I feel as if being quarantined is the new norm. My family has been adapted this this lifestyle for the past four weeks. It is crazy to think that we haven’t been able to go out for so long and that it is undetermined when we will be able to. However, as humans, we have adapted our whole life’s and this is no different. This week especially, I have gotten into a routine and found out what works for me during this time. To me, the most important things is being patient with this whole process. Being patient has not always been my forte. But I have been given an opportunity to work on it.
This week, I started writing task lists for what I needed to accomplish in the week and it greatly improved my ability to accomplish everything in a timely manner. I used to think that being Quarantine would give me so much extra time. However, days seem to be passing by and I feel like the workload is just as much. Time does not really have a meaning at this point. Although I have classes and things in my schedule, I often find myself wondering what day it is. I end up looking at the clock and realizing that a few hours have passed.
I am usually not very organized. Now that I have had time to focus on other things I have found myself cleaning my room and staying organized. I guess that staying in control of how clean my life is is one thing I can do.
This past week has been extremely sunny which has uplifted my mood. I went down to the beach once and also have gone for two swims. As a water polo player, it is extremely odd for me to not have been in the pool for about a month. Being able to just even be in the water again felt amazing. I had not realized how much I missed it.
