Goodbye is such a horrible word. Its such a heart breaking word to say especially when its forever. Until this week ive never said goodbye to someone knowing that i would never see them again. I miss oregon so much and can`t wait to go back so I was a little surprised when my eyes bursted with tears. My class held the sweetest little surprise farewell party for me. During which the class president gave a speech and presented my with a gift from the class. The captian of the baseball team also gave me a japanese flower clip thing from the baseball team, it was so cute, and the sweetest card i have ever read seriously something about im their angel and my smile spreads happiness to the whole class. After we took a ton of pictures together it was just so fun, im going to miss them! At the end they gave me a scrapbook and goodbye cards from everyone in my class. I cried for the second time that day on the train reading them. I will never forget class 2B! as long as I live
This year hasnt been easy but it sure has been worth it. When I think back on this year it all just seems like a dream. I know it doenst seem possible but in 10 short months tokyo has become my home.
I can`t help but feel a little distant from my friends and family in the states. Ten years from now we`ll be sitting around and someone will bring up some funny old story and everyone will laugh and say omg yeah i remember that but ill just be thinking what where was I , o i was in Japan and ill feel a little sad. But you know what I made SOOO many memories here that they dont know too so many things they will never understand but I will always have them in my heart.
This year ive grown up so much, Ive had so much fun, Ive cried, Ive almost died multiple times, got lost in the second biggest train station in the world, went to hawaii, attended a Japanese high school, and lived with a japanese family, made friends from all over the world and together we conquered Tokyo; but now its time for us all to say good bye.
Theres no doubt emi and anto know me as well as anybody could. Anto in a past life was an American I swear. I love her to death. Together the 3 of us could do anything. Theres no way i could have survived this year with out them. And o emi my lil thai girl. I dont know how many times I called her in the middle of the night with my problems and she always had encouraging advice to offer. Those two girls could talk me in to anything! we studied together, we broke the rules together, got lost, celebrated, cried, sang, danced, drank together! There will always be room for them in my heart.
This year just cant be described in a blog post so i wont try. this is my last update. I will arrive in Portland the day after tomorrow, but i will never forget this year and no matter how many pictures i show or stories I tell not a soul will understand what this year has meant to me. I just hope that everyone here knows how much i love them and how thankfull i am for their kindness.
