I was a couple of months into a Jan to Dec postgraduate degree programme at university when it started.

My university was able to quickly move things around and convert everything to a completely online programme. So I spent my time alternating between worrying about covid properly breaking out in my country and doing uni work. In some ways I am jealous that others got a couple of months of free time to do whatever they wanted while I was busy writing essays.

But I should be thankful that due to the "hard and fast" response of my country that I was able to go on holiday up to the mountain towns and visit most of the sulphur hot pools. Plus my focus at university allowed me to get excellent grades and allowed me to score a good job in my new career.
