So. It's been 9 months since I last added something here. What a year. We have always been saying that this is the year the future generations will talk about. This year is special in history. A lot has change in an instant. We always think that culture and behavior change gradually. But 2020 really did it. Our lifestyles changed over night.
I am now in my second year of law school. And since March of last year, we have been holding our classes online. The second semester of first year got rid of numerical grades, implementing a pass-or-fail system for students. Luckily, I passed all subjects. But still, the end of this pandemic is not in sight as the year ended. The first semester of the next school year, which started in September and ended much earlier in mid-December, was fully online. We have never met our professors. We have never met our classmates. All requirements were scaled down. It was easy and difficult at the same time.
I have also been working from home since March 2020. I've been to the office for a total of around 5 times, I think, just to check up on things.
I've met with my boyfriend only twice since lockdown started. He is staying in the province now. And we both work from home. So we don't want to risk it and expose ourselves against this virus.
There are still a lot of things to talk about but everything is just a blur at the same time. I haven't gone home for the holidays, just stayed with my sister here in the Metro for Christmas and New Year.
Just to update you with my current interest, I finally decided to start reading works of Brandon Sanderson. Just finished The Way of Kings (Stormlight Book 1) a few days ago and jumped ahead for Words of Radiance (Book 2). Already bought Warbreaker and Elantris. I am in for a treat! It's gonna be a long ride for 2021 discovering the world Sanderson created. It's been a long while since I really read a tome of a fiction. I just needed to fill the void ASOIAF left, since no publications are in sight in the near future.
Since the semester just ended, I am not focused on work, and we have a number projects. Tomorrow, I will go to work because my boss set a meeting, and he was inviting us for a lunch. (Pandemic who?)
Anyways, just checking out this ever dependable blog of mine. It's been a while.
See you soon.
