Day 121: Bye Head Teacha

I woke up to the sound of Jenna yelling (or singing, maybe) in the hallway this morning, which isn't that abnormal for us two. However, I was more startled than normal because one, it was abnormally loud and came from an unknown location and two, because I thought I had slept in too late and missed seeing Amanda and Preston off. However, I quickly came to my senses, ran into the hall, realized what was going on, and then finally calmed down.

I spent the majority of the morning sitting on Amanda and Preston's bed with Jenna, basically taking up space in their room as they were trying to organize themselves and get out the door. I'm sure they wanted us to get out, but I was having a hard time letting them go so easily, so distracting them was the best thing we could think of. When the time finally came around for them to leave, our whole group got their ukuleles and walked them outside, singing,"I'm yours". So corny, I know, it was a sour of the moment decision. I led the pack, which turned out to be a good thing because as soon as I turned around and saw everyone behind me, I started bawling my eyes out. I realize that we will see these two in a few short weeks, it's just the fact that our group has finally started to disintegrate and things are actually coming to a close. It's a weird feeling, and one that I don't like having, but it's here whether I like it or not. 

They left, we gathered ourselves together, and headed off to the Luna market. Carmelo came along with us and I was super happy to see him. I do feel bad though because yet again, he was forced to come shopping with us. He is such a trooper to have out up with us for this long. 

We had a lovely afternoon, followed by a delicious dinner with my favorite family in China, the Leung's. I finally got to meet Carmelo's sister Eve and she is so great. Carmelo and her are such a funny sibling couple, they are always teasing each other, well, mostly just Carmelo calling her fat, but yet again, that's not offensive here. So, it's all fair game. 

The big news of the night was that I had sushi for the first time while being here! I was beyond excited when the server brought out a big plate of multicolored sushi and placed it in front of us. Konner and I tried this piece together that had the orange fish eggs on the outside, because that's typically the roll I order back home; it was unreal. The sushi here is like fifty times better than it is back home. Everything, especially the fish, tasted so fresh and the sauces were incredible. I was in heaven. 

After we were through, we said our goodbyes, well hopefully see you laters, and made our way back to the apartments. We finished off the night by spending the night with our coordinators, yet again. We just can't get enough of these four, they are too great and so funny, especially when they all get together.
