As her parent, it was interesting to ask my daughter questions about the pandemic and hear her responses. As a family, we were really lucky to stay healthy and be able to spend a lot of extra time together. I've transcribed the interview in the attached Word file. -

Virtual Learning
I absolutely loathed virtual learning. I would wake up minutes before class started to get up from my bed, slap some clothes on last minute, and listen to class half asleep. I didn't really learn anything at all. The information would stay with me one day, then leave the next day. Learning Math and Chinese were excruciatingly terrible. I couldn't pay attention at all, and all of a sudden the teacher would ask a question and I would sit there not knowing the answer. While online school was the worst possible thing that school has done to me, there were a few pros to it. I could sleep in between classes, eat during class, watch tv during class. I could leave early, I didn't have to try as much. I liked online school when it was first announced in March until around May. Summer happened and we went back to online learning. I would have so many distractions that I couldn't get any homework done... The homework. The homework was one of the worst things about it if not the worst. They would give us mass amounts of work and then have the nerve to say "Have a nice weekend!", knowing good and well that I'd be doing work the whole time. It probably wasn't as much as I thought it was, but it sure seemed like a lot. The only thing I learned from online school was "Turn in assignments by 11:59 pm". So overall, the online school was terrible, nothing good came from it. -

Online Learning
My experience with remote learning was tough and hard. It was hard to stay focused while you're in your home theres so much stuff to do. Having no one to physically talk to or have lunch with is boring and it makes it harder to want to do school. School was already boring and hard but having no one around you to talk to you was even harder. -

virtual learning
My expiriance doing virtual learning is I wake up at 7:30, eat breakfast and then sit at my desk and do school. its a bit harder to pay attention but if you try hard you get used to it. It gives you more independence which is good. Overall I didn't quite enjoy online school but I'm happy its over. -

virtual learning
it was march 18th we started online school. none of knew what we were doing we just logged onto zoom. it was confusing because we didn't know what to do if we had ask a questions or if we had to go to the bathroom. I think my favorite thing from online school was defiantly getting to make my own lunch. I had sat at my dining room table just doing school work. it was hard for teachers to find stuff for us to do like in rocketry we just watch movies.i finally went back to school and started in person. one of my favorite things was waking up at 7:50 and going to school at 8. and that was my virtual learning experience. -

Australian Health Worker quote on managing patient load
We're quickly trying to push patients out that could go to the ward so that we can get more patients in. This is hard work for us. Quote from Female aged 42, Intensive Care Nurse. Image created by the Health Worker Voices project: https://mspgh.unimelb.edu.au/healthworkervoices -

One of Those Days
I am actually suffering in this pandemic. Absolutely nothing has meaning anymore. -

My day inside
I find time is hard to past by these days. My sleep schedule has changed drastically ever since we were given stay at home orders. I usually start my day at around 10 am and then end it by 3 am. The time in between is quite monotonous and I am really looking forward to the orders being lifted. So my day starts and I grab something to eat. I then login to my live lectures which are all day. I listen, or at least try to, take notes, and then do some homework. Often now I have to re watch lectures to understand the material since when I watch it live I am not really paying attention. I then study and get ready for the day. I try my best to remain in contact with my friends but it is not the same anymore. The only interaction I usually have is getting help on an assignment or us figuring out how to complete a task that we have been assigned. Once my classes are done I usually eat again and then try and exercise. Normally when I am on campus I am able to get a lot of walking done, but now since we are inside, I need to be active. So after I decide to exercise , I unwind a bit and then have dinner. Everyday I have to make something since I do not want to get food from outside. Cooking has been the one part that is different, since I try to make something new every day. I then eat and study some more. I find myself productive for whatever reason that may be. Usually I have to really try and focus to get work done because it is really distracting being at home. Something about being at home just does not make me feel like working. Nevertheless, I am able to study and continue to catch up on the material. This routine is quite monotonous at this point. It has been roughly 8 weeks like this and it is starting to get tiring. I know change to the stay at home orders is coming, and I can not wait for it. I am thankful that my semester ends soon so that way there will be some change to my routine. 8 weeks of the same thing every day is quite a drag on life and I look forward to the changes. I really hope the Fall wont have a second wave leading to life like this again! -
