Hello everyone, welcome to another blog! Starting Monday, October 26th, I will be returning to school in person finally. It’s crazy to think that it’s been a whole seven (close to eight) months since I’ve had a full day of school in person. I’m not sure exactly what to expect. I wonder if I will adjust easily and feel like I never left, or if it will be like a completely different situation. I’m really excited to finally see people in-person and have life feel a little more normal once again.
Also, I’ve actually recently gotten to the point where I’m sick of virtual school. This is probably an unpopular opinion, but for a while, I was a supporter of online school and even preferred it. I have loved being able to attend school in the comfort of my own home, wake up later, and not have to worry about putting together a presentable outfit. However, it has had negative effects. For instance, I’ve found that it’s harder to focus, to start work earlier because of procrastination, and to go to sleep earlier. As a result, I’ve felt much more tired in general every day, and I feel like spending the day indoors most of the time, staring at a screen for hours on end is not healthy for me in the long run! Not to mention, the days have felt so repetitive, and I miss being able to leave my house more.
Therefore, I’m looking forward to starting school in person on Monday! For a couple reasons, I feel a little nervous because of the health risks, and, as mentioned earlier, I don’t really know what to expect. I’ve heard that a lot of people have preferred it to online school, though, so I think that’s definitely promising. Let me know in the comments your thoughts on in-person school versus online school and which one you like more! Also, if you’re in person, does school feel weirdly different at all or the same as before?
We are happy to have you back! :-) Being in person is one of those situations where you have to weigh what is best for you. I hope you will find it a better situation for you. The school is really trying to keep everything as safe as possible for all of us.
ReplyDeleteHi Dori, I completely agree that in online school it can be difficult to focus. Today I was online because I only had one class, and that class was mess. It is so nice to be able to talk to people in person, and being online can feel isolating. I hope you enjoy in person school!
