Writer's Block: The truth is out there ...
Um. The problem lies in that UFO means Unidentified Flying Object. If you mean flying saucer/alien spacecraft, clarify the question....
There's a lot of flying objects which aren't identified. For all I know, said party guest could be discussing a frisbee seen from a distance.
Following a relatively peaceful last dinner at home, my parents are now having a blazing row downstairs. Figures.
Fear about going to Japan hit me in a big way in the last day or two, which is new. It's sort of crept into my stomach and keeps me awake.
Don't get me wrong. Today, a little excitment has crept in there too. I'll be okay. I'm just concerned that I'm not prepared enough...if there's something I've forgotten, or a big mistake I've made...
Both my supervisor and Kanako have emailed me this evening. Kanako is very much 'matteimasu!!' and promises of okonomiyaki-getting next weekend when she's off work, and Imaizumi-sensei emailed with reassurance of her and her husband, Inoue-sensei, picking me up at the airport, and rough schedule of my first few days in Matsuyama--
Let me give you a rough idea of the following three days
(We will talk about it after you arrive, so don't worry!
Just have a look and that's fine. :-))
On 16th, though I am occupied with entrance exam of our
graduate school, but Akira (Inoue-sensei) will help you
with your accommodation-hunting in the morning, and
Ruth-sensei will show you more options in the afternoon.
On 17th, you can enjoy a bit of rest, of course, and if
you have enough energy, I am very happy to introduce your
tutor to you (but we are in no hurry).
On 18th, I will take you to the City Hall for registration
and Health Insurance, and also help you to open your bank
account. In the afternoon, Ozaki-san (Ruth-sensei's
assistant) will help you to move into your new room!
Mostly packed now, just doing the odds and ends, transferring music, sorting out my carry-on luggage. And I think I'm so going to treat myself at the duty-free perfume counter in Heathrow to something expensive I've been eyeing >_>; Apparently, if I ask the store to seal the bag specially, I'll be okay on my connecting flight! (Believe me I do not want it to be confiscated once I get my hands on it).
Now I'm gonna finish the packing, clean up my room so that all it requires is dusting from time to time, do music/document transferral from my desktop pc, and then get ready for bed....
