It's been pretty different, I mean i think that's that's a given but,
uh, I think we're all trying our best,
it's definitely easier to get burned out.
Um, not my favorite semester that i've been going through but, you know, pushing through.
It's been going pretty well, ummmm, not how i figured my last semester would go.
Before the pandemic, I was so busy always like having to do something or having to be somewhere,
but because the pandemic has given me so much time it's sort of forced me to check in with myself.
The semester's going, I think, better than anybody could expect. I'm teaching in person this semester
So, it's been great to get back into the classroom
and kind of have face-to-face interactions with students.
I've spent like a lot of time just like doing more, more things for my mental health,
just like exercising a lot more.
I've been trying to make the most of the situation, so i actually got into running,
which is something that I've hated for most of my life.
I understand why neighborhood moms go on walks with their squads. I'm completely
subscribed to it. I will be continuing it for the rest of my college career.
I like reading and sunbathing outside,
so just sitting in front of my dorm or coming here, just with a good book.
I think we've all just undergone like a lot of change through this pandemic in a good way,
I mean it's been really hard but positive, just a lot of like self-reflection.
And oftentimes we go go go go go, a thousand miles an hour and we
don't even have a chance to reflect on what we've seen and what we've done,
and we've had plenty of time to do that!
I'm ready for this to be over, don't get me wrong;
but it's really, really awesome that i'm learning to value things more.
It sounds cheesy, but everyone should keep in mind that,
you know, we're all, we're all in this together.
Recognize that you're not alone and that everyone is sort of struggling, but
we got it. We got it. Yeah.
