Sunday is Coming

Saturday, 15th September, 2007 in Travel

Here are my first notes of the beginning of my adventure to Japan-
I guess I don’t really know what kind of feelings I am having right now towards this big step in life. On one hand, I feel as if I am constantly waiting for something more to happen. But in the same regards, I keep finding that I have forgotten all sorts of details which later once I had experienced the repercussions of the laxity would I have ever been more thankful for the time I am currently experiencing. While even now I wish for the more, I know that the freedom I am finding to collect my mind is essential in preparation.

Getting ready to leave for a year in a foreign place consumes a lot of my thoughts. I am finding that nearly every day I come up with some new detail to deal with. All of this leaves me wondering how can there be so many plans to make? Maybe this is due to the fact that in all of my previous journeys here and there I have never had to bring my entire life with me. Yes, that must be it.

Here is why I anxiously wait, checking my e-mail voraciously because I know that Sunday is coming. I wait for Sunday because I know that it is the beginning of new week in Japan. Monday has arrived on the other side of the world. The place where I hope to be soon. But not too soon of course. I am sure there is something else I have already forgotten!
