My Last Few Days

Being in a sort of isolation is not pleasant at all, but I'm glad my students are managing in this way or another.

Last week was the most boring in my life. Because of the epidemic, I can't go out of my house, I can't go out with my friends, I can't go for a walk ... I spend all day at home watching classes and watching movies. I spend time with my family only because they are in the house all day too. We play  games or talk. I get up late, go to bed late. Before going to bed, I talk to my friends and other relatives. I hope this epidemic will end quickly because I cannot stay at home

My last few days were pretty dull. Usually I  watched TV shows and films, walked my dog and chatted with my friends. My friends and I were only talking about how much we miss each other and how we can’t wait to go back to school, if that even happens. I finished all of my exercise books for my exam. I finished them really fast because I was really bored and had nothing to do. Every day I played with my dog on my lawn.

I spent my last few days staying at home. I was usually drawing or doing my homework, while my sister was studying and having online classes with her faculty professors.
My mom was preparing the rest of the dinner when I helped her make pancakes two days ago. It was my first time making them, so I got not only experience, but a few burns.
I was often looking for my knitting needles, but I never seemed to find them.
I was always making sure to be moving while in the house, and I always tried to catch a moment to go outside, since these days was a privilege to have a backyard.
Nevertheless, I was never bored, and I always had something to do, either schoolwork, chores or hobbies.

Well, for the last few days i have been at home like my mom and realized this very seriously. I washed my hands very often.I was mostly inside and tried not to go out, but when I did I wore a mask and medical gloves.
Because of virus we didn't go to school and we had lessons on TV. I spent a lot of time learning and working on biology and history projects. Because I couldn't train, I did exercises at home, listened to music and watched series in my free time.I also helped my mom in preparing lunch and dinner.
I was not bored at home, I was busy all day. I wanted everything back to normal and to get back to training and school.

Staying in the nature and training are the best physical activities, but due to the new situation it is forbidden to go out and train. Because of this, I try to organize myself to maintain my physical activity and health.
Staying at home for the last few  days was boring. As much as I was trying to have fun, nothing can replace hanging out with friends, training, cycling... I woke up early to have more time for all my daily activities. When I had had breakfast I tidied my room. Then my mom asked me to do some housework, such as ironing, washing the dishes... After all the housework, I did school projects on Google Classroom and helped my sister with her homework. Then I watched digital classes and wrote down the most important ones. In order to maintain my physical activity every afternoon with my mom and sister, I did muscle exercises. Since I had more free time I tried to spend it with my family so we watched movies and played board games. It was fun. Since I don't see my friends, we talked on the phone every night.
That's what my quarantine days look like. I can't wait for this to be over and I can visit my grandparents again, see my friends and spend time outside.

We are all aware that the new Corona virus has changed our daily lives. We all have to stick with some rules in order to be safe. That includes online school and social distancing.
In this period of my life I try to be as productive as I can and not waste my time watching my phone. Every morning I finish my homework so I can be more organized throughout the day. Other things that I like doing are cleaning my room, so I can get rid of the things and clothes that I don't need.
The better side of this whole situation is that I can spend more time with my family. We like watching movies in the evening and playing board games.

For the last few days, I've been doing the same things. When I get up in the morning I get dressed and eat. Then I play games with my friends online, watch TV classes and do homework. I watch a movie with my family in the evenings and it's like that every day. Sometimes I do some training exercises in the house and sometimes I go outside. Mostly I get bored, but sometimes I find a way yo have fun.

Everything has changed since they discovered that there were people infected with COVID-19  in Serbia. There are rigorous rules and restrictions that we must all follow. Life is very different.
I've spent the last few days in the house. In the morning I went to the store wearing a mask and gloves. Then it was time to do y homework. My older brother and I did our homework on a laptop by taking turns. While I was practising the piano he was finishing his homework. Then I listened to my classes on TV for two hours. After that, my brother was listening to his classes while I was having a class with a piano teacher. I had music theory classes for high school enrollment. In addition to all this, I washed my hands a hundred times yesterday.
I miss my classmates and some teachers. I miss walking to school. I'm tired of phones and laptops and washing my hands and wearing protective gear every time I go out.

I really haven't done much these days. I mean, it is expected because of the COVID-19, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have interesting stories.
For a long time I was spending my days in my home with my parents and that was it. I sometimes played card games and watched TV with them, but I didn’t do anything else besides the usual. I couldn't visit my grandparents and I just stayed at home while playing video games and watching classes on TV.
But 3 days ago, even though I shouldn’t have done it, I decided to walk around for like an hour a day around my neighborhood and surrounding streets. This changed a lot because I could get a bit of fresh air while everything was closed. This meant I saw what the streets looked like when there was nobody walking, driving or riding a bike. It meant I saw a lot of chirping birds and elegant cats. This was semi-surprising because I did expect that there would be cats and birds, but I didn’t expect how many there would be. It was more eventful than I thought.
How were your days? Hopefully they weren’t boring or bad.
