Today has been a pretty shitty day.
We had a whole school meeting this afternoon. Due to the economic slowdown, our school has had to make some cuts. 7 people were told their contracts are not to be renewed today, to go with around 7 who have already been told there position no longer exists. We also found out our Head of School is not renewing his contract either. It's a dreary place, the Head, Primary Principal, Assistant Principal, PYP co-ordination and 3 head-of grade coordinators (so most of our leadership - bar 2 grade level coordinators) are leaving, possibly the Early Years Principal (who was on an interview today) along with 40 staff this year. They have cut a staff of 165 down to 115. We won't be getting our end of year bonus, which you have to accumulate 70 hours of extra-curricular work to get 10,000 RMB any more. Now we are just worried about being paid.
We are so glad we chose to come home.

Sorry to hear that things over there are a bit crappy Kelly :(
But "yay" for almost having a wedding dress :)
Hang in there. You haven't got long to go, and your new mantra can be: "just think of the dress!"
