Back in the City

After a year of teaching English in Japan, two weeks of traveling with my parents, and another two weeks of (insert cricket chirps here) absolutely nothing, I'm back to work and back to life in the city. I'll be working part-time at an international nonprofit and part-time at a locally famous coffee and doughnut shop. I can't say that I'm excited about waking-up at 5:30am on weekends, but income is income and I'll need it to survive graduate school. Those late-night coffees don't come cheap, you know. Well, if you work at a local coffee shop they do, but you get my gist.
