Culture Shock

I'm back.

Some of you may have noticed a lapse in posts. I can explain:  I was in California reassimilating to American culture while visiting family and friends. Eleven months had passed since I'd last been on my home turf, and boy did it feel awesome to be there again! I think I may have readjusted too well because now that I've returned to Seoul, I'm experiencing a rough culture shock. It actually seems more pronounced than when I first moved here a year ago, I guess because everything was new and exciting then. Now, it's another story.

Anyway, I'm fighting through the jet lag and trying to get some renewed focus and enthusiasm. Tomorrow kicks off the Fall term, and in (front of) the classroom I shall be.
