Now I didn't just lay about doing nothing!
I volunteered, I studied, I rebuilt relationships with family, saw doctors and I recuperated.
I think I am getting ready now to move on from this place I am at and become a little bit more productive.
There is still one person whom I would like to hang by his feet from a tall tree and whack occassionally... but I am working on that and hopefully, I will be done with him soon.
After two years of not being sure when or if I would ever be going home to Japan, I know that at the very least, for a few weeks I will be home in Kagoshima in 2013. Will have to see how things go at that time. Hopefully I will be able to travel to a JALT conference and meet up with friends too. That would be nice.
Until next month ...
This no longer worries me much either, because what will be.. will be!
I think that given how hard you always worked in Kagoshima, two years off is well deserved!! Sounds like you have been keeping busy though and both you and Takako look so incredibly well that it can only have been a good thing!!
ReplyDeleteMoving "home" has been hard. It was the right decision for me (although I do miss Kagoshima alot) but although I had three job offers within a week of arriving back in the UK (ah, those were the days when jobs were easier to come by!)I can honestly say that it is only in the past year that London has truly started to feel like home again. It takes time to adjust, even though I have always known that leaving Kags was the best decision I ever made. xx
Roll on 2013!
