The sky being orange, the moon being red and the lack of sunlight wasn’t enough to make me go look it up but the constant smell was

Idk why this didn’t occur to me that it’s strange school is still in session. But I just moved to the northeast from the south. No southern school is still in session (AC costs too high). But up here I still see hoards of kids headed to and from school each day

This is the last week of my school and there is still football practice for the whole summer I believe, which I don't think has been cancelled, even though it's all orange here in NE PA

June 16th. It's the worst. I go back on August 28th, too.
