Return of the...

It's been some time now since I've seen any of the people that really matter to me, but in only a couple of weeks, nearly a year after my departure, I'm due to be returning to Canada in order to see my dear family and friends. I picked up my tickets just yesterday, and it's the same as before (just the reverse, of course); I'll be flying to Taipei, then Tokyo (where i'll be staying for 24 hours), and then straight on to Chicago, then home. I should be arriving back in Toronto on Thursday, December 15th at around 1:51 pm (approximately). I feel anxious for some reason, perhaps even a little scared (but don't bother asking me why, because i couldn't tell you... or if I could then it'd be a long story). I don't know how much I've changed over the past year, or if it's been for the better or worse. I'm worn, I know that much. My stay is not indefinite, though I do not have return a return ticket as of yet. I expect to stay no more than 3 weeks, as I'll be leaving my job and a great deal of possessions behind (including my apartment, motorcycle and hampsters). I just hope that I can juggle seeing everyone and still manage to relax a little with them as well. Truth be told, I've never let many people close, so it shouldn't be too hard i guess. I can't talk now in any case. I'm at my school and should be teaching at this very moment. I don't really have the words right now anyway (perhaps not at all), but I'm really looking forward to seeing your faces again. Be well. See you soon.
