COVID-19

This week the American president Donald Trump announced a national emergency due to the wide spread of the COVID-19 virus. This decision caused all Broward county schools to close-down to prevent further spread. This instilled a slight panic in me and my classmates. We had lots of questions regarding our academic work as well as all of our standardized testing dates. This is a unique situation all around the world so as of now a lot of us do not know what we will be doing during this break. Not only does this impact my academic life but my extracurriculars as well. Since our city government has suspended all large organized gatherings all of my swim practices have been cancelled. This is a big deal to me because I have been practicing almost everyday since I learned how to swim. This unique circumstance has put me in a position where I have to deal with extra time and the mental side affects. In this blog I will discuss what I am doing to maintain a routine to keep myself from becoming unproductive.
My coach has provided us with a variety of at home workouts we can do to stay in shape. In addition, as of now we have not heard about any extension or cancellation of the AICE Media Studies exam, so I will continue to work as planned. My group mates and I are currently discussing a time that we will be able to meet to re-film. This is a bit difficult because of the uncertainty of the situation. Some of them had planned to travel during the break, however we are now unsure if that would be a safe idea. Airports are a place where lots of people from all over come together and they could possibly be a host to the corona virus. To prepare to re-film I have composed a list of all the scenes we need to re-film and what the issues with those scenes were. This will help conserve time and make our time filming the most efficient. This helps me to organize my ideas and gives me a task to complete during the quarantine. Finally, I will be re-drawing our storyboard according to the adjustments we have made to our film.
