Hi! my name is Maya and I would like to tell you how I spent my time in Quarantine. Quarantine all started in China, and the government started warning Israel when they heard the news about the virus. In the month of March Israel entered a lock down, the news was filled with reports about the virus that spread all around the world pretty quickly, when we entered quarantine, we stopped going to school and we studied from home.
We learn using an app called Zoom where you can make calls with a lot of people. we learn about five hours a day with breaks, its a little hard to study because some times there are interruptions and internet trouble for the teachers . we get a little more home work then we usually do at school. I spend the rest of the day doing my homework, cooking, baking, watching TV and spending time with my family. I bake a lot now that we are in Quarantine because I like baking and I think that I have developed a lot of new baking and cooking skills during Quarantine.
My dad ordered a new mixer for cooking and I now use it every day to bake. I’m having a lot of fun in quarantine and I prefer not going to school. A lot of exciting things happened during this time, my oldest brother joined the army, my other brother celebrated his fifteenth birthday and we adopted a new cat, but the cat ran away and it didn’t come back yet. I have been watching a lot of TV, I started a new TV series called Rick and Morty, its on Netflix and i’m enjoying, so far it’s really good, on Passover Vacation I ruined my sleeping schedule so it was pretty hard when we started learning again (Using Zoom).
It was really hard not seeing my friends and family but we came to visit my grandparents. My friends and I talked using Whats app and Zoom. I miss going surfing and going to the beach, I did go one time to take a stroll on the beach with my mom but we couldn’t get in, and surprisingly there were a lot of people there. One of the things I remember the most was when my mother, my sisters and I went to a shopping mall in Netanya, we wore masks and I was having a little bit of trouble breathing.
It was fun and it was really exciting because it was the first time I got out of the house in about two months!. Quarantine is alright but I think I’m ready to go back to school, I miss my friends, and my siblings are starting to annoy me a little, and the more time that we are in Quarantune I’m becoming more of a crack head, and more silly…. thank you for listening to me while I talked about my time in quarantine.
