32358: Easter in lockdown

online resource
posted on 2023-12-08, 21:32 authored by Lockdown2020 and Beyond Project

I found it disconcerting, at first, how my sense of time seemed to warp under lockdown. Despite the worrying headlines, being together with my whole family at home made it feel oddly like Christmas. Squaring this psychologically with my preparations for finals was difficult. None of the usual rituals that would have marked the passing of Trinity Term - and the end of my degree - were possible to recreate in any real way. It was hard enough keeping track of the days of the week. Walking daily in the area around my home did turn into a kind of routine, though. I also found myself appreciating more than before the subtle changes in the countryside as we moved into summer.
