bookstore

Today we went to the bookstore to buy the books that I will be needing for next year in ninth grade. Usually, we order them online but we think that well with the pandemic and everything the books would probably take a long time to arrive and one of those books is my Spanish summer reading. And I need that ASAP so i can finish it without any pressure in terms of time. The good thing is that this year the school said that they were going to be providing us with our math and science textbooks and those are usually the ones that cost the most.

 The bookstore was a bit different than I had expected. I thought that we got to look for the books ourselves and bring to the checkout the ones that we wanted but instead, it was like um a fast food restaurant and we tell them which books we want and they just get them for us. In the end it cost like $300 which is quite a lot, after that we also went to Marshall's and my mom started her shopping. ugh. Anyways, I got so bored I searched up "How to get your parents so stop shopping" but surprisingly there wasn't a match and instead the ones that showed up were how to stop your kids from throwing tantrums in the grocery store. wow. They need to update Google and add that to their data.

 Also, the school sent out an email today informing us that when school starts the kids from grades 9-12, including yours truly will only go to school 2 days per week and take online classes for the rest of the days. They also said that we would have to wear a mask every single day when we do go to school but I wonder how they are going to solve the problem of lunch. I guess my interest is piqued (membean word) at how they overcome this.
