the temptation to sit around and listen to the world's most overplayed green day song is strong. but i will resist! i have better taste in music than that.
my 3nensei all graduated from middle school today. they've got about a month and then they're off to highschool. some of them still have to retake their entrance exams... the exams are notoriously difficult, and it's usual for only 50% of students to make it the first time. my 'cool' boys were imitating water faucets for about half the ceremony, but quickly recovered their composure once the speeches were done. a few of my boys enjoyed walking down to massive applause so much that they walked back up and did it again. and again.
i'm gonna really miss these kids- they're awesome and i'll be sad that they're not around. it's a third less people yelling HEY ANDORIA! when i get to work and a third less people smiling when they see me in the hall.
they'll do really well in highschool, i'm sure. they're all good kids, and pretty clever (mostly). but damn, i'm sad to see them go. it's gonna be way too quiet at school from now on.
Just checking in, hoping the earthquake hasn't affected your surroundings. Mother sends her love, and the boys say hi!
