Cal texted me several times during the day to let me know how much fun he was having in Lido Key. I was glad to hear that as I wanted his senior Spring Break with his friends to be a good one. The last text he sent, however, was a disappointing one. IU had decided to cancel in person class for the rest of the semester as well as all social activities due to the spread of the coronavirus in the US. For Cal that meant no senior week and no last Little 500 with his friends. IU wasn't even sure that they would be hosting a graduation for the class of 2020 this spring. It softened the blow for him since he was on vacation, but it was still extremely disappointing.
Meg felt the sting of not returning to Bloomington for the rest of the year as well. She had made several close friends while on campus this year and was sad to find out that she wouldn't be able to hang out with them for quite some time. She also had to worry about how she was going to get everything out of her dorm room. We had brought quite a bit of her belongings home already, but there was still a lot left in her room including the jewelry chest, her refrigerator, the floor rug and a closet full of clothes. Thankfully, Brett's apartment will be available for storage once we do get down there to pack it up. It has been an interesting four days with all of the postponements and cancellations, but this one has definitely hit home the hardest.
