The clock is ticking

I took a photo of my white board today....My students have written messages to me on the board all week since I have told them that I am leaving next week. I hadn't planned on telling them until next week, but someone blabbed and so I decided to tell them. It definitely wasn't easy to do so.
I knew it would be hard, but didn't think it would be at the same time. I really, really tried to put on a happy face and act nonchalant, but that didn't work. Needless to say, many were upset and all didn't want me to leave. It is nice to know how they feel about me. They are all good kids and work hard on their assignments for me. I do enjoy teaching them and that is what makes it all the harder to leave...
When I can find my USB plug I will post a photo of my white board and all its messages.
