We got through the day uneventfully. Of course there wasn't any bomb. There were no problems.
Many of the kids expressed concern that they were in danger, as I mentioned before. More expressed jealousy that their friends were out having fun, and they had to be in school. Word on the street was that half of the seniors were at the beach and the other half were playing golf. (My students, I know, were doing the work I put on the class web site!)
For me, the best thing was seeing the building not overcrowded. Our building was originally built for 400 students. Today, gobs of additions later, we have 2700 kids crowding the classrooms and hallways. The passing periods are a nightmare.
I went through my day, as I would have. However, I did have some extra time--so I wrote my speech for the district's retirement party!
