Yup, I had two quarantines, one in China and another one in Korea. So, 28 days of quarantine in total! That’s a lot!

*Sighs* For someone who LOVES staying indoors, staying home for a month wasn’t even easy for me.  Well, here’s the BIG tip that will rescue you from the boredom- have a sibling & family member & pet you can talk or play with.

Though I don’t have any siblings, my cousins in Korea were really helpful.

If you have a sibling or a pet, play with them (even if you hate your sibling) :p

YES. WASH YOUR HANDS. This is a very important rule in a time like this. Regularly wash your hands (with soap, of course). Or, disinfect your hands with hand sanitizers. Oh, and don’t touch your face if your hands aren’t clean.

COVID‑19 is a new disease that spreads between people very efficiently and sustainably. easier than influenza but not as efficiently as measles—mainly when in close contact (two metres) most often small droplets produced during coughing sneezing or talking.

Because of the Corona Virus 🦠 We have to use the online class to have class.

I think when we are having online class we have more homework and i also think that having online class is very bad for our eyes.

Very surprisingly, I wasn’t able to return to Korea during the pandemic, which is still ongoing, which is pretty obvious. While I was in China, suffering through the boredom and laziness of the environment, all my friends were hanging out in Korea buying their BTS goods, FILA shoes and bags, and all of the trendy items in Korea. I was extremely disappointed at myself for not being able to be there in person. I would text my friends every day asking them how was Korea, and every single one of them said it was absolutely awesome. It felt like they were boasting, but I knew it was only because I was dying from the boredom of being stuck in my house and doing absolutely nothing. I mean, what can a normal 6th grader do in this ongoing pandemic? So when the COVID-19 spread through Korea, and all my friends were coming back to China, I still didn’t feel any better. I eventually felt better once I met one of my friends after 2-3 months of being stuck inside with no face-to-face communication. Eventually, our school opened and allowed students to attend school. When I met all of my friends, we screamed and hugged each other like we were 6-years olds. It was legitimately one of the happiest days in the past few years. But now, things aren’t getting any better. The pandemic still prevents me from being able to talk freely without a cloth covering 1/2 of my face, and to be able to touch each other without having the opposite person scream, “ CORONA VIRUS! DON’T TOUCH ME!”, and to walk around the school without being able to see tens of hand sanitisers placed on every single table I can find. The pandemic has effected and influenced many people and places. Which may be positive, and may be negative. However this pandemic has given me a new perspective of my life and my society. I do sound like an adult giving a speech, but I believe this is true. The COVID-19 is a complicated hurdle we can overcome together. 🤩🤩🤟PEACE✌️

People have been wearing surgical masks to protect themselves as well as others from the virus. However, there’s some news about that the masks are polluting the ocean and threatening the marine animals.
https://worldofbuzz.com/your-masks-are-polluting-the-ocean-marine-researchers-find-70-masks-along-100m-beach-stretch/

http://oceansasia.org/beach-mask-coronavirus/
Nearly 70 different types of used masks were found washed up on a shore in HongKong. Researchers have found out that if there was any coronavirus on the masks, it would pose a serious threat to the marine animals.

Correctly dispose your masks!

I’m baaacckkkk!
Thank you all for the posts, I especially appreciate Angela (Hatty) for kindly doing the first post, followed by Amelia, Alfie, Enzo, Shian, and Ian.

It’s been 4 weeks since school started, and we’re having PBL now, working on out Rube Goldberg Machine!

On the first week, I was sooooooo happy to see all of my friends again (and teachers) :)

On the second and third week of school though....
Summer started, and rain season started right away.

I’m feeling so gloomy and uncomfortable because of the hot and sticky weather outside....

Speaking of Summer, next week is summer holiday! I can’t believe it... We had a month of school and it’s another holiday.

Anyways, I’m turning Year 8 in September, and I’m actually turning thirteen on October!!!

Year 7 was so short, but I hope we can make it better next year.

Hi y'all.
COVID struck again.
It is currently April 2022, and COVID and its variants have struck shanghai again, and-i cant believe it either- we're back to online learning. So much has happened between the first and second wave of COVID. Obviously, the first wave was 2 years ago in 2020, and now, it's the "second wave".
Between 2020 and 2022, there were some drastic changes in my life. First off, I transitioned to another school, SAS. I miss people from YCIS so much. Also my padlet account uses my YCIS email address, so it's gotten a bit troublesome.
E-learning has become "distance learning (dl)" in SAS. I heard that YCIS is repeating the same things they did during the 2020 online classes, so I feel bad for them.
I think the second wave (2022) of COVID is much more serious than 2020. While we have experienced the lockdown and dl and all, but it's still hard. I've been in lockdown foor a month already, and we can't even leave our houses. It has also been confirmed that dl is going to continue till the end of this school year, so we have 2 more months of dl. Wow.
I literally despise dl from the bottom of my heart. DL is the WORST. I hate not being able to communicate with my friends face-to-face.
The government has actually been sending us food. We get a box of foods and necessary items every week, and it's pretty good. However, it's just very troublesome for my mom since she has to come up with new ideas for food recipes using these ingredients that they send us.
I've been face-timing my friends for a while now, but I stopped recently. I guess i forgot how to socialize lmaoo. But i miss my friends so much. I guess i won't be able to spend Amelia's bday with her.
I'll have to wait till August/September foor school to start, and by then I'd already be a high schooler. I'm too nervous. I mean, thoose 4 years of my life would most likely decide on where I'd be and what I'd do for the rest of my life. So yeah, I'm pretty nervous.
My mom and I have been talking if whether we should go to Korea, since we have 4 month till the start of real school. I don't really know, but it's true that I miss my cousins and families in korea.
I've also been binge watching soooo many tv shows and movies. Some good movies and tv shows that I watched are Semantic Error, Demon Slayer, Uncharted, and some kdrama.
I think I'll end my lil rant here. I guess this will be my last entry. (or not idk)
bye
