Wednesday, 15th December, saying goodbye

I was a bit sad because we had to leave Reed's and all the new people we met here. Luckily the day itself wasn't sad at all, so I was able to forget the sad feelings a bit. I was also anxious to see my parents and friends at home of course. The lessons lasted until lunch and we had some good opportunities to say goodbye to students and teachers. After lunch Jelmer's father came to pick us up. The problem was though that I had my 'Secret Santa' at 15:00. Luckily it was no problem at all and I was able to go there. We gave each other the presents we bought and headed to a party. This party was organized by two tutors, so there were about 15 children and 2 teachers. We played a game that we also play in Holland on a very young age: 'de stoelendans'. The students weren't very happy about the choice of the teachers but they were more than willing to play along. After the party I said goodbye to all the people at the party and my tutor. My tutor group also gave me a card with their best wishes, the card was designed and hand-made by my tutor. Afterwards I headed to 'the Close' and we drove to the hotel where we were to stay the night.
