Then Silence

Like the previous post this one's in real time, the only way old school bloggers say to do it. It's ten minutes to class, in theory. It's senior prank day and the seniors emptied all the classrooms of chairs and used said chairs to barricade all the hallways except for the senior one. So, even though there's a narrow path to my class, it's empty of chairs. I guess we can sit on the floor and learn, or play gaga. A sweet senior just saw me and said I looked really upset over this prank. Good excuse. If only. As always, my world is more in than out, more there than here, more yesterday than this moment. I look forward to relating and teaching today. I will be meeting, among others, with one dear student of four years to say goodbye. Sigh. I imagine we're expected to be in class no matter what, so I'm on my way. it's hard to know because the PA system seems to have been tampered with so it keeps sounding like an announcement is about to be made, then silence. This has a familiar ring to it.
