I am bored. I have done the same thing each day for the past two weeks. I will probably do the same thing for the next four weeks. Being locked in my house has made me feel extremely lazy. I have found myself to be tired all the time. I take senseless naps as if sleeping more will pass the time until we can go back to normal life. My normal routines have changed drastically. On weekends, I sleep till around 2 pm, wake up, and start my day. During weekdays, I roll out of bed around 9:00, go to my desk, and turn my computer on. I join the zoom call and take the next 15 minutes to even wake up. It is not until halfway through class that I am fully focused. I sit there and listen to the teacher talk and he or she screen-shares the notes. Frankly, I thought Zoom classes would be terrible, but in my experience so far, I haven’t found them to be much of a struggle. As long as I follow along and don’t sidetrack, I am understanding the material. I usually go back to sleep after classes are over.

The hardest part of being quarantined for me is not being able to go to the gym. I have been lifting consistently for the past few years. On a normal day, I would spend close to 2 hours working out. Lifting and working out have become something I have become extremely passionate about. It is a time where I can put my headphones on, blast my music, and better myself with no distractions. Since being home, all of the local gyms have closed their doors because the virus would spread easily when you are using the same equipment as many other people. Working out in a basement is just a different environment. There is a lack of equipment and motivation, and it is just not the gym. 

I miss the sense of structure in my life. I miss always having something that I can do, or someone I can hang out with. I often can’t find anything to do. I feel as if I am just wasting my time nowadays. I would much rather be at school.
