One of my students had a close relative killed. I'm very bummed. All of my students navigate a world that my white graduate school ass could never navigate. I have to be tough to exist in my school but I almost cried in class when I got this news. I've been bummed since.
My afternoon consisted of talking to counselors, taking a trip to the drug store for a sympathy card, calling parents to express my sadness, and taking a trip to the record store for a pick me up CD.
I'm listening to some very loud punk rock and having a beer. I'm going to watch some funny stuff on the tube.
I'm going to give my kids a lot of time to process this stuff. Reality bites.
