I miss teaching - I mean I REALLY miss teaching!!!  I know that Dad and I are meant to be here in Hervey Bay and we love living here in Hervey Bay, but it's hard not being able to teach as much as I would like to be.  I am feeling a sense of loss today - I think it's hit me a bit hard because I have not been called in to teach at all this week.  When I emailed with the VP at Kawungan three years ago, she told me there were tons of supply teaching jobs available at Kawungan, but it seems that things have changed since then.  It happened like that back in Canada with teaching jobs, but not with supply teaching - there were always jobs going in that area. 

I know that since we are meant to be here, that things will work out, and it's only been this week when I have been able to supply teach and haven't been called.  It's just hard not being called in and doing what I love to do.  When I get back to Hervey Bay in January, Dad is going to make  me some business cards with my picture on it and info (phone number, email, etc) on it as well so that I can give it out to other teachers at Kawungan and at other schools in the area as well.  I am going into the Anglican College (private school) tomorrow to talk with them about supplying for them in the next school year and I am also going to talk with Leanne, the VP at Kawungan, tomorrow about other teaching opportunities which might come up at Kawungan in the new year.  I am also planning on volunteering in the grade one classes at Kawungan come the new year.  I will do all I can do and then have faith that I will be able to teach more come the next school year which begins in late January.
