| dc.description.abstract | I became diagnosed with COVID-19 and was ordered to quarantine for two weeks in the spring of 2020. Using autoethnography, this thesis provides a personal illness narrative about my experience with COVID-19. The narrative is structured and explores a timeline of dates and events through journal entries with descriptions of my experience while undergoing quarantine. Themes based on the evolution of my experience emerged from my story: contentment, apprehension, astonishment, seclusion, bewilderment, physical pain, and convalescence. | |
