4 am Missive

You know how you can feel nauseous when you're overly tired? That's me, right now. It's about 4:15 and I've been awake since midnight with Quinn. He's got an ear ache and isn't feeling well, and thus, isn't going to sleep. Suffice it to say, I won't be with you today. Sorry!

Thoughts for today: I just finished reading Prep, a book given to me by Sidney. Heard of it? It's told from the perspective of a young woman going through 4 years at a boarding school, but because she's from the mid-west, attending an East coast, swanky school, she feels isolated and alone. It's been a while since I've read young adult lit and it was engrossing, even as I despised the character's preoccupation with a boy and her gruesome self-loathing... but it reminded me in kinder sections of how complicated and emotional high school can be. Adolescence is not an easy time of life. I've decided that I need to read at least 2 young adult books each year from now on so that I never get too detached from the experience. Recommendations? Thoughts? What should adults never forget about who you are and what you feel?

Remember to write about the change project and your writing venture. Only 3 more days!

Pretty coherent for someone who wants to sleep desperately, eh?
