It's Been a While..

The start of my second year has come and gone, and I'm 3 months into it at this point. I visited the States for a couple of weeks from July to August, came back to Japan, had a really rough time getting resettled at first because the U.S. didn't feel like home anymore and neither did Japan, but now everything's great. Work is extremely busy now with 7 schools instead of only one (2 Junior High Schools and 5 Elementary Schools), but life is good. Japan never ceases to amaze me, I meet interesting people every week, and I have great friends from all over the world. I have to say I'm pretty lucky to have this lifestyle. But of course I miss everyone back in the States. Sorry to all the people I didn't get to see when I went back this summer.

I've been up to a lot since I got back, but it's a lot to recap on. I've put all of my pictures up on Facebook, but I know not everyone has that, so here's links to the albums if you want to see what I've been doing since July:

My American Vacation
The Return to Japan 2007
Big Rubber Balls and Beaches
Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall
Kyoto
Hello Fall (For Real Yo)!

Really busy but completely content right now. Already realizing that when I leave Japan it's going to be really hard. Just enjoying myself for the time being, live in the moment, right?
