Summer break starts

Today,finally summer break starts. This gives me a great joy every year,Of course I have to go to school almost every day for the many school chores, but compared with usual days, summer break is extremely superb. because there is no class.Only I have most is couples of supplementary lessones and club chores. I can enjoy more free time.that's why I love summer break very very much.


But at the same time, Unhappy moment also comes. The contract of Jet program is expired during this summer vacation. And this year,Olen,one of our ALTs already decide to expire her contract by august from KOUHOKU HS. She is going to study Japanese Language for a while in Japan. So she will stay Japan as for one month. I 'll be able to see her if I try, but I will not see her everyday like today or yesterday.
So far I have experienced many partings with ALTs. And I wrote about that once in my blog before. Again, the time comes, it is so sad to say Goodbye again.

One more parting, I have to mention. is Kristin. She is JA(Japanese American) and she was a instructor of Akashi ESS from last year. I enjoyed her American English and her cheerful teaching style very very much. Her English is so familiar to me. So her leaving is also very shocking to me.

This Tuesday, we will have a farewell party for Kristin in Akashi ESS, and This Friday,We will have it for Olen in Sannnomiya. Yes , of course,I like a party very very much.(でも、ちょっと寂しいね。）
