#introverted lunch

Last night I stayed up until 1 talking to a close college friend who's slowly dying of kidney failure at the ripe old age of 27. 

Was woken up by a cold dog nose just before 6. 

This morning on the way to work, I was the first caller for the free concert tickets from the radio station, and my phone dropped the call right before I could speak. 

At the high school today. I guess I didn't plan enough to keep 4th period structured enough and they got bored and mouthy and lazy and resistant. I have plans to modify the lesson for 6th and 8th period, but I'm discouraged and it feels like I have a very long afternoon ahead of me. 

Especially because 6th period is populated by a frankly excessive number of "characters" and 8th period has no idea how to shut up, it's not even in their vocabulary.
