So I'm closing in on the end of my third month here. Three months ago tomorrow, on a Saturday afternoon, I arrived in Korea. And I'm having feelings of ambiguity, as in most things in life, I suppose.
On the one hand, despite all the frustrations, I still like my current job better than my last one – it's easier to look forward to, and less stressful, and sometimes downright fun. And I have moments when I really enjoy where I am and the bits of the language I'm acquiring and all that.
On the other hand, I haven't felt like a particularly good teacher, at least lately. Perhaps a bit of a crisis of self-confidence – these are not uncommon, for me, are they? And although I often enjoy solitude and definitely require a great deal of it, I confess to feeling some loneliness, of late.
