Yesterday I had a meeting with the principal, who unfortunately was not at my interview, regarding my Christmas holiday. She was shocked to hear that I was going to be gone for two weeks. My department head told her that no where do they give two weeks for Christmas. I got really defensive because after living in the states for 28 years, I have had two weeks off for Christmas, while working and being in the education field as either a student or teacher. It ended this way, I would only take 6 working days off.
Then last night and this morning I couldn't stop thinking about it and have come to the hard but wisest decision that I will not be coming home for Christmas. Instead I will be spending the holiday working in a country that does not celebrate it. I am so sad and extremely homesick now, not knowing when I will be able to come home again. At least I have Avat to spend that Saturday with.
