And the Sayonaras begin...

Well, last night was the official goodbye party for Brandon. He left today. Despite the fact that he did drive me nuts sometimes, it was sad to see him go. He's the first one. Next is Kristen who's flying out on Saturday; unfortunately I won't be able to go down to Nagano to see her. And for this Saturday, Makiko and I are working on the big, collective going away party as people are leaving in droves starting late next week... seems I won't have many friends here when I get back from my trip home. Fuckin weird. I'm still trying to have hope for the newbies, but we'll see. I suppose I came into this last year with no friends and things worked out great. I'm trying to remain positive, but man, I'm gonna miss Team Sanjo.
