~:[CH15 - Day 135]:~ Closing Time?

This year, I talked about how I had the pleasure of meeting one of the singers and songwriters of Closing Time. Today, that song played in my head, as it was closing time for the seniors. Today will the first of the last days for the seniors as it was the last Friday they would be in my classroom. With Thursday being their last day in class, it was a bittersweet moment. Some of the seniors were out, which was a little sad, but for the most part, we got to enjoy this final Friday together. As per tradition, I played the Friday song for the final time as the seniors hit the lights and brought out their phones. It was cool to see them enjoying this final moment. It's a special group as I get to spend so much time with the MUNers, so we form bonds beyond the classroom, which always makes parting a little more difficult. Of course, over time, it's become easier to to get used to, still yet, there is always that feeling of detachment as these moments hit. For now, we'll say it's closing time, but I'm sure there will be many who return back for a second round to say hello or even to work alongside me. I am grateful to work with such amazing students each and every year, as I know I am truly Blessed to work with the best and the brightest that my school has to offer.
