Due to this virus a worldwide pandemic was issued by the World Health Organization. What does this mean? Social distancing and a vampire lifestyle until this pandemic goes away. This week, I want to share how I\u2019m dealing with rapid life style change and my thoughts on the current situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as I\u2019m ashamed to admit, I originally thought this whole situation would blow over quickly. I never thought the Coronavirus would spread to this extent nor affect my life as much as it has. Personally, the biggest impact the virus has had is definitely my education. I never thought I\u2019d say it, but I miss school. Unlike previous years, this year and the next one are particularly important to me. I need good grades to get into a good university or collage, and with schools closed I don\u2019t know how grades will be doled out. I\u2019m honestly very worried for my grades, particularly Chemistry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chemistry is definitely not my forte and I admittedly had been struggling a bit. It has gotten much better after getting a tutor, but my current grade is still worrying me to no end. If they really do end school early, I might very well end up taking Chemistry for summer school and I don\u2019t say stuff like that lightly. My last experience with summer school was <em>painful<\/em>, and that\u2019s no exaggeration. There were tests and assignments every other day with no breaks in between. The second you blink, you\u2019ve likely missed at least a days worth of notes. And all this pain is from taking grade ten history, and I <em>like<\/em> history. I can\u2019t even imagine the pain of take grade eleven Chemistry for summer school, but I realistically might need to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting, Chemistry aside there\u2019s still all my other subjects. In English, we were going to do our book clubs after March break. However, with this whole Coronavirus crisis going on, our plans are now in limbo. On the bright side, we can at least read and that\u2019s what our teacher has asked us to do. The book I ended up reading is called Angela\u2019s Ashes, a story of a poor Irish family during the great depression and all the hardships they endured. I\u2019ll admit it\u2019s interesting and I would\u2019ve liked share my thoughts on the book with fellow classmates. However, that\u2019s a bit hard to do right now and it\u2019s a mystery to what will happen when we get back. In previous English classes, book club was always an essential part of the curriculum and I really hope they don\u2019t scrape it. I\u2019ve never been great at essays, and book club has always been a mark booster for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Media Art and Technology Design, our teacher\u2019s have at the very least given us some videos to watch. However, I think I\u2019m also going to begin doing some self study. In Technology Design we\u2019ll begin using Auto CAD and I\u2019ve never used the software before. Still, it would be nice to get some practice in before school hopefully starts up again. On the other hand, there is Media Arts. I\u2019ll probably look up some tutorials on Youtube for Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the foreseeable future will be pretty hectic. So far, the teachers haven\u2019t really posted anything on the google classrooms or EDSBY. Information on the current Coronavirus situation regarding school has been hazy at best. At this point, I don\u2019t even know if I\u2019ll still have a school year! In a funny turn of events, by writing this blog I\u2019ve come to realize I\u2019m more worried about my marks than my actual heath. However, that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m going to be a reckless spring breaker and I don\u2019t care about my health. Regardless, I hope this whole Coronavirus pandemic blows over soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you weren\u2019t aware of current events, the Coronavirus is taking the world by storm.
