My confinement at home


As all of us are now in quarantine, today I’m going to talk about how I am living this situation and what I am doing in my house, and maybe you can take some ideas to do in your house.


We have been locked up one month for the moment, and probably we are going to be another month. I miss lots of things, like my family and my friends, my village, going out… But as I can´t go out, I have to resign myself to making phone calls to my friends and family, and instead of going out to the street, being in my garden. Now, our house is also our street, our school or our workplace, our gym… All the things that we used to do outside or in public spaces, now we have to do them in our houses, like for example studying. We cannot go to high school, so we are doing online classes, studying the lessons on our own, sending the homework by email, or even doing classes by videoconference. Another thing we must do in our house is sport. If you normally do sport in the gym, in the street, with a group, with a personal trainer… Now you can’t, so we must do sports in our house. For example, I have a garden, so sometimes when the weather is good, I play basketball with my family.

Another thing I am doing a lot is talking by phone. I normally do this because I have friends from other cities that I can’t see so we do phone calls.  These days I do it almost every day because we have more time and I can’t see even the ones that live in Soria, so I talk a lot with them and with my family.

You can also start doing new things you have never done or you normally can’t do because you don’t have time, like painting, cooking, reading a book… For example, one thing I wanted to do for a long time, but I didn’t find time is tidying my bedroom, and now I can take time to clean and decorate everything as I want.

Another thing I am doing is listening to new music. I am discovering lots of songs and singers I had never heard before. Moreover, there is something very common that a lot of people are doing, but not in my case because I don’t like it too much, it is watching series or movies. If you like watching series or movies but you don’t usually have time, now you can take advantage of the confinement and do it.

Well, that’s all. I hope you liked it and that it gave you some ideas to avoid being bored, and please, stay at home. Bye!

  4. I liked this article a lot because he or she gives us his or her point of view and I think that it is good to have different points of view of people because now we don't communicate with people as much as we did before, so this is good to see how people are doing during this quarantine.

  5. Thanks for your commentary, I like to see that some people do the same things as me at quarantine. The only thing that I make different is that I watch a lot of films and series. I would have been bored a lot if I hadn't seen them.

  8. At this point I have watched many series that were on my list. I don't really think we can be bored because of the large amount of work we have to submit.

Joker

I have decided that today in my blog I’m going to give my opinion and talk a little bit of one of my favourite movies, which is also one of the best rated movies of this year 2019: JOKER .   The character of the joker is played by the actor Joaquin Phoenix that, in my opinion, makes a brilliant job. He is able to transmit a lot of feelings and also makes you empathize in some parts. Joaquin also lost 28 kilograms to transform himself into the joker, this makes the character and his situation a lot more real.   Talking about the aesthetic of the film; I think that it has a perfect colour range in which the colours represent pretty well the feelings and emotions of the characters. The dark and greyish colours for sadness and the brightest colours for happiness.   The plot of the film gives us details of the Joker’s life that I think are very important to understand who he really is and why he acts the way he does. We can see part of his childhood, we know about his...

Studying in Canada

Hi there, friends! I have been in an exchange semester in Canada. So, here are some of my Canadian experiences as a Spanish student. Canada is divided into 10 provinces. I went to a western province called Alberta. We used 2 flights to get there. Everything started on the 1st of September. I was terrified but very excited for this new experience. We left Madrid in an 8 hours flight to Toronto where we cached our second flight to Calgary. Everything was different. The language, the houses, the culture and even the people. I went to a city called Cochrane. Cities and town were made up with the same small houses all lined in the streets. There were ponds, lakes and lots of roads and highways that crossed them. The first day of school was the 3th. We took the yellow school bus that appears in all American films. The first day was chaotic, lots of information and new things all at once. The second day was pretty difficult too. I went to my 3 courses by myself in very bi...

Quarantine for a dog

Hi! I am Toby, a little puppy. I live in a flat with my mother Kim. Kim is a great human, she plays with me whenever I ask her for and she gives me delicious food. Kim has been more stressed than usual in the last few days, I feel it in our home environment. She goes out fewer times and se takes me on very short walks. Oh, and she spends a lot of time doing her things with that object she calls “computer”. She says it is very important for our money. Actually, I don’t understand that. What does our money have to do with a computer? In my opinion, humans are so obsessed with money. Well, talking about our walks, I want to get out of our home more than ten minutes please! Our walks before were not so brief as now, and I met other dogs in the street, there were a lot of people, we went to unknown but amusing places for me… Now, we just go to the park around the buildings on the opposite sidewalk. The furthest, we have been, was to a little park wit...
