Dear Diary,
Today is Friday, thank god. I cannot stand lessons. SO bullshit. They're so frustrating, and I know others agree with me. They have very little structure, not nearly as much as I need to thrive, they're taking away all the benefits (like anon questions), some teachers think the best course of action is to pile on way more hw than usual, and teachers all put their links to our Live Events (where we do our lectures) everywhere but where the other teachers are putting them.
Some kids like Online School ofc, but I would rather be in school. School means freedom, fresh air, my friends, not six feet apart, no more quarantine, happiness and normalcy. Most important, no more death and sickness.
Today, I realized something. I'm sure that others have noticed, and that it happens in every pandemic. There's a point in every crisis like this, one where we can flatten a curve, when it stop being a 'crazy thing!!' y'know? I know it sounds stupid, but this is for me to think on paper. It's not really "did you hear?? a woman in BC died because of corona!! dw tho, she was old and sick!" it's "86 more reported cases, 36 dead. we are hitting a grave milestone."
I hadn't noticed until today, when I was thinking back to march. I feel stupid, it seems obvious, I guess I just grew more and more desensitized.
Gen Zs have been through a lot. This pandemic, school shootings constantly, police brutality, bad news constantly surrounding us, being fed to us though technology, rise in terrorist attacks, homophobia, sexism, racism. This shit? wack.
But today was alright. Average. I got up, went to school,didnt do my assignments, scrolled on my phone. The days have totally melted together. I'm just living weekend to weekend, they move fast. April seems has to run away from me, but I'm not too surprised, the days are all the same. Not in a good way though. In regular school we had each other and we kept our days interesting. Our days were similar but happy. Now everything is the same.
I've hit another depressive episode oops. it's been a while tho, I guess I was overdue. Quarantine is hitting everyone hard.
in political news, Trump, the master of staying in the news and being a dumbass, has told Americans to "inject bleach, I mean it works on surfaces, right?" Then when faced with backlash said "it was a joke. sarcasm." But really? think about it. Telling the public to inject Lysol as a prank. A joke, during a fucking global pandemic. He was asked, "Mr. Trump, would you take responsibility if someone followed your advice and died?" He said no. I- who let this man be president? What the fuck? He was an actor. and they made him the president. I just hope the Americans make better decisions this November, Jesus Christ.
Sincerely,
Grindy
