WAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
If you aren't part of
readthenewberys, this will probably be the first time you'll hear that I'm moving to Mongolia* to teach next year. (YAY!!!) This probably isn't the best time for you to hear about it because I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps, really.
I've just handed in my letter of resignation and am feeling more than a little sad about it.
*waaaaahhhhhh!* (again)
This school has been a wonderful place to work. I love the teachers -- even the crusty ones have their good days and really aren't that crusty. The students -- if extremely trying at times -- are FULL of personality. This place is so diverse -- this year we have 27 different languages represented! Wow, right? As my friends have gone to work in different schools and shared their experiences with me, I realize how lucky I am to be here. And I'm very sad to be leaving it -- mostly because I know I won't be coming back. I'll probably be in school full-time next fall and after that, I'll be at a middle school or high school.
Sometimes I think I really could continue to do this job and never leave this school. Since my brother will be snerking about that statement, I should explain that I actually couldn't afford this job if I ever wanted to live on my own. Half of my paycheck would go to rent. HA! That and I actually hate putting books away. Ugh! The best part about it is the students -- I know this and it's why I'm returning to school. So I can actually teach. Students. A bunch of them.
*sigh*
Even good things (i.e. living and teaching in Mongolia for a year) rarely come without a price.
*Later, when I'm not feeling quite so weepy, I'll give you an update on Mongolia because things have gotten pretty EXCITING on that front.
