Travel With Me

  So I've been sitting here the past two-three weeks counting down, and even now I'm counting down. The group chat explodes every time we hear something new from our Uni in Japan. I'm trying really hard not to stress over forgetting this or that or not being prepared enough in general because I know I won't be prepared. Nothing can prepare me for spending a whole year in a foreign country completely across the world from where I am now. I have never lived away from home. The longest I've stayed anywhere that wasn't home was a week and only once or twice was that without family. The group chat was discussing portable internet and what they should do. Buy a SIM card, prepaid phone, pocket wifi, or something. I had made up my mind to just be without and rely on what wifi I could use when I could. My dorm room will have wifi, and the campus has internet. My reasoning was people lived without cell phones let alone smartphones before so why not take this opportunity ...

  I got more paperwork! SO in my university, there are twenty-one students who will be traveling to various countries, and six of those twenty-one are going to Nagoya. The six of us exchanged contact information at the outbound exchange meeting and plan on flying out together (: As time gets closer I get more excited, there is so much to see and do. I have a few fears of course, but nothing too major. The typical fears one would have going to a college in a whole other country, but more than anything I am excited. I get to meet so many new people from so many places. Today I went to get a physical, got an update on my shots (ouch!), and will be waiting to hear information about one of my vaccinations. I was going to turn in the last of my papers, but it was too late in the day. Will be doing that tomorrow though~ Right now I have three weeks left in this semester, and they are going by so slowly. I feel like I keep repeating myself and going in circles. I'm so ready to be done ...
