trading kamsahamida for arrigato

i have about 6 hours to do some laundry, pack, charge electronic equipment, and a nap before i hop an early taxi to the airport.

i’m tired. it’s been a busy couple of weeks. midterms, pelt tests, open classes. . . planning for holiday. and now. . . holiday.

sleeping has been hampered a bit by anxiety - we’ve been trying to put together all the details to make our trip smooth. i wake up to add something to the ‘to do’ list and stay up late to google destinations. . . that and dreams of crashing planes doesn’t help.

it would be nice to think that i could turn my brain into a sponge to soak up some of the japanese listening tapes while on the plane. . . but let’s be real. . . i’m gonna pass out, and the flight is only an hour and a half.

it seems we will have a bit of rain. i now have a large poncho that i think i can turn into a tent if necessity demands. oh, and it’s pink. . . but not just pink. . . it’s PINK!

my friends are sprawling for the holiday. england, france, cambodia, nepal, and all around korea. everyone seemed really excited to get to the end of the day. i hope all their vacations are fantastic.

i’m really excited to see whatever we get to in japan. . . i’m sure i’ll be overwhelmed by things to see and do. i just hope that all the previous planning is enough to make the trip as hassle free as possible. a nice, chill tour about the country would be amazing.

kajah!
