My oh my, your post really sounds dead on. Boring and exiting, challenging and yet not exhausting your potential. Seems like this is just not your thing. I guess I understand parts of why you wanted to do that. Apart from the whole adventure thing, languages are love and learning a lg opens up a whole new world: a new culture, a new way of thinking. Teaching a lg makes it possible for others to discover this world. Still, it's everything but easy, even if - or especially if - it is your native tongue. You know the lg, but you don't know what it feels like to learn it from scratch. While you and me both would probably be more able than a bunch of other people, it's not what we're made for. You have other talents that will also do a lot of good, probably even more.
*laughs* I don't know why I'm telling you this, I'm sure you've known that yourself for quite some time.
I guess what I actually wanted to say is: great to hear from read you again! I hope you found a way to make the best of it and then start full-force into your next adventure in England (btw, I'll be there in 2010, walking the Coast to Coast Way). I wish you a lot of little happy interludes, funny mistakes, seeing your kiddos progress, etc. Also, I send you my love.
