During virtual learning I learned a lot of different things. At first it was hard to pay attention, learn and just sit still for 80 minute classes on a computer. I was so used to shorter classes that would be done in a snap, but that changed quickly. I slowly started liking online school more and more. My schedule was usually waking up 5 minutes before class and setting up to learn. Then during break and lunch I could eat whatever I wanted and I got to go on my phone. I liked online because I have a lake house and we could go up there whenever we wanted. Now that we are back in person school I am definitely having an easier time learning but its hard waking up in the morning and sitting still for so so long. But I love seeing people and getting to socialize with people. Although sometimes I switch back to zoom for a day because school is very tiring and draining.
