End of an Era

I can't say that I enjoyed today.

During my farewell speech in the morning meeting I was surprised with a bouquet of roses and such. Being given flowers by an older man (西野先生, the badminton coach) was an interesting experience. Later, a note was tossed on my desk by a badminton girl who immediately ran away in tears. I went to my last(?) badminton practice instead of doing real work. I made my farewells to all the teachers. They said they hope I can teach there again next year. On my way out, another badminton girl said goodbye...while crying. We hugged and I pinky promised I'd practice with the team next week.

Altogether it feels like it finished, and finished too soon.
