Tangible gifts gratefully received from my intensive-course students and others:
1. a heavy gift bag full of goguma, or Korean sweet potatoes
2. a gift box containing the following: an obviously expensive, button-down, short-sleeve shirt; three tee shirts; a designer key chain; and a cute little cell phone ornament*
3. a large yellow poster on which everyone gave me a good-bye message
4. an impressive bouquet of roses and lilies (currently sitting in a 1.5-liter plastic bottle of water), given to me at the end of the Shakespeare performance
Gonna miss those students. Most of them, anyway.
*Grammar note: When writing out a series, one usually separates the elements of the series with a comma. Semicolons are permissible if one or more elements of the series contain commas for other reason (e.g., as separators for multiple adjectives).
Example: Under the Christmas tree he found a large, hairy, toy dog; a stuffed cat; an old, green sweater; and the Xbox for which he'd been pining.
One reference to confirm the above: here.
