Our lovely daughter, Jen, has called us in tears yesterday and this morning. She is a senior at college and she has never called in tears before. She says that she is exhausted and needs sleep. I asked if it was school work or work at the library (She has worked at the library since freshman year and works at Barnes and Noble summers and breaks). She says it is the library and she can't get a substitute because no one does that anymore.
I think that she is exhausted because she is student teaching all this semester. She has done this 2 other semesters, but this one matters the most and she has more responsibility.
Anyway, should I call the library and tell them that she is exhausted and she needs sleep? I was going to ask them to say that she looks really tired and to go back to the dorm (they all live on campus at Elmira College) and they will cover for her? Do you think she will know I called? Actually, I think that she will.
We told her to take some Melatonin to help her sleep better when she does go to bed.
She is in NY and we are in CA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because she has never sounded like this.
