Closing Time...

...every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

Well, the school year has finally ended! For our last day, we had a beach theme. The kids came in beach clothes and we played water games for about an hour outside. Then, we changed into dry clothes, had lunch, watched a movie, and that was it for their last day of K-1. It was very bittersweet to see them go. I have come to really love each of those students, and I will miss teaching them. I am looking forward to the next batch, though.

I have a few more weeks before I'll be headed back to the States. I'm leaving on Sunday to go to Kho Chang with some friends. I'm really looking forward to spending some good quality time with the beach. That trip will be for a few days. I'm not positive on how to spend my remaining time. Most of the teachers here will be going back to the States this week, though my "outside GES friends" will still be here.

I'm really looking forward to going back home. I miss being around my friends and family. I'm also very excited about going to the East coast to see my family over there. I can't wait to be a tourist in DC again! There's something special about being a tourist in your own country. I also have a wedding to look forward to. Woohoo! So many plans! So many people to see! Now to hope that I have enough resources to do all that I hope to. :)
