Tomorrow

In only twelve hours, we will be in Ohare Airport meeting and making sure that no one is lost or missing. In fifteen hours, we will be on the plane. I still don't believe this is actually happening, not until I am actually in Japan do I think I will finally comprehend. I still have to gather all of my homework that I need to do on the plane, and I have a couple more things to stuff in my suitcase. But I am ready. I'm ready for the flight, I'm ready for eating delicious food, I'm ready for struggling through the Japanese-only hours, for making friends with people completely different from me, for not having homework due for an entire two weeks. I am nervous and scared. But mostly... I'm really, really excited.
