Pathetic fallacy

So the rain has kicked in. It's bleak and grey outside and it echoes my mood. I woke up this morning feeling groggy and confused as my schools have been changed round this week. Plus, it's my last day at this school so I had to get up earlier than usually to get to the teachers' meeting to do my speech.

As I was showering with my eyes closed - it burned to keep them open - I had a はじめて (first), one week before leaving. For the first time since coming to Japan I couldn't wait to get out of the country. The thought of another two weeks of goodbyes, enkais, goodbyes, packing, goodbyes, cleaning, goodbyes, flogging my wares (easy, tigers), trying to see everyone before I go, goodbyes, giving speeches, goodbyes and more goodbyes just fills me with dread. It just turns me a nasty shade of 青 (blue).
