last day of teaching

I knew I might have an emptier class at the library today because a couple of my regular students told me they wouldn't be here this week. But I was still surprised by how empty it was. I had one student today, new in the area and planning to attend UC Berkeley in the fall. It was a different experience for me, and I felt less like a teacher and more like an older sister. Still, I pushed on with my original lesson plan, even though I might have tailored the lesson to the student's wants or needs (that would have been easier if I knew the student, I think).

I feel like I should say something revelatory after teaching in a local library for three months, but I got nothing.
