ive never been so exicted , but i will miss alot of things like the kids some of the kids were just so sweet , they would come up and clean my board after class and give me candy and when i looked stressed they would try cheer me up , i skate every weekend with a bunch of korean guys and they taught me so much and ill miss hanging out with them .

RENZOBENZO why are you counting the days until you are gone? If you hate your job that much, just quit now and try something different. Counting days is a terrible way to live your life.

It was the same way with me; the bittersweet feeling of leaving and going home. As much as I hated the BS, there were somethings that I knew I would miss and still do. You will not be the same again. Get ready to experience a "time warp". When you get back you will have progressed and everybody will have stayed the same.

I guess you've not been home yet.

I've come to the realization that, due to my highly irritating family and loser friends back home (both of which I love dearly yet needed a long break from ), home is where my girlfriend is. And she happens to be here now. Not to mention I have nowhere to live and all my stuff is in my mother's basement live every other loser nomad. Maybe I haven't been here long enough, but in a way I'm dreading going home. Though I do miss beer....real beer that is.

Well done!
I'll be going home around the same time as you. I'm very excited as well. The beginning of my year here was very frustrating and stressful, but I'm glad I decided to stick it out. I feel like I've aged much more than a year though.

Only weirdos live their lives a year at a time. How many people back home are saying "Well, next year I'll..."?

I'm thinking about what kind of students I'm gonna have next semester and whether I'm gonna stay in the same apartment next year or not. And whether I'll meet a lucky lady in the next few months...

But OP--good on you. It is a good feeling to close one chapter and begin a new one (provided you have a plan for the new one).

Glad you are happy at having done your contract here OP!

Best of luck in whatever you do next...

As for the counting days thing, I agree that it seems to be a terrible and indeed sad way to live your life, even for a short time.

Life is far too short to stay in a situation that leads you to count the days until you are done with something...I say quit, move on to something that makes you happy and where you can flourish.

The other choice seems a little strange to me....but thats just me. I would not stay in a situation where I was reduced to crossing out days on a calendar....that to me is incredibily sad and empty of meaning.
