Hey guys so what was your last two weeks like?
Can you believe that spring break was literally just a week ago and I don't
know what did you guys feel when you guys first heard that classes were gonna
be remote and then when you guys found out that the whole semester was cancelled?
>> And had heard from a lot of my friends before I heard from BU because a lot of
other universities canceled before BU did.
I don't know it wasn't the shock of it because I think we all kind of knew it was
coming, but it still was not fun.
>> In the last week, my shocking news wasn't that I have online classes,
my shocking news was on Monday when BU was like we're canceling the residential part
of your study abroad, you have to come back to America.
You have this idea in your head what your college experience is and
what it's going to be and then when it suddenly changes so drastically,
in the course of a few days, it's hard to adjust to that.
>> One thing that I definitely feel like I can say about what BU did was I'm so
thankful they didn't kick us out right away.
Because I can't even imagine what that would have done for so
many students on our campus that may have been struggling with food insecurity or
may have been struggling with financial issues.
Whatever it may be, but I'm thankful that I got to say goodbye
to some friends maybe not all of them but most of them, yeah,
just I really appreciate time a lot more after this.
>> Yeah, it sucks for us too because I feel like we all actually love BU,
being there and being around people, I know there's way bigger reasons for
this stuff too, but that is just something that I honestly thought about too.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm at home right now too and Morgan you're at home, right?
>> Yeah.
>> How's the adjustment been like being at home like,
>> I was prepared to go home but
I wasn't prepared to go home for three to six months.
Both my parents are working from home, so my mom's in the kitchen, I'm in my room,
my dad's in the guest room, we're all kinda scattered in different places to get
our work done, but it's hard to focus if everybody is home all the time.
I'm lucky this semester, both of my design classes are mostly in the computer and
I only really have to go into the studio to print.
But then I'm taking a film photography class, and my teacher's still working out
how to do that because obviously, I can't have a darkroom in my home.
>> Yeah.
[LAUGH] >> I think it'll get easier with classes
and stuff next week and the week after when all of that gets more set in stone
and I can fall back into a routine and not sleep till 3PM every day.
[LAUGH] It'll get a little easier.
>> [LAUGH] But we're also in the middle of a crisis so I think at some level
you have to be gentle with yourself too and be like okay I need a break
from reality right now because reality is high key insane right now.
>> Morgan, I feel like you brought up a good point because I feel like the hardest
thing for me has been getting out of my routine now.
One thing I've been trying to work on and find a sense of normalcy,
again is just like getting outside.
I'm really happy that the friend that I'm gonna be moving in with,
she has a chocolate lab, so it'll be nice to have a dog, yeah, yeah.
[LAUGH] It'll be very very nice have dog round and take her out on walks and
be forced to get outside.
So there are some positive things coming out of this because you have to find
new ways to adjust to what the circumstances are and keep moving forward,
I'm figuring it out.
>> Yeah.
>> But again, hopefully.
>> Yeah.
>> This is one of those crazy shared experiences that is bringing people
together across the whole planet cuz I could talk to people in any country right
now and they'd be like, yeah.
>> Yeah. >> This shit is crazy.
>> It's pretty crazy how this has only been one week and so
much stuff has gone down, it feels like it's such a long time so
it was nice talking to you guys, really appreciated all of this.
There's a bug in my room too but, >> [LAUGH]
>> Ronan go get some sleep I'm sorry for
waking you.
>> I will don't worry.
[LAUGH] >> Bye guys.
>> Thank you.
[CROSSTALK] >> Bye.
>> Bye bye.
