This was an early-morning, before work walk. Thanks to Regents exams, I didn't need to be in school until around 8:30 am, and I didn't need to make any photocopies or ready any lesson plans, my usual period zero rituals. However, I had to keep close to school just in case something went wrong or if my walk took longer than I expected.
