Well, that is in the quarantine…

As soon as my 14 days were gone, sun was replaced by British weather and it did not stop raining until two weeks later. Despite the rain, I went to the town centre to enjoy my freedom. I swore that I will go to hall only in case of need and on special occasions and I will cook for myself. I therefore bought necessary food, a pot, and some other equipment that I could not bring from home.

At the beginning of October, the anti-covid measures were not as drastic as in the Czech Republic. They reminded us the most to keep the “rule of six” – groups of six people from two households maximum. Households were created from students who share the kitchen (or gyp, as they call it here). There are 8 people in my household, including me. Luckily, we get along very well, so I am not so disappointed that they are almost the only people I see regularly.

At the beginning of November, the government introduced more precautions and a lockdown. Some students were thankful for it, because they could go home for Christmas and some were complaining that they would rather not go home and see their friends more during this term. However, everyone wish for the situation to get better and to return to “normalcy” as soon as possible.
