I hate how every time I write something here it's basically just an update on Covid-19, but that's really the only thing I've been paying much attention to other than reading and fanfiction. I've been avoiding going out as much as possible and all of that.
We've started getting cases here again after another (briefer) pause in any new ones. They're all still mostly coming from Tokyo or Osaka, so it doesn't seem to really be spreading around here (yet).
Work is full swing again, with all of our students coming to the school for in-person classes. This week I also taught on Sunday for some kids makeup lessons that they missed when we were closed. It's been nice to see all of them again, but it also means being busier.
I started reading a lot of books while we were closed, and I'm still reading most of them because I have less time now. One of them is a book club book, and I may not finish it before the book club finishes discussing it at the rate I'm going. Fingers crossed though.
That along with writing has been keeping me busy when I'm not at work. I have a fic due in a few days for a fanfiction competition I'm in, so that's definitely keeping me busy. Here's hoping I can also get more of that done before work tomorrow.

Life Post: Long Time No See
Long time no see. I've been saying that to my students a lot lately, and it's fitting here too since I haven't really written anything here since the beginning of May.
Like I mentioned in that post, we reopened but were teaching online classes. A couple of weeks ago, we began teaching some in person classes, and this week we'll finally be teaching all classes in person again.
It's been a bit of a whirlwind, and I've been coping by writing and reading whenever possible. To say that I've been a bit exhausted lately would be an understatement. There's so much going on that just keeping up with the news can be draining.
Since I last posted, the Black Lives Matter movement is being talked about more again, and J.K. Rowling dug her hole even deeper. A lot of my reading recently has been related to those two topics as well, and I've been having a lot of conversations about them as well.
That's everything happening that I can really talk about I think, but there's been a lot happening.
I spent a lot of today tag wrangling over on the AO3. People are still writing a lot of fic due to the pandemic, so the bins are always plentiful. I've also made a lot of progress on writing today, which has been awesome.
Here's to an awesome upcoming week. I can only hope.

Life Post: Back to Work
For about the past month, I've been at home in quarantine after our school closed. I haven't been working, so I've had a lot of free time, but that changes come tomorrow.
We're going to be doing online classes for the month of May, and starting tomorrow, I need to actually go into work in order to learn how to teach the online lessons. (The actual online lessons don't start until next week, and I'll teach those from my house.)
This whole thing is new, so I'm not entirely sure what to expect. It will mean that I have more to do around the house though, and I'm excited to get to talk to my students again even if it's through a computer screen.
Today, has actually been a weird day as far as my brain goes. I slept really well last night but then for some reason could not get out of bed this morning. I think it's the days on end spent at home, but I feel really lazy. For the most part, I've actually been doing a lot. I've written a lot, read a lot, etc., but it's like my brain just doesn't want to do those things anymore.
Going to work tomorrow will probably be extremely good for my brain as will the online classes I think. Here's hoping that everything goes smoothly.
