Some of the students of English 3 (evening shift) have shared some reflections on lockdown days. Here you have some of them:
Inma’s reflections:
During these days of confinement, time is lived in a different way. I feel that this period is like a parenthesis between the “before” and the next “after”. A parenthesis in which sometimes you just let time go by. On the other hand, if I compare myself to other people, I feel fortunate for two main reasons. The first is that I live in a house and I have a dog, as this has allowed us to go for a walk in the countryside every day. The second is because I am retired so I don’t have to worry about work. I also see positive that everyone is united, one way or another, in front of a single enemy. And I also think that confinement is being very positive for nature and the environment.
Xavi’s thoughts:
I feel alone, despite being surrounded by my colleagues and the people who enter in the supermarket. I feel alone, because what was once a daily gesture, now I can’t do it, that gesture is as simple as hugging my colleagues. I have my reward when I get home and she is waiting for me.
Tere’s comments:
“I’m sad and worried, because days pass and every day things change. No one knows for sure everything. No one knows how long this will last so we do not know when we can have a normal life more or less”
Jose Maria’s vision:
“Although you already know that it’s not my case, I send my reflections related to our news. We are living a time that will go down in history. I never thought that this would change our lives. This pandemic will bring us a very important economic setback. When these disaster happened, I realized many things that I didn’t value before. A very warm greeting”.
Tere’s reality:
“I feel a little sad for the paralysis of life and the difficulty to express emotional and socially but at the same time I am encouraged and I am a privileged because these difficult moment is temporary and I don’t have basic deficiencies. I think, in the world, many people live with many difficulties all their life. Regarding the future I am sorry, but I am a little optimistic and I think people will learn a little and they will not regret”.
