When lockdown began, I knew many challenges laid ahead.
There I was with a degree to finish, a dissertation to write, a job which now
needed to take place from home.... and all whilst being in a different country
(technically) from my family. The first few days felt like a whirlwind as I’m
sure it did for many, this was all new, what was I supposed to do? And more
than that.... how the hell was I supposed to feel?
I tried to build myself a routine, started to find my feet but
often a few days into feeling organised I’d lose my mojo and be back to the
beginning again, I guess that’s how lockdown emotions work, somedays you feel
like you have it all together, and others.... well..... you’re lost. Lost in
this whirlwind of uncertainly.
For all the reasons mentioned above, I knew lockdown was
going to be tough. But before I could even comprehend facing my degree. Before
I even thought about opening a textbook. Before I could even think about trying
to thrive in this newfound environment we had found ourselves in... I had to
learn the basics.
