final thoughts

in 14 hours or so i will be back in japan. i hope you all understand how weird this is. excitement, nervousness, fear, elation, i don't even know where to begin.

oh yeah, the fuckin plane. do you have any idea how long an 11 hour flight is? about 40 hours, that's how long. then there's the fact that i'm leaving on the 28th at noon thirty and arriving at 4 in the afternoon on the 29th. i don't know where those 40 hours go. i will have my computer with me and i will have much much studying to do. i have a test in 2/3 days. and that's 2 slash 3, not two thirds.

i'll be reunited with counterpart mustache (i think i like comrade mustache better) in japan and i can't say how happy i am to have him there. i'm gonna need someone to connect and goof around with on a regular basis and chris fills these positions and more. let the games begin.

and now for the philosophical part of the day: i have lately started to feel very stagnant in ashland. going to japan is more than anything an opportunity for me to redefine the son of schmidt and decide where i want to go. i have no expectations. i have no reservations. i only have hopes and dreams.

i'll see you all in the future.
