As we enter our 8th month of COVID my life as I once knew it has changed drastically. I really miss the social interaction of school and work. I work for a school district so I have not been able to work. I really miss my students and feel so bad for them as they learn from home, it is truly not an ideal situation. Having all my classes on line has been challenging. I miss seeing my classmates and working with them in group settings. The computer does not do group work justice. I have missed out on two vacations – one trip to Cabo San Lucas for my 21st birthday and one trip back East to see my cousin graduate from George Washington University. Instead I watched her from home and celebrated with her in a drive by parade. I felt bad that she had to graduate virtually after all of her hard work, I hope this doesn’t happen to me. The circle of people I interact with is limited. I really don’t see extended family due to quarantine and I only get to see three friends that spend as much time at home as I do. I limit myself to who I see because I do a lot for my elderly grandparents. I miss playing soccer and coaching my high school team. I have taken up cooking, and painting, but it does not satisfy me. I feel like the days run into each other and I do not feel as productive as I usually am. I can’t wait to return to normal. I just wish people would do their part so we can live like we once did.
