my house is like a half an hour drive from the path of totality, so my mom is taking me out of school to go see it. there was a school poll and like 73% percent of kids aren't gonna be at school and most teachers aren't going to either

OOC Yeah, we're driving up in a few days to go watch it.
Also, to everyone else that is gonna go watch it, please be careful. A lot of people can ruin their eyes because of watching an eclipse, even with the glasses on.

Probably just going to watch it on TV. My dad got a couple eclipse glasses that seem totally useless because you can't see anything at all out of them, let alone an eclipse, so yeah. Plus, they're closing down my school early so kids don't accidently look at it so that's cool I guess

My state only has a 70% view, but I'm still going to watch it. The sky is supposed to be clear and I'm heading to the beach to watch with some friends.

I'm not in the 100% total eclipse path, but pretty close. I got my free eclipse glasses at the fair today, so I'm good to go. My work is trying to say we have a "mandatory" meeting that day at 1:30 (right around the time it's supposed to happen here) that's supposed to be a taco party to show their appreciation for us, but I asked off for this day 5 months ago, and I don't like tacos, so I will not be going to their little eclipse taco party.

It's not going to be a total eclipse here, but either way I won't be up early enough to watch it since I don't ever wake up before 12pm. And I'm not interested enough to wake up early just to watch it.

I live in the 97-99% totality zone so it'll be hard to miss.
But yeah I'm going outside to watch.
Then it's off to the hospital for a regular checkup
Traffic will be a nightmare

My town is within about 20 miles of totality, so it's basically going to be full. I definitely think I'll step outside during it as I will be at work.

I could never get a hold of those eclipse glasses, especially since the stores that do sell them aren't in close proximity, but I do plan to watch the broadcast at least.

The path of totality is just a couple hours drive from us so my family will be going up tomorrow and staying at a friend's house there. Going old school and will be using the cereal box method to view it's stages!
