The QuaranTEENS

Recently mister Macron decided to take off the lockdown, we are now able to go 100 Kilometres around our homes without permission. I don’t know if I’m supposed to be happy about it or not. I’m happy to see my friends again and play basketball again that’s sure. But I don’t think that this country or any country at all is ready to face COVID again and ending the lockdown is without any doubt going to provoke a second wave of COVID cases. That’s my opinion in any case, given that French people are not showing the most responsible behaviour against this virus. Going out without vital reason, meeting with friends during the lockdown, etc. Indeed, I think that this irresponsible decision of the government represents perfectly the irresponsible behaviour of its people. In conclusion even after all the danger that this end of lockdown represents, I’m still a little bit happy because I can meet with my homies again, and it’s been a long long time. We can also assume that this end of lockdown is the first step to coming back to school and coming back to my favourites classes beyond all: English classes.

On this third week of Ramadan I was still trying to find something useful to do given that I was tired of Fortnite, Warzone and Naruto. At first I got very excited about cooking with my mums, it’s a very instructive way of spending your time I think. But actually, I needed to find another way of spending my time while eating my muffins, my carrot cake and my fondant au white chocolat. By looking at Netflix’s top 10 I found “Top Boy”, a show about drug traffic and gang wars in UK and more specifically in London suburbs. By watching that show I realized how lucky I was and how hard is street life, you can get knifed or get thrown acid on you just because you were trying to provide for your family and criminality is the only thing society has left for you. After finishing the first season I was disappointed to not find a second one, I then spent my free time listening to music coming out from that “world”, the biggest mouvement being « drill ». I recommend you the songs “let’s lurk” by 67 and “Heartache” by jaykae.

My quarantine started in a very stressful way for me, my brother Yunes came back from Spain and started living with us. A few days after he moved in, one of he’s best friends in Madrid was diagnosed positive to COVID-19 so he taught that he surely had it too. After that, I realized how much free time this quarantine gave me so I decided to end the anime “Naruto”, thing that I had been trying to do since summer break but I couldn’t achieve because of work . Finally, this tuesday I had an extra scholar math class trough Skype. We were only there : the teacher and another student, a female student, and I kind of had a big big crush on her. I don’t know if the quarantine is driving me crazy, but I think I’m in love with her.
