The thing that pisses me off though is the guy who's going to replace me. He can't connect to the students, doesn't realize that the students are making fun of him, and is going to be having surgery come February, so he's going to miss some days then. I never realized how important consistency was to students, but several of the students mentioned on their feedback forms that the worst part of the first semester was having to switch teachers so often.
Anyway, I'm going to start looking online for a place tomorrow, calling landlords and the like, and then I'll be driving to Springfield probably Tuesday or Wednesday.
