Last Day of School in Japan!

Today is my last day of school in Japan.

To be honest, it hasn`t settled in completely. I`m going to be coming into school for an hour tomorrow too, so it still feels too early to cry. That didn`t stop the tears from coming out at lunch ahah. To be fair, it was after saying goodbye to a bunch of people and taking pictures. My teacher also dedicated a whole class period to taking pictures, so I got to take a lot of photos :)

The classes have been the same, except for taking pictures at the end and saying thank you to the teachers. Everything feels so surreal, it feels like I`ll still be going to Nichidai next week. After all, going to school here has become a normal part of my life.

I also did a speech in front of the entire school at the end of an earthquake drill. My teacher told me about the speech this morning, so I wrote it in ten minutes ahah. Started it out with `Helllloooooo Nichidaiii!` and everyone in my class yelled back `Hello!!!!` Made me so happy :) Then people came up to say goodbye and to shake hands. Overall, today has been normal but not at the same time. Sad but super happy. It doesn`t feel real but the reality is settling in.

Thank you to everyone who has read my blog so far! I will write a bit while I`m in America about reverse culture shock and what it`s like returning to American school.

Thank you!
