THIS IS THE END, BEAUTIFUL FRIEND THIS IS THE END ...
Dear you all,
Now that holidays have begun, me -i.e. this blog, has to say goodbye to you. I hope you will come and read part of me from time to time. Pleaaaaaaaase!
I understand you have all new friends now in the partner schools of the project and they are funnier than I am.
And you need holidays after working hard at school.
But as sitcom Friends' song read: "I'll be there for you!"
Or as Bruno Mars sings, 'You can count on me like 1, 2, 3!'
Or as Queen sang 'Friends Will Be Friends' .
Or as Carole King's song read 'You've got a Friend'.
Or as the Beatles sang 'With a Little Help from my Friends'.
Or 'Thank you for Being a Friend'. Gosh! I can't remember who sang that one!
Or 'Why Can't We Be Friends, Why Can't We Be Friends?'
Or 'Amigos para siempre, you will always be my friend',
Or 'You're My Best Friend' by Queen,
Or '...I'll Be Your Friend, Your Other Brother', said Jason Mraz,
Or 'Just Friends',sang Amy Winehouse,
Or '...you are not alone, I'm here with you', said Michael Jackson,
Or 'Everything I do, I do it for you', by Bryan Adams,
Or Randy Newman?s 'You've Got a Friend in Me'
Or the Corrs' 'At Your Side?...
This Comenius project was LEGEN...DARY!!!
