How has Covid19 impacted your life

We still haven't get rid of Covid19 and it's now 100% certain that we won't have till the start of the new year. In Greece, we are in quarantine since November. It was supposed to be till the end of November but they extended it to 14 of December!

They also announced that they won't let us travel outside of our city for Easter....yeah you heard correctly, for Easter and they announced it these days...By now you know how much concerned i am regarding the impact that Covid has on businesses and people's lives.

I have already made 3 posts regarding the matter that you can find below in case you haven't read or simply you are interested and see for yourselves what's the situation in Greece

This post was "inspired" after reading @mindtrap's post about how deeply he got affected by Covid19 in Greece. He is a well-known Lion around here and a firm believer of the platform, you all know him i bet.

That's why i wanna hear your stories about how much you got affected by Covid19 and what impact had on your lives!

Impact in My Life

To tell you the truth Covid19 impacted my life but not so much as others, so i can't complain. I will just share my story and leave you to decide about the impact!

To begin with, at the beginning of 2020, i sat in my comfortable chair and set my goals for the rest of the year. Note that i have to join the mandatory army in Greece, something that i had and have postponed for a long time now.

So i said to myself "you gonna enlist at the start of 2021 pretty boy" but before that, you will study hard in order to pass the exams of the Japanese N4 which is in December 2020 and you will take part in a volunteer program that is related to your business studies!

when i make plans not god, the whole universe laughs

I quickly found a volunteer job in a Tedx event that should have taken place in November and my Japanese studying was doing quite well for my standards. At the same time, i said to myself, to start looking for a job, once again relevant to my studies.

Then Covid19 said Hello Greece

At first, we didn't really understand what was going on, so everything continued as it was, people were out, cafeterias were full of people and then the first quarantine came and after it a series of strict measures!

The impact those had in my life was as follows: The Japanese lessons were constantly changing because, one week we were in the class, the next via skype and so on, so my study rhythm slowed a lot!

The TEDx event was postponed for March 2021 and a couple of days ago they also announced that the Japanese exams won't take place this year but we have to wait till July or depending on the people, next December.

As far as it concerns the job search, i couldn't find anything related to my studies and how could i? Many companies are firing people, others went bankrupt, i could only find jobs at storage facilities and such in which i would basically carry things and sort them out!

So now i don't know what to do regarding the army, should i go in 2021 or postpone it a little bit more (either way, i postpone it till the end of 2021). It literally feels like i lost one year of my life.

On a bright site one month ago i came back to the crypto world in which i dedicate time equal to a part or full-time job depending on the days. Not that i earn money equivalent to even a part-time job, but it's something long term in my eyes!

Let's make it Interesting
