Settling

So I've been back for almost a week now. The good vacation buzz is starting to wear off, and I'm getting readjusted to the pace here: fast.

I had a great welcome back to Taiwan: my first morning back to work, I woke up late. After a week of sitting untouched the scooter was reluctant to start, forcing me to borrow my roommate's. Luckily, it was raining pretty heavily, so I didn't have to worry about all the sunshine getting in my eyes on the way to work. I pulled out my poncho, but it was pretty badly ripped from the last time I used it and oops, in my excitement to go on vacation I had forgotten to replace it. So, when I rolled up to kindergarten, damp and jetlagged 40 minutes later, I was greeted by the kids who were as cute as ever. And since they hadn't seen me in nearly two weeks, they had forgotten all about how I work, so they had a good time testing my limits. Ah, the brains of 4 year olds. But it only took about two days to really get over the jetlag and then I was back in the swing of things. To help me feel at home and settled in again, I caught a nice little cold. I mean wow, it had been three weeks since I had pneumonia, I was overdue for some sort of sickness!

Ah, it's good to be back! Only4 more months...
