As the spreading of the pandemic, all my future plans have just been changed, delayed, or even canceled and I could not have any better solution to deal with. Everything now is getting worse. I have witnessed lose of lives, some of the working people have put their jobs on hold, schools have closed down and states have been put on lockdown. As a student, although I haven’t gotten a job, I feel that the pandemic has affected my study somewhat. My learning style has changed and I feel it’s harder to acquire knowledge because I couldn’t go to school, couldn’t communicate directly with my professors as usually, I did before this pandemic outbreaks. I really miss school and my friends.
During this hard time, I have a toothache. It is really hard to make an appointment with the dentist because most of them can not check me in. Moreover, my situation is getting worse so I need to see the dentist anyway. Finally, after many calls, I found a wonderful dentist in San Francisco that can help me. Then I had to remove four wisdom teeth. I bleed a lot on the first night after surgery. That really scared me. Fortunately, this situation improved the next morning, it took me about 2 weeks to recover, and I did not have any additional health problems during the isolation period.
Shelter-in-place seems to be easy but it really boring. I do not want to waste my time so I always tried to find something to do. In the first few weeks, I can still run or play tennis at the park. But when the parks were closed I only can play basketball in front of my house and workout indoor to keep me stay healthy. I also spend more time watching movies to improve my listening skill. I started to learn to cook new dishes. I was really happy when everyone like your food. However, I can not maintain these activities after a month because repetition makes me very depressed. So I decided to help my uncle to-do construction. We repainted his house, remade the cabinet, and changed the floor. These were a big job with us and it took nearly two weeks. Anyway, our hard work was paid off. I also had big trouble with my hair. I cut it two weeks before the outbreak of this pandemic. In the quarantine time, it seemed to be growing faster and made me feel really uncomfortable. I finally bought a new trimmer and cut my hair. It was a funny experience and everyone laughed at seeing my new hairstyle.
This pandemic brought out so many inconvenient things, I hope we can win this pandemic soon. I really miss my normal life.
