First Week of Summer

So its the first week of summer and the first time in 4 years that I don't know where I'll be teaching in September. I've been very conflicted lately; riding a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Saying goodbye to my colleagues at Farragut was very difficult. Many tearful hugs and promises to keep in touch. I want to clear something up though.

I wasn't fired.

It sure feels like it but the reality is that my principal chose not to renew me for the upcoming school year. As a principal, that's her right. Since I am still a probationary teacher, she can do that to me. The reasons she made that choice are still unclear. No one I have spoken to at Farragut can make any sense of it. However since she has chosen not to renew my appointment as a teacher, there's not much I can do about it. Its time to move on.

I've gone through the entire range of emotions in this. I've gone from shock to anger to sadness and back again. I've been a bit depressed lately as well. The good news is though that I have another job interview later this week and there is another job fair in 2 weeks. There are many openings across the city and I feel confident something will break soon.

Now its time to get some work done around the house.
