Note: Thank God Spring Break's next week...

 

Well, week five of the semester is upon me...

Under the dimmed light of our dining room chandelier, Mom and I sat across from each other with various maps and weather forecasts pulled up on our phones and laptops. I studied them with an intense scowl. I wasn’t quite liking what I was seeing. 

Note: At least this semester isn’t focused on public speaking or Harry Potter. 

Roughly two-and-a-half years ago, as the pandemic was really starting to take off, civil unrest sparked by economic ruin and police brutality (among many other things) hit every major city in the country, and social media was full of the worst takes on the situations known to man posted by people I loved and revered, I decided to wipe my existence off the internet with no plans of returning.
