Official time: 2:01am.
Bags packed. I think I'm bringing too much. I don't really even know how we are going plan this out. I guess we'll figure it out on the plane. I'm looking through my little book on Japan, and there is just too much to do and see. So I've got my summer gear with me and my fall gear also. Maybe some research next time will do us some good.
Feeling: Tired...
i think 4 hours sleep should screw my system up enough to balance things out when we finally land. I believe it's going to be 4:00pm Saturday by the time we get there, we still have to party that night.... By week two, I might have to shut the brain off a bit. I feel there's going to be a lot of walking... just hope I can keep up.
Emotion: somewhere between euphoric and confused...
Still have the feeling of disbelief. Hopefully that will go away once I actually set foot off the plane. I love that new smell of a different city, a different lifestyle, a different culture... just different. I hope I wont get homesick, I think i will. Maybe i should just open my eyes and see where I am... or should I say, gonna be.
Plan: book... pen to paper... free thought...
