Letter Rip

So, as you may know (somehow?), Jenn's job is finishing up next week, which means two things:

1. There will be much rejoicing (and knitting)
2. She's just taught her last high school English class in Japan evar.  Or for now, anyway.

Among the various intangible benefits Jenn has enjoyed during her time teaching at Kongo High School (Motto: No, the Other Kongo) such as educating the youth of today, seeing their smiling faces and watching them grow as people, etc. etc., she has received a bunch of very much tangible letters from the students.  Please enjoy this selection from them, painstakingly reconstructed from the handwritten copies.  Here, at last, is proof that I don't hold the monopoly on weapons-grade cute students.  Warning: these letters are extremely adorable, and should probably not be read while operating heavy machinery.

"Dear Jennifer.

After high school, I want to go to college school.
I enjoyed your classes.
I never forget you
Because I love you.
Very very thanks Jennifer."

"Dear Jennifer  .

Good bye Jenn.

This one may be one of my favorite.  There's something cummingsesque about it, don't you think?

*Sweet Jumpin' Jesus, how are these a viable mode of communication?  It took me 3 minutes to find both the forward slash and the carat mark.

**"Surprised," Jenn informs me.
