We have been confined for over four weeks now. I smiled the first time I heard the news because for me, I was going to be able to sleep more, to have a rest, to do sports, to play games, to have time to do school work and extra-work and I had deduced that I would therefore be more active during the day. Also, I would take care of my family, to be closer to her and this would allow me to hear news from all my relatives.

But now that it has been four weeks, I have changed my mind. I wish I could go back to class, work normally, go to the pool and go rock climbing. So I would like to see my friends, my family in real life again. I terribly miss all this but we are all in the same situation and I think the best thing is to stay at home, continue to talk with relatives and friends. I also think it is a good time to reconnect with people I have not talked to in a long time. For my part, it allowed me to know what was happening to my friends. First of all I have got in touch with a friend I have not seen since primary school, he now lives right next door to me! He told me about these plans for the next few years and they are exciting. I am really looking forward to seeing him again. I also learned that someone close to me had caught the coronavirus and was really not feeling well. He had to go to the hospital and luckily now he is better. At the same time, I learned that a friend of mine might be spending the summer holidays in the same place as me! This special time allows us to take news from close people and that improves everyone’s morals, which is important during this period of lockdown.

For everyone’s sake I hope that we will soon see the end of this period which is beginning to be long.
