I was just in Korea for 16 months and I had to go home because I lost my job there, for various reasons. I was very upset and didn't want to stay home much longer than a few months. Now I have been back for about four months and I already want to go back to Korea. I know that their schools usually start in February. I guess it's too late to get a job at a regular school in Korea.
My mother has said "Thank God Korea is over". She figured that it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and that when it's done I would never return to Korea except to visit. She also figures that I'll never be an expatriate again. I don't understand it, I have my entire life ahead of me.
Really, I just feel that I can't readjust to the USA. It's driving me crazy. I miss the way of life in Korea, and I feel that I just don't want this life here anymore.
