元気で
today was the last day of school for the first quarter.
in addition to every beginning and ending of each term, the school likes to do opening and closing ceremonies respectively, but this time there was an extra little slot for me.
it was for my farewell speech.
i told them all that the only reason why i didn't want to go back was because of them. that english is within their reach and that all they have to do is try. that i hope that they have found a place in their hearts for me because they all have a place in mine...
and then i spent the last three hours or so talking with my students, as many as i could find, taking 13809752908520937520935782035 pictures in the process... everyone telling me to write, thank you, to take care, to try my best, to come back, to not go back to america...
it's hard to believe that two years is finally coming to a close neh.
it was a good day today.
one that i'll never forget.

One thing, will you at least read my own winding down before I leave Japan posts, once I finally start writing them? It's been nice reading yours, and I kinda hope you'll read mine too, eventually.
