Going Away Party (Number 1)

Today was my last Saturday as an English teacher. Pretty surreal. We had a going away party for me at work tonight. It was nice. I hate being the center of attention though. I would much rather just sit in a corner and watch everyone, maybe have a conversation now and then, but when it is a party for ME, I can't exactly do that, now can I? I played guitar and sang. Oh how I dislike audiences. I even had to say memories of everyone on the spot. I had no clue what to say. But praise God! He gave me words and I made it through. I didn't die. Tomorrow I will take the 8am bus to Sapporo. ... I might not make it. Oh how I dislike early morning.

I am actually in a rather good mood, though you might not be able to tell that from my speech. I was just trying to play Spades with Kelly and I got kicked off like 4 times. AND we were losing, so my mindset isn't exactly perky at the moment. Even so, I look forward to the trip tomorrow. Saeko will go with Christy and me. She met Christy once, but this will be the first time she will really get to talk with her. And she will get to meet Jason. I am excited that she will finally get to know these two people that have been so special to me in my time here in Japan and I hope that they will encourage her as they have me.

I am going to bed now, at 10:00, so that I can be up in the morning... We'll see how it goes. I made quiche for lunch tomorrow! At least I don't have to worry with that. Good night dear readers, if you in fact exist.
