Classes finish

Today was the last day of classes at Asahi. I had to give a goodbye speech, which I was very nervous for. After the speech, a student presented me with a bouquet of flowers. The bouquet is really big and bulky; I’m not sure what to do with it. Then I went back to the staff room. The teachers started moving the desks around. My desk, along with several others has inexplicably been moved to another room. All the rearranging made me very nervous, I’m not sure why.

The habataki (mentally challenged) kids presented me with bags of tomatoes and potatoes.

This morning when I arrived at school, I went to the locker room to change as usual. But when I pulled back the curtain, there was Fujiwara sensei, right in the middle of changing. It was awkward. And all the lockers were gone. So far, I have been unable to locate them. And I really need to because all my stuff is in there.

Now I don’t know what to do. Everyone is busily doing something, but I have no idea what I’m supposed to do. I don’t even have a desk anymore…
