To Japan

This will probably be my last post from the good old USA.  I've got everything packed and am really just about to head out the door.  My parents are taking me to a hotel that is close to the airport and we're staying the night, as my flight leaves around 7 in the morning, so I need to be there well in advance.

Ironically, most of my pre-flight jitters have worn themselves away as of this writing.  Granted, I'm still a little nervous, but everything's packed, all my stuff at home and in storage is accounted for, and I've finished my writing for the week, which kept me up till 6am today.  Backed up all the files on my computer in case of a calamity, contacted all my friends, both in the states and in Japan, and have seen to it that everything is in order.  I've started up on Final Fantasy 4 Complete, a game from my youth, to help with the transition from USA to Japan and really...I'm rarin to go.  Said all my goodbyes, even spent a day with my best friend before this(it was awesome, just in case you were wondering.)

My dad and mom are a little blue and my brother even offered to treat me to lunch as a going away present...which, if you know my brother was a big surprise.  I will miss them, most assuredly, but my adventure is almost underway.  Hopefully, after tomorrow, I'll have more to post about than "Worried, tired, scared, lonely," etc.

To all those worried about me, please don't.  This is a grand adventure that I've waited my whole life for and I hope to be able to share it with you.  To my parents, I'll be fine, so don't worry(that means you, dad) to my peers, I'll miss you, but we'll still be in touch on email and skype.  And to my old friends and friends of the family, I'm glad I got to see all of you before this started.

Now, with goodbyes in the past and head held high, I trek onward...To Japan!
