(no subject)

I am completely broken right now. I just found out that two of my students were killed in a horrific car crash on Thursday evening. I had just had Courtney in my class this past week...we had been joking about hair styles....I cried my way through dinner tonight when we went up to Steer Inn. I didn't work Friday and didn't watch the news for the last few days, so I hadn't heard, and two of the waitresses are high school girls. One mentioned being in a daze, and I asked why, and she told me, and I bawled and hugged her and hugged the other young lady....

I am scheduled to teach Monday and Tuesday both. This is going to be incredibly hard.

I don't know what else to say. I'm in a daze myself.

Processing

Sometimes, to process things, I need to write them here. However, because of the graphic nature, it goes ( behind the cut. Expect triggering things here. )

Parents & teachers, please, for my sake, for your sake, use this story to talk to your teens about driving at a high rate of speed and the dangers of texting while driving. These were not bad or troubled kids. They were popular kids who made really bad decisions, and now they are gone and we suffer.

I'm going to have a glass of wine and a hot bath and an early bed, I think. I'm too broken right now for much else.
