komadori: Kisa from Fruits Basket with the caption "I'll turn my courage into wings." (Default)
I'm just popping in to say that I'm still here, and I've managed to avoid Covid-19 thus far. I'm really glad that I did not enroll in in-person classes this semester, but I am doing some independent work that definitely has a deadline. I'm struggling to work from home and stay focused. Fortunately, I am making progress today even if it isn't as much as I had hoped. I'm not as far along as I would like because I was sick for most of February and my mental health has been crappy. Overall, I'm doing much better than last year, but I know 2020 is a harder year for the world, and I am not immune to the weight of collective anxiety.

I was doing pretty good at first, but the situation really hit me sometime last week. I have been taking this threat seriously since Disneyland announced they would close after Friday the 13th, but the severity of how our world has changed took a while to sink in. There is so much suffering and fear going around. Everything I wanted to do to distract myself from my normal existential dread has been canceled or postponed--which is a small price to pay to keep everyone safe but still disappointing. So, I have turned to the Internet to stay connected, and that's why I'm here again.
