Fare thee well, my young jedi

I've been kind of emo lately because my 3rd year students are graduating soon, and everyone has been writing goodbye messages and I've actually only got two or three more classes with the 3rd years because everything else is cancelled. :( Most of my favorite students are among the 3rd years (ah ha ha, of course I have favorites). They are all-around an amazingly sweet bunch of students. I'll have to do a big post about them one of these days.

What's more, I'll be leaving Japan in August, so there will be even more goodbyes soon. :( I love Japan, but my family misses me and I miss them, and ze boyfriend is leaving in August too and Japan just wouldn't be the same without him.

Le sigh. But I still have several more months before I leave and a batch of new students to look forward to (but I want my old students waaaaaah!), so I shall try to be positive about the new school year! Starting now!
