This pandemic has been quite uneventful for me compared to most others. I have been kept updated about the situation back home in Bangladesh, where the coronavirus is getting steadily worse and is expected to peak around September. I am stressed about my family and if they are doing well. Over here in Canada, I am busy with making music with my friends, and trying to stay safe during these confusing times.

One thing I hate most about having to deal with in this pandemic is the lack of social life that we have here. The dining hall in residences doesn't allow dining inside anymore, and that was one of my favorite places to study and loiter. The number of people in residences have also decreased drastically, and the amount of people I meet now in residence has also decreased. I see the same faces every day, and we have the same discussions every time. Nothing is moving forward, and I feel like the world is in a standstill.

Much of the people in my country have taken their home to the internet, where they share their opinions on things like Black Lives Matter and several internal issues within friend circles, sparking drama and controversy mainly due to the fact that none of them have anything else to do besides rant.

I am not much of an outgoing or social person generally speaking, so quarantine has not been that hard on me. I prefer to stay in my own zone, however, not being able to live with the freedom of drinking coffee inside a goddamn Tim Hortons can sometimes get to me.

This Pandemic was not so good to me in its initial phase, I had to cancel my trip to bneff with my friends. Also, had to cancel ever bookings of that trip. Then I had to quit my job to be safe which made me in self quarantine. Staying at home makes me so bored to keep myself going I started exploring new software watched uncountable movies and web series that also affected my sleeping routine. once Fic get started, I got slightly back to my daily routine and as of now i see people getting use to pandemic and keep going on. Recently, decided to join my job again and fully get back to previous routine of activeness.

After learning from CA135, I feel like this course is my favorite already. It is completely different from the other courses because and can still relax and still can learn new knowledge. Moreover,  I really love watching to new films, now it has become one of my hobbies.
In this class, till now, I have gained pretty much information about cinema. In my country, working in a cinema is quite exciting and this course helps me a lot. Now, I can a little bit analyze a movie while watching it, not just simply  enjoy the content of the movie.

I have been staying in Canada for about 6 months now that is when I arrived here. I was working at a place called 9Rounds which trains people how to do kickboxing and it was fun while it lasted until Mrs Corona came into the picture and I got a lay of notice. Ever since Mrs Corona I have just been doing what I love which is gaming watching movies as well as drawing.
I have also been learning new skills such as photography and also trying to learn how to play the guitar. The most annoying thing is that I am not able to go to the gym and do all the weight lifting that I want, but that is fine  because I guess I can jog out side.
what I started to mostly notice is that my eating pattern was not as good as it was when there was no corona, I have started to fix my eating pattern now so I am feeling much better now.
I have grown during this time though and matured even more than I was, and way more responsible.

This is a complex question for me. It is hard to find an exact word  to describe the experience during this period of time. My home is in Hubei which is the first province to find out the  pandemic in China. During that period of time, I was in Canada but I'm very nervous about my family. I viewed the news everyday and told my family to take precautions.
The most impressive thing for me is the daily news during that period of time.  Wuhan has been hit hardest, and all of Chinese people were caring about citizens in Wuhan, Hubei. The news include the doctors at the front, shortage of the N95 masks,  the Red Cross donation, a lot of fresh fruit and produce is slow-moving ... ...And the government announced to shut down the country during the Spring Festival.
During this time, I stayed at home and read a lot of novels... ...
All in all, I think the most important thing is  safety and health.

I moved to a new city and met new friends, although in isolation.  We can still promote relationships by chatting online and occasionally going out for exercise.(Edwin Guo)

It is the anniversary of the protest in Hong Kong. As a Hongkonger, before the protest started, I don’t think Hong Kong is a beautiful city, but from June 9, 2019. I found that Hong Kong is the most beautiful city in which I have been visited. The most beautiful is not the landscape of Hong Kong, it is the citizen, is their kind-heart. I am proud to be one of the Hongkongers. Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong

To be honest, this whole situation has been really overwhelming, even though I’m not in China when the worst is happening, I’ve seen quite a lot of both worlds. I feel like the pandemic really changed some parts of me, I will never see some thing the same ever again. Let’s just say I’m deeply disappointed in humanity haha. Plus It’s been quite complicated considering my identity, I even encountered racism in Metrotown.

One thing I’ve realized is some conflicts caused by misinformation just can’t be solved, they’re just gonna get worse. People really can’t understand each other, not to mention empathy. In the end, the truth may even not matter.

This is not the right place to talk about serious issues, so I’m gonna talk about myself. Fortunately everyone I know is healthy, my hometown is quite safe the whole time too. And the quarantine hasn’t been hard for me, since my lifestyle was always quite similar. Additionally, I find it really peaceful to me. I enjoy that everything was slowing down, and the idea that most of the world was forced to stop. I don’t know how to explain it. But on the other hand, I’ve spend too much time being angry and sad about everything that’s going on on the Internet; being extremely stressed about my loved ones and mine own safety; being completely overwhelmed that I can’t talk to a single person about my real feelings. Despite of these emotions, I enjoyed the peaceful time of quarantine.

I let myself slow down too. I didn’t think about picking up a new hobby or doing more work during quarantine, I just wanted to try to stay a normal state of mind. I still haven’t figured out how to feel about this sudden change, I tend to not think about it too often. I don’t have any photos since I was just sitting in my room everyday, nothing new. If one thing that is I tried to improve my cooking ability but failed significantly.

This brainstorming is really just me writing down all the mess in my head, I apologize to anyone that reads this.

The relationship between roommates is closer, but at the same time there are some argument.When I go out, I find few people come outside. I watched some series and films this period. But sometimes I feel bored at home, I will walk in the community. The way to communicate with friends and take courses becomes online.I had wanted to go back to China some time ago and had a quarrel with my mother because of this, although I could get what I wanted after a while. My uncle and aunt are very helpful here and take care of me.

During these months, I like to go to the Deer Lake to have a rest in the morning. Sometimes, I jog with my friends. Sometimes, I sit there watching people walking by. The weather is mostly quite good. With the COVID-19, I prefer to go to somewhere with fresh air and natural scenes with my friends.

During the quarantine, I realize that staying at home is not only the time for me to relax after a hard-working semester but it is also a chance to discover myself. I can spend a lot of time doing new things that I never tried before: baking, dancing, learning a new language, etc. Except for the messy daily schedule I created, I think I enjoyed this quarantine time (unlike anybody else). However, because of the pandemic, I cannot go back to my country since every flight has been canceled. I want to visit my family and friends but I don't think I can make it :( . I hope the pandemic will end soon and everybody will be saved!

I experienced the epidemic for the first time(needing to be quarantined at home). At first I was very irritable . It broke all my plants and my airplane tickets are also be canceled, which made me unable to go anywhere at home. But then I fund that the rhythm of life slow down. I woke up in the morning, made up a cup of coffee, wrapped my body in a quilt and sat on the sofa near the balcony with the computer in front of me, sometimes studying on the zoom sometimes watching films. When the weather is good, I will move the chair on the balcony, holding a book in my hand, watching the sun jump on the pages, quiet and beautiful. Recall that I woke up early in the past and sat on the bus for an hour, listening to the roar of the engine, my heart was not quiet. I was walking through the crowds at school. Although the epidemic is a bad thing, I can use this form, slow down the pace of life, and began to enjoy life.

This quarantine has been a whirlwind of different emotions for me.
I have really learnt alot about my self during this time, and how much the world affects my moods and just how i carry myself. Im discovering who I am.
However the flip side to that is that I've had to deal with breakdowns with not being able to be with my parents during this difficult time.
The ugly is that brazil gets worse and worse with covid-19 cases and it is affect all my family and it's sad to say I will not be able to visit them for another year.
The beautiful is that mother earth is feeling better again, i keep getting pictures and videos of things like smog has vanished.
Ive enjoyed learning how to cook new things, and working out more and just enjoying each day as it is.
It has made me crazy, that I can hug and laugh with my friends with ease anymore, I feel on edge about everything.
I think my own well being has become unimportant to me in terms that Im more worried about  other peoples feelings rather than my own. Also the need to get dressed everyday has become unimportant to me haha!
I took running as a new hobby, and have been doing it everyday.
I've been relying alot on my boyfriend and his family, as they are  my family here and I live with them. But at the same time they rely on me as well.
Health and safety has become so important for me now, that I call all my love ones every week if possible. Just to show how much I love them, and everyday is not promised.
Every dinner time has felt really significant as we always eat dinner together, it's nice and significant to have that moment of unity and having someone to talk to.
Ive realized that I am my own boss, as before I use to think I was quite lazy but Ive realized I am able to keep myself to schedule and follow through. Very cool discovery about myself.

I was in Canada a month ago and when I was back there, I'd notice that there wasn't being a lot of social distancing in Canada. I was hearing what was happening in Mexico how It was obligatory to use a face mask and in Canada the only measurements were the two meters apart from anyone and no cash in liquor and other stores. Since was getting really difficult the best decision was going back my country and study online. This is a completely new way of learning for me and being honest is not good for me but im trying. Even though I don't like as much this online learning I have to admit there are some advantages of learning at home. Due to the fact that I love music one of many is that I get a lot more time to practice my music or even just listening to it. Other one is the food, im not saying that in Canada I didn't eat tasty but I was grown in Mexico so all the food that I love I have it on my reach and I don't know basically those to things, I been having a lot of time to think, imagine and create lot of new themes for projects that I have in mind. I'm finding again that light that I need through music.

Besides being an international student, i am a writer and exploring myself in music. so last few months being in a pandemic have been really difficult but, i personally have had a great experience as I've been doing great as a writer, I've had much more time to myself and exploring the musician side I've been making many songs lately.
at some points it has been boring too but, the overall experience for staying locked in a house has not been that bad.
i hope everything gets back to normal soon.

During this epidemic time, I bought lots of LEGO sets, as I said in the "coffee shop" I love play lego and I think is a good way to spend free time. And I also have time to stay with my family and meet old friends.

Only after the pandemic started did I realise how much I enjoyed being in the outside world. Sleeping twenty-three hours a day is nice, but it doesn't compare to the art gallery, private library, downtown alleys, the 70s beauty salon and that one restaurant-- all these places that I would visit weekly alone with a sense of adventure. Being at home made me push thoughts of cameras and makeup (aka work) to the back of my head, which highlighted the things that I didn't know mattered to me as much as they did. Books and music became important to me again. I finally learnt how to use a washing machine. I started college. All of this has taught me that no matter what kind of situations we get thrown into, there will always be something to make out of it that helps us discover-- or re-discover-- a part of ourselves. (I will admit, though, that this stay-at-home situation would be perfect if I was living alone and not sharing a house with nine other people. I don't like this at all.)

Place that feels generally significant to me:

Downtown Vancouver.

This is the place I mostly want to visit after the lockdown because of the COVD-19. It used to be our school trip destination. It brings me memories of school trip when I was in high school in Victoria. It also reminds me of old friend and classmates. Now it is the place that I work, the place I got my car and the place I bought liquor for bartending.

The Pandemic has disturbed my schedule (cannot follow proper diet, gym are closed, become lazy, sleep more). On other side, it also gives me more time to spend with room mates, learning new software, studying more, playing chess with friends, editing videos in free time, also there is no worries about waking up early to go to college. I try to keep myself busy by doing grocery shopping 1 day a week, listening songs, increasing my skills of editing videos, doing job 3 days a week. Other than all these things, I miss my friends and family but I try to keep in touch by doing videos calls.

Hope, everything comes back to normal..

In the past few months,：
celebrate birthday alone, sleep more than 10 hours a day, having a nice tea in the back garden to read books,  to have online class by using Zoom,  went to the supermarket crazy sweep goods, clean up the room, learn to make coffee, buy takeaway, home fitness, baked cakes, grab masks, watch a lot of movies and TV shows, participate in church parties with Zoom.  I Miss school, gym, shopping malls, family, teachers, and friends. I always ignore the study, contact with friends, the date of submission of homework, and eating breakfast. Living a decadent life every day, doing nothing, sleeping naturally to wake up every day, eating irregularly, irregular work, and rest .

This is a place I tend to visit a lot during quarantine and generally whenever I need to think. It brings me peace because of the sound of the water, and sometimes I can hear children's laughter. When this happens I can't help but smile. It reminds me of home. Family has been a lot on my mind ever since the lockdown happened, I started appreciating the little moments more and putting more effort in the relationship to make them smile so much that they get tired of it. The worst part about isolation is being on the other side of the world, so far away from the people I truly love, my parents and my noisy siblings. Loneliness makes me go a little crazy and depresses me quite a lot lately. My only hope is to see my family again in a couple of weeks.
Overall, the recent events that have been happening since the beginning of 2020 are heartbreaking and sadden me too often. However, I try to find a positive side to it. All these awful things are not new, they definitely are worse but it seems like God wants us to notice the problems and start uniting in order to achieve results that will benefit our planet and not just us. Unity is what I think it is all about. Unity in families, nations, countries, continents and the unity of the world. Hopefully, we can all come together to help one another in these hard times.

Being with my family during the hard times, night talks with friends when I was still living in dorms, beautiful sunset at the Burnaby Mountain Park, movie nights and appreciating the time with my family, long car rides with the music and singing, lack of motivation for the courses, lonely nights and overthinking, feeling clueless and not knowing what is coming next, being anxious around other people, one week of travel to return back home, finally returning home and being really happy after you have not being feeling yourself lately, knitting and learning French, watching good movies, being more understanding for the friends, noticing the beauty of nature, too much information on media and sometimes it just makes you feel crazy, family walks, endless lines in food markets, wearing masks and gloves everywhere and it became strange not to do it, washing your hands all the time, loosing bonds with really close to you people but then realizing that it was for the best, realizing who really cares about you, little interactions and small talks with strangers is the best feeling in the world now, just really grateful that right now everything is much better even if everything in the world is overwhelming now, there is a photo of my piano and some flowers because every little detail matter now.

Working from home (remote teaching), Gardening (photo series), Walking my fogs in the forest by UBC, Caring for my home, Grocery shopping line-ups, masks and gloves, one way aisles in stores. Meeting in parks to sit amongst friends and placing our lawn chairs 2m away, Eating beautiful meals with my husband, Caring for family and friends by calling, zooming, bringing groceries... What fell away was any interest in retail (shopping), dressing up, and caring (even less) about social media "influencers". What became important was dear ones. Also noticing and valuing people who actually DO important work - the essentials. (Banging on pots at 7pm with neighbours who feel the same.) I love how everything has slowed down and people feel less obliged to do things they don't want to do.
