ONLINE LEARNING

HI EVERYONE!! I hope you are all well and staying safe while the vaccines are being given out and we are hopefully reaching some sort of CLIMAX to this.

Today I just want to ‘spill some thoughts’:

So I remember in the week before we went into the first lockdown my friends were gradually leaving school for various reasons like vulnerable people at home or parents worrying about safety. We were all quite excited at the idea of doing school at home and it was fun at first, I remember there were trends like making whipped coffee and I did that while on FaceTime with my friends…while in an online lesson.

Eventually I got bored though and I remember sitting on my bed watching our last assembly before the summer holiday and feeling SAD because the whole time had really just felt like a holiday, but one which consisted of going nowhere and only seeing friends online… a boring holiday.

I was definitely glad to go back to school in September and I was having fun so it was weird when my two week half term came so soon. Then so soon after that it was the Christmas holiday, but we had a lot of work for the half term so that felt more ideal.

And now I find myself in another lockdown. Which is seeming to be a lot more difficult than last time. This morning was especially bad though as I had to get up SUPER EARLY for a choir rehearsal and it was all going well until I got kicked out of the meeting and I couldn’t get back on, nor could I connect to the live or resource video in the next lesson. So I got frustrated, especially because I was tired and needed to wash my hair 😂. So then I just had a shower and now I am sitting in my lesson typing this, which I really shouldn’t be but, here I am.

I also feel like I have had much more of a loss of contact this lockdown , and usually I would consider myself as more of an introvert, in the way that sometimes I don’t look to people to de-stress or anything. (I can remember the exact way to tell) But I’ve found that it gets kind of LONELY when all my family are all on their separate calls and I can’t seem to get hold of my friends, which I guess could partly be a good thing because I actually pay attention to my lesson.

But the main point I guess is , even if your in lockdown there is still a point in reaching out to people because, at least in my case, you can never have too much contact with people when in lockdown !!

So I hope if you take anything away from this it is that there will always be someone who wants to talk to you , even if it doesn’t seem like it.
