Hi livejournal.
Ummm, final days in the us are weird. Feeling very much that I'll miss Portland and people, rather than being pumped for Sapporo! Aaah I seem to really be focusing on what I'll miss. I better get over that soon.
The prep is kind of stressful. But there's no point in stressing, as I remember saying before when I came to japan. Hmmmmm.
I've had weird stomachaches for the third day now. Not as bad as the first, but i suspect the huge headache I got tonight is related to that? Or maybe just the hot weather/lack of food-drink. People have suggested my stomach thing was empathy pain since my gramps got food poisoning... Now he's in the hospital cuz he got his gall bladder removed. We saw him today and he's doing well. I love my grampa. I look up to him a lot and want to be great like him. Just a great example of a human being. I am worried that something will happen to my grandparents while I'm away. I'll just be optimistic. I know they're tough.
My dad gave me this crazy aspirin that has a little bit of codeine in it. I've never taken any painkillers before. It's pretty relaxing, hahah. I feel slightly retarded, too. It got rid of that crazy bad headache though.
I think I'll be excited for japan once I have all my crap packed. Gotta buy some final things too. Gosh dang iiiiiiit.
Goodbye parties. Time with people. It's a bit to manage but I'll try not to worry my little head off! Just feeling the pressure to spend proper time with people or they'll be mad/ill be sorry. Or something. But sherwin says it's most important to spend time with family at the least. I think I agree with that.
Went to brew festival and it was crazy. Sooo many people. I had just one beer - raspberry wheat!! YUMMMMMMM. I went with Sho and Hannah. Sho is my bro from Sapporo who went to UO (that was a sweet rhyme hahaha). I told him about my school I'll be working at in winter that's in this onsen resort town in the mountains an hour + away and he was crackiiiinnngg up. But I'm glad I have a friend here who cracks up about that kinda stuff because they actually know about it. And I love how Sho laughs like crazy over silly things. Those kind of people are my favorite kind of people.
At beer festival I saw poppers performing and I was totally freaking out because I'd never seen any around before. Turns out there's a studio that just opened... so ironic and sad that I find out just a week before I leave!! And by sheer coincidence I know (met as a friend of friends at uo and not through dancing) is the locking teacher. Life is so funny. Now I'm looking forward to coming back and taking classes. But I'll have an awesome dance studio in sapporo so I should be happy with that. :)
Ugh; I'll stop writing for now. Wanna write more but....
