The Beginning of the End

Wow. It's the beginning of the end. This is my last week. today I taught three classes for the very last time. It kind of felt like any other day. I thought the kids might make something more of it, but nothing really. It's not like I'm going to throw myself a goodbye party. So we took some pictures and played a game. And that was that. It's hard to know what they're thinking when they're all together like that. It's when I talk to them outside of class that I find out how they really feel.
I spent all of Saturday cleaning my place and kinda putting things together for packing. I still have so much stuff. I can't believe how much I've accumulated.
I know more happened this weekend, I just can't think right now. My stomach is still feeling queezy. Brenda suggested I go on a liquid diet and give my digestive system a break. She's probably right, but I'm so hungry!
It hasn't been easy to be with her as much as I am. She's the most cynical and ethnocentric person I've ever met. I just put up with it cuz I have no one else to hang out with. She's really cool otherwise and I'll miss her. But it's also going to be refreshing to be away from her. I feel aweful saying it, but it's true.
Sunday night we went to Lillian's home again to make zongzi. Her mother taught us how to make. You put rice, bean, peanut, meat, or whatever you want into bamboo leaves and fold it up tightly, then preasure cook them for and half hour. Yummy. It was a nice time. She has a really nice family. Here's some pictures of us making zongzi, and the finished products wrapped up. They're really good, trust me.
Just got back from shopping with Lillian. She was helping me find some things. It's a great night. The weather is so hot during the day, so it's great when it cools off a little in the evening.
Please pray for my friend who was in a bad car accident. My mind is even more set on home.
