Me eating some amazing Japanese BBQ in Tainan with my friend K. last week.

Gmail is down and I just cant seem to be able to deal with it. haha. Breath, breath!

My last day at work was as low key as I have ever had one. I wasnt expecting a huge going away party or anything, but a cake maybe? People asking me about my plans? Anything!

My co-worker even left into the pouring rain (the worst I have seen here yet) after work (before grading time) to get his digital camera. I thought, "Here we go, picture time" as I rolled my eyes to myself. Nope! He got it to show pics of his rifle (hes a foreigner, like me) to another teacher. Sigh.

I understand that I broke my contract and I am leaving early and thats just not cool. Most of the staff there are related to one of my bosses, so they probably know WAY more about me than I want to admit. BUT.....

I did get a card where everyone wrote little nice sayings like "Best wish" and more. A card.

Is this further proof that I am spoiled and am starting to expect too much from life? Or maybe I just want to be given credit for working my ass off for 10 months and giving a trillion percent no matter how miserable I was! Nah, it cant be that.

A card. (hanging head and shaking it side to side.)
