Saying Good-bye

I am officially gone from Tongyeong and it's still all so surreal. I just feel like I'm on a vacay and I'll be back to work at ILS on Monday. I feel like I'll still see my sweet little students tomorrow and have to yell at the naughty ones. I am just trying to grasp it all.

The last three days have been full of good-byes...starting with our last lunch with the foreigners and ending with waves at the bus terminal. I tried to document most of the festivities on film so I can remember them always. It has been a year full of wonderful experiences and some not so wonderful ones. I met some amazing people along the way that will always be in my heart. Good-byes stink...that's all I know.

Anyways, here are a few pictures:

Next stop...HAWAII!!! I think it'll be a nice vacay before heading home...a good time to relax and get accustomed to hearing/seeing English around me. Maybe I won't be so overwhelmed when I get home. We'll see! :)
