Quaranteened

[thunderclap] [piano music] - Good evening, Durham Public School family.

Durham Public Schools will be closed in response to COVID-19.

- The longer I am without social interaction, like, outside of the house, the less social I'm going to be when quarantine ends, and I feel like not being able to talk to anybody or, like, without friends.

- (SINGING) Happy birthday-- - To realize how quickly a life that you are living can come to an end, it was really like-- [snaps] - Good morning.

- [yawns] - [laughs] - Good evening, Durham Public School families.

As we shared yesterday, Durham Public Schools will be closed beginning on Monday, March 16 in response to COVID-19.

At this time, we will be closed until Friday, April 3.

We're in close contact with public health officials and will continually evaluate the situation.

- This has been one of the very few events in my life that's been like, boom!

Now, your life is different.

So that was like-- it's definitely been like a crazy first experience.

- Well, it seemed like it wasn't-- it was far away, so it wouldn't come near us.

It wouldn't happen.

We could continue school.

I was going into the fifth grade.

Next year, I was going to graduate and happy-- happy, happy.

But no.

- I think all of us thought when we found out we were getting out of school that it was going to be a fun three-week break, that we would just get to come home and relax, and we would have some work.

And then we would come back, and we'd be like ready to end the year.

And we'd be able to see our friends.

And then we got home, and everything was different.

- I mean, we could be in quarantine for another month.

That could be like three months.

It could be until December, because they keep talking about how corona's going to come back in the cold.

And that's stressing me out, too, because I don't want to do this again.

[solemn music] [piano music] - In the future, we all had face masks on.

And I was like a mom, and I had a little kid.

And he was like four or five, and like, if you took them off, they'd kill you.

And I was in the park with my kid, and he took his mask off.

And the way that they'd kill you if you took your mask off in public was they'd line up all the people who took their masks off, and then they just shoot them, like firing squad.

And he was like-- all of them were super tall.

And then he was like-- because he was four-- so he was really short.

And they were just like, so it's like.

Then he'd go down, and then it'd start up again.

And they shot them all.

And then I woke up, like as he got shot.

And I was crying.

It was-- like I woke up crying.

And it was really, really depressing.

So that was the most intense one, I think, I've had.

- If you're going to be in quarantine, then you have to, like, suck it up.

You have to be able to know that you're not probably going to see your friends.

And if you want to see them, then you're probably, like, you shouldn't see them so that this is all over.

But it looks like it's getting bigger.

So-- - I think we all were told that it wouldn't affect young people.

So we were all fine.

Like I saw a thing that was like-- we're reacting to this as old people react to climate change.

Like I don't think that it affects them, so why not bother?

So we were all pretty happy, just like we were going to get time off school.

But now, I've read stuff that says that young people can die, and that it affects them.

So that's made me more anxious to leave the house, because I think I'm at a higher risk now.

- Does she still say-- oh, no.

No, no, no.

- This is-- - Oh my gosh!

- It's different, because usually, my anxieties are about diseases that I can't really control, like cancer.

Like right now, I could have it, and there's no way that I know that.

Corona is a little different, because it's a virus.

So there are things I know I can do to at least decrease my chance.

[whirring] - Look away, look away.

Ahh!

I don't want to see it.

- I don't-- I like her.

- Me, too.

- I don't want her to die.

- She's like the only woman scientist in this whole thing, and they're going to kill her off?

Oh, I see how it is.

- I think I'm sick.

- What?

What's going on?

What kind of symptoms do you have?

- I can't swallow, severe headache.

- What's your temperature?

- 101.8, definitely infected other people.

- You don't know that.

What should I do?

- Well, I want you to stay in your room, and I'll-- I'll call the people at the health department.

I'll tell them that you're in there.

Just-- you're going to be OK. - No, I-- know.

I know.

- Emmeline!

- What?

- There's so many Ns and Os!

- Yeah, I know.

- Wait, what?

- What have you done?

- [laughs] - What have we done?

- [laughs] - Look at the chat.

- [laughs] - It is not funny.

- All right.

I'm leaving the breakout room.

- Breakout!

[chattering] - I'm sorry.

The practice I think today to everybody-- look great in class.

But you did an awesome job.

So if you had a 1 originally-- you know, it's a must.

- Exactly.

Because outside [inaudible].

- We started at 10 o'clock.

- Hm, baby.

- Bye, I love you all.

- Bye.

- I love you.

- Not me, though.

[inaudible] - No.

[piano music] - I definitely had always had a very like-- I don't know, maybe like a traditional view about loss and mourning.

I was like-- that's like death.

That's like a childhood home.

That's what loss and mourning is.

Like that is a con-- that's a concrete thing to mourn.

So I think that what I did learn about was the idea of being in mourning for a whole life.

That was a little bit disturbing, I would say, to realize how quickly a life can come-- not like a life, like a human life, but like a life that you are living, can come to an end, because that was extremely quickly.

It was really like one day, this was my life.

One day, I had my grocery store, and my friends, and my job, and class.

And that was like an entire little life that I was leading.

And it came to an end, I mean, really in a second.

And that was like pretty startling to realize, that that was something that could happen.

[ominous music] [chattering] - I don't know how we go to school every day.

- I don't know-- - Like if someone was like, we're going back to school tomorrow, I couldn't do it.

- Oh, I'm just like, I'm winning.

- I don't know how to deal with it.

I sometimes think of the energy that I did.

I was working from 9:00 to 4:00.

- Yeah.

- And then I would come home and work for, like, six hours.

I don't know how I did that.

- Mine was not that bad.

I worked from 9:00 to 4:00.

And then I would come home and work two to three hours.

- Yeah, I don't-- - One to three hours.

I mean-- - And then they were yelling at us about like SATs and AP exams.

- I feel so bad for all the seniors.

I mean, they're missing their prom.

- I know.

- Imagine they-- some of them might not have gone to junior prom.

- I know a friend-- I have a friend who didn't do that.

And she's like, I'm going this year, but didn't go last year.

And now, she doesn't get one.

- That's so sad.

I would just-- oh my god.

- So my piano teacher has students that worked for their senior recital for four years.

- Oh my god.

- And they don't get to do it, basically.

- I feel like-- - That's awful.

- I feel like that would drive some people to actually kill themselves.

Like if I had worked on some pieces for four years-- - I know!

- --I did not get to perform, I would just-- - I know.

- --right then in there-- - I don't know.

- --whatever you do.

- That's so disappointing.

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it would-- - I get my worth from school.

So if I get an A, then I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

And that's how I gauge how well I'm doing at life.

So I've had that taken from me.

So now, I really don't know, which is maybe why I'm doing piano more, because that's something I can get worth from.

But I feel a little bit like I don't know what I should do for myself.

[piano music] - I feel like the longer I am without social interaction, like outside of the house, the less social I'm going to be when quarantine ends, and I feel like I may end up coming back to school not being able to talk to anybody or without friends.

So I feel like if I would-- like the hole I would fall into would be one of like not talking to anybody, just like kind of cutting myself off.

[thunder rumbling] Sometimes, I'll be falling asleep, and I-- basically, it's like I get tired, and I'm almost asleep.

And then the thought will pop in my head, and then my eyes open, and then I'm thinking about that.

What am I going to do next year?

What?

I need to learn how to write a rhetorical analysis essay in the, like, the next week-- all the worst case scenario.

What if I'm doing the exam and my Wi-Fi goes out, and then I can't submit?

No.

- It's 10:00 in the morning.

It's time to get up, and do your homework.

- I had a dream that me, and Val, and Kayleigh stole the van [laughs] because we wanted to leave the house, because we were sick of being inside all the time.

For us, standardized testing starts in third grade.

And as soon as that happened, I think-- I think that's where it started.

You start being told that you're a percentile, and you're told, oh, you're in the 97th percentile.

All that means is you beat 97% of people, like that's all a percentile means.

And it became about, let's get your percentile a little higher.

Like all that means is, we want you to beat more people.

Like it's never going to be just about you anymore.

It's going to be about you compared to other people.

And I think that's really toxic.

- Hey, kiddo.

- I already got all the ones out there.

- I'm sure you did get all the ones out there.

- All right.

- No.

Kayleigh's the one who'd want to go into that one there.

- Oh!

I got this one.

- That's I called it.

- Emmy, did you really get all the ones out here?

- Oh my god-- - Oh, somebody did get that one.

We forgot Bella can reach.

- What did you forget about me?

Hello?

- Yellow beans.

All right.

I'm done.

- It's the perfect gift for someone who would immediately know which albums all of the references of the book from.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Wow.

OK. Last one.

- Last one.

As for your dad, he really believes in practical gifts.

And so this is something you can really use during a-- - Wow.

[laughs] - Oh my god.

- Toilet paper.

[laughter] - Oh, wow, with the tag.

- With the price tag on it.

- You don't have to share that with Kayleigh.

You can keep it in your bedroom.

- Oh, yes.

- Mm-hmm.

- This is mine.

- If you're still struggling with consent, just imagine instead of initiating sex, you're making them a cup of tea.

You say, hey, would you like a cup of tea?

And they go, oh my god, á*á*á*á* yes I would á*á*á*á*á*á* love a cup of tea Thank you.

Then you know they want a cup of tea.

If you say, hey, would you like a cup of tea?

No, I kind of-- Yeah, I'm not really sure.

Then you could make them a cup of tea or not.

But be aware, they might not drink it.

And if they-- - You can't be mad.

- --don't drink it, then-- and this is the important part, don't make them drink it.

Just because you made it, doesn't mean you are entitled to-- - Just because we made it, doesn't mean we're entitled to-- - --say, no, thank you, then don't make them tea at all.

If someone said yes to tea, started drinking it, and then passed out before they'd finished it, don't keep on pouring it down their throat.

- Oh, yeah!

That's nas-- oh, I'm sorry.

That's-- - Because unconscious people don't want tea.

- No.

- Trust me on this.

Whether it's tea or sex, consent is everything.

And on that note, I'm going to go make myself a cup of tea.

- Oh, yeah!

[laughter] - He says, I'm going to go make myself a cup of tea.

I feel kind of bad laughing.

- Oh, wait-- the teapot is a-- - I was never completely sure.

Because it's like-- well, I think the tea is like the sex.

But like, you're making the tea means you're putting on the condom I guess, taking the birth control pills.

- I don't think that's what it means.

[laughs] - Well, I don't want to think about what else it can mean.

So I don't know.

It was a process.

- Privileged Americans have not been dealing with this well.

They really have not been dealing with this life-changing moment well.

They're like, if you don't-- if you make me wear a mask in Costco, I'm going to kill myself.

And it's, like, you need to check yourself really quick sir.

So that's been a little disappointing.

I mean, I don't know what I expected.

- And people not paying attention to it, like thinking that nothing's going on right now, is the stupidest thing I've ever heard, because people need to pay attention to things like this, because they need to know that this is happening right now.

Like it's weird for someone to just say, oh, nothing's happening right now, when there's a giant virus outside of your door.

It's incredible how people think about things.

[rain pouring] - I hope it does flood.

- Good morning.

- [mumbles] - Today is your-- - Chemistry exam.

I think my heart was beating fast the whole night, though.

I don't know what day it happened or what year, but some time, we went from we're learning harder things, and we're in AIG because we need harder academic challenges to we deserve to be given this.

And we're better than the other kids because of it.

And it made me start thinking about just the whole education system as a whole and how it affected all of us mentally in how we thought about ourselves and how we thought about others.

If you go back to the beginning, you realize that in elementary school, with AIG, they took us out of class.

When we came back into the classroom, we felt like we were above the other kids, because we were learning different things.

And we were reading books that they didn't get to learn.

And we started thinking that not only were we learning different things from them, but we were also better than them because of that.

Oh.

I can't imagine how the other kids felt.

Like they watched us leave every day, and they knew that the reason they weren't leaving with us was because they didn't deserve it, and that they weren't as smart.

And like that must do horrible things to self-confidence.

Looking back, it's kind of sickening to think that I felt like that, because it's-- like there's no-- there's no redeemable thing about thinking that.

It's just bad.

There's no good side to thinking like that.

I guess that's the definition of insidious, right?

Like it creeps in, and you don't realize until it's there.

[MUSIC - THE BEATLES, "THIS BOY"] THE BEATLES: This boy, this boy.

- 10 minutes.

Ugh.

[ominous music] Doing the math, they start this in kindergarten, like let's be honest, so that's when I'm five.

So it's 12 years now that I've been fed this.

[piano music] [thuds] [piano music] [thuds] [piano music] [thuds] No, no, no.

I don't-- I need a break.

I can't go on doing that anymore.

Well, thank you.

[whirring] - [laughs] --to laugh at us.

Here we go.

- [humming] - Yeah, gently.

- And make it flat.

- Hmm.

- You have to drape it over.

[gasps] Oh my god, it's perfect.

- Hold on.

Let me do this corner.

It's a tiny little bit that goes inside the ear.

God, I wish they would just show us.

Yeah, they did the inside of the ears with gold.

But I don't like that.

I want to do it with pink.

- [gasps] Oh my god, we got it together.

[mumbles] All right.

Can I-- - OK. All right.

So now let's figure out-- quit eating the fondant.

For the-- - Why don't we have this?

[laughs] - Oh, yeah, no.

- OK. Y'all can make some nice sandwiches with some salami.

- No, I'm just going to eat this.

- You sort of squeeze down and then push, and it makes that little shape.

- Ow!

My finger.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

All right.

Try that.

Good.

That's right.

- It's beautiful, Mama!

We're doing so better than all the other people.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Actually, the only real person in, like, the Old Testament and the New Testament is Satan, because-- - Oh my god.

- Because he-- - We love jokes.

- No.

He was because-- he was like, who the heck do you think you are to tell me what to do?

I do what I want.

- So are you saying Jesus isn't real but Satan is?

- Yes, that is a hot take.

- What do you mean by real in this way?

Do you mean he is the most believable?

- Like he's the most believable, yeah.

- I find Satan to be very believable character.

I mean, I just related to him so much.

- (SINGING) Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Emmeline.

Happy birthday to you.

(WHISPERING) Go for it.

- Whoa!

- Sorry, Cat.

You got some back blow over you.

- Oh, poor Cat.

- I'm 10.

- She's a decade old.

- A whole decade.

- She's in the double digits club.

- Not yet.

- A whole decade.

Is that crazy?

- On Thursday, 10:53 AM.

- She still won't be a teenager.

- I've never said she was a teenager.

- I'm a tween.

- You are a tween!

- I'm a tween.

- She is a tween.

Yeah, hi, you're a tween from 10 to-- from 10 to 12.

- All right.

Who wants the eye?

I'll take the eye.

- All right.

So Em, let's remember that the pieces need to be fairly-- - [gasps] - --thin, because-- here.

- I want a very small piece.

- Because, honey, remember this is a three-layer cake.

- I know.

Oh my gosh.

Who wants?

[tinkling] - Kayleigh.

- Sorry.

That was an accident.

- You're ruining the moment.

- Sorry.

I'm sorry.

[upbeat music] [waves rolling] - Oh, this is cute.

- Mm!

- Yay!

- Goal!

[gushing water] - Are you OK?

I'm sorry.

That was a little-- - Oh my god.

This could be-- - Hi!

Oh.

Hug?

Hug.

- [laughs] You should lift me up.

Oh my god.

[pops] - I mean, I'm bored.

[laughs] Which is, yeah, it's definitely a privilege.

I'm not like, where's my next meal coming from?

Am I going to get evicted?

So that's a blessing.

But I am bored.

Without-- I am-- I am bored.

So that's a con, that really is my big con.

Any other con falls under that con, the fact that I'm bored.

[ticking] - Oh, I am extremely bored.

I bowled houses.

I don't know what to do.

I played with every single toy I have.

I have gone insane.

Sometimes, I even bang my head on the wall.

Everything I have is dead.

[laughs] [breathing hard] Yeah, I don't know.

Boredom gets the best of me mostly.

Is that bug inside or outside of the window?

Never mind.

Any more questions?

[MUSIC - JOHN TRAVOLTA, OLIVA NEWTON JOHN, "SUMMER NIGHTS"] Cute as can be.

Summer days drifting away to uh, oh those summer nights.

Oh well.

- (SINGING) Oh well, oh well.

Tell me more.

Tell me more.

Did you get very far?

- (SINGING) Tell me more.

Tell me more.

Like does he have a car?

Uh-huh, uh-huh, - (SINGING) Ba-doop.

- (SINGING) Uh-huh.

- (SINGING) Ba-doop.

- (SINGING) Uh-huh.

- (SINGING) By me, she got a cramp.

- (SINGING) He ran by me, got my suit damp.

- (SINGING) I saved her life, she nearly drowned.

- (SINGING) He showed off, splashing around.

Summer sun-- - (SINGING) Something's begun.

But, uh, oh, those summer nights.

Oh, well, oh, well.

- (SINGING) Tell me more.

Tell me more.

First sight.

- (SINGING) Tell me more.

Tell me more.

Did she put up a fight?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

- (SINGING) Do-bi-doo, do-bi-doo.

[barking] - What is going on?

- My eyes.

[coughs] [screaming] - Why won't it open?

- Grab my mask, please!

- [coughs] - I can't breathe.

- What was that?

- She's making simple syrup.

- Oh.

- It's burning sugar.

[screams] - I just want to [inaudible].

- Oh my gosh.

- I, like-- I, like, can't breathe.

- We just got an email about trying to get the fire departments to not have to come to people's houses.

- Where are you?

You left your burning-- you left your sugar on the stove.

It's destroyed, and the kitchen smells like somebody was roasted alive.

- It's fine.

It's fine.

Seriously.

It looks weird, but it's not going to explode.

Want to sing to the Sound of Music?

- I don't think this is supposed to happen.

- No, definitely not.

- I can't breathe.

- OK. Kayleigh-- - OK. - Oh my god, they literally almost killed us.

- I told you it smells like-- - We were like-- - I said it smelled like something's burning.

- Look at this smoke.

- Is it still bubbling?

Eww.

It looks like something like-- demented.

- It's burnt sugar.

It's burnt brown sugar.

- Really?

I'm scared.

- I don't-- - What she last say?

- I couldn't really hear her.

She just said, oh my god.

And I was like, it's fine.

We almost died, but you're OK. - Nobody died.

There was nothing on fire.

- Oh my god.

Should we take it outside maybe?

I don't know.

- It's easier to just to throw it away.

- Who wants to lick it?

- I'll do it.

- All right.

[laughs] - It's like-- let me find a non-- like-- the popping kind of freaks me out.

OK. Oh my god.

It tastes like burnt.

Ehh-- - Eww.

It tastes like burnt.

Can't believe I did it.

- Oh, wait.

I hear them?

- Come in and lick it.

- Lick that part.

- We both licked it.

- Lick it.

You touched your tongue to it.

- Oh.

Crocodiles tend to live in saltwater habitats while alligators hang out in freshwater marshes and lakes.

So are they in the ocean?

- None of them are in the ocean.

Stop.

- Saltwater.

- No.

- OK. Do you know what, I'm not afraid-- - Saltwater habitat.

- You know what I'm not a fan of is sharks that are now moving into lakes.

- No, no.

- I have a-- I have dreams about sharks.

- I hate sharks so bad.

- I think because I had this book when I was little-- - I used to fear them so bad.

- --that was like about people having getting attacked by sharks.

And it was like their story of how they survived.

It would be like, they had to swim to the beach with like a missing limb.

And it's-- just it's terrifying.

- I-- sharks.

OK, I hate sharks.

But I kind of enjoy shark B-movies.

- I don't.

I've never watched Jaws.

I never will watch Jaws.

- Jaws is such a good movie, though.

- Although, is it like fake-looking?

I can handle it if it's fake.

- Yeah, it's fake-looking.

It's totally fake-looking.

- What is it-- for-- was it like 47 feet under?

- 47 Meters Down.

It's a terrible movie.

But it's-- the sharks are-- - Oh my god.

- OK, here.

- You just kill the roots?

- Yeah.

- I want you to die!

- Emmy!

What did that root ever do to you?

- Everything.

You ruined my life!

- So I saw all the protests starting across the country.

And so I was watching all of the news coverage of it and hearing about it.

I felt a little disconnected, because I was just in my house watching all of it unfold.

And I felt like I wasn't really a part of it.

I was just watching other people be a part of it.

And so I heard that there was a vigil and protest happening downtown here.

So I decided that I wanted to go and do my part.

And it was a little scary to decide to go or not, because it is-- you're taking a risk when it comes to the virus.

And you're being exposed.

And people are being safe, but it's still a large congregation of people.

I decided to go, because I thought it was important.

[sirens wailing] - I've always been very privileged my entire life.

Like, I try to be very aware of that, because I feel like there are a lot of people-- specifically like white people-- who were just not aware of that.

- I feel like when I'm older, my kids or grandkids will ask probably like, well, what did you do to make the world a better place?

And I want to have a good answer, because I don't think as a six-year-old, you're looking for racism.

You don't really understand what racism is.

At least, as a white person, I don't understand what it is at 6, because as a privilege I have.

But now, I feel like I have more of a chance to see it, and call it out.

And I think if enough people realize it, and also call it racism as they see it, then hopefully, we can see more changes.

[rustling] Maybe we'll meet again.

When I learned about the conserve-- well, the-- yeah, the conservation of matter, which says that matter cannot be created or destroyed, to me, that's what reincarnation is, because the particles that make up you really don't go anywhere.

They get recycled.

And we don't know where that matter goes.

Like, it could go into another being.

So I don't know.

[rattling] - I, for one, am not someone to tell people a lot of things about myself or my personal life.

I don't like to go deep into that.

I'm definitely pretty good at bottling things up, and then I kind of just explode.

There's a point where you're OK with people seeing things up until a point, and then you're like, that's like my-- like a piece of me that I don't necessarily want to share with anybody.

I wanted to talk to you, too, about the other day, because last week was kind of rough for me-- and this week, too.

But when you were filming Cat in her bedroom the other day, and I was in the bathroom, that was very private to me.

And I didn't really want that to be something that was in the film, because it felt very personal, and I was trying to deal with things my way.

And I don't want that to be something in the film, because I felt very-- it was very-- it felt exposing, and it was personal to me, and it's-- I just wanted to handle that on my own and keep it separate if that's OK. [piano music] - So I take a straw, and I open that, and this is screwed to the cup, OK. And I stick this in.

So why is the cup not here?

That's the question.

- Did you-- - And I checked that.

All right.

So now, we go ask Bella, OK. Bella?

Oh!

She has the cup!

[laughter] That's mine!

You unscrewed the top and left the rest.

- I found it-- - This is mine.

- I found it in a drawer in the kitchen.

- It's her cup.

- It was in a drawer in the kitchen.

- Well, I don't have a dorm room.

I don't keep putting-- - I'm sorry we don't have a whole rack for our kitchen supplies.

Get out.

- I'm pouring it down the drain.

- No.

- This is mine, Bella.

- Get out.

No, there's a á*á*á*á*á*á*á* water bottle in here.

Just let me transfer it.

- So use your own water bottle.

- It was in a drawer in the kitchen.

It was in the drawer in the kitchen.

How am I supposed to know whom it belongs to?

- If it doesn't belong to you, then don't use it.

- Yeah.

- It was in a drawer in the kitchen.

I-- - Also, you unscrewed the top.

Why did you take the top off?

- Because I didn't need the top.

- This is mine.

I know Kayleigh's water bottles.

I know Emmy's water bottles.

I know not to touch them.

This is mine.

- Then keep it in your á*á*á*á*á*á*á* room.

- We don't-- we don't-- all I have-- - I'm not allowed to stock for our food.

- Because you keep dirty cups in your room.

- No, I don't.

- Yeah, uh-huh.

- Actually, no, I don't.

- No, that's me.

- Thank you.

- This says you're 5'7".

- 5'2".

- Those are centimeters.

- Those are inches.

5 foot-- 61, 62 inches is 5'2".

- No, look, you're like 5' 2 and 1/2.

See?

- I said 5' 2 and 1/4.

- 5' 2 and 1/2.

- That's even-- I'm taller.

That's taller than you said.

- We're doing me, because I am 5'4", and she is not 5'2".

- Oh, no, we're comparing.

Oh my god.

- You're like Amazon.

OK. - I'm not 5'6".

- Kayleigh, bro, you're like 64 inches.

- I'm 5'5"?

OK. Heck, no.

- Wait, no, no, no.

She's 5' 4 and 1/2.

- No, bro, you're 5'5".

- No way.

- Uh-huh.

- Oh, is that what that means?

- I-- no.

Actually, maybe.

- I don't know if you had it right.

- No, because that's 5 feet.

- That's 5 foot.

- Yeah, 5 foot.

So that's 5'4".

- [gasps] Whoa!

Wait, I'm like almost-- oh.

I've been doing this wrong.

Hey, you're 5'5".

- Yeah, Kayleigh, you are 5'5".

- No.

- Yeah.

Why-- - That's really weird.

- All right.

Someone do me.

- So I guess Cat really is 5'2".

[laughs] - Wow.

I-- no.

- [screams] Stop.

- You're all good?

- Yeah.

You look so cute and sparkly.

Oh, is that what I gave you for Christmas?

The little painter thingy?

- Yes, I use it to put on every single face mask that I have.

- It was really well-reviewed.

They were-- they said it was fantastic for people that like beauty and face kind of stuff.

- Heels against the wall.

- Go.

Oh my god.

- I just have to-- - Oh, Bella, you are-- - I'm tall?

- 5'4" at least.

- I'm tall.

- Oh my god.

- What?

- Watch out, ladies.

I'm 5'4".

[laughter] - You're 5'4" and some change.

- I'm 5'4" and some change.

- Oh, I'm 5'5" now.

- OK, so I rest my case.

Also, you put that in our wall, so-- - Yeah, can you erase that?

- You don't want these beautiful memories?

Ooh.

That's not a good eraser.

- Wait, wait.

Bella, Bella, Bella.

- They're just causing permanent damage.

I mean, yeah, like I'm excited to have my own apartment.

I've only ever lived in the dorms.

The first year, I lived with some friends.

I was given a random roommate, and it didn't really work out.

So I moved in with my friends.

And then I lived with a really close friend of mine.

Last year, too.

So I've always been super close physically, because the rooms at our colleges aren't that big but also, like, friend-wise.

So I'm kind of looking forward to just rooming alone, just because I was thinking about my future now as well.

I'm probably going to be living with a couple of girlfriends, because it's probably going to be the last time there's an excuse for me to live alone.

And then I guess I want to get married at some point.

I will be with someone then.

So it'll be kind of fun to get the opportunity to have these-- have this year, where I was living on my own.

Like, I'm really looking forward to that.

I've never lived on my own before, like completely on my own.

So I'm super excited about that.

- Good evening, DPS families and staff.

We're sorry for the late telephone call.

But we have important information to share.

Due to the progress of COVID-19 in our community, our school board has voted to start the first nine weeks of school next year with all students learning from home.

We will have more information for you very soon.

But we wanted you to know as soon as possible.

Thank you, and good night.

- I'm hopeful once I go to college, I really think by then, hopefully, it'll be a little bit better and at least I'll be able to leave.

But I'm not very hopeful for this next year.

I think it's going to be just me in my room, trying to handle school online, and also doing college applications, and just being done with high school.

I just think it's going to suck a lot.

But I'm hopeful for fall of 2021.

- The future?

What do you mean the future?

I'm not fortune teller.

I can't see the future.

What do you mean by your, I'm hopeful for the future?

- It sort of just feels like we're kind of trapped in time, like summer is never going to end.

And we're just like we're never going to go back to school.

And we're just going to do this forever, just stay in our houses, and work from home, and not go anywhere, and just do it forever.
