So I was finally able to rent out my bedroom and get out of the country. That’s the good news.
The bad news, is the coronavirus.
It’s starting to look like I’ll soon be quarantined inside here, and I’ll be here for two full months just about. Most of that time may be spent in my own apartment!
But I don’t want to waste my time here. It’s easy to just get lost in the news or doing nothing productive, but I really want to make the most of it even if I end up stuck inside.
With work, that means re-focusing on my “one thing”. It means being productive when I’m supposed to be working and concentrating on long-term success.
For everything else, I just want to make sure I’m concentrating as well. I want to do a lot of reading, studying Spanish, and even speaking in Spanish with people. I think I’m going to have to start scheduling italki lessons because there’s nobody to meet here! Everything is closed. And what’s not: I shouldn’t be going to.
So, I’m in a bit of a dilemma. But it doesn’t have to be terrible.
Worst case, I watch every sunset from the balcony, have a pint of Corona, and wait for this all to blow over.
