I bought a ticket to go home for Christmas break, and things are going much better overall. I imagine that this comes as a direct result of knowing that I will be back home, if even for a short time, but I'm going to take every positive feeling that I get and just hold on to it.
Classes have been going well, my kids are behaving themselves (even if they're still a bit talkative, or "bavard"), and the lessons are going pretty smoothly. I still miss people at home, but have come to terms with the fact that I can see them later if I don't manage to do so during the break, and that long-distance communication is still a form of communication. Not as nice as face-to-face, but still good.
I also decided to move to a new place, starting late January, and I couldn't be happier! It isn't "ideal," per se, but it is a beautiful little house with a garden and small yard. I will (if I get to live here) be living with two very nice French girls, a little out of the city center, but in a beautiful neighborhood.
This blog post sums up the experience better than my ill-timed posts ever could:
