Today my Austrian collegue told me that she would fly back on July 18th and she wouldn't come back any more. This news totally shocked me. She did mention that she would like to go to college this September, but I always thought she would come back and stay with us until then. What a sad news. I cannot say how much I hate this say-googbye situation. We've been working together for almost 3 months and she has become a good friend of mine. Maybe I can never see her after she leaves China.

Last year, I said goodbye to Padma who has gone back to India. Why this bye thing keeps happening to me? This is fair. I just want to be with my friends all the time.
