farewells again

not mine.

larry, the teacher who's been here since i've been here (he arrived one month previous to me) is leaving this saturday. we were good friends, and i'm sad to see him go. he's moving to austria next to teach, and he loves the german language, so i'm happy for him. but it's still strange. for that one week between when he leaves, and i leave, i'll be the senior person.

i know i've already been the senior person since december when i was promoted, but it's different. it's very strange to see the next era of teachers taking over, they've already coined new words and terms for work that me and larry don't use. it's weird to see the office shift so quickly.
