March has for sure been the craziest month of my life. With all this covid stuff going on the world is freaking out. Travel has stopped and basically, the world is at a standstill. They want everyone to freeze and not do anything. The COVID cases are spiking. BYU Hawaii has advised that the rest of the semester will be online because they have forced everyone living on campus to go home. I can't complain because the semester is really easy. The teachers weren't planning on this happening so they weren't really prepared for online lectures so lucky for me I was able to slide through my first semester as a junior.
Covid is making anything normal and exciting impossible. People's weddings are happening over Zoom or just in random courthouses. No gatherings are to take place larger than 20 people. There was a sweet girl on campus who couldn't fly home because her country locked their borders so she was getting married in Laie and she invited me to be one of her bridesmaids because she wanted someone to celebrate the big day with. I feel bad because I don't even know this girl and here am standing right by her at the wedding. The ceremony was about a 2 min celebration before we all had to run and hide before the police came. Weird times right?
The one good thing about COVID-19 is that everyone is scared at home. Which means the hiking trails and beaches are empty. Those of us who aren't concerned about COVID-19 have been living our best lives. I have gone on several more hikes with friends and we are loving the empty beaches. Also, some people are acting straight-up crazy. The state is making everyone wear masks to prevent COVID-19 from spreading. But let me tell you if you have tried wearing a mask for 8 hours it's impossible to breathe. A the preschool Aunty Tupu couldn't find one so she put on some random kids' underwear on her head.... Covid is making everyone crazy. Only 4 kids out of the 130 have decided to come to preschool so all of us teachers only work 1 day a week and get full pay from the state. I would say this is a win-win situation. I do feel bad for the small businesses that are suffering covid seems to be doing a lot of damage.
