Endless Goodbyes...

Now the summer holidays are over, I've entered the eternal goodbye section of my life. I've worked for Mebae for over 4 years now and have had a great time. In truth, Mebae saved me from the nightmare, for me, of teaching adults. If Mebae hadn't saved me, I'd have gone insane. Thanks to Mebae and all the very friendly teachers and staff, I've been able to really absorb some of the finer aspects of Japanese culture : Anpanman, Kttychan, KamenRider, Sailor Moon, Shimajiro, Pokemon, Babe Rade, Mushi King etc. Not to mention the boundless joy of kids. Although many of them are exploding with excitement brought on by excessive sugar intake and too much high-speed TV, many of them are just what you'd expect from kids : Funny, kind, innocent and free. Anyway, everyday from now on till the end of my contract, involves goodbyes. And I'm shit at goodbyes. Come to think of it, I'm shit at hellos too. I think any instance where I feel the pressure to have some kind of emotion, I'm shit.
I got some lovely flowers from the mothers today. Mini sunflowers. They're gorgeous.
Ooh, it's hot tonight.
