After a year of wandering, Confucius has returned to Oxford.

I guess I wasn't finished here after all. There are still a few things which I need to get done. Oxford has not changed in my absence: the weather is still unpredictable and the plumbing is still antiquated.

Nevertheless, there have been real changes. Many faces are new. In the dining hall, I found myself, out of habit, looking up and wondering when Rich was going to stop by. It will be a slight adjustment to imagine life in Oxford without my boisterous American buddy, but it will have to be done!

School starts in October; in the meantime, I'll be a little busy. You can keep track of me at my other blog.
