This is the end of the school year, so I've been saying a lot of goodbyes to students who either won't have any classes with me next year or are graduating. On Tuesday I received a surprise concert and packet of letters from one of my freshman classes. I don't think I've ever been told "I love you" quite so many times by people who aren't either related to me or my boyfriend. I feel like Corey Haim circa 1988.
But it's not all Tiger Beat covers and Corey Feldman collaborations. My favorite class ever is graduating, a bunch of (mostly) girls who are as friendly, smart and fun as they come. They invited me to their graduation all-you-can-eat yakiniku party, so I got to take some final pictures, eat some grilled meat and tell them, "Minasan, daisuki desu!" (Everyone, I love you!)
* The title of this post comes from a farewell letter given to me today by Creepy Kid.

yah. it`s goodbye season with lots of tears. somehow, I got the idea you would be leaving soon, but it looks like you are around for awhile.
good. I`m looking forward to more candy adventures, because sadly... the candy adventures, for me anyway, stopped a long time ago.
peace and happy hina matsuri to you!!!!!! ( I forgot to put out my daughter`s dolls....)
