i am sad.
i am also angry. and upset. and dissappointed. and pissed off. and mad at all the f-ing people who didn't vote yesterday.
but, mostly i am sad. because i really was hopeful about the next four years, and really the next 20 years and beyond that will be affected by yesterday.
and now i have to go teach and have a discussion with my students about motivation and inspiration and what you need to do well and succeed and prosper. how do you tell them that hard work and dedication and all that sometimes just isn't enough? (okay, so i probably won't actually tell them that)
dave came into the teacher center and saw me at the computer and actually thought i was crying. i wasn't, but i sure feel like i could.
i want to say that i love this country, but right now, i kind of don't.
