Ready to Go

Alright, so the final things I was waiting on before leaving:
  • I told my bank I'm going to be in Japan so they don't freeze my debit card.
  • Dad ordered me a super emergency credit card to use in case my debit card's ever lost.
  • I got a new laptop that actually runs properly so it won't break down while I'm in Japan. They also offer tech support in Japan if something does happen.
  • My visa arrived today so I'm all stamped and approved to go.
Dad has a big bag in mind to send with me, and I'll bring my backpack as my carry on with my laptop and stuff. Al of my study abroad/school information/maps of Japan are in one convenient folder to keep with me at all times.

I'm going to my doctor tomorrow for a yearly checkup. That's kind of off topic though...

I've had a lot of friends give me plane advice, like moving around, drinking water, and other things. Feel free to offer more! I've still never been on a plane and it's highly doubtful I will get to before leaving. The business trip I was going to go on with my dad? They decided to take the private jet so I can't tag along anymore.

I feel the need to go eat at several places that I'm really going to miss before I go. > >

Breaking it in

OH HEY~

So, this is my Japan blog. Here I will be updating with random stuff that I do while in Japan and hopefully be throwing up all of these awesome pictures I expect to take every day of everything I see until people get fed up and stop talking to me. |D

So, if you want to keep up with me while I'm gone in random weird time zones, add or watch or subscribe or whatever you do on this website while I figure out how to use it.

I'm leaving August 19th, for those keeping up with it/who care. That means I'll arrive in Japan August 20th, which is the first possible dorm move in day. Then orientation starts up on the 23rd.

I was told that I may not have internet up to a week after arriving. They put us in groups to have our computers configured with their wireless or something, and the groups aren't based on what order we arrive. With my luck I'll end up in the last one, so we'll see what happens.
