In this week, we have to stop our offine courses and switch to onlice courses. What's more, we did a lot of nucleic acid tests to ensure our physical health. However, under so many tests and strict management, I felt physically and mentally tired. I would like to have lessons in the classroom and interact with my teachers, which will improve my study efficiency. I want to be able to go out and enjoy my free time, rather than face the heavy curriculum at school all the time, which made me feel very depressed. Today, I wear a wristband with smiling face and I hope it can make me happy. Hopefully the pandemic will end soon.

I haven't been to a church service since things opened back up. There are still too many people in attendance. Since cases are surging, I am cautious about exposing myself to a large group of people. While I am grateful for Zoom and livestreaming, there is much that I miss about weekly worship. My small group changed the meeting time, and I can barely get home in time. I am not singing as much. I miss Communion. The communal aspect of my faith is a core component. This is the second Advent season that we haven't had daily reflections at work. I looked forward to how other workers integrated their faith and work with the readings from the Lectionary. There is a different feel to the week. I feel that just as m personal circle shrunk, so too has worship. I find that I have to turn to more solitary practices of faith.
