First off, teaching is extremely hard!!!! especially in a foreign country, so if you weren’t losing a little bit of zeal after almost a year, I would say there was something wrong with you. Second, I could never do what you’ve done going to another country to teach for a year so homesickness is only expected and it’ll make when you do come home that much greater….going off of that when will you be getting home? Hope all is well! Much love -Kevin Hey Alexis!!!

When it happens to me, I just try to find different ways to approach my job, try different things at work, or just do something wacky in my personal life to kind of 'kick start' things again. The only stuff I know about the JET program though is 2nd hand, so I'm not sure how creative you can be with your classes. But you can be creative in your personal life! Just remember, everyone, EVERYONE goes through stages like this from time to time; you're no alone! GANBATTE!
