My View of 2020

From January to March: The first two months were fine, felt shattered because my underage girlfriend broke up with me, things seem to be fine, but in the middle of March, things got shaky when COVID-19 enters the Philippines.

From March to September: Summer vacation? Well, in my opinion, it wasn't a vacation at all. It's a quarantine vacation, but I did enjoy watching Netflix, such as House of Cards, Designated Survivor, both American and Korean versions, and other Netflix movies and television series. In August, my first time to go out, along with my family. In July, I got enrolled and learned to delve into online learning experience, using Microsoft 365 tools and other tools that were used for education, even Zoom.

From September to December: Online classes. MS Teams is cool. Zoom is cool. Currently watching The Crown and Suits in Netflix, experiencing things imperfectly, mental health problems more likely, tensions within the family rare. Occassionally going out, helping my mom in groceries and other stuff.

I think 2020 is a year that reminds all of us that we should all be aware of what will happen to us, present and in the future. I don't think it's a bad year, but it's a year that prompts all of us to take a break from using our cars to drive to somewhere else, et cetera, etc.

But here in my country, I feel disgusted when issues ramp up in the political and social arena. Feeling irritated about the way my country's government behaves and works.

Last day of quarantine today...I’d rather get COVID 19 again over the flu.

2020 hasn't been terrible for me. No one I know has contracted COVID, so that's pretty good. School sucks a bit more than usual but that's fine I guess.

I know this is unrelated; but, why not make school accessible in a 24-hour timeframe? People need to stop making school so horrible, and the 24-hour timeframe will be a great start.

Do NOT imply COVID is less severe than the flu. It is way more severe than the flu. Also, if you aren't already, please wear a mask when you go outside. Keep a distance from other people by 6 feet or more. By wearing a mask and social distancing, you are not only improving the safety of yourself, but you are also improving the safety of others around you.

that sounds like something a masochist would saywhat do you mean exactly

Sorry, I meant that online school should not have classes at a definite time (ex: Math at 9:00-10:00, English at 10:00-11:00). For me, personally, it's too much structure that prevents me from doing things more efficiently.

the problem with that is that it leaves the door open for people to be confused and not know what to do

I don't know what school system everyone else has, but mine uses stuff like Google Classroom. The assignments come in, and then I do them before the due date. Removing the timeframes would cut my school day in half.

This to be honest. I liked the class I had this semester that had some hard deadlines for assignments, but was self-paced for notes.

Yeah, and you know what the teachers do next? They post their notes on video as soon as we are done with class. The whole thing is just dumb.
