The not so fun part

Tag: UncategorizedJosh @ 12:39 am

Ok, so I have been thinking about all the stuff I still have to do. I need to buy luggage, because I don’t have any, I need to pack all my stuff and move it to my mom’s house, and I need to get my visa. My roommate brought me some boxes from work today, so I started boxing up some stuff, mom get ready. I have only cleaned off the bookshelf and I am already tired of packing. I guess its a good thing I started so early. That part should be done fairly smoothly.

Buying luggage is posing to be a huge problem. I have never had to buy luggage before so I didn’t realize how expensive it is. I want to get something good that wont fall apart when I get to Japan, but I also want something that isn’t too expensive. Is there a happy medium? If anyone knows a place I can get good decently priced luggage please let me know. Just send me an e-mail or comment.

My visa on the other hand, I can do nothing about. I have to wait for my approval letter (if that is what its called) from Japan before I can send in for my visa. Back to waiting!

Those are the only things I have left to do. Besides try to find a job that will let me work for a 2 months. Well, I guess I don’t plan on telling them that I will be leaving in 2 months, but whatever.

Ok, going to try to do some studying. Going to a foreign country is starting to get kinda nerve racking. I mean geeze I need a lot of practice before I go. Time to study!

Stolen!

Ok, this idea was stolen from one of my friends, Jvstin (take that link to go to his website). So, I intend to post pictures of me hanging out with my friends as kind of a last bit-o-fun before I leave for Japan. There will also be links and other exciting things happening to my friends or just a little of them being stupid.

So, yeah, more coming later.

The paperwork.

Tag: UncategorizedJosh @ 2:14 am

So, I managed to get the paperwork off in time, but I had to adjust it a little bit. I’m taking a small vacation before school starts. I am flying to Osaka on August 31st and staying there until Sept 7th. I will be staying at Taka’s house, and we are going to go to a ryokan (Japanese style inn) for a few nights. Well, because of this trip I had a little trouble filling out the information for the paper work. It was all arrival information. What time will you arrive in Tokyo? Which airport are you flying in on? What is your flight number? Yeah, so I had to change the first two to fit my trip. Which I was worried they wouldn’t like that I changed, but I got Aki to talk to them and they said it was fine so now I can rest easy. Its 3:14am and I’m trying to fix my sleeping schedule so I’m going to go lay down and try to sleep.
