School Is Out (or, Mongolia Is In)
So I’m at a SHOW WIBRO Store in downtown Seoul, about to leave for Mongolia. Yesterday was my last day at ECC and I must admit that I was a little bit sad to leave. It’s been a great year and I’ve been so fortunate to teach such lovely children. For the last 3 weeks the kids have been writing me goodbye letters and telling me not to go, and yesterday they were a little bit forlorn. One especially heartbreaking moment was when I said goodbye to little Sean (he’s 5), who started crying harder than I’ve ever seen a kid cry. It’s strange, but I feel like I’ve just finished my freshman year of college; in my mind I keep thinking that this is just the start of summer break and I’ll be going back in 2 months. I don’t think that things will sink in until I get back to the states. Speaking of which, I’ll be back at 10:45pm on the 26 (into PDX on a Hawaiian flight). But now it’s time to go, I’ll be in Mongolia all week and expect a blog update on the 24th or 25th. Have a great weekend!
Yours,
Dickie
