That is how long it has been since I left Japan for the first time. When I left after my year of study abroad in Tokyo, I knew one day I would be back, and that it would be soon. However I never expected so many things to go wrong. I never thought I would have to deal with so many personal, medical, and other issues. I never thought that I would get turned down for so many opportunities in Japan. I even at one time last year, started to think that it would never happen, that I would never return.
But now, after 1667 days of waiting, after all the hardship and trouble, after working hard to make it happen, the wait is almost over! Tomorrow I finally get on the plane and return to Japan! It is a very exciting time for me. To think its only just hours a way, has really gotten me very excited.
And yet I still have a little bit more to do before I leave. Namely pack. I forgot how annoyingly difficult it is to pack for a trip like this. I cant seem to get everything I want into my suitcases. Thank goodness for international mail.
Of course, its also a little sad too. I hate goodbyes, yet it seems like I have to say them to so many this past week. I know my family and friends are both sad that I'm going to be far away, but happy that I will be where I want to be. And plus, I never say goodbye. I like to say so long for now, as I know I will see everyone again real soon. Plus thankfully the internet and all keeps us in touch everyday. So its not really a sad moment, but a happy one.
And so, I get ready for the long trip to begin. Next time I post, it will be from my new home of Kofu, Japan! The adventure, finally, continues!
