Decision

Well, I have given this a lot of thought, and I have decided to move back to San Diego this summer. My contract ends in July, so I will be back in San Diego by early August. I will fly into Los Angeles, then I need to somehow get my car from San Jose, then go to San Diego and get ready for school, which starts in mid-August. I am hoping to go back to Palmer Way, but that depends on if there are any openings. Of course I will be homeless, so if anyone is willing to help me (and Sumi) out, I would appreciate it. It will be a big adjustment to go back to the US, but I think it the right decision for me. I have really enjoyed this experience. I have learned a lot about myself, this culture, and had the chance to travel to many other countries. In the process of learning Japanese, I have learned a lot about how to teach English. I think I will be a better teacher for this experience.
This is an emotional time for me, thinking about all the upcoming choices and changes. I hope that I can continue to travel, teach in other places, and have new life experiences. I am not ready to settle in any one place. San Diego is my next stop, but hopefully not my last.
