Worked through both planning periods. Got in the middle of my first fight today. I cursed several times in the process. Also confirmed my suspicions that another one of my students in Porter-Leath ran away.

I finally signed up to work on the Lost wiki, which I knew I was going to do eventually. Can you believe some people don't understand the significance of the number 108 in Buddhist folklore? Some people are just fucking dumb.
