I leave for Japan tomorrow! I have a morning flight and couldn’t be more nervous.

I’ve spent the day trying to get organized and ready, packing last minute is a awful habit I have.

I cant help but feel like I’m forgetting something always. I also hope my classmates won’t judge me too hard for repeating outfits a lot.

Of course, me being me, I’ve had some pretty bad stomach pain all throughout the day every since this morning, I hope it goes away soon bc I’ll be so bummed if I’m sick on a 13 hour flight.

I’m nervous, extremely anxious, but ultimately excited.

The first thing I’m gonna do when I exchange my money is buy food, I can’t wait!

I leave for Japan in 2 days!!!

It still doesn’t feel real, but I’m definetly getting a bit anxious and really nervous.

I need to do some last minute shopping for some supplies and necessities like some books to read on the long flight, a neck pillow, some snack, and gifts to bring to my host university!

I’m super excited but also very scared to finally visit Japan....but mostly scary lol

I have approximately two weeks until I leave for Japan!

I have final exams this week so I’ve been very busy and on top of that I have to sign for an apartment before I leave so it’s super stressful.

I have half of my final exams done and have two more and then I’ll be free and can start prepping for packing and getting gifts for our Japanese college host.

My Japanese professor also sent us our acceptance letters! It’ll make getting through immigration a bit easier hopefully.

I’m really overwhelmed with school so the fact that I’ll be on a plane two weeks from now for 13 hours to Japan hasn’t hit me yet. I’m super excited for the year to be over, get my transfer stuff and apartment ready, and head off the Japan!

The more I talk with my classmates who are also going, the more I realize everyone has very different goals for this trip.

So I think it’s a good time to start breaking down my own expectations. If I expect to do every single thing I’ve wanted to do in Japan I’ll end disappointed. If I let myself blow with the wind and just go along with everyone else for the most part I think I’ll have a much richer experience overall.

ANYWAY I’m happy I’m getting into a good mentality for this trip. My semester has been pretty rough on my mental and emotional health, I’m excited for something fresh and new.

1 month and 4 days until 日本! (*´∇｀*)

I haven’t updated in a bit 1. Because I’ve been busy with school work and 2. There isn’t really happening until I actually leave.

However! My Japanese professor did receive confirmation emails for the students going!

As of today, 36 days until Japan!

2 month hype

Just felt like making a post with more basic info

I will be studying abroad at Rissho Univeristy with their short term Japanese Language Program for three weeks. I’ll be staying in their dorms and taking two actual college courses (a Japanese centered course and a cultural class) along with other cultural activities courtesy of the university!

69 days till Japan!

69 hell yeah

It’s spring break for me now so I’ve been incredibly lazy and doing nothing of actual value.

BUT I have my airplane tickets booked (economy which sucks) and a hotel booked with my three other classmates!
