The prodigal returns

After a 6-month hiatus, I've decided to play around with the blog again.

The interim has been fairly active. I've started writing for an education blog (right now, just a weekly news roundup). I taught my first semester-long class, which has been a lot of stress and quite the learning experience. I got settled in to the new job. I've gone back and forth a thousand times over whether I want to stay in Louisiana. I ranted about the political situation and became engaged in local activist projects. I did lots of volunteer work. I have been working on my Deutsch more regularly. I attended to my personal life. Generally, life is picking up. I leave tomorrow for a visit to a good friend, the first trip I've had in 5 years that did not involve a funeral or family obligations.

Well world, here I am.
