Well, all my courses have moved to online-only, which, under the circumstances, is perfectly reasonable.
And super annoying. I don’t learn well through online means. I don’t know why, but I really struggle with just being presented the information visually. Plus, I really love engaging with professors and TAs (and occasionally fellow classmates), and losing all that… sucks.
Flip side? I’ve written so much in the last 10 days… not enough, but way, way more than I expected to at the beginning of March. So we’re going to call that a win!
Still, these are definitely “interesting times” in the Chinese-curse sense (“May you live in Interesting Times”). A lot of people scared, concerned, financially threatened… I still feel guilty for how much work I’m getting done.
Now, if I could just sell the books I’ve written (or am writing!), things would be great! But I’m blessed, and so I’m not going to complain about a little hardship.
Tomorrow I may venture out early-ish to pick up a few more weeks of groceries. Did really well with the last run, should be able to get another few weeks worth of food without too many issues. Still have lots of staples, but running low on veg (aside from frozen spinach, which I have a metric tonne of) and fruit (a few bananas, but otherwise pretty low). Maybe pick up potatoes and bread… no, axe that, I’m going to get back into baking bread, so I don’t need to pick that up. Anyway, it’s a weird and wonderful time to be alive, despite the stress. Hope everyone is staying safe!
