Journal Entry 16

Journal Entry 16: October 21st

I called in sick again today. I couldn't bring myself to face Mark or any of my students. I've been thinking about what happened more and more, and I'm starting to wonder if maybe I was overreacting.

I mean, yes, what Mark did was completely inappropriate, but maybe I was sending him the wrong signals. Maybe I was wearing that dress just to get attention. Maybe I was being too friendly with him. Maybe it was all my fault.

I don't know what to think anymore. I keep going back and forth between feeling angry at Mark and feeling guilty for even considering reporting him. Maybe he didn't mean anything by it. Maybe he was just acting on impulse. Maybe it was just a one-time thing.

The one nice thing is that tomorrow is Saturday so I'll have the whole weekend to think about everything and try to make sense of it all. I can't keep calling in sick days like this, but I don't know what to do.
