Coping

What is something you’ve been putting off doing that you now suddenly have time for?

Now I have more time for exercise as I have most of the day free. Before I didn’t have much time in the afternoon and some days I had homework that took all afternoon.

What shows/movies have been helping you cope during this time?

Some movies that the bachi teacher recommended to understand some of the units better, in this way I can get better at this subject and start indirectly studying.

What is one small thing you are doing to bring a little joy or comfort into your day?

Watching old soccer games as there has been no games for a whole month and probably for the next months with all tournaments cancelled. This entertains me and brings joy as I missed watching soccer games or my favorite team play.

Work

How do you stay focused when studying from home?

I try to stay away from distractions which are a lot compared to school. I try to focus and think that I have less time than I actually do to complete an assignment, in this way I focus more by thinking I have to finish faster.

What is the most hilarious thing you’ve seen that distracted you from studying? Tell me about it or link it here. Why was it funny to you?

During one of the bachi classes I started playing video games with some classmates, so of course we were distracted and not paying attention. It was funny that we were connected on the Zoom and the video game at the same time.

If you had a mantra right now, what would it be? Why?

“We will come back stronger”. Right now most of the world is very affected and we aren’t able to do much. This phrase motivates me that it will be over sometime, hopefully soon, and when its over, everything will be much better.

Connection

Who do you see most now?

The person that I see the most now is my mom who is also at home all day with me.

What is the most annoying thing about that person?

It’s annoying that she is telling me to do things more constantly than when she wasn’t at home all day. It’s also annoying that during online classes she makes sure I’m actually studying or working, however this helps me to stay focused and work effectively.

What do you love about being stuck with that person/people?

Now my mom can cook lunch for me, which really works especially when we have online classes as the lunch break is 40 minutes and sometimes I didn’t have enough time to cook and eat during this time.
