Konnichiwa, sayounara...t'was nice of you to stop by...
Eurgh. I just got home from a night of cocktails and sort of saying goodbye to my friend Yayoi. She flies home to Japan tomorrow. She's a really good friend I've made this year.
It was fine until we all left the place and were talking about how we were going to get home. Then Yayoi teared up and set me off so I was standing there sniffling and trying not to cry. And now I've come home and I'm sad about saying goodbye to her, and saying goodbye to well, lots of people really....it's kind of hit me that I'm leaving.
My memory of her-
-meeting in September
-giving Chris a talking-to about treating her properly, before he asked her out, which was slightly hilarious and not taken remotely seriously
-her coming to pick me up from the dentist when I was all achy and groggy after having my root canals
- her understanding about sucky things that happened to me and listening when I was upset
-giving me a place to stay so I didn't have to go home alone late at night when we'd been out
-her helping me with Japanese essays at 3am in the morning over Skype and refusing to go offline and get sleep until she'd worked through the whole thing to help me out
And they're some of the good memories I will keep!
There's a lot of people I will miss this year, and I have lots of other memories to smile about too :) So I'll try not to be too sad. But there's a lot of people to miss, you know? : /
