Life was crazy already when the latest trend of online classes added to the agony. Entire day gets consumed by the Zoom meetings, Google classrooms, presentations and the long list of online teaching materials.
As a mother and a teacher she found it overwhelming at times. This is not what she wants or is used to. Being Adaptive towards her surrounding is what she learnt from childhood but this time she felt choked. She wanted to breathe.
During an intermittent break she discovered a new way of dealing with her predicament. Self mockery, buffoonery in front of the camera made her relax. The camera acted as a catalyst in her overcoming the ennui, the oppression of online classes.
One funny selfie shot gave her a way to deal with it. Various other selfies followed and classes became interesting and fun. Teaching was fun again and so was studying. Using technology to get over the weariness created by technology... Yes that's how she dealt with it. The students loved it too!
Moral of the story- Never let the boredom, monotony climb up on your head and sit on your psyche. You are your own master. If you are willing enough, you are bound to find avenues to entertain yourself at the harshest of times.
If online classes made life crazier, she decided to be the craziest. That was her way to deal with it and maintain sanity in the chaos she was into.
She is me 🥰
