omg mutsu?? if i'm not mistaken, that was featured in one of my favorite childhood video games! mostly they use old place names bc it's set in a fictional AU Edo Period, but the geography and name seem to match up! anyway, i also did 5 years! enjoy what you've got left, you're gonna miss it when it's over!
Which videogame? The original Mutsu (陸奥) was a province in Tohoku, my city spells its name (むつ) with hiragana so these two don’t get mixed up! We’ve only been a city since like... the 1960s haha. I definitely am not taking anything for granted, and I know I’ll miss them/this town. I plan on staying in Japan so it’ll be a small comfort that I’m still in a similar place to them, but yeah. Still happy I can’t stay forever. The teachers move around so much, and the students only do 3 years here, it seems fitting that ALTs change too and give them opportunity to see new faces/teaching styles.
Now am I going to cry like a baby when I experience my final graduation, final sports day, final everything? Helllll yes haha
