Casey’s COVID-cation: The Final Blog

This is a sad day; the end of an era, if you will. This is the end of my COVID-cation blogging. I am finally out of my quarantine dorm and back in my old one. This experience has felt like years and days at the same time. My coronavirus (COVID-19) isolation had its ups-and-downs, much like anything in life. I would say the downs definitely outweighed the positives, but that is how these situations tend to go. I think I learned a lot about myself and about others along the way. I learned that I a...

Casey’s COVID-cation: Blogs 11-14

I’m Casey and I just beat the coronavirus (COVID-19). After having been stuck in campus-isolation for about a week, I have just graduated to campus-quarantine. I still need to keep myself sane until I can go home for Thanksgiving, but on the bright side, I do get to experience this quarantine for you so that you can be up to date on protocol, without having to get the virus yourself. I seem to be procrastinating on these blogs as my writing opportunity runs out. I suppose it has something ...

Casey’s COVID-cation: Blog Seven

I’m Casey and I have the coronavirus(COVID-19). I am in campus-isolation and would likely lose my mind if I did not have anything to do. On the bright side, I do get to experience that isolation for you so that you can be up to date on protocol, without having to get the virus yourself. I am still symptom-free today. I am hoping that this keeps up so that I can leave isolation tomorrow and get back outside. I do not think I will be back in my own dorm until after winter break, but it will ...

On the bright side, I do get to experience that isolation for you so that you can be up to date on protocol, without having to get the virus yourself. I have great news to start today’s blog: I am symptom-free, once again. I woke up with no fever and have yet to exhibit any symptoms. I am finally starting to feel normal again. I probably owe this v...

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! My body must have gotten the message that today is unlucky, because I feel worse than I have in days past. My throat hurts and feels as though it is both congested and on f...

Casey’s COVID-cation: Blog Four

It occurred to me that people may come across my blog without having seen the first one and become confused as to why The Montclarion gave me a platform. So, I have decided to give you guys an official opening of sorts. I’m Casey and I have the coronavirus (COVID-19). I am in campus-isolation and would likely lose my mind if I did not have anything to do; but on the bright side, I do get to experience that isolation for you so that you can be up to date on protocol, without having to get t...

Casey’s COVID-cation: Blog Three

Something happened last night that, I think, takes precedence over my own sickness. You hear stories of mothers lifting cars to save their children that are trapped underneath. Wicket’s health took precedence over my own last night. Let me begin this by assuring you that he is completely fine. I did not know it last night, of course, so I was worried sick. As you know, I have anxiety, so my first guess was that he was dying. His grease gland is overactive. I found this out by posting in th...

Casey’s COVID-cation: Blog Two

Remember when I told you guys I have bad luck? It really didn’t like when I told you about being asymptomatic. I now have symptoms. Yesterday evening, I started to run temperatures near the dreaded COVID-19 fever, or 100.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, I am not a doctor, but I think my body is trying to do its best to protect me. My fever has been fluctuating between 99.5 and 100.7 F throughout all of yesterday and today. I have also developed some dizziness, my throat is itchy and I am pretty ...
