Wow, talk about emotionally wrenching! This was much, much harder than I ever thought it would be. In the beginning the decision to leave was emotional, full of anger and resentment. Then it became an economic decision. Now I have no idea what I am doing! There is some very real fear that I have made a terrible decision.
Cry. And cry. And cry. That is how I spent the last two days of work. There were so many things I wanted to get done before walking out the door. They ended up being left undone. Hopefully nothing that makes things too difficult or hurts a student in some way.
I will write more soon but I am still digesting the impact of making this change. Hopefully my short commute on Monday will help me see things a bit more positively! I surely couldn’t feel any worse—
