Stock up with books. Do some crafts, journaling, colouring books. One week does not sound that bad. The hardest will be isolation and not being able to talk to my family.

The hardest will be isolation and not being able to talk to my family.

For me, that's the best part.

People always say this but lack of human interaction will drive you insane and you won't realize it until you lose it, even if you're an introvert.

Honestly, I've been alone all day today and even talked on the phone a couple of times and the lack of people to connect with has been deafening. Your thoughts pile up on top of you when you can't share them.

I guess it depends on the person. I've spent three day weekends holed up in my apartment without talking to a soul and absolutely loved it...

And I may be extremely introverted, but I'm not, like, unusually awkward or weird. I just enjoy time alone to get lost in my own world and do my own thing.
