Hall Pass

I just had my first two days of teaching high school English and the word tired doesn't seem to be fitting the bill. We had a guest speaker at our faculty meeting today talk about sleep deprivation and exercises to remedy it. This is the second day of classes. I know I'll "get used to it" and figure out a way to sleep in my car (while driving), but until that point, I'm just gonna sit back and marvel at it all. All those teachers I had in kindergarten, middle school and high school were posed with this same dilemma.

What's funny is that now I'm "that teacher" who drinks coffee in the morning and talks with his hands a lot.
