A Day

We began the day with the brilliant light of learning. Like shiny fish we sparkled in that light. We sparkled until the cloud came. Huddled together in the dark we kept our spirits up. By the light of surreptitious phones we illuminated even the tiniest spaces so that darkness could not seep as deep as our souls. Period 2, I will never forget the time we bonded in the darkness of the classroom born in another's dark despair. I want to assure everyone that during the ordeal I was not making a list of "weak" students in case the Code Yellow ran long and we began to grow hungry. If you hear that I did that, I assure you it is a rumor. I never gave you the quiz. I mentioned a study guide. We'll talk next class.
