Last Friday I listened to "I believe I can Fly" three times in 40 minutes. I'm not sure how you feel about this, I'm not even sure how I feel about this, but I didn't have a choice.
This is what happens when my mentor teacher, Kyu, decides to DJ an entire English class. After his R. Kelly kick he played nothing but sad songs, most having nothing to do with English or learning it. I think Kyu was trying to create a somber mood to fit that day's activity, making goodbye cards.
The kids didn't choose to make goodbye cards, I forced them to, and I forced them to like it. Most of the cards turned out the same, it was weird, like someone wrote exactly what they should say on the board. But there were some rather original cards, too.
Evan's for example was either very nice or very mean, depending on how many teachers from the United States he's had before.

Yeah Evan, well you're my 18th favorite student.
Angelina's card reminded me that I must not be a very good English teacher.

And Alice's card reminded me that my eyes are at the located towards bottom of my face.
And then there was Brian's card. Only Brian could tell me to die and that he loves me in the same paragraph. Nothing surprises me with this kid. The picture on the far right is 95% of my email address, which I never gave to Brian. I have no idea how he knows it, but it's scary considering last year he absconded from the cafeteria during lunch and changed the password on every computer in the school. He once ran from my class and was found 10 minutes later in a rice field after an extensive man hunt. Brian is also obsessed with TNT and claiming that the "weather is Erik Teacher."
I'll miss his antics.

David used his card as an excuse to just draw pictures of food, which I would have been fine with if R. Kelly wasn't on repeat.
Quinn tried to charge me for his card, but I didn't have a $99.9 dollar bill on me or a 1,500 cent coin.
I don't know what army tanks have to do with me leaving but ok.
This is exactly what everyone does in America.
Yeah I don't know. In fairness Simon, you always were a bit off.
So the goodbye card activity didn't quite go as planned, but I'll miss these kids even if they won't miss me.
