I'm having one of those nights when every time I close my eyes, my mind starts wandering to all these different places and I can't seem to calm them down enough to actually sleep. So far I've tried sleeping twice...I even took some Tylenol pm...
at the moment my mind is drifting to...
a few aim conversations I've recently had with a few friends - some close, some estranged, some a bit forced...
a letter I need to write a friend to explain some stuff in hopes of avoiding awkwardness later on...
a new course I am teaching next year and have no materials for as of yet (2 weeks beforehand)...
4 people I've fallen out of touch with and have been meaning to call or write to for upwards of 2 years...
how tired I will be tomorrow if I never fall asleep... (never being a relative term in this case)...
and then the big thought(S) that never really leave, more questions really...how can people break promises so easily, so often, so carelessly? Why do people stop loving other people? How and Why. How and Why. How and Why.
Oh Child, Things will get easier; Oh Child, Things will get brighter. Looking outward to a promising future.
About Me
- Lauren Sheldon
- "How will I know what I think until I see what I write?" I graduated from Lafayette College in 2004 and have been teaching high school English for 5 years at North Hunterdon High School located in Central New Jersey. I currently teach 9th grade Honors English and Advanced Academic Literacies (AAL). In the past I have taught junior American Lit (CP and Honors), Communication, Advanced Exposition, and Public Speaking. I had the opportunity to co-create AAL and now am entering my 7th semester of teaching this mixed-ability 21st Century course. I love integrating new technology into this course and my other classes as well. I coach girl's soccer and lacrosse and serve as co-advisor to the senior class. In my free time I love to read, journal, and explore the outdoors.

Love sure is complicated . . . isn't it?
