Did you go through a grieving process when you left? I've been going through this for a week and have honestly been on cloud 9 about 90% of the time. I am wondering if I should expect a big feeling of dread or regret later on? Everything about it has felt so right and exciting so far. What started as "maybe I will just look and see what's out there" has quickly snowballed into notifying my principal (although I haven't officially submitted any paperwork yet); telling colleagues, friends, and family; looking at jobs and now I have applied to 5 and updated all my documents; starting selling some of my teaching gear . . . I haven't felt this alive and free in a long time!
