What a week

I was planning to leave Japan today. Bought a ticket home and everything. Then I get offered a job starting immediately at another school. I took the job and will be staying for one more final year in good old Kofu, Japan.
I lived last week like I was leaving here for quite some time. Ski days, long trips, goodbye sessions and some surprising tears from people. Then I inform many of these same people that I'm staying put. Awkward.
