The QuaranTEENS

This week I went out a lot to see friends, most of them are allowed to go out even more day after day. Now that my parents know that a lot of people are going out they forbid me some time to go out and party with them. But of course, courses are still on and I’m really happy that the teacher’s meeting is soon. I already have my school for next year, everything is about marketing and luxury that’s why I’m not really interested in Parcoursup, and I’m glad about it because when I see everyone stressing for their results… it’s crazy. My driving lesson resumed and I will pass my driving license asap I really want to be able to drive during summer break because I’ll do more things on my own. 

This week was really intense for me I went to Chinon with my parents by car to see my sister Alice. She was locked down with a friend of hers called Alix in the countryside in a family castle. I didn’t see her for 9 weeks and it was really hard to not cry in front of her because my mum did. We spent three days in this castle, it was really peaceful to be in the countryside I did so many activities like bicycle in the fields. Now I have sunburns but it’s a bad for a good because after that I’ll be tanned and believe it or not it’s really hard for me to be tanned😅😂 

It’s been 2 days that everyone can go outside without problems and we completely see the different. There is a lot of people in the street with masks and there is so much cars, I wasn’t used to it anymore. I’m really happy because I’m going to see my sister near Tours, it’s been 2 months I miss her a bit. By the way I study a lot my science courses and we still have work to do so we must continue to work hard for the exam in continue.

This week has been like others, even if because of the deconfinement some teachers give us more homework to do and more exam. We know that it won’t be marked, but we have to do them for the after confinement. The government should talk at 8 pm tonight to say which department will be in green (which means they can go outside on the 11^th without any problem) or in red (which means that this department will have issues with going outside and see people). My parents told me that we would go to Chinon that is near Tours from Thursday to Saturday to pick my sister up but my mum is scared of being controlled in France so we will go there next week. It’s going to be great to spend some days under the Sun and being outside in the garden not in an apartment.

Yesterday the minister of education spoke on TV about new rules for the deconfinement. We can maybe see the end of it. Apparently teenagers in high school won’t start courses before May 30^th but small kids will on May 11^th. Because of the fact that a lot of people have been touched by the coronavirus in Ile de France, we should be one of the last department to be deconfine, this is so annoying because everybody else will be out, even if we don’t have restaurant or movie theatre it’s gonna be hard to see others outside and free. I’m really scared about summer break because they said that if we go back to school the government will maybe push summer break to have more time at school for children. Anyways now we have to wait till May 7 to see which department will be able to deconfine first even if it’s getting hard to stay at home without seeing a lot of people.

It’s been a month now that we are locked up and I’m still waiting for the end of it. The government said that apparently we would be at the reaching point at the end of may and that we would be maybe able to go out at the end of June … it seems so far. 

My parents allow me to go out about 2 times a week otherwise I’m really annoying and we argue all the time. I don’t know what people think about “the applause time” at 8pm but I don’t usually do it because most of the time people who applause are the one who go out for a walk (like I do obviously) and I don’t think it’s fair because if you applause that means that you support the medical people and that you don’t go out like the president said. 

This week was boring… like the last one… and the one before. I don’t know when it’s gonna end and people says that we won’t go to school before September. The most frustrated thing during confinement is that we can’t have a private discussion with a close friend, like during the day when nobody is in the apartment because of work or even at a cafe. I don’t think we can have privacy anymore these days. Like the majority of teenagers, I argue with my parents every day for meaningless things. I have a lot of time to think on my own and I really don’t think that the recover with be easy and fast, every day we see on social media that people will go out, party and see friends but I’m pretty such that this is not gonna happened because people will be scared about an other relapse of coronavirus. 

The Coronavirus has grown significantly from it start. It’s been nine days that people are locked down in their houses for at least five weeks, I’m in my apartment with my parents, my sister isn’t with us she is with a friend out of Paris and I think it’s for the better. In the city, streets are empty and everything is quiet I’ve never seen Paris like that. I spend my day in my room working for school and scrawling on social media for news and the daily life of my friends but all I see is people being outside videotaping it and posting it on their account to show others how being outside is cool but it’s only dangerous and irresponsible. But I’m not going to be the one that says that coronavirus is only something that make dead people because it’s not true this is what the media want us to know, they don’t show enough how people are recovering from this disease even the oldest one. Anyway, life is boring when you stay at home all day long four weeks left ,this is gonna be really hard.
