Packing D:

Well, I leave in about 4 days and I'm not particularly nervous, but VERY EXCITED! I've packed my bag multiple times. From lack of things to do I've also been needlessly fidgeting with various things like wrapping my guitar pedals in tape for the travel multiple times, and.. actually it mostly involves taping various parts of my guitar so it wont get banged up in the journey.. But I digress. I'll be staying in Morioka-shi Iwate-ken, and I've had to get some new winter clothes as well, considering that it snows in about 4 months of the year o_o. I'm even nearer to leaving, and waiting is killing me! But finally it has all paid off and I'll be going with the other AFS-er from my state on the plane. Should be interesting. I'll update the blog next time I'm able to use my laptop with the internet (after I leave.) Till next time, thanks for reading

The Time is Near

I haven't posted in months from lack of things to post about but now I have been accepted into the program and I am leaving for 2 weeks for Japan! I'll be staying with a temporary family for a month, a mother and a son, they seem quite nice. Then after a month I will move to my permanent family. I fly for LA on the 22nd. I'll write more once I'm in Japan. Thanks for reading!
