Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that's not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?
(Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor, Welcome to Night Vale, episode 46: "The Parade")
Some names have been changed.
The news came to me while I was having lunch. I heard the bell of Titania's messages. The classes had been cancelled. I stared at the screen in amazement. I knew it was a possibility but I didn't expect it so soon. Maybe the situation was worse than I thought.
Anyway, I finished lunch and I went to school to pick Luna and Erin up. I knew that most of my students would be ecstatic but I was shocked. I started exchanging messages with other teachers. We had the same worries: Did we have to go to school? In Madrid they had to. What about the second term grades? We didn't know yet.
After what seemed like a long time Luna and Erin got into my car. I had prepared a calming daddy talk for them but Luna was already in the know. She said that the students cheered, shouted and laughed when they heard the news but she was a bit worried.
"Daddy, are we all going to die?"
"No, sweetheart," I replied.
"I don't want Erin to die!"
"Me neither."
"I don't want to die!" added Erin.
"No one is going to die," said I, in my take of a calming voice.
When we got home all the dolls were put in a quarantine. I asked Erin why and she explained that it was because of the "problemavirus". My new favourite word.
Titania came home shortly afterwards. She knew someone who knew someone who was infected, so she was a bit worried herself. We talked and we decided to stay at home as much as we could. We called our parents and told them that they wouldn't see their granddaughters in two weeks. It wasn't a happy call, but they all understood.
It was time to go shopping. The chemist's was deserted but the supermarket was crowded. It was a bit tense. The carts were fuller than usual, the lines were longer. Everybody was on their mobiles. I bought sausages and hot dog buns to make a special dinner.
At bedtime the girls were really excited. I told them two of my best stories, "La princesa Pelusilla" y "El príncipe del pelo de vainilla", but in the end mummy had to step in. Quick dinner and a shower for me. I checked my emails but there wasn't much new information. My friends from Rolegate wanted to move the game to Discord. Sounded like a good idea, so we did just that. I played a chess game and I won.
Titania was already fast asleep. She was coughing a bit, so I slept in the sofa.

Today was a day like another, I went to school with great joy, since I had a math exam that I knew would go very well, after finishing the exam in the last hour I went to my boyfriend's house for a while, after that I went to my house.
When I arrived, I discovered that the class was full of messages from my classmates, who said that classes had been suspended starting tomorrow, I was angry because the next day I had a very important exam.
I spoke with my partner to see what we were going to do, but in the end it was decided not to go.
I was a little scared by the situation, since this had never happened to me, so I started watching movies and series not to think that I was isolated in my house.
Day 0:
ResponderEliminarThe news reached me when I was on my way to my father's house (as usual every Tuesday and Thursday), neither of us believed it. After hours of debate in the group, and without exaggerating the hours we saw that it was not a joke, but something worried us; final exams and works to expose. We agreed to contact the tutor, who did not hesitate to answer us as soon as possible, and gradually tried to control the situation. In the afternoon I went to train, although I had read a story that said that extracurricular activities were also suspended. My coach doubted whether to teach the class or not, because they could sanction him but he decided to do it behind closed doors. When I left the training I went to my house, I bathed in a hurry and I went down to take the bus to go to Yonay's house, a tragedy happened that made me get in a very bad mood. The bus had to be at 21:29 at the stop where I got on, where I waited from 21:22 because it usually arrives earlier. The minutes passed and the bus did not arrive, I asked 2 drivers of other buses that passed and one of them told me that they had smashed a glass to the bus a few stops before they still had about 10 minutes to come (all this happened at 9:50 p.m.) after half an hour of despair, the next one corresponding to 10 p.m. passed, because 12 o'clock passes every half hour. Finally I picked it up and arrived at my destination an hour later than planned. After a tiring day and unexpected surprises I asked for dinner, they brought me the pizza potatoes 2 times wrong, they hit the third time and why I had to speak to the manager. (By the way I mention the snack bar because I do not recommend it: Diamond Jinamar), I finally went to sleep. With all my sincerity, very happy that there were no classes.

ResponderEliminarThe Lockdown Diaries: Day 0.
ResponderEliminarI got home from high school and I had lunch. When I finished, I checked the newspaper on my mobile and read that classes had been suspended in the Canary Islands. My sister and I were very happy but we also worried a little because that means that the situation was getting worse.
Knowing that the next day I had no school, I fell asleep because I was tired from all the exams.
When I woke up, my aunt told me that she had gone to the supermarket and there was not enough food. People are too scared, I think that not everything is so bad, you just have to be careful and follow the instructions of the authorities.
There are too many false news but I read a news that says that the coronavirus is worse than the flu and that we do not trust ourselves. My parents say we should take it seriously but without being scared.

Day one: I stayed at home with my family.
ResponderEliminarIn the afternoon I went to Mercadona to do the shopping and seeing people out of control and I started to worry.
When I got home I put on the news and saw that the situation was recorded, so these two weeks I will spend at home watching Netflix with my family.

ResponderEliminarWell, I found out that there was no class that day in the afternoon since my best friend sent me a message.
At first I was happy but later when I turned on the television I realized that it was a much more serious problem so I told my mother she apparently was not so surprised, so she just told me to finish studying and go down to dinner . When I came down to dinner I asked her what we were going to do about this problem and she replied that tomorrow we would think about what to do.
I finished dinner, brushed my teeth and went to rest.

ResponderEliminarWell, on Thursday when I went home, I ate and then I started reading the group we have from my class and throughout the afternoon, I found out that we were not going to have classes for the next few days. This was good news for everyone, because what a student is not happy that we do not have classes, but on the other hand I thought what, that would bring us the next few days locked up at home without being able to leave.

ResponderEliminarI was sleeping in my bed when my mother woke me up,I was very confused and at the same time angry because I was very sleepy,but my mom explained what was happening, classes suspended due to coronavirus! I couldn't believe it! I felt frustrated since I had studied for a very important exam, "anyway there is a good part" I thought, because my mother gave me permission to go outside.
At 16:00,I went to the soccer field with my friends, then, I went to the San José court, there, we were playing for many hours, I had a lot of fun, at 22:00,I went back to my house with my friend Jeremy, I ate dinner, I took a bath and I fell asleep.

ResponderEliminarBefore the alarm state, my aunt went from Madrid. We thought that the coronavirus or COVID-19 wouldn't affect like this to our islands. So we pass the days like always, working and studying. On Thursday, one of my classmates send me a photo of the cancellation of classes, I thought it was fake, so I comment it with my aunt. She received an image about the close of the activities and the classes. So we stay at home like the specialists said. Our weekend was really funny and weird, because this situation it's like a movie. How we pass the time in this weekend? Well, I drawed some things to paint with my parents and my aunt, we laughed a lot with stupid things, we videocalled my grandma to see how she was going in this situation and we watched a film called "Green book". The film it's about an real history and it was really great, I recommend it. And finally at nine o'clock we clapped for the effort that the health team it's giving us to save our lives in this times.
