Coronavirus stooOoo00oop you're killing the vibes :(

JK the line is from a funny video that I found on TikTok.

Last Sunday, I was waiting for my university or at least my faculty to take action due to the fatal virus. Class starts on Monday, hence I wanted a confirmation that whether or not we would be having classes since other universities or even other faculties from my university are closing down. I'm studying in the city, and the condition is really bad and it's not getting any better. I felt frightened even when I was just staying at home as my housemates had cough, flu as well as fever. They went for a check up and thank God that they're not infected. I have never had chicken pox my entire life hence my antibody is really weak and I'm very vulnerable to any disease. I waited and waited but to no avail. Out of 8 subjects I'm taking this semester, only 1 lecturer cancelled our class. So I packed my stuff and decided to go back. F*ck it, I'm skipping all classes for the whole week.

I could only drive back to my hometown at 3 pm yesterday because I was waiting if there would be online classes but there wasn't any. I was kind of annoyed because If I knew that this was going to happen, I could have gone home from last Friday. I was fasting so I had to break my fast in the car. I finished Pringles that I bought at a petrol station in just a few minutes. Then I went straight to my boyfriend's house to see him for a while (since we haven't seen each other in 3 weeks) before going back to mine.

Last night, the government had confirmed that all universities in this country will be closed down. My university had also come up with an announcement that we will be having a break until 12th April, which is like a month from now. We will not even have online classes. What does this even mean? Does it mean that we are going to extend our studies? The students are highly encouraged to go back to their hometown but at the same time, the government restricts our movement. People also need to fill up a form to go back if their hometown is in another state. They don't want people to involve in mass gatherings but there will definitely be a lot of people at the police station. Everyone is panicking right now, including the authorities. The least we can do is to just follow the orders.

I totally don't know what to do for a month. I mean, I'm glad that I can stay at home with my family but I don't want to come back to my university and have tests and assignments waiting without being prepared.

Whatever you are doing, just remember to;
1. Avoid going to public places.
2. Wear your mask!
3. Frequently wash your hands with water and soap.
4. Bring hand sanitizer everywhere you go.

Stay safe everyone ;)
