What did you do ?

When I stayed at home during this pandemic Sometimes I felt bored with my activities
but my teacher always gave me advice that in your home you should study more. But
sometimes I felt sad because I can't studied with my friend because of this condition,
but sometimes I felt happy because I can gather with my family every day and every
time. The coronavirus has become the pandemic for a whole world. Most countries got
infected because of it. The numbers of dead were everywhere. Indonesia is one of the
countries infected with this virus. We are not allowed to get contacted with others.
Going to UIN means meeting several people. It has a high risk that the virus will spread
among students and the lecturer. Therefore, the government decided to all students
studying from their own houses, shortly day-off.
The first week of the day off spent well. I enjoyed so much having most of the time at
home. I could wake up late in the morning and nothing happened. I did not have to feel
the traffic jam. Though, my lecturers still gave us some assignments to do through the
online system. I had to stay online at 1 P.M until the lecturer said it has done for that
day. The assignments were quite the same as that we got at the class, but the difference
was we submitted them online and got the mark online as well.
However, days by days, I got bored with this routine. Since we are not allowed to do the
activities outside the house and neighborhood, I run off the idea to spend my time. I
called and did video calls with my friends. I watched the movies on TV. I helped my
mom doing the house chores. I felt like I have already done all things that I could do,
but it's like I did nothing.
Anyway, this pandemic won't last forever. I am not the only one who suffers from
boredom. There are many out there who suffer from famine because their parents cannot
make enough money because of the pandemic. But, Alhamdulillah I still have a chance
to enrich myself with knowledge. Let's hope the pandemic will end soon. Although it
means the day-off is over, but we all need to be back to the normal condition as soon as
possible.
Next, This is a story I experienced after a few weeks from pandemic holidays
It's been a few weeks since the governments warned us to stay at home during corona.
The school's activities are move mostly to WhatsApp. On WhatsApp, my teachers give
me a task to replace that we usually do in class. Even the exam/quiz we have to do it
online. Studying at home during corona is not exhausting, it's flexible. I can do it while I
eat, on the bed, on the floor, so don't worry about the backache. I like this kind of study
though, so we don't have to sit in the class for a long time.
Several weeks ago, I visited my Uncle in Lampung. My Uncle stayed in his house
alone. His home was in West Lampung. When I arrived there, I invited him to visit a
famous place in Lampung city. My Uncle recommended so many interesting places. the
first place I visited was Lake Suoh. My Uncle and I with my family playing in the lake
suoh. And then And then I looked for the nearest mosque to pray. After that, we pray in
the mosque .and then went home happily. We felt very tired. Then I packed my luggage
and said goodbye to Uncle And then, I promised to visit him later.
This is my story when I spent my day at home for four weeks in the third month of the
Pandemic Holidays.
I didn't go anywhere because of the corona outbreak. I spent my time in front of the
television or play an online game with my brother and my mother. My mother bought
me a new mobile phone. She said that it was better to play online games than play
outside the house.
I usually woke up without an alarm and took a bath. After that, I played games with my
cousin, watching television, or play an online game. I also helped my mother, such as
washed the dishes, swept the floor, or washed the clothes. It looked so boring, But I
enjoyed my time because I can saw my mother and sister every day.
And At the beginning of March 2020, for the first time I saw the news on the Tv about
COVID-19 has started to spread in Jakarta. Within a few days, the contagion started to
reach other cities around Jakarta and several other places across Indonesia. With this
condition, the government issued a warning and instructed all schools and universities
to call off all activities at classes and replace them with online learning instead. As the
result, I have been studying at home ever since.
The study from the home method was first implemented in March. The online
classroom was not ready at that moment. Yup, I think. And then many lecturers asked
me to create a Wa Group so that our Online teaching and learning process would
continue., I added all contacts of our class members and also My Lecture into the group.
After that, I make My Lecture as an admin easier for us to Learn.
My friends and I started working many assignments from My Lecturer. The assignment
that we have was quite challenging and difficult to answer. It felt even more challenging
to do the assignment alone by our self at home. We then decided to have an online
discussion by using the WhatsApp group call. Finally, I managed to finish the
assignment until Late at night and sometimes until Dawn, and then I sent it right away
to My Lecturer.
Many of my lecturers informed us that the online classroom was ready. He told us to
download Google Classroom on our phone so that we could access the class. We started
the class at 7.30 a.m. just like our usual learning at the class. Our first lesson that day
was Kewarganegaraan with Sir Wendy. Since it was an online classroom, we weren’t
required to wear our uniform. I enjoyed it, especially when Sir. Wendy told us that we
could have some snacks during the class. And then, Sir. Wendy’s class ended at 9.30.
At the end of the meeting, he gave us homework that we had to present at our next
meeting.
That was my experience of studying at home during this Coronavirus outbreak. The
activities were fun because my friend and I get to experience a new way of learning and
I think that it is good for students like us to use these kinds of technologies in our
learning process. But, I miss my friends so much, so I hope this outbreak ends soon. So,
In this Covid 19 holiday I studying online, I have lessons. Then the lessons that had
been finished were sent to the teacher. And then in the holidays I also assess (with the
presence of Covid 19 everything is prohibited from leaving the house, because it can
cause the coronavirus not to subside).
Maybe I still have the experience to share, like ;
Shopping on e-commerce or online shop services. Starting from vegetables and fruits to
stay healthy, to snacks to keep you happy. Because during this Pandemic period it also
made it difficult for me to leave the house as well as making me often use this E-
Commerce Service
Maybe next is Watch Films, Before this Pandemic holiday, I really liked watching
movies, but because this pandemic holiday made me more often watch films, Korean
drama series, Anime, Western series that I haven't had the chance to watch even if
frequency can make me forget the time but for me, this is the best way to get rid of
negative thoughts or fears during the corona outbreak that I often through film
streaming services such as Netflix, Viu, Hooq, as well as on several other film sites
And then Watch YouTube, During the Covid 19 holiday, I also watched YouTube a lot,
even since before the Covid 19 holiday I often watched YouTube. But because the
Covid 19 Pandemic made me more frequent than last year before this pandemic. Like
YouTuber Deddy Corbuzier, Jfla, Miawaug, etc. Deddy Corbuzier with his interesting
podcast makes me feel like continuing to watch his content Also I often watch Nessie
Juddge's channel. I really don't like horror things but for this YouTuber it's different,
horror and conspiracy genres like Nessie Judge feel different. Because I like the content
and add to my insight too.
And Several Month ago I Take online courses in Online Apps, A few months ago I took
an online course, even though it's not an English course but about programming &
android but I took part for one month Not bad, besides avoiding boredom at home
because there is no work, I also have additional knowledge and skills because it takes
advantage of the useful time during the quarantine period.
What do you think?
I think the Covid 19 Pandemic is Changing many things. Many workers are fired off,
the economy is down, and especially for the students, we learn with online apps and
become ineffective.
What did you see?
Yes, there are many things that I saw. Like when I was on vacation in Lampung I saw
Lake Suoh, and also when I saw many films and others.

Who did you meet?

When I was on holiday from this pandemic, I met many people, including my uncle in
Lampung when I was on vacation a few months ago. And My friends when I play at his
house or there are student organization activities.
Did you have any interesting experiences?
Not much, but an interesting experience for me in my vacation in Lampung a few
months ago and I also participated in the One day With Hmps activity Two days ago
How did you feel about the condition?
I think now in Indonesia the current situation has become very chaotic, with many
problems, especially in the economic and health sectors.
Then write about how you feel about the condition of Covid 19 Pandemic now?
I Think In Indonesia I feel now that there is a lot of confusion going on in this time of
the pandemic. As I saw on Deddy Corbuzier's Channel on Youtube about Dr. Tirta
talking about the condition of society during this pandemic, most Indonesian people
need food more than their health, including wearing masks. When I heard that I thought
that what Dr. Tirta said was true. But then I thought, we also have to think about the
health of this country as well as not only for food and also for the economy. In what
ways are your present experiences now different from your earlier experiences?
Between now and my earlier experiences It is very different, especially in terms of
health. I have started a new habit of mine which sometimes gets up early and sometimes
gets up during the day. Washing my hands after holding something, wearing a mask
when I want to leave the house, eating nutritious foods, and using hand sanitizers
Before this pandemic, I rarely did that.
