Some good news, at last!

A little while ago, I got an email to say that I had been successful at interview yesterday (god, was it only yesterday afternoon?) and am going to be offered a contract. *\o/*

Which means that I will be teaching again from January, taking over an existing class and/or starting with a new class of my own - the organisation had gone into a holding pattern pending the restructuring and so we'd started less classes than we normally would to be sure we had the funding and the tutors to teach them. Some of the classes running now are being taught by tutors who are taking redundancy at the end of the year while we also have more students waiting to start who we couldn't guarantee we'd have classes for prior to this all getting sorted out.

I have to be honest, I had pretty much convinced myself that while they were giving us all a shot, it wasn't going to work out. Instead, next week, I'll be meeting with my manager to confirm how many hours I'll be teaching and start to look at what classes/times/days. This should also mean I can start the PGCE next year, unless we get a major axe taken to our funding again between now and next September.

Holy shit, I still can't quite believe it. :)
