What should I do?

,


The signs were already glaring, and I already knew what to expect in the coming few days.


And slowly the reality started dawning on me that, much sooner than I wanted,


I would suddenly be rudely and unapologetically jolted from my "not-comfortable" reality which I was already adapting to,


Back to a much worse "not-comfortable" situation that I had already put off going back to, not for the next few months at least.


And since then, various thoughts have been parading in my mind especially because what I was expecting has now come to pass.


Thoughts like...


  • Where do I start from now?
  • How do I adjust my routine again and adapt to it now?
  • Who is going to finish up the work and clean up the mess that will be exist when I'm gone?
  • Do I tell some people before I go or should I just go "POOF" and disappear like a ghost?


Among other thoughts.


And in case you haven't gotten the gist by now,


What I am talking about is the (not so) sudden "conditional" calling off of the 8-month old ASSU strike.


And like I said, the calling off of the strike came at an unwanted time because of a number of reasons.


1. The first term of the school I teach in has just gone about halfway (6th week) and I don't like leaving work half done.


I'd have preferred the strike being called off around August before the term started rather than having started the term now and being unable to finish it.


2. In my mind, anything school had been put off till next year because the year is almost gone.


3. Besides, I have just started gaining momentum in certain strategic activities I have been doing which are lately related to Copywriting, Sales and Marketing -- which will all be disrupted by the unexpected resumption of the universities.


4. I absolutely hate it that the children -- (especially the new students) that I have consciously and unconsciously built a relationship with during the course of my teaching -- would all of a sudden stop seeing me without having any explanation being given to them.


And it saddens me that some of them who may have just begun to develop interest in mathematics because of their teacher may lose some of their zeal if when he is suddenly "taken" from them.


Call me paranoid, an overthinker, or even someone who doesn't care much for his own future.


But I do need your advice.


  • Do you think I should announce my departure to all the children,
  • Or should I just tell a select few who I deem fit for one reason or the other?
  • Or should I just JAPA without any notice?


Advice me .


Meanwhile, I will see you tomorrow.


Have a lovely night's rest.


To your digital success,
