Bittersweet.

So it is my last week. It is only Wednesday and it has been a little bittersweet. My birthday was yesterday. It was the best 20th birthday i could ask for. On Sunday, I had a birthday dinner. I went out to Pizza with my team. Oh how i miss it so. I was thinking about how i am not sure how it could get better. I mean this is pizza we are talking about I have been going through withdrawals. On Tuesday( my birthday) it was wonderful. It started out with the girls on my team decorated the bathroom and covered my bed with balloons. :) Then at school my students surprised me. They are great. It was really funny, they would not let me go in to the room. When they finally did let me in they had decorated the board and sang me "happy birthday". It was great. Along with the everything else they got me birthday cake. I was definitely surprised. But i guess it was easy to plan because most of the time i have no idea what they are saying. Then I had some of the teachers classes sing happy birthday. Needless to day it was a wonderful birthday.

It is really sad to think i will have to leave all of them. I just now feel like i have figured out what i am doing. Or where i am. Monday i was looking at the lesson. Each day we learn about a new country. Well monday was china. I was looking at the map. I found Hong Kong. It was then when it hit me that was there i was. I know i have been here 3 1/2 weeks and i just now figured it out.
I am leaving in 4 days. I am really happy but at the same time i don't want to come home. I feel like now i can acctually be of use. I guess that is how it goes. I have never done this. This as in making close friends with someone i might never see again. I makes me really sad to think about.
One the girls on my team has to leave tomorrow. Her class did this whole big goodbye. They sang to her. It might have been one of the sweetest things i have ever seen in my life. I starting to relize that i am leaving. I hate it. I don't like it all. I mean i almost cried at school. I could see how bad she was taking it. I do not want friday to come. I am not ready.
I guess i just have to trust. He knows what he is doing. I will see them again.
