As old doors close; new ones open

My sister told that to me as I comiserated to her that my 2 buddies who worked next door to me and across the hall, were going in different directions for the 2010-11 school year. One of them left the district and took on a directorship position in a Jewish pre-school and the other one won't be teaching Kindergarten in the Fall-she will be teaching a foreign language. It looked as if it was going to be a lonely year for me!

But yesterday, my spirits lifted significantly. As I came into school ladened with purchases from the summer, I heard a very famliar voice. It was my friend Diane. And she was moving in next door to me! About 5 years ago, she had been forced to transfer to another school down the road from us. We were sad to see her go! That school that she was transferred to is now closed and when her department placed her, she was sent back to her old school and ironically her old classroom.

So... welcome back, Diane!!!! I am so glad to have you as my new/old neighbor. Hopefully the curse on that room be lifted now that you are back in it. Actually, I know it will!
