Friday was my last day with the older kids. If you had asked me eight weeks ago if I was going to be sad about going back to the babies, then I might have told you "no." But, during these past two months, I have absolutely fallen in love with the older classes. Especially my homeroom. They're so smart and so funny! Since it was my last day with them on Friday, I made bracelets for just the kids in my homeroom class and explained to them that I wasn't going to be their teacher anymore. Bella took this as me saying that I was going back to America already. She started crying and sat on my lap and just hugged me. It was so sad! Made me cry too, of course. I knew that it was going to be hard to leave them all at the end of this adventure, but Bella helped to give me an idea of just how hard it will actually be.
After I was done teaching today, I went up to help with the Children's Day performance rehearsal, and all of my kids ran over and hugged me. It was wonderful. I'm going to miss them all so much! ...Three and a half weeks. Then back to reality. Wei shen ma?
