So much

I'll start where everyone is wondering. Yes, I met a nice guy, yes we get along, no i don't know what's going to happen. I'm leaving and we both know it so we're just enjoying the first and last week we have together, or rather the few hours in between his work/training LOL.
Now to other things. I cried about 10 times in the last 12 hours! I thought I had crid so much last nite that I wouldn't cry at school but silly me. I made it about 20 min. I ate lunch,hugged the lunch lady walked into the teachers room and myviceprincipal said "I won't be here when you finish so i'll say goodbye now" He shook my hand and told me thanks for teaching and he'll miss me and good life and I started to tear up. 3 of the teachers saw me. i pulled it together went and taught/played with the frist grade. The teacher came in and saw us playing, watched then left Of course the kids started fighting 5 min after he left one of the kids ran to get the teacher but they stopped finally and I distracted them with another game. Crazy 1st graders. 2nd grade never showed up so I cleaned and took down all the decorations. Mentor teacher took me to say bye to the principal and he said thanks for coming and I was a good teacher and gave me a box with a few gifts in it and I started tearing AGAIN. Then administration ladies saw me and got said we'll miss you faces and I started tearing even more then my students came looking for me so I cleaned up in the bathroom. Then one of the teachers brought me coffee and they all told me to calm down and they'll miss me and all that. I got up to go teach but then the 3rd graders came in the teachers room and I couldn't look at them without tearing they came over and hugged me and said teacher don't cry which of course made it worse. Then finally one girl wanted to take a picture and told me "you must stop crying because you don't look good" so i laughed and took pictures then went to teach the 4th graders. We played and I said bye, cleaned up the classroom for the last time and went to get my things. Hugged the secretary shook hands with all the teachers and started walking away, one of the teachers gave me a ride to my town and I walked the rest of the way home, it was nice to walk, it calmed me down long enough to get through my apartment door before I started crying for real for like 5 min. I think I'm ok now for a lil while. I gotta finish packing and figure out if I'm throwing away or sending home all the stuff that can't fit in my luggage. Someone needs to come over and take some of this stuff! I think I'm going to cry once a day til I leave. I know I'll cry when I leave my Korean family, forsure!
P.S instead of everyone saying "you should come back to visit" or "yo should get another teaching job" or "I hope to see you again" people are telling me "you need to marry a Korean man so you can stay" LMAO ... I LOVE KOREANS
