Addison’s Journal about Coronavirus starting the last week of March 2020
I first learned about coronavirus in early January, I originally heard it from some of my friends at school cracking up a joke on that day so I didn’t think it was very serious. But later on I obviously found out it was much worse. Originally I didn’t think much of it. In fact I wasn’t scared, but now, I’m starting to get a little more worried what if it gets worse and worse and then people around me start getting it.
At first I thought people were overreacting but then I found out that in real life it was much worse. I don’t usually watch the new so I just heard some rumors at school and some of them were a little suspicious they made me a little scared and not so sure.
I figure that sooner or later you’re going to find a cure and vaccine but right now all we need to worry about is staying at home and keeping our self quarantine so an outbreak doesn’t happen.
Home school is all right - better than I expected, but I miss my friends a lot. Honestly it’s hard for my teachers to teach me new things without being there to help me so I’m kind of learning easy new things or things I already know which I don’t enjoy doing. At least, I do get some work to do so I don’t have to repeat sixth grade again (ha ha Ha happy April Fools’ Day - 2020).
I usually finish my work in the morning so that I can play the rest of the day. Although I’ve been very fortunate to be able to come to our family's beach house and our lake house to have fun at the end of long days. During the weekends we try and hang out as a family, and play as much games as possible from the closet and just enjoy our time together.
I think that social distancing is very necessary in this tragic event, but honestly I really do miss seeing people and interacting with them. I am very grateful to be able to come to the lake and at least have some fun with some other people that I love but I do wish that I could spend some time with others.
Every day life
April 1, 2020 - Today I woke up a little bit late to be honest, but it’s alright because I got to work right away I had a great big breakfast also known as cereal. Then, I worked on my English, Math, Social Studies and Spanish Literacy school work, which is good because that means I don’t have a lot more to do tomorrow. After I finished my work, I went outside to go fishing and we went on a huge Sea-Doo ride which was so much fun. Then we went kayaking all the way to the log cabins. It was awesome, we swinged off a rope into the water and had so much fun altogether. Then I came home to eat steak, beans, and peas the best meal ever. I would say it was a great day then for the final moment of the day we had a fantastic homemade.. you guessed it chocolate brownies it was delicious.
It’s Day 22 of quarantine, do a check in with yourself. How are you feeling? How are you feeling yourself, about your family and about this whole situation?
I am feeling alright at the beginning of quarantine. I expected it to be annoying and a lot fighting but it actually has turned out to be better than I expected.
April 6 2020
If you could change one think about, what would you change?
That it wasn’t cold so that we could swim more often including at the lake, that would be so much more fun.
How do you think Trump/Government is handling this crisis?
Can’t say much, I don’t watch the news, but I mean I haven’t gotten it so I assume good. Honestly, my parents have it on the news on a little, it’s just I don’t pay attention because I think it is boring.
Where do you think Corona started?
China, I assume, I mean that’s all I’ve heard. Wait a second… technically it did not start in China because the bat got it somewhere else it could’ve been migrating from Australia, a yeah I think Australia started it.
April 7, 2020 - Is the Corona pandemic bringing your family closer together or farther apart?
Definitely, 100% closer together. I mean, we have been able to do things we haven’t done in 11 years. I am going on a runs every morning, working out as a family, I mean playing every game in the closet and that is a big closet. Watching TV every single night focusing on building our relationship closer. Even though tragic stuff is happening around the world, our family has never been closer.
April 8, 2020. 1.) What type of things have to learned over the last 3 weeks? 2) What Things have you had time to do that you can’t usually do?
Like I said in the question before, I have gotten to go on runs every morning ( okay fine well I at least did a short workout or walk). We watch TV as a family every single night unless we act up. We have gone to sit down and this is something we’ve never been able to do we got to sit down and actually eat together and pray before every single dinner meal and clean up as a family. I mean that at least counts for something.
