Whew. All packed and ready to go for tomorrow. I'm posting this now since I won't get time to post it tomorrow (with the whole getting up at 2am thing). Though right now, I'm well tired. I couldn't sleep very well last night for some reason and had to wake at 9 today to photocopy some sheets of music so I can practice piano in Japan. My eyeballs are going to fall out soon. Pretty tough packing. My luggage already weights 13.4kg and hand luggage about 3.4kgs -___-
I figured I won't need to bring a lot of clothes since I'll be in my uniform for the most part of the week so all I've packed is... My uniform (dress, 2 shirts, blazer), socks, 2 pairs of casual shorts, 3 t-shirts, pajamas, toiletries, running shoes, school shoes and then the rest are gifts =S
I currently have about 5-6kgs worth of gifts. They're taking up a lot of room! I have to sit on my luggage just to close it.
Since packing, I think I've discovered a new found headache and hate for packing. Estimating what you need when you're away from home for 10 weeks is irritating. Especially when you have to remember to account the things you will end up with on your way back.
I've also found it tetdious to type up and scan my work. I've scanned and typed up what I can onto my laptop to save me carrying it all but I still have things which I can't scan like text books. I went against scanning all my work as I thought typing it up would mean I would have a chance to look over all my work while transferring it into my computer but I got a bit low on time in the end as I also have to keep up my piano practice and had to go souvenir hunting for my host family and extras for others I will meet.
Albeit it's all worth it in the end! I suppose I'll end up not sleeping tonight since I can't possibly get to sleep at a time any earlier than 10 with this level of excitement and I'll just wake up really tired if I sleep at 10pm only to wake at 2am. I'll just sleep on the plane if I need to, hope the ride won't be too rough.
I shall write again as soon as I can when I arrive!
Jia mata! じゃまたね(Japanese for, see you later)
I cant believe that you and Zoe leave tomorrow!! The time has crept up so fast. It makes me giggle reading your blog entry, that is totally what I was like! Except I waited until 3 hours before i had to leave to the airport to pack!! Please make sure you email me if you have any problems, or need to talk, same goes for Zoe! Because no doubt it will have happened to me before!!! Give Miyuki a big hug from me!! I am so jealous. Will be thinking of both you girls everyday!! We will catch up for coffee when you get back so i can hear all about it!! Keep in touch, stay strong, and make the most of every little and big opportunity you are offered!!!! Take care! Hannah xxx
