Hey Everyone,
So, I'm sitting in the Waldorf lobby (the only place they have wifi) the night before I leave. The flight's at 11 tomorrow, but for some reason they want me there by 8. I kind of want to stay up all night and then sleep on the plane (so I can wake up to morning in Tokyo), but I probably won't...
Yeah, I'm pretty nervous. I imagine it'll be a lot worse once I wake up tomorrow. It still doesn't really feel like I'm actually going. This has been something I've talked about for so long, and now that its actually happening, I can't get my head around it. I totally don't feel ready to go. But I guess I never will.
I met a kid at the orientation today who's in the same boat I'm in (no real reason for going and no Japanese ability). I even taught him some Japanese. That made me feel a bit better. I'm not the only one who's in way over his head. At least I know how to ask where the geishas are...
Sorry about the lameness of this first post. There's not a whole lot to report right now. Bear with me here. It'll get better.
