Year Twenty Twenty (Too old too old) AND Covid Hit Hard Globally

2020 was going to be a wonderful, exciting and challenging year for my last year of schooling. Unfortunately Covid19 added too much disruptions and had started lots of unprecedented practices. Learning and teaching had to be conducted online in mid March to April. Lots of school functions needed to be cancelled as social distancing among humans has become a 'new normal'. No hug and but elbow hit,
Living in Perth is definitely much better than in the Eastern States such as Melboure which experienced more than 100 days of lockdown. Also, this was the my first time ever to realise the drastic difference in making policy by different States.
Let me run a timeline for this very unprecedented year.
 
January 3rd - Got my driving licence
7th - 12th In Bali Canggu Holiday (click to see photos and Diary)
13th -17th ECU Movie Making Course
28th Year 12 School Ball
Mum could not believe the amount of time, effort and expenses required for this event but for many it could be a once and life time thing to dress up as such. I am really pleased to see the stunning looks of my friends.
February Tuesday and Friday pm work at Ma Ma Fish and Chip's shop on High Road, Riverton

3rd - School Starts

March 25th March online teaching Covid 19 was getting out of control in most places around the world.
We played almost all types of games around the house to entertain ourselves.
Fish and chips shop decided to close to avoid any covid 19.

April Did some exercise via online program offered by the local Council.
27th April - School resumes as Week 1 but no parents are allowed on the campus apart from dropping off and picking up. I was very annoyed with the change as I was starting to get into the mode of online learning. Mum and I expressed our likes and dislikes for studying/working from home. 

May 12th - Fish and Chips re-opened for business Lots of Tests 

June Semester one Examinations on 5 of my ATAR subjects - 8th, 9th, 10th , 12th and 15th 

July Camping at Sandy Cape with Claire's family 

August Year 12 school retreat became a one day event from 7:30am to 9:30pm 

September I finally got around to submit my visual arts project. Don't ask me how many hours I have put in and how many times I have disagreements with my mum. But after all, she put this together    

Lots of tests, not much sleep October WACE Mock Examination - 5th, 7th, two exams on 9th and 12th, very exhausted. 

October 22nd - Graduation Assembly and Mass
November Five ATAR examinations 4th, 5th, 9th, 13th and 18th - I am done, what a relieve, examination is a torture and corrupts ones' brain to force memorizing things we might not need need and not interested. happy as there are subjects I don't want to study anymore.
