I wouldn't deny saying that this first day of school has really made me anxious. It's also a lie for me to say that I don't miss my old friends back in Connecticut, but I know that this will be a good year, judging from the good vibe I'm getting so far.

Our Homeroom teacher, Mr. Henry Lau, was an immigrant from Canada with a Chinese descent, and was very casual with us students, as we meet for the first time.

"Good morning, Music majors! My name is Henry Lau, and let's check attendance first, shall we?" He cheerily asked.

"Go Jung-hee?"

"Present, sir!" A fiery redhead at front answered.

"Kim Dong Young?"

"Ten would be good, sir." The boy, Ten, answered in straight Korean.

"Jung Yoon-oh?"

"Here sir!" I cheerily answered.

He then fixed his glasses and asked me in English, "Your records say you're from America?"

Oh, damn. I wanted to hide it, because I felt it was irrelevant and no one needed to know that. But since the cat is out of the bag, let's just go for it!

"Yes, sir! I initially lived in America for four years, and that's why I was there, but my dad wanted to stay around longer in Connecticut," I answered, and Mr. Lau just nodded his head. "Welcome home, Mr. Jung. And also, you prefer to be called Jaehyun? Why is that?" He followed up. I was starting to feel embarassed, as I took the longest to stand, now feeling like I'm being
