It all started late last year which was 2019, it wasn't in America so I didn't think it would affect me. However, in the month of March it started to and I don't think anyone expected the events that followed. While attending school in Tampa I decide to look at the news and see if anyone had the virus in my area. It turns out that there were two cases not so far from where I stayed at but I didn't worry at first since it was almost spring break. During spring break everything went downhill, I was supposed to leave the following Sunday but the school decided to discontinue face to face interactions. I thought this would be easy at first but I'm slowly starting to hate it, I've always liked staying at home until this happened. I can't go out with my friends and I can't see my family, my girlfriend lives in Tampa and I can't even travel to see her anymore.
This virus has made people go mad and it has barely been two weeks yet. I've been going to sleep late and waking up early. My usual day consists of class, homework, playing video games, watching YouTube, eating, FaceTime, sleeping, and repeat. I might go insane with this but at least it keeps me busy and not bored. They say we might be stuck in our homes for weeks and I hope that's not the case, I miss seeing my girlfriend and driving around. My mom makes me sterilize everything that has come in contact with the outside world but she's worried for a good reason, my dad has always been prone to sickness and she's doing everything she can to protect him. I work from my office area in my house and an old project of mine is sitting on my desk, this project is a house in cube form and there are multiple exits but if you choose to leave you're still in danger because there is no safe way to exit. The cube is black emphasizing the feeling of being trapped and every time I look at it I just feel like it relates to this situation so much. That's all I have for now but hopefully I don't go completely insane during these next weeks.
