One Week Left
It’s hard to believe it, but one week from now I will be in the air over San Francisco on my way to Japan. I had my final day at the JASGP on Tuesday, and then we went out to dinner afterwards at Raw in Philly — very good, but also very expensive. Luckily it’s also very filling. Saying goodbye is always hard, but it doesn’t feel like a permanent goodbye. In fact, everyone in the JASGP is going to Japan next week for different reasons, so we’ll all be fairly close to each other while we’re over there.
The 4th of July was fun… I didn’t really do anything patriotic; just ate and drank, played board games, and watched a Lord of the Rings marathon. That’s a good holiday activity.
Yesterday I went out to Raw again with different people and we had some of Raw’s sake. Wow!! It’s really, really expensive but it was amazingly good!
Today I’m forcing myself to take inventory of all my things I’ll be taking so I can make sure I’m not missing anything. It’s almost like this is such a big move that I hardly know how to prepare for it!
Well that’s about all I can write for now. I’ve promised everyone that I will update this much more regularly in Japan (which should be easy, since my “ordinary life” will be much more interesting while living in another country). For now, I’d better get to work!
