What is it like working from home?

Because of the flexibility of online schooling, I find every day to be a little more

different than the last. My sleeping schedule gets cycled constantly. One day I would

find myself staying up with the sun, and the next starting with the sunset and ending with

the sunrise. I get everything done on time, but I never feel tired because if my body yearns

for sleep, I will on the spot. I don’t feel like a machine running out of oil anymore and I,

for once, feel completely in control of my life.

What are you learning about your world/community based on the reactions?

I’ve learned that, even at the point of near economic collapse, people will still do their part

to help. Companies like Sony and Ubisoft are offering their top selling games for free to

keep people at home. More recently, Ikea gave away the recipe for their famous sweedish

meatballs! They’ve always been so protective of their recipe, so for them to release it is

mind-boggling and generous to say the least. If it wasn’t already impossible to fathom my

respect for this company, you can only imagine to what regards I hold them to now.

Your own personal feelings and thoughts about what is happening right now.

Besides the lack of after school activities and not being able to see my friends, I enjoy

staying in the comforts of my home. I feel like I’m putting in as much effort into school

here as I would’ve if I came in every day, but now I can focus on the other things I’ve

always meant to do in my free time. I’m feeling more motivated than ever and I’m finally

doing something with my life. I still miss you all, but while I’m holed up here, I’m going

to utilize my time to the best of my ability.
