Down to the wire

So, I have less than two months left here in Korea. My contract is up July 2nd and they cannot renew me (although they do want to) due to money. The budget I'm under isn't giving them enough for the next semester.

BUT. That's ok! Ian and I moved our wedding to February 1st (or somewhere near that date) and have been looking at houses in Sahuarita.
Nothing is certain, but there are a number of schools in the area that I can apply to. I am in contact with one school (Continental) through email and the lady at HR has been very helpful. They seems to have teachers retiring so they have openings. I just finished the application and sent it to them today. They should get it tomorrow, seeing as it's the evening in AZ now.

I also applied with the Sahuarita School District, and they have many schools with positions I am qualified for. I think I uploaded my application for about 8 positions. Something is bound to come up, if that's where Ian and I are meant to be.
Of course, I am looking into TUSD. Of course I won't hold my breath because they are mostly hiring within the district.
I do have a connection in the Special Ed department, but I'm not sure what's available. Oh! I did get a phone call this morning from a school. They are looking for someone for their self-contained Autism class. It's on the South side, though. Not an ideal place, in my opinion.
I am also pretty set on Sahuarita. It's such a nice place and still close to Tucson, so I can see friends and family easily.

We'll see what comes up. Just keep praying it happens positively and with little confusion. It's really difficult to deal with this from miles across the sea. :P


The plan today after work: Groceries, and some gifts-for my wedding party and family. I need to start sending some packages home so I have less to travel with. There's a lot I've acquired during this year.

Hope to update another time, soon! Check my twitter and facebook for more current updates. :)
