I've finally been granted my sabbatical. A new teacher has been hired. I honestly thought this would never happen. This last half term has been filled with betrayals and unimaginable stress. I think they were hoping I'd changed my mind about leaving but I haven't. I've booked right from 1st September so my new life starts immediately. The relief.
As a perk, on the same day they made the appointment I discovered I was a finalist in a short film competition. True, my script about an elderly couple just before the asteroid strikes may never get made but... it made it out of 2000 + very decent scripts. So if nothing else I can hang a decent story together. Now I need to hang a decent writing year together.
