Yesterday, I handed the letter to my boss. I have officially resigned from my position in Italy, effective at the end of August.
For various reasons, best shared over a beer or coffee rather than on a public blog or facebook page, we have decided that we will return to the US this summer.
I hope to find a teaching job somewhere. I have applied for my teaching license in OR and could also easily return to NJ. Hopefully there is a school or two out there looking for a highly qualified math teacher, and maybe even an IB coordinator. If not in OR or NJ, at least in a state where most people speak English, where we can live in our own house, and where Tom can surf again. Tom hopes to surf again.
Being in Italy has been a great experience so far. I have learned more, different things than I ever imagined I would. I will return to the US more sympathetic to outsiders in all contexts, more patriotic and ready to defend our political system despite it's problems, and more able to step away from work and enjoy the finer things in life: people, places, and food!
The good news is we have six months left to enjoy our time here. And you have six months left to visit. . .
