Thomas Brian Donnelly:  

to completely retire. I took a job at the Singapore International School in Thu Dau Mot, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. My students were a little younger as the school is K-12. I had no experience being around small children so I spent much of my time just being sure they were not underfoot. Seriously though, they were a very sweet bunch of kids. I was ready to pack it all in again when, much to my surprise, I got an offer from the Karachi American School, in Pakistan. I've only been here a few months so we will see how it goes. My time in Pakistan came to an end at the end of May. I was on my way to my new job in Malaysia when the Covid-19 virus pandemic pretty much shut most of the world down to travel. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place as flights out of Karachi were few and far between...and frequently canceled. I am extremely grateful to the administration of my school for letting me stay on in the faculty housing until my visa expired. Only then could I fly back to the USA in October! I'm now living at a B & B 'someplace' in Massachusetts, searching the internet for my next position. I'm hoping for a good one and then perhaps I can consider retiring again. Cheers, everyone!
