Fresh out of the shower, Jimmy Sotos plopped into the chair in his bedroom a little before 1 p.m. on Monday as part of what’s become a ritual of sorts.
Unable to take on-campus classes at Bucknell the remainder of the semester due to COVID-19 concerns having shut the campus down, he and the rest of the student body have been relegated to doing everything online. For Sotos, a junior, that means completing his coursework at his Illinois home. At this point, students gotten used to doing their studies online. It feels normal for most, Sotos included.
Monday, though, was a bit different.
