How did Mrs. Rona ruin your life/plans?

Recommended Posts

I'm quite curious, bc it looks like the virus is here to stay and I'm just now realizing how much this will impact mine.

 

Tldr:

-I was going to move this summer

- job involves travel, so jobless

-probably can't go home, bc of restricted travel

 

What about you?

I was in the middle of end of term exams for uni. Now I have to do all my tests online. Have you tried doing a maths test online?? Because let me tell you, the online maths exams hate humanity with the passion of a rogue AI in a disaster movie.

Well, I have barely been outside in two weeks, so there's that.

Had to up and move back home at my parents request since there was a chance of the border closing and my family didn't want to get separated. Finding a summer job will be difficult since everything shut down which means I have no money to pay for my apartment. All of my exams and assignments got moved online and my profs somehow managed to get everything due at the same time so I'm stressed out of my mind since they're all large assignments.

It's delaying my Canada immigration because I can't get the medical exams I need, but I still get to stay in Canada in the meantime so it's not like that means anything.

 

Other than that, it's pretty much unaffected.

Not sure yet. It screwed up my travel plans with my Mom and Sis. Didn't ruin them exactly, but I wish we were able to do more with their potentially only time in Japan. 

 

But the Olympics were delayed, so I'm wondering how that'll impact me going forward. I'm scheduled to leave in August and the Olympics made our replacements be pushed off a month to avoid insane travel costs and hotel issues. But since the Olympics were postponed, our replacements may show up at their normal time. Which would actually make things slightly easier for a transition since we wouldn't have the confusion of if my apartment can be left vacant for a month without the landord getting rid of all the stuff previous ALTs have left. 

So maybe it improved things? 

 

Also, I may be able to travel to Aoikigahara this summer if the Olympics crowds won't be there. It's the only thing I've wanted to do since getting here that I haven't done. But I can only go in summer and was busy last year, and this year was supposed to be the Olympics.

 

So if everything works out, it actually improved things for me.

It's at the university I'm most likely going to, so I don't know if I can go during the summer to start meeting with a gender therapist there

 

All of my exams are canceled and I don't know if they're going to try to grade us without the exam scores or if I'll be repeating a year

 

My relatives most likely won't be able to come for graduation because there might not be one

 

I'm at home all day with my emotionally abusive mother and my loud af niece

 

I'm getting even more depressed wasting away in this stupid apartment and can't really practice much dancing like I'd want because there's hardly any space

With the exception of financial troubles, which have prompted that banks give a break of 3 months in loans, it hasn't changed much of my daily routine outside work. Hopefully it will give me at least 2 months to either get back on my feet or find an additional job. If I could do it from home all the better but uhh I'm not well versed in that area.

I'm pretty fortunate, to be honest, because only a few things have been altered in my life. The one thing I'm anxious about is my job and how the virus is affecting that. We're considered "essential," but traffic is slow, and a lot of people are having their hours cut to reduce labor when they need a job the most. :(

 

Another thing is, I had plans to travel with my boyfriend this summer, and that might or might not happen, depending on how things go. I'm also trying to move out of my apartment because my lease ends in May, and all of the shutdowns have made things really complicated.

 

My gym is closed, and that was my form of therapy, so I'm back to running outside. I'm worried that my eating disorder might come back if I end up getting quarantined and/or lose my job. My anxiety is also spiking really badly and I find myself on the verge of an anxiety attack most of the time.

No football and no visiting Homertown or other friends. That's it, basically.

I’ll likely be sent home soon, and I’ll either have to pay extra for faster internet so I can work from home, or not work but all my PTO time gets used up and I end up even more behind on my work.

 

Oh and of course all the mandated stay at home stuff had to happen right when I decided I wanted to get out of my house more...

Same for me...the first time in decades I actually want and need to be around people and a worldwide pandemic comes along and is all "No sir, not today, your plans are canceled." Oh, the bitter irony.

I study and work from home, so it hasn't changed very much so far. My workload has decreased a bit, but I'm glad that at least I still have work to do. What bothers me the most is the fact that, before "Mrs Rona", I was trying to find a new psychologist so I could make an appointment and get my life together. I've considered giving online therapy a try, but I don't have much privacy and I worry that other people will be able to hear what I say. So I guess I'll be forced to postpone it again. -_-

Currently 11 events I'm supposed to have attended are cancelled 

 

I'm trading at a loss of £100 per week, which I can only sustain for so long. This is not aiding and abetting restful sleep. 

 

I can't see the person I want to see the most

This.

I don't know, I don't really have friends anyway.  I still have my min. wage job for now.  Life continues more or less as normal, though I am a little worried about obtaining certain items from the store.  Eh....

I started the process of getting diagnoses with Ehlers Danlos syndrome and now I have to talk to my medical professionals and gather material to sent to the specialists. But I think they've all got too much to do rn to do archival work.

I have two new flatmates and they've brougt furniture here but didn't finally move in yet and I can't get a plan out of them.

Restricted travel, shopping plans cancelled, can't visit my parents, factory closed so I can't work (thankfully I'm being paid from the unemployment service - 70% of my salary, it's better than nothing). Can't meet with my friends. I was also supposed to have a meetup with my classmates for mutual studying, of course it had to be cancelled.

The garden centres are all shut. Unless they reopen in the next few weeks there's going to be a shortage of home grown veg

Now I have to do college classes online, which I hate. Online does not replicate the feelings and functions of class. Maybe if one is in a massive class that is math or computer coding, or something of that nature, but a humanities class of 10 people mostly concerned with discussion does not translate well to online format.

 

I was going to study abroad in Ireland for archaeology over the summer, but that was cancelled.

I can't say that I've suffered a lot unlike others so I'm pretty fortunate! But a lot of my plans got cancelled: I was gonna go to the concert for the first time in my life and was really exited to do so, I was dreaming about some travelling inside my country with friends (I've never done anything like this before either), my courses that help me in a lot of ways (getting rid of my anxieties, practicing English etc.) got cancelled. Also I really wanted to finally walk outside when it gets warmer (because in winter, due to unpleasant weather, I mostly sat at home, except for road to the courses) and now I haven't been outside at all more than three weeks 😂. And I'm gonna celebrate my Birthday which is in a few days in Discord instead of some quest room or anticafe 😅 Well, at least I have the internet, knock on wood 😄

My mum don't have a job now because of quarantine (I'll probably try to help her work online although I'm not sure if it'll work out). Also I wanted to buy my grandma a book as a present for her Birthday and celebrate together but now we can't see each other, uh...

But despite all of this my situation is quite great and I can't complain. Besides I'm an introvert so I'm quite okay with this whole social distancing unlike others. I have my books, games, movies and series, and I can talk to my friends online.

It's just a pretty bad timing because my whole life I sat at home and was totally fine with it and now when I finally had some plans and opportunities... 😂 Quite ironic, you know 😄

Lots of friends I can't visit (just moved back from abroad, so had a whole plan of meetings and reunions, but that's out of the window for now), can't really see my parents, even though we're in the same country now, and I started a new job a few weeks ago, but my field may take an extra blow, so I'm not sure for how long I'll actually have the job (the job insecurity would've been the same at my old job though, so the only difference is that I'll be in that situation in my home country rather than abroad)

I was planning on taking some science prerequisites for grad school but if this doesn't clear up soon, i might have to have an option b which i still don't really know what that is yet. 

 

I also wanted to get my permit but the dmv is closed so now i gotta wait until this dies down which sucks bc i wanted to be driving once summer comes around.

 

Yeah i definitely need to have an idea of what i want to do in life but nothing really makes me happy ugh

My long-distance boyfriend and I were going to go to Toronto over my spring break and see Hamilton. That was canceled at the last minute. I was supposed to graduate from nursing school in May but they decided to do six weeks in two so that we could graduate sooner and enter the workforce. Those two weeks were hellacious. We've had to cancel our graduation ceremony which I'm disappointed about. My grandparents 70th wedding anniversary is this June. We were all going to go to Chicago for a week to visit family and celebrate. I really don't think that's going to happen. 

 

One positive thing did come out of covid-19 for me. I accepted a job in Fort Wayne, IN about a month ago and started apartment hunting. I emailed landlords explaining that I was coming from out of town and probably wouldn't be able to visit before moving there, and they all responded that they don't really like renting to someone who hasn't had a tour. Now all those apartments have switched to online tours, and I'm not getting any pushback.

My business collapsed.  We're reliant on either a: seeing clients in their homes, or b: people going abroad.

 

We walk/board dogs.  No work now, except doing vital ones for housebound/disabled clients and nursing staff.  Easter is supposed to be our second busiest period and we've got zero bookings for months.

My workload went into double time since both my jobs are classified as essential services. My plan for this year was to clear my property out, park my motorhome and build the exterior shell around it, which was going to be difficult to do since I worked seven days a week before the cooties hit anyway. Basically, nothing's changed much with the addition of being on the front lines to catch the cooties, which would probably give me a holiday to work on my own stuff.

My senior year of high school. Have only been able to see my girlfriend once in about a month, no prom, alone for my 18th birthday, and a few other things. I got license 2 weeks before my area started social distancing, and that second week was spring break. I may miss graduation for my school, but that was something that I wasn’t looking forward to.

 

Currently this is making me rethink my college plans for next year.
