I&#8217;m pissed!)!<\/p>\n<p>I called head office at work today and asked about my transfer. It has been provisionally approved for November 1st. Looks like I am going then!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m in two minds about all this. I am delighted to be getting away from my current area as I think I have been treated really badly by some people, however, leaving all my friends and students behind is going to be very difficult. I dunno, I have always loved the school I am in but recently I have (to quote an Americanism) been feeling the love a lot more. I think I am a naturally insecure person and really need to be shown I&#8217;m liked to believe it but I am starting to feel I am liked by a few people here (did that make any sense?). The teachers before me left an enormous shadow, the guy would appear to be godlike! Seriously though it&#8217;s starting to feel less like I am an imposter in his school and more homely.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s sad because the students love continuity and supposedly don&#8217;t like change &#8211; which I can appriciate. I feel like I am letting them down a little bit by leaving before I have to but this is something I have to do.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t know how I would feel when I heard if I was getting my transfer but I wasn&#8217;t as sad as I thought so hopefully when it comes time to go I&#8217;ll be OK. It&#8217;s a nice area of Kyushu I am going to and I am looking forward to living in a slightly bigger city &#8211; Kagoshima (one of the options) even has a cinema and shinkansen!!<\/p>\n<p>Anson and I seem to have been getting along well and that is another thing I am going to miss. We both are pretty laid back and tolerant of each other and we haven&#8217;t had an arguement &#8230; yet. I hope his new &#8220;room mate&#8221; is a decent bloke.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, enough of my waffle for one night. Things here are good. I have been setting some decent times on Mariocart Advance on my Gameboy! Although I am shocking at Sonic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>!\/textpattern\/images\/1.jpg (It&#8217;s Me &#8230;&#8230;. I&#8217;m pissed!)!
