Back!

I'm back in America.

I survived my first term. I endured aggressive criticism of my scholarship. I negotiated the egos of faculty and other graduate students. I barely made it through the administrative nightmare of immigration and social security. I battled with entitled undergraduates who thought they deserved everything in the moon for merely handing in a paper. I learned. I grew. I survived.

Now I'm back. I'm more prepared. I know what I'm in for. I've learned from my mistakes. I've acknowledged my successes.

I'm ready.
