My first goodbyes

Hello, it's been a while.

There are several posts that I want to make, but I'm extremely busy at the moment...

This week is the last week of classes, and I have papers, speeches, and exams on my plate.
The typical college menu.

My friend posted on her facebook the other day that she did laundry, finished a bunch of homework, etc. and feels like an adult. But I thought, as long as we're students doing homework, we're not adults yet. This year I've gained on my life means nothing yet.

Next week is the official exam week, and I have an exam on Thursday and 3 exams on Saturday...
stress stress stress
This is not good for my face.
Not to mention my room.

Next week is also my last week of Donguri, my conversation club. Yesterday, my fairly new partner Seki-san gave me a bunch of presents--a beautiful Genji art folder, a traditional dish towel made of mosquito gauze from Nara, and some Japanese grammar documents that she made herself for my studies. The first part of the club, she had a serious conversation with me about how she's been planning her life lately, knowing that she probably doesn't have that much time left in the world. I mean, she's a very energetic lady, but we all have to die someday. She said that if she doesn't start planning now, she'll have regrets. Even if I come back to Japan one day, thinking that the lovely people I've met may not be here is very sad. But, hopefully I'll be back soon enough to see them again.

So, I have about 2 weeks left in Japan. During the last days I have, other than doing things I have to do like settling my bank account, etc., I want to eat as many kinds of Japanese foods I can, make presents and write letters to all the dear people that I will be leaving, go to final places I want to go, and meet up with people to say good bye.

I've already started saying good byes. Yesterday was my last class with my favorite Sugano sensei and my last Donguri club with my favorite Satou-san crycry... Overall, I did not come to like Japanese guys very much at all. The only Japanese guys I absolutely loved were both old and married haha. My two favorite Japanese men sayonara~~

Anyways, before I leave, I'll make sure to upload the last pictures and make the last blog posts that I want to make. Until then~

  1. Tu papi te aconseja esta cancion:
    Adiós, con el corazón, que con el
    alma no puedo, al despedirme de ti,
    al despedirme me muero.

    Tú serás el bien de mi vida,
    tú serás el bien de mi alma,
    tú serás el pájaro
    pinto que alegre canta por la mañana.
