So with the whole world going crazy, I was wondering how all you are doing, and how you are using your time at home.
When the whole social distancing thing was announced here in the UK last week, I was actually volunteering in Cambodia as part of my gap year. I was supposed to spend 8 weeks there and 5 months away from home in Total (with Vietnam, Australia and New Zealand on my list) but after some discussions with my parents and information from government websites decided it was best I came home ASAP. And good thing I did, because two days later the country went on total lockdown. Some of the people I was travelling with are now stuck out in SEA.
Anyway, Iām using my time at home to work on things Iāve wanted to for some time:
-
Iāve picked up my writing again, Iām working on a longer novel rather than just short stories, Iāll probably keep you all updated on that.
-
Iām doing home workouts again, something I had given up mainly because I started going to the climbing gym more often, but canāt do that now
-
I also try to go out for a run at 7 every morning, weāre recommended to not go out the house more than once a day, and avoid all contact. Iām lucky enough to have a large private area of land around my house which I can more or less run the perimeter of (difficult where itās forested and steep.
-
Iāve also started learning Norwegian on Duolingo, just doing a little every day, something Iāve wanted to do for some time.
-
Other than that, in my free time Iāve been reading (currently the Dune series), drawing, trying to rank up in games like Vainglory and Splatoon (both of which arenāt particularly active games any more but yāknow), and playing my saxophone when I get bored. Oh, and helping my younger siblings out with their schoolwork.
-
Trying to arrange online English teaching, to earn some money while Iām stuck at home, as itās one thing Iām qualified to do.
I find it helps to have a list of things to do like this otherwise I end up sitting around watching shit on Youtube all day. Other than what Iāve listed, Iāve been wanting to start teaching myself guitar again (something I gave up on a while ago) but havenāt got round to that yet.
Iād love to hear how all you are doing, and what youāve been up to.
Edit: Welp this idiot didnāt realise there was already a topic for thisā¦ (I swear I even checked). Also added something Iād forgotten to the list of things Iām doingā¦
