The last day of school.

Such a sad day! i cant believe i am leaving these people.

My spanish class through me a 'fiesta' which was so sweet. that has been my favourite (favorite) class. Even though they are mainly grade 9s, they have been so so friendly. We had music, and everyone brought food (incl the teacher) and we took photos and stuff. it was so so sad !:( I gave them bangles and stuff.
Then chemistry and photography were sad, but the goodbyes werent bad.
Then algebra was sad, because that class is also really great! we gave them s.a brooch thingys. Nice teacher as well.
English was a non - event, and then environment was sad, mainly for the teachers though. Earlier in the day we found Mr Sahr (he is amazing) and gave him a scarf, soweto string quartet cd and an african pen. He was so so sweet, and said if he ever comes to cape town ('his dream to bring students there') he will get hold of us, and if we ever come back to DC, we must let him know and we can meet his family. He is so sweet.
Then break, which was sad, because we sat with all these people we hardly knew (a few we did) and it was so sad to meet new people just before we left!
Homeroom was amaaazaing, our class had bought us Cathedral tshirts from the books store, which was so nice! it was very sweet.
We finished early, so we sat with Danya and Sloan who are freshmen in my spanish class, but two of the nicest people we met! they are incredible. I have to see them again, as well as everyone else we met!
Delia picked up Jane, Sophie and I and dropped Jane and I off at the Balkinds. We said our goodbyes to Francoise and Emma because they left for florida this evening. it was so sad!! but it was easier, because we knew we were going to see them next year. Then we came back here, and Alex took us and Sophie out for quick dinner (jane and i had sweet greens which is the salad place, it was so good!), and then we went to a movie. Alex jane and i saw contagion, and sarah came and wastched abduction with sophie and her friend. Contagion was so scary! but not like horror scary, just the whole idea behind it. it was about this virus that had broken out and it focused on how the disease spreads through contact. 'an average human touches his faces 2000-3000 times every day, 3-5 times every waking minute'.  Which is true! so even though i was already a germaphob, my worries have increased by about 400. And i am going to an airport tomorrow! Although it was a really good movie!!
Then we came back and i packed my first bag at 12 hahah! Mum, you would be so proud of my packing! it was incredible i was so proud. i packed it so well, that it had space for more things but it was overweight. Well it was 23.2 kg? so i dont know whether that is too heavy. I am going to finish packing my other bag tomorrow, and then see if i can transfer stuff. Otherwise it will just have to do. It was packed so compactly! Im so proud ;).
Now it is 1am, and i am in bed. So weird to think that as i am typing this people in cape town are getting up and going to school! so weird.
