The unexpected salvation
It's so boring staying home during the pandemic. I'm not a big fan of going out, but even for me these restrictions are hard to bear. That's why, as the media say, people violate the quarantine rules and try to catch some spring light and fresh air.
I'm quite lucky in terms of my job. Lots of people are losing their jobs and incomes right now. As for me, I thank God for suggesting that I start teaching students online actively a year ago. Back then, I had returned to Russia from my American trip and not having had any theater work (the season was nearly over) I decided to expand my language teaching practice. Since then I've accumulated a pretty good number of strategies and acquired a fairly broad range of clients. Italki was the first language exchange site I worked with, whilst today I successfully work with a few of them.
My theater colleagues have probably suffered a lot, since this industry was hit by the initial quarantine measures. Life always jokes with us and what was bad or uncomfortable yesterday can become a salvation tomorrow.
