Worked extra yesterday with my students to make up for the lost time on Tuesday. We went from 9am until after 7pm. Took a couple extra breaks but otherwise stuck to a normal schedule. Was totally worth it. We only have about 2-3 hours to make up today. We're going to start early again today because all of them have at least one conflict and we need to make up the time. Luckily they are all good students. This is an advanced class and for once I have students who all belong in the class. No one has been a problem which is great. I complimented them all on that too. Wonderful group.
Given how much I worked yesterday, not much else to report. Had a late dinner, watched some TV, went to bed. For once no drama from the outside world. Or at least none I bothered to pay attention to. I did realize something though last night. I was bringing in the garbage cans and saw people out walking and cars on the road and I thought to myself how can these people go right back to thinking everything is fine and act like none of the last two months happened? I realized afterwards that this whole event has changed me on some level. I didn't like being outside before this but now I am loathe to want to be in public. I don't want to be around people, I don't want to go anywhere with a group, etc. I am quite happy staying away from everyone and just being inside. I know that sound a bit defeatist, but I don't want to die from stupidity. The stupidity of someone accidentally sneezing on me. This whole event has hit me hard. Mortality awareness I would call it. So yeah, I am going to stay in here and just watch the world unfold.
AT&T is supposed to be here this morning. Let's see if they find anything useful. Highly doubt it, but we shall see.
