A lot of things have been going on lately. It is hard to travel for the summer because of the virus, and my summer vacations have been altered. Originally, my family was supposed to go to Europe for the summer. Then we changed our plans to go to Maine, but learned that visitors going there would have to self isolate for 14 days. Now, we are planning to go to upstate New York. Summer camps are also being forced to close or go online. Everything around us is being changed and updated, and while some places are reopening, others are extending quarantine.

I wonder what school will be like in September, and whether it will be able to reopen. I hope that school can return back to normal by next year, but nothing seems certain for now. Life in quarantine is becoming the new normal for me, and I can’t remember what it was like to go to school.
