I have news.

I was informed today by Hetty herself that she has found my replacement!!

Interestingly, this was a few hours after telling me she wanted to talk to me today about how many students in the WRETCHED PKB (post-kinder, they were a GREAT kinder class in the school last year) class had several/many pages in their workbooks inexplicably blank. I hate that class & all the other ones I was dealing with then, so after telling her I had no breaks today, I decided I'd let her know after my classes finished today (today is an earlier day) that I could meet, and would tell her that, as today is the one month mark of my last day, I couldn't give 2 shits about the unfilled workbook pages for kids who literally cannot be bothered to or are too busy talking to their friends/messing around/way too slow completing anything to copy from the board the answers I have to give them, since Asian children only know how to copy, rather than to think for themselves. Oh yes, I was going to let my true animosity shine through!

But after getting that news, I found myself MUCH calmer and receptive to her NEW PAPERWORK!

I was certain this day would never come. After receiving this joyous revelation, I told Kiara, who already knew. Interesting, since this is the FIRST time she hadn't told me about a new teacher, whereas all the other times when there wasn't anyone or they fell through, she told me right away.

Naturally, Hetty doesn't know if she'll be here the end of May or the beginning of June, and I'll stay on 3-5 days to train her (Sara only stayed 3). so I don't know exactly when a new job start date will be, never mind when I have to leave the apartment. It wasn't 'til I got home that I realized, oh, the end of May is in 2 weeks. Sooooo, that'll be less-than-fun, getting everything packed up & out of here in 2 weeks, when I still have food and, more importantly, liquor, here. But the end there, it is SO NEAR!! No more teaching 4 year-olds how to add, or multiply by 3, or do basic algebra (which was in today's lesson)!! No more trying to keep 4 year olds awake in class, and having to come by and help each and everyone one of them write numbers or letters because they won't do it unless you are literally breathing down their neck! No more singing & dancing!! No more Hessed!! NO MORE HESSED!!!

I am so happy, I am not drinking tonight!!
