Today I taught my last classes at Okuganaya Elementary, because next week will be a goodbye party for me. At the end of my classes the teachers told the students “now shake hands, and look at his eyes!”. This led to some students staring unblinkingly at me, and others basically crouching on the ground with their hand up for me to shake.
A few minutes ago the tea lady came up to me, gave me a can of Aquarius, and had one of the other teachers tell me she wouldn’t be here next Friday so this is the last time we would meet. Then I shook her hand a few times, and took a few pictures with her.
I think in exactly one week I will be pretty sad.
