Hello humans,
Today is Monday 22nd February and it has been announced that we are definitely going back to school in two weeks time. Let’s just say I’m not thrilled. For one, I don’t think its a good idea to rush back all at once, of course the cases will go up and once again young people will be blamed.
Another reason I’m dreading going back is that its been so long since I’ve been in. The last time I was in was Friday 18th December 2020 and I’ll be back in 8th March 2021 - which is a really long time and for the longest time having any time off school caused a lot of anxiety.
As soon as it was confirmed that schools would open in two weeks time I felt nothing but complete and utter dread. I love college and my classes are great so I know this fear is irrational but I think it comes back to my past issues with school and how important structure and routine is.
In person school is also so much more draining and takes so much more time. In lockdown, I have been so productive, logging off from my live lesson and joining extra classes or getting my homework done straight away.
See you next time,
