How do I feel about the online class ?? I seriously don ’ t know …
It ’ s a mixed reaction for me . Initially , when I heard about the great ‘ Corona virus ’, I was thrilled because we were given indefinite holidays . It was in the last few days of 4th grade that the lockdown was declared due to Covid-19 . Without knowing the seriousness , I was very happy and glad that the annual holidays started a bit early . I thought that I need not to wake up early ; I could just play , call friends , and enjoy . Then the Government decided to start online classes as the schools of other countries started online classes . I felt annoyed at the person who got this idea . Initially , it was a horrible experience for me . The problems were innumerable . I had network problems and technical issues to name a few . Once I got used to it the whole experience was fun . Also , I could meet my friends and teachers , virtually though . I was also getting bored sitting at home .
I , sometimes believed that online classes were easier or less demanding than traditional classes but then I was wrong as it got a lot harder than the regular classes . We had to change our daily life routine . Now , I seriously wish someone would invent a vaccine for Covid -19 . The new normal has started to get boring . Let ’ s all hope and wish that 2021 brings a new beginning and a happier and healthier life to all of us .
