Endings . . .

On Thursday we had our last exams. One either side of lunch. Alex and I sat in Forest as we have many times before and ate our last lunch together. Today I'm trying to motivate myself to read the Czech history book and write my essay but I can see it's going to be a hash job tomorrow at school; a race to hand it up - again! If it was English there'd be no problem but the prospect of an entire book in Japanese on a topic that I'd have difficulty following in English (Czech history is complicated~~All that changing of borders and country names that goes on in eastern Europe . . .ugh!) is soo demotivating!

Anyway, I plan to go and see Alex off at the Shinkansen entrance at Hiroshima station this arvo . . . Funny how you can look back on a year and see all sorts of things. Everyone is different, but Alex is one of those special ladies who doesn't hold back on the kindness to the peeps. She's very shrewd and straight up. If she hadn't listened and comforted me on countless occasions the last 6~9 months especially in Hiroshimaland would have been much closer to insufferable without her.
So big bugs and fishes to a great lady!
Will miss your perceptiveness in this land of craziness! Thank you so much!

Then there's apparently a party for Keinan moving out of the Kaikan, Victoria and Lane are also heading out of Hiroshima in the next week or so . . . A whole lot of endings . . .

Took some good photos at the 花火大会 (Big Fireworks Show) on Friday which I'll try and post tonight.
Oh the freedom of holidays is just around the corner.

And I must lament general inability to accurately gauge ages of people of different racial backgrounds . . . Oh so cute but farrrrrr too young. The pain of hanging out with Uni students and hitting an age where by all rights you ought perhaps to be out there winning your bread, how it stings! o(>~<)o Hee hee

Oh righto, back to old Praha~
