Message to My Lovely Fans + Random Rants

Sayonara + Aishiteru.

I was so upset today. I started crying during math class, because I was just... so upset. 

As I mentioned before, Japanese students came to visit my school for our foreign exchange program. They stayed for about a week, and they left today. I knew that.

I HADN'T KNOWN THAT THEY WERE GOING TO LEAVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MORNING THOUGH.

I thought they were either going to leave before school or after school. So when I heard that they left already, I was so upset. I asked around, and apparently, our teachers had the option to bring us downstairs to say goodbye to them. Mine didn't. During math class, I started crying because I wasn't able to get that chance. 

At lunch, I saw my French teacher [first period teacher for the day], and I told him I had a slight grudge against him. When he asked why, I explained about the students leaving. He told me he had no idea they were leaving today [he's a new teacher at our school]. During our conversation, my eyes started tearing up and I began to cry again. To make things worse, when I was walking into the cafeteria, a girl opened the door and slammed it into my elbow. Ouch.

The good news was that my friend who got to say goodbye [and got a hug too] apparently told one of the students that I said bye too. I don't know if she was lying to make me feel better, but for now I believe her. It made me feel so relieved, but I still wanted a proper goodbye and to give him an apology.

One of my classmates [well, schoolmates] had his email, and when I asked for it, he flat out refused because apparently I would "stalk" him. Yeah, um, I can't speak Japanese, and they can't speak English. Nice "stalking" there, right? 

I'm currently working on that situation.

Another thing is, I was going to get a bunch of my friends together and shout, "Aishiteru!" to them while they left. Well, aishiteru and sayonara, I mean. If you don't know what those words mean, then you can Google them. I am not in the mood to translate.

I really, really, really wanted to give them a proper farewell. They can barely speak English, and I can barely speak Japanese, but still. I know they'll never have the chance to see this, but I'll put it here anyway, because I need to get it all out.

SAYONARA, JAPANESE KIDS! AISHITERU!

P.S. I heard a rumor that my math teacher was going to Japan soon. Maybe I could write a letter and hand it him to give the message along?
