Ima totemo sabishikunarimasu...

Am absolutely sad right now - am in my room crying actually.

Today was a day of very mixed feelings actually. The second year students graduated today (my prog is the only 1yr prog and we will have our own graduation soon) - which was realy awesome. So good to see them all marching and receiving their certficates etc and getting to spend time with them ...but also very sad - coz now they have left.
3 African students graduated today (I will be the only one in my graduating class) - they all just left now to catch a 1am bus to Tokyo (really hope they make it coz they left with like 20minutes to go, and it takes abt that long to get to the next town to catch the Tokyo bus) - they will be there for a day then they catch their home bound flights day after 2mrw (Zambia, Tanzania, Ghana).

I miss Cece already.
We took lots of pics - I still have to sort thru them later, but this is one (attached) of a collection she burnt on CD for me.

Man- parting is such sweet sorrow.
One yr feels like 1day now.
Twas just the other day Cece and Muso (Zambian guy) came to pick me up at the station, and now I am saying bye to them. Cant believe it.

And ya, soon my classmates and I will also say our goodbyes - I cannot even imagine. I think I will be in pieces I have been thru so much with them. But one thing I have learnt since coming out here, is that it REALLY IS A SMALL WORLD and I certainly hope to meet some of them in some other parts of the world - someday.

Goodnight,

Ems
