I got the school jitters big time! Just a little coaching needed for how not to get too involved in school politics but stay closely connected to Lula.

No really, I really DID think that was my purpose for being alive, to serve these big people. Just a straggling [...] SO TIred. is how i feel. And how I’ve felt much of this year.
