my school routine (in-person school with corona)
i wanted to make a post about how i deal with having risk group parents (and not exactly the best lungs myself) while having to go to school with no online option. because of my parents, bringing corona home would be the worst thing i could do, so i try to be as safe as possible. of course, i’m not perfect, and i keep trying to make better habits. but for the time being, this is how i deal with in-person school.
i tie my hair up so it can’t fall in my face. viruses can stick to hair easily and if it gets in your face later, you could be infected (although the chances are low). recently i’ve been doing french braids or a top knot.
my school doesn’t require masks in classrooms, but i barley take mine off all day. because of this i only do half my makeup :)
i only take my mask off to eat a little bit (no finger food!) or drink from my water bottle. if i can, i do that by an open window and away from other people.
i enforce the rules (open windows, masks worn properly when they’re mandatory, etc.)
i disinfect my desk when i get into a new classroom (i have to get better at remembering to do this)
i don’t touch my face at all and the desk, door handles, etc. only when i have to
i keep a distance as much as i can. it’s not always possible but i try.
i keep my head up when people tell me i’m hysterical for being careful :)
this is where it gets real.
i don’t think i really need to say this but as soon as i get in the door, i wash my fucking hands.
i get a disinfectant wipe (make sure it’s not just for bacteria!) and wipe down any of my school supplies which are plastic. (viruses don’t really stay on paper)
and my phone (!), keys,,, anything i touched before washing my hands
i wipe down the door handle, faucet, anything i touched while entering
i wash my hands again because i touched my schoolt things before i disinfected them
my clothes go straight in the laundry
glasses, jewlery etc. are taken off and disinfected (i keep forgetting about my glasses)
makeup gets tf off (also i wash my face)
i shower and wash my hair (if i can’t for some reason, it stays up and i make sure not to lay down or get it on anything)
i get into other clothes, usually stuff i don’t really like
if i have to stay how i was at school because i have somewhere i absolutely need to be later, i don’t shower until the evening and make sure not to sit anywhere i can’t disinfect (no sofa for me)
rinse and repeat the next day :)
i don’t know if this has any purpose whatsover for anyone, but i wanted to write it down. if anyone who’s in a similar situation sees this, i hope it was useful!
please don’t bully me for being very cautious, i get enough of that from my friends.
