Coronavirus
Crisis
One way that the the coronavirus has affected me is with schoolwork Since the the outbreak started and the schools closed I I I have more time to complete my work It feels like I I I have have more freedom and control when it comes to my work I I also feel like I I have have been getting swarmed with emails from my teachers and it it does get get annoying For a a a a a a person who admires the outside as being a a a a distraction from home it kind of of throws me me off that I can only go outside a a a a a limited amount of time Being home has me me me feeling more isolated than usual I I want to go outside and hang out out with friends but I I am feeling overwhelmed with all this work and and it it is is affecting my mood every day I wake up and and immediately get into the remote learning it is frustrating I I have been getting bored of doing work work but the only work work that I I like to do do from remote learning is is is exercising math and and Mandarin I feel like my brain is is is getting fried from doing all all of this work I actually feel like getting getting a a a a a a a a GED as a a a a a a a a way to to stop getting getting emails from my my teachers My mood is almost always low unless I make myself laugh because of all the work Sometimes I I can’t keep up with everything because I I have to focus
on college and my after-school program I I like going to school school but I I hate doing the work that is taking over over my life right now I I feel like I’m scrambled all over over the place not being able to actually chill out 15
