departure~

it's kinda weird that i'm actually leaving today (SURREAL MUCH?). i'm nervous, but not as nervous as i should be, i think, considering that i'll be gone for a whole year and SO MUCH CAN HAPPEN while i'm not here.

i'm glad i got to see a lot of my friends and family. i'm glad i ate lots of crabs. i'm glad i worked fulltime (and became a lot closer with my coworkers) so i could have money to spend frivolously in tokyo on purikura and drinking. i'm glad i went to philly to help anika and karen move in. i'm glad i've overcome fears and gone skydiving, sailing, and motorcycling. i'm glad i bought cute new clothes. i'm glad i went to kansas. i'm glad i skyped with maddie and lydia lots.

aaaaaand yeah. peace out bitches (it's an RWJ joke mom, don't get all huffy). i'll update once i'm in tokyo <3

flying down roads and stuff

i just went for my first motorcycle ride with cj! HOLY SHIT THAT WAS COOL. like a rollercoaster, but a million times better and i didn't have to pay for it or stand in a line. bumpin'. the best part was feeling the wind on my (very squished into a small helmet so it gave me chipmunk cheeks lol) face and watching scenery reflect on cj's helmet~

also, i just remembered that i used to call ketchup "tata." that must've made for some awkward dinners with my family.

ONLY 1 DAY LEFT AFTER THIS OH BOY.

ah, i went sailing the other day with my family and the starks (minus anika). guess who got seasick like woah and couldn't even move to put on sunscreen, and so is now sporting a hideous sunburn? mhmm. but it was still a really gorgeous day. and i got lots of awesome pictures, which is all that really matters~ hahaha

oh yeah

BTWS 8 DAYS LEFT OH BOY. but japanese placement test for the suck. that thing crushed my soul into a billion pieces D:

mmmm~

chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. 'nuff said.
