Well folks, it's been the best of times, it's been the worst of times. I'll go into more detail later.

My shred of hope : this badass school wants to interview me. I've had emails ( in French! ) from the foreign language department chair and the principal. It looks amazing. Even if I had to take a paycut, I would do somersaults if I got to teach here. It gets a 10 out of 10 rating on greatschools.net .

In the meantime, 5 days 5 days 5 days. I'm watching Zoolander. "Blue steel"....
