Exams

The past three days have been exams at art school. As I've just arrived, I didn't sit for them, though I did go to school one last time yesterday to savor for the last time a bit of the atmosphere.

It was sad to sit at prayers without getting choked up thinking that I might not see this group of people together again for some time, some of them perhaps never again as they will graduate or go on to other things.

I also had to say goodbye to Thomas, a Belgian traveler staying at my guest house and with whom I spent a week full of breakfasts and dinners.

Yesterday was a hard day of farewells.
