school situation. I am still somewhat

unclear about what I have to do in all of my classes, and I am constantly scared that I am missing an

entire assignment because I did not look at the right folder on Blackboard. One of my classes, Moral

and Social Problems in Healthcare, is a discussion-based class. I was most worried about how this

class was going to go. With the little information the professor has given the class, I can gather that

the entire class is moot and we are just going to be discussing coronavirus, all of our discussion

topics to coronavirus related questions. It might as well change its name to Moral and Social

Problems: coronavirus.

On top of everything, I am doing well, I guess. My cats have been fighting, aggressively, so there

might be a chance that one of them is sick. That’s not great. I am so confused on how to do online

classes, not so great either. I am annoyed with my family because I have not been with them for an

extended period of time since August and now we are quarantined together. And, in addition to all of

that, I can’t see any of my friends because of the quarantine. So yeah, my life is dandy. On a more

serious note, I am fine and thankful that I have noise-canceling headphones. Just kidding… not

really. But, I am above all thankful that everyone is healthy and not entirely insane in this house.

Moral of the story, I am healthy, mildly annoyed, no, aggressively annoyed, quarantine, and

confused. Stay safe friends!
