NARRATIVE of WARD COURIER/CONFERENCE with TEAM 8
April, 2012
BUFFALO, NY
It was a mild late afternoon in April. I was behind my laptop on the patio of a cafe on the soon-to-be-verdant Bidwell Parkway. I was reflecting on my course, the one we called just "English 12," and how I was going to bring it to a complete-enough ending by graduation-time. I always try to get too much done in a year. I was already feeling the end-of-the-year crunch. On the following Monday we were going to hit it running. I knew I had better enjoy myself.
