Embargoed for weekdays.
I don't know why but in high school roll call I always say that I am "Here." Not there. Not just anywhere. I am here. I am not present for you. I am here for me, because I always like to learn new things. I am here for the teacher, because I am signaling my location as if still the first day of class and the names are being strangely pronounced as if by a stranger. I am saying "Here" because that is my habitual customary way of responding to roll call. So?
