almost June, 2020

So, I had forgotten that I posted here a couple months ago, at the end of Term 3. I wrote a bit about today being the last day of school during the pandemic, but that's not quite accurate--at least, not for most high school teachers where I work.

This term has flown by. Week after week, trying to help my students improve their writing and just get their work done... it has been intense. I know there is more I wish I could have done.

There were days of depression too. The first round of adjusting to living in the world which was suffering from COVID-19 involved grieving for people in the city of Wuhan, and also dealing with the fear of coming down with the virus. But then as April came around, things startted getting worse in other parts of the world. Italy, Spain, the UK, and the US (among other places too, of course).

This was another wave of grief, but not one equally felt by people who aren't from one of those countries. So that was hard.
