phone, wallet, keys, MASK

Time flies, time flies. Do you guys remember when they said covid would be gone by April then changed to end of July/August? And now it’s the second week of September and corona is still here thriving… Yeah, time flies doesn’t it? I remember the spring semester like it was just a month ago. I was so hopeful and so gullible to the thought that covid19 would be fixed so fast and life would go back to normal. I wanted it so bad, I thought life had stopped due to covid. But then, I started working again during the summer, spent time outside, went swimming A LOT, and sometimes life felt okay. But then of course, I spent days worried about this virus. Two family friends passed away from it. I had a hand full of relatives catch it, and talking to them on the phone frighten me. I always thought, what if i’m next? Needless to say, I did get covid tested back in early June, I cried the day before testing, and as I was getting tested. I had no symptoms, I had just came in direct contact with someone who tested positive so I made the responsible choice to get tested. After receiving my negative results within 48hrs I was so grateful for life. As cliche as that may sound, I remember reading my test results and honestly had so much excitement for being okay. I know many people don’t believe in it, or think it’s just a simple cold BUT this thing kills… Like it may not affect you drastically but there’s other people who’s immune system honestly can’t handle it. Wearing a mask and washing your hands are two simple steps we should all follow for the betterment of ourselves. I for instance, walking out of the house have always said “phone, wallet, keys, phone, keys, wallet” with the physical touching of those three objects because I tend to forget one or the two sometimes. I’ve found that repeating that little jingle has saved me from being moneyless and phone-less at the store hahahahahaha. HOWEVER, it is 2020, and since it is 2020 and ms. corona is a thing I had to incorporate the mask park into my jingle. When I tell you I’ve angry walked backed in the house to get a mask these past month, it’s only been 3 times. And those three times were before I started incorporating “phone, wallet, keys, MASK”. MASK, oh yes MASK. Everyday when I walk out of the house I pat myself down for those four things “phone, wallet, keys, MASK”. You should try it out, if you’re like me and tend to forget things. Anyways, WELCOME BACK TO CCBC best of luck this fall 2020 semester and please use all the virtual tools that are being provided like virtual tutoring or like virtual office hours. I want all of us to succeed so please study :))))))))) oh and have fun! don’t stress too much.
