First year has been cut short. Classes cancelled, events cancelled, plans cancelled, and work cancelled. Friday morning I woke up, got ready, and hopped on the TTC bus on my way to class. During the little above-ground gap between Broadview and Castle Frank station on Line 2, I got a notification saying my class had been cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns. I went home initially excited that classes were cancelled; ‘I wont have to commute and can stay home all day!’ That excitement quickly vanished come Monday when I realized I would never physically go to class again, the year was over. Students are getting kicked off campus and everyone is now instructed to stay home, it’s terrifying. We truly don’t know what the next few weeks are going to bring us and the best thing we can do is stay inside. I feel hopeless. First year may have been cut short, but I just wish for the general population to abide to any government issued statements so the thrill of a new decade wont be cut short. I still have hope for summer 2020.
