Is it always my last day?

Got flowers again. Said goodbye again. Bored as hell again. I had a good time in the end though, whatever my massive failings as a teacher may be.

Taught this girl, Sachie Aoki, a lot of extra lessons, as she's going on homestay. Nice girl. She'll be ok, if blurry. Hot teacher in the background.

My first day I thought this girl would be a memorable part of my Hirochuu experience. She didn't disappoint.

I was Karin's partner in every lesson this summer, as no one sits beside her. before I left today (yesterday), the vice-principal said, "Oh, Karin. Her parents are dead. Her grandfather died last year, and her grandmother can't remember things. You know, that disease. So, she and her sister are alone. かわいそうね？" She's a great student, and plays well in the volleyball club.

Koshiba (did I remember?) taught me かわいいね. It may or may not be Japanese comedy, but he was a memorable guy this summer.

An all-star group of likeable, but near uneducatable girls. Rina (second from left) and Hisako (second from right) removed themselves from the homestay program. An unlikely display of maturity.
