Hey!
I haven't updated my blog since the end November... wow, time flies!!
I have an arrival date!! I arrive in Narita airport on March 22nd!
I added a ticker so I can keep track of how much longer I have to wait! It's set to the twenty-second, but I think my arrival time is Japanese, so I might be there sooner than that... and leaving even sooner! Super excited!!
There's less than two weeks of school left now, and then I'm working full time to save money. I've paid for this entire program myself so far... it's been really hard, waking up and going to school at 7:00am, then working til 11pm or 12am... ><;; but it's worth it!!
I've already started about thinking about what to pack... maybe I could sell some things and get some extra money! Like books or clothes or something... I need to buy gifts for my host family and friends, too... I can't wait to figure our where I'm going and who I'll be staying with... I've been checking my e-mail daily, anticipating it. lol
I've already got a goodbye party all planned out! It'll either be on March 3rd or 10th at my house... I wonder what we'll do!! Channel is really excited to play my Kinect.. lol
I have a feeling I'm going to be crying a lot in February&March.
I sent in my COE application last month, and I sent my final payment in on the 24th as well. The next step is waiting, I guess, because I can't get a visa without a COE or host family placement... so... I just hope time flies by! I think I'll start the packing thing sometime in February, as well as getting together gifts for everyone..
I should probably start giving everyone I work with & am friends with my blog, too... lol
Thanks for reading!!
