It may be irrational, but I feel oddly peaceful, even rejuvenated, as though the weight of the universe has lifted off my shoulders. It's all related to the news that my school will cut two people from each department. I expect to be one of them although it's not official. I found out about the cuts from a friend on Saturday. By Sunday, my fears of financial difficulties were far outweighed by very positive feelings. Call me crazy. Maybe I'll be singing a different tune in six months. But I went to work today feeling a lightness that I haven't felt for ages. I went there wanting to have fun with my students and unconcerned about whether an administrator would pop in for an impromptu evaluation. I let them get in groups and pairs to do a project(something the administration frowns upon because the students make noise while they work together!) and the entire time, my feeling was (smile) whatever! It was incredibly freeing.
