Continue with the main quest, it spawns after the first day of school
Catch-22 -- they said "we have to buy books for school starts tomorrow" (?!) and 3 days later still no school, no basket nothing to do.
Also there is a bug when you go to the cafe (?) and it's blocked and he says "someone needs help", yet there is no one there, for 2 days. Then when someone *is* there, char can go straight to them.

It turns out even though it was 'tomorrow', everything was delayed because (1) when MC slept it was using 'nap' and '1 hour', so even though clock hit 7-8AM, it didn't seem to trigger a new day. Then had to use 'sleep' and it went to a new day, plus I missed one chore before 6pm or w/e.
