Since March 2020, I have been shifted to online school learning. It was a tough time since the quarantine time has been going on for a while.
Computer programming has moved into online learning as well. Although I am used to meeting people in real life and learn in person, online learning is fine as long as the material is comprehensible on my own. But in truth, online learning has made me feel more depressed than before. I am introvert, so it’s kind of hard for me to communicate with people already, and know that everyone has to stay home, my communication skill has been decreasing. However, I believe that being depressed wouldn’t help, so I usually just spent a lot of time on work on other things to forget my negativity. However, stress only makes you stress, but it’s stressful to avoid stress, so you end up stressing out anyways. In the end, there’s nothing you can do.
Online learning has both it’s effectiveness and ineffectiveness. It can help people sleep more and not use the time they usually use to transit to university. It has an even more ineffective part than effective. It makes people lazy, sometimes internet issues caused the stream to not even work, the professor’s mic could be bad and possibly forget about the school work that is needed to submit. I wish in-person learning come back faster. Right now, online learning is indeed making me lazy.
For this term, all I can do is stop being lazy and work on practice to get better at the course materials. I am always stuck in questions in exercise, and I feel extremely useless, which is why I need to push myself. As for all of you who are reading my blog, let me give tips for you and myself. If you feel yourself hitting a limit, remember for what causes you to be here. Remember why you started down this path, and let that memory carry you beyond your limit.
