Since the city has been on lockdown, not only has schools shut down but jobs have too, including mine. Restaurants and bars have been subject to transition into takeout and delivery services only. Although I did work in takeout, I still have not been put on the schedule for work. There is a 10 people capacity in restaurants, 5 workers and 5 customer or delivery drivers. This has caused me to file for unemployment, which I have not done so yet because the page crashes due to high activity and I have to start over. Quarantine has also ruined my sleeping schedule as I now have the sleeping patterns of a bat. Many of the grocery stores are empty leaving my fridge to be empty too. I’ve been surviving by eating eggos. My day mostly consists of sleeping and watching Netflix. There isn’t much to do and its driving me crazy.

Your COMMENT is needed to this post.

In your COMMENT, you will use the words: “I, [YOUR NAME HERE], agree to abide by the rules of Circle Time.”

This is important. Why? Now that we are in an Online environment, safety is even more compromise-able. You may not share any video, text, image to social media from this site. You may not speak to others outside of our class of private matters discussed in our website Circle. Our safety is important to us, and we can not write well unless everyone knows their thoughts and insights and feelings are safe.

Every link in the chain keeps the circle safe, and this begins with you.

Hi class!

How am I doing? I don’t know. Lousy. Okay. Freaked out. Fine.

I am at my computer this Monday, during our class time, at 1PM. It gives me a sense of continuity, and I need that.

My son is home with me, finally, so I feel relieved but cramped. We can’t find a spot to put all his stuff.  I still drink my tea every morning as part of my daily routine. I write every morning for myself for about 20 minutes (well, sometimes more and sometimes less). I go outside and practice my hula hoops and walk. It is weird out there.

I decided that we need to begin this, our first full week of class, with Circle Time. We need community.

CIRCLE TIME Activity 1: Agree, in writing, in a comment to the Professor’s post, with the words “I, [YOUR NAME HERE] agree to abide by the rules of Circle Time.”

CIRCLE TIME Activity 2: Write 3 Comments. You will notice that I (the Professor) have endeavored to comment once on each person’s “Diary 2” Entry. Now, it is your turn. Write a comment on someone’s post — preferably someone who has not gotten many comments yet. Also, write a comment on anyone’s post you wish. Write more than one to one person, if you wish. Post a minimum of 3 comments before Thursday, March 26. (As Admin of the site, I see all comments in the dashboard.)

IMPORTANT addition to our site: Become familiar with our new MEMBER ROLL. Scroll down the right-hand side of our site. There you will see the name of everyone in the class who has posted (including yourself). You can easily search for a post this way, as well as keep track of your own work.

Once you are done with Circle Time, make yourself familiar with your new assignments this week on our ASSIGNMENTS page. I post there every week.

I hope you like what I’ve created for you.

Yours,

-Prof. S.

During this whole situation, I’ve been extremely bored and worried. Worried for both my father and brother who work in the hospital. We just came back from Texas and it feels crazy to be back.  Every time somebody knew we were from New York they would literally get scared. But overall we are all fine at the moment. Wearing gloves and face masks are extremely necessary now especially in airports. My mother isn’t letting me leaving the house either and I actually thought it was going to be easy but it’s actually pretty hard. I’m literally gaining weight from just eating so much and not doing anything at all. But we’re all going to get through this. I hope everyone is doing well! Miss you guys lol.

Hey everyone, I hope you are feeling good. I have been feeling alright. Since this virus had been around to be honest I have not being scared at all for the fact because I’m self-quarantined. This situation has been started as a joke since in the beginning, starting with social media when people use to make fun about this virus. I’m not going to deny I have been posting some funny memes in social medias  too, but now I’m aware that this situation is serious. There are thousands of people getting infected every day and a considerable number of them are dying.  Spending my time inside I have been cleaning my home more than I use to before, but It’s a way to keep myself and family clean and safe. I also spend my time watching Netflix, the movie that I recently watched lt’s  called ”All the bright places” by Brett Haley. It’s a great movie. I’m also spending my time painting, It’s my favorite thing to do. It’s so relaxing and it’s a way where I always find myself into. To end this I want to say to you all stay safe and keep yourself clean, wash your hands constantly and don’t stress out because everything is going to be okay.

I’ve been good , can’t lie and say that when I heard we were going to be doing the work from home that I was excited, I mean who doesn’t want to stay home and relax. But to be honest it hasn’t even been that long and it’s getting boring and tiring having to stay home and not have any contact with the “ real world” unless is necessary. It’s crazy how you appreciate doing certain things when you are not able to do them anymore. I really haven’t Being up to much just staying home binge watching some movies and series. Playing board games with my mom and lil brother. Honestly just doing my best to keep being active and not think too much about what’s going on even tho it’s inevitable because that’s all that being talked about in social medias , News etc.

I have been home from school since the 11th of march, cant lie at first it was amazing, I worked more hours hung out with friends a little but things took a turn for the worse. on the 16th my boss closed our shop for a week so we can see how the virus is progressing. however we had to reopen within 3 days because we got a lot of cars. since I work in an auto body repair shop I’m in a closed up shop all day so I was starting to feel a little nervous since there is no constant air flow. luckily my boss is really understanding and cooperative, he got an air flow system for the entire shop. although we got the system for the shop all of us are still wearing gloves, face masks, and washing our hands and face frequently. not going to lie the corona virus is bad for the environment but I’m considering my self lucky because I’m not feeling sick at all and I can still make money while still attending classes. honestly while writing this I’m at work right now, I would add a picture but I haven’t figured out how to on mobile. hope everyone is safe.

I have been doing fine. I’ve have gone out to the gym to workout but now it’s closed. On Sunday I went out to eat Korean bbq with my 4 cousins. I started to get back into playing PC games since there is nothing to do. I’m mostly playing Call of Duty Warzone which recently came out. I haven’t done anything school-related in a while and need to catch up on homework and classes so I don’t fail.

Hey guys, Sorry I haven’t posted here in OpenLab. Just trying to figure things out with this distance learning and most importantly getting used to it. This coronavirus is nothing to play with. It is a serious problem that is taking over the world. As of today, I feel very worried and a little foolish because I was one of the people that was joking around this virus and not taking it serious. I learned the hard way that this virus is just getting worst. Since my job and my school are both closed, I’m spending way too much time at home and isolating myself from gatherings outside. I’m not doing much besides eating, sleeping and watching TV shows. Netflix has become my ride or die best friend lol. Breaking Bad is honestly the greatest tv show of all time. I’m not used to being at home the entire day. However, I got to understand that not being around people is probable the best way to slow down this virus. I’m feeling okay and healthy. Hope everyone is also safe and healthy. Let’s get through this!

Honesty when we was talking about this whole virus thing in class and how we would have to transition to classes online… I thought we was just joking. But it’s really serious. Governor is debating on giving curfews, everyone is buying groceries from the supermarket and are now being very careful. And then there’s me .. I don’t see it as something so serious. I don’t know why I think like this honestly but just being away from home right now and being with the National Guard doesn’t really make me scared at all well if I’m really telling the truth I wasn’t scared at all honestly thought this was just a little phase that was going to pass us and move on but it looks like it’s going to stick around for a while. I hope not
