how i survive self-isolation

This post is my entry for the

#beatquarantine challenge!

Entering on the last possible day.

Ok, I’m going to be completely

honest here: as a graduate student

who studies mostly from home

anyway, my life actually hasn’t

changed *that* much since Norway

introduced complete lock-down.

The biggest change for me was

A) no more going to cafes and the

library to study

B) no more take-out coffee (spoiled)

C) no more visiting my grandmas

out of fear I might unknowingly

infect them with covid-19

The last one is definitely the worst

for me, because I feel so bad knowing

my grandmas are just at home alone

without anyone visiting them. I call

them, of course, but it’s just not the

same as being able to grocery shop

for them, make them food, bring

them a glass of water, and hold their

hand.

So here is the spread I made in

relation to my quarantine. I made

it in my traveler’s notebook,

which I’ve used as my bujo from

November 2019 until the end of April

2019. I made a list of things to do

when the days felt really long and

uneventful, since I knew I’d be

spending a lot of time at home. I made

it in the end of March, when Norway

decided to go into lock-down.

I will probably make one that is more

focused on mental health now in May,

but I haven’t quite figured out how to

do it yet. I’m making so many spreads

for May, it must be the motivation and

excitement that comes with starting a

new journal haha!

I actually found that I don’t have any

problem finding activities to do at home

- there’s always something that can be

cleaned, or drawn, or played, or

reorganized (lol). However, my brain is

much harder to tidy up and reorganize,

but it needs a deep clean, so that’s why

I thought I should focus on that next.
