Asked in downtown Chico.

We had a cruise to Europe canceled last October that’s been rescheduled to this coming October. So, not canceled altogether. They just gave us credit for another one.

A lot of travel mostly. I’m from the U.K., and I was trying to get to South America last year and couldn’t get there. I’m still trying to get there at the moment, which is why I’m here staying with friends.

There were a bunch of festivals and stuff canceled last summer—High Sierra got canceled. I’m not sure if they’re back this year.

I was in the [Butte College] paramedic class and that got canceled. There’s a lottery to get into the class, kinda like the nursing program, and I got in, but they wiped all the names when the class got canceled. So I’m just applying again hoping to get in this time.
