It happened.

It finally is starting to hit me that I'm actually moving to japan. I dont know why it waited till 2 days before I leave... but I feel it.

all I can say is...


AHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT AM I DOING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

PS: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Just thought I'd drop in to say...

3 days 20 hours and 27 minutes.

Still packing... am I backwards?

Ok... so....

I am very confused. Isn't the stressful part of packing for a year supposed to be a lack of luggage space? Well, for me it is COMPLETELY backwards. I am limited to two 70lbs bags and I can't even come close to filling the first bag HALF WAY. Thats right, I have so few clothes and stuff I apparently can't even reach 70 lbs in one bag. This is stressful! does it mean that I have too few clothes? am I going to wear them too much? will I be forever a social outcast because my poor options of clothing? WILL I PERISH BECAUSE OF MY LACK OF STYLE?!

probably not, but it sure does feel weird not having enough to meet the requirements. Maybe I'll go out and buy a 70 lb weight so that I can have 2 bags and feel normal. Yeah, thats a good idea.

Oh the pain of packing.

"Do I have... yes... but do I have...oh yeah I got that as well... what about... yep got it. OH CRAP i forgot to pack.... oh no wait thats in the other bag...."

That, me friends, is what was going on inside my head. Thats right, Packing Day has come! Although I'm not done, heck I'm not even halfway done, I already have acquired the naggin' feeling of forgetfulness. "Oh crap, I'm not done packing and I am sure I forgot something"

wait... DUH!

Oh well... Even though I know that I'm not done yet (meaning I obviously dont have everything I need packed yet) I am still scared. Pre-trip jitters I suppose, but it still ain't fun.

Seven Days till.

Well, its official. It has hit me like a rotten chicken thrown straight at my face. why a rotten chicken? well... the thought of the trip, as of right now, gets me almost as queezy as the thought of eatin' said chicken. thats right... the pre-flight/year stay is making me queeeeezy!

I'm a tad more excited than scared. here I'll give a visual aid.

-I-------------[]---I+ a bar of my fear.
-I------------------I+ [] a bar of my excitedness! (thats right, its off the scale!)

Did the visual aid help? well thats good.

On the other hand, my PDA is almost functional. I mean I have a fairly good sized dictionary, but I still have to purches some "activation codes" for some of the software I downloaded. Boring stuff, eh? but a techy geek like myself has got to do what a techy geek like myself has got to do.

Anyway, the level of writen skill in this post is amazingly higher than I was expecting. my posts normally end up in the good old David fashion of "WAAA I"M DOOMED IN JAPAN AWHEFAHWEHFAEHF! I'M< WADFADFAS SCARED!" but I didn't degress to any such thing in this post..... well other than what I just quoted.

I'll keep it at that, but dont expect well thought out posts ever again. I'm too lazy.
