Although Shoko keeps insisting that it's not goodbye. It's "until we meet again" but I can't help being sad anyway. I know we'll meet again, but I will miss having her as my roommate. It's hard to sit here and watch her pack. (Although, I have to say, I was amused by the fact that she packed a bag of her favorite potato chips.) My room is going to feel so empty and sad tomorrow. I'm not supposed to cry until Shoko leaves b/c she wants her last memories of us to be happy instead of crying. I'm doing my best to hold it together. We'll see how long that lasts.
Goodbye Party:
All the AUAP students:
You'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always
