can I go back? and can she come too?

It's been about a week since I left France.  I'm trying to find ways to go back.  I guess part of growing up is deciding who you listen to, because you obviously can't listen to everyone, but you also can't listen to no one.  I have people telling me I should go back, that I was such a good teacher, I have others telling me I just have culture shock and that it will "go away," but I don't want it to go away.  I liked living in France.  I want to take Rebecca, steal her, and go back to France.

I have been thinking of ways I could accomplish this.  I've always wanted to do a Master's Degree, I always thought it would be interested, regardless of what it was in.  So I was thinking, what if Rebecca and I went back to France this upcoming year, and I was an assistant again.  She could get a job working in an english pub or something, they have jobs like that, and the two of us could learn French together, (what better way than doing it there, right?)  and then after that if she wanted to, she could also do her masters (because she wants to as well.)  I have to research whether or not they have programs at any univerisities in English.  

I mean, I'm not saying that I am ready to turn in my US citizenship and spring for a French one, but I know this - that I really enjoyed living there, and I feel like I am not done yet.  I want to become more fluent in French, I really like the language, and I don't feel like I belong here in the States right now.  So, we'll see how this attitude changes over the next month or two...

France...
Yeah , I know what you mean.
To travel is one of only the thing which changes the routine, I understand that.When I've been in Italy for just a week ( over there, women are ...Hem ! Stay in the subject ! ) I was really very sad to return in France, then if you have friends in our country, your desire for returning must be really strong.
So, Good Luck , Brian =D !

PS : Moreover , you got a girlfriend , travel with her must be awesome ^^ !
