The COVID-19 Experience of a High School Student

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

The two objects I have chosen are two ideas/ actual things that I have mainly been focusing on during this pandemic. I found these images on google, but they represent much more to me.

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

I chose an image of a clock and of a student working. If there is one thing I have learned during this pandemic, it is that I have a lot of time. I have been utilizing this time to exercise more, study for longer periods of time and also just to enjoy myself. The image of the student represents the amount of work that I have had to do online. School has been completely different with the online work rather than going to school five days a week in real life. These two items represent two of the most important factors of my pandemic experience.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
