 These past two Saturdays have been the first two games for the Edmonton Elks since the teams last game in November of 2019. I didn't realize how much I missed going to a Football game until I got to go to one on the 7th. It was one of the biggest things that Covid took away from us, and I'm very glad that it's back. This got me thinking about other things that Covid took away from me. It didn't take many things, mostly school and Kung Fu, but those mean a lot to me. So while Covid didn't take away many things, it actually took a lot. Kung Fu was the first thing to "come back", as we started online classes right away and got back in person during the Summer of 2020. Although school technically came back after a few weeks, it didn't really feel like a true ending to Grade 9 for me. We didn't do the PAT's though, so that is an upside. When I started in person Grade 10 in August of last year, it felt great, it felt like everything was starting to get back on track. And finally, football came back. I've only missed a handful of home games, so going 21 months in between home games really felt odd. I'm glad these three things are back in my life, as they all mean so much to me. But with the fourth wave and the Delta Variant coming, I feel that some of these might be taking another break fairly soon.
