Today I gave my goodbye speech, and it was bittersweet. Afterward, some students came by to give me a few mementos and touching parting words. And now that summer’s officially started, I won’t really be seeing them. Except for tomorrow, which is the school’s first baseball game in the national tournament. Everyone’s going to cheer on the team, so I’m glad to have such a lighthearted atmosphere to say final goodbyes.
Been having a few goodbye dinners and parites as well. One every day or so has been the average. Lots of eating, laughing, and drinking. It’s great to have such positive experiences on the way out - makes leaving a nice memory, rather than the life shattering one that coming out here was. There are a few more left before I take off to Thailand. :)
I’ve also finished the school video, just in time. I’ve been in front of the computer for so long recenlty that I’m staring to loathe writing email and even reading other blogs. I’ll post links next time. Speaking of, there will probably be only one more entry after this one, so if you want to stay in contact, be sure to email me. joe at meriwi dot net
