We have about three weeks left in the semester. Being home and completing classes online has become a lot harder for me. It has definitely been harder for me to stay focused and complete all my school work because my priority right now is not school, but rather staying healthy. My parents keep updating me that more people are catching the coronavirus in my hometown and the city I live in, Simi Valley. I also have had a cold recently, so I’ve been trying to make sure I don’t get really sick.
As far as completing my assignments, with being sick recently, it has become very difficult. It has been really hard for me to contact sources for all the articles I’m writing right now. I have articles to write in all my classes, but I’m just going to continue to fight my sickness right now and continue to reach as many people as I possibly can. For one of my classes, I have to contact a journalist in Barbados. At least in this class, i’m just contacting people that attend San Diego State University for my final story. I have contacted two juniors and a senior. For me personally, I feel really bad for the seniors because they are going to have to wait till December to graduate and depending on where they live or if they have a job or some other reason, they might not be able to come back to San Diego in December. In my story, I want to talk about the students reaction to not getting money back and how they feel about the online learning process.
As a result, I just want to say, school was a lot easier for me when we still had on-campus classes. I definitely miss that in class engagement with my classmates and my professors. I also retained more information and focused more when I attended class.
