Ms. Andrea and I at the Farewell party! :

Today was honestly such an awesome day! (I know I probably say that like every time I blog but it truely was!) This morning I went to substitute at the primary school since all of the teachers there went inland for training. It was pretty neat because it was only UNCW interns running the school! It was also very interesting to get to teach in an 8th grade class. The students were awesome and it was just fun to be in another environment. Around lunchtime, I headed over to my favorite place to get a breakfast croissant and was hit with a huge downpour. This may seem like a negative back in the states but it feels pretty amazing when you are exhausted from the heat! Finally got to the high school around 1 and found out we were getting a surprise going away party from the staff after school for the 5 uncw interns there at the school. Just when I started to get super excited to be heading home to the states, I finally get to know and love my students and partnership teacher! It is going to be so hard to say goodbye to them all tomorrow after school :( At around 3 we all went to one of the classrooms where the staff had a "dj" playing and desks pushed to the sides. It honestly felt like a high school dance but was so adorable! They made us a farewell banner and everything! We spent the rest of the afternoon playing childhood games like musical chairs and relay races! It was hilarious to see all of the teachers just having a good time and letting lose. They provided us with great food and punch as well which is always nice :) At around 5 oclock we headed back home to meet up with everyone for our big group dinner. Luckily Bailey and I ran into our friend Kirt before he left to go inland and got some awesome souvenirs to take home which he hand made! Later, we all met up at Caroline's for some great food- she specializes in jerk dishes and is just an all around really sweet lady. Afterwards, we headed back to Pedro's for the weekly trivia festivities. Today just makes leaving that much harder :( I will honestly miss the people of this little town so much and can't wait to come back and visit!
