Jana and I were shopping on Tuesday night and we saw a Pizza Delivery Man on a scooter dressed up as Santa Claus. We wanted to take a picture but the light changed to green and he drove away. The workers at 7-11 are also dressed up in Santa outfits. Tis the season!
The ALTs are slowly spreading out over the world. Jana flew out today for Cambodia, I am already suffering from separation anxitity and she flew out at six o'clock this morning). Tomorrow, Beth, Kevin, Andrea, and I fly out for the States and Brooke leaved tomorrow (I think). Katie is going to be staying in Japan but her sister should be arriving in the next couple of days. We had an ALT dinner at El Torritos on Sunday because we didn't think we would be able to last without seeing each other one last time before we all went our separate ways for Christmas. Right now, the majority of us are running around trying to get everything done before we leave.
I leave tomorrow, I have one of the last flights out of Narita at 7:00 (or something like that). Hiromi is picking me up at 2:20 pm to take me to the station where I will catch a bus for Narita Airport. My apartment is a pit, I haven't packed, I need to clean out my car, I need to make sure I have all the presents together, and I need to do my last minute shopping before I leave for Wisconsin. I am going to be a busy girl tonight. My main goal is to pack and clean the apartment, I hate returning to a messy room.
I have no idea when my next update will be. My family has a dial up connection and I loath it. I should post once or twice when I am home. If I don't post at home, I should update on the seventh or eighth of January.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
