So here it is, my final journal entry in Japan. Most of the things that have happened to me in these past few days are really great things, yet because they are so great, in return, it makes me feel worse about leaving. When I left Oregon, I knew I`d be seeing you all again in a year, but leaving Japan is a much different story. It`s a harsh feeling to know that half of the people I talked to in these past few days I will probably never see again, and I wonder if I seeled up all the holes and relationships before I depart back to my "home country". What`s worse, the girl I liked confessed to me last week (Sekiya Asuka), and now I have to go with knowing that if I had one more year, we would be dating...
But anyways, on to more happier things, I`m really fucking excited to see you guys again. A lot of you have changed so I`ve heard, and it`ll be interesting to see how different things really are when I get back to LO. I finally get to go to prom too, if I decide to get a date. It`s been a whole year without you guys, and even though it might`ve felt like a year for you, it felt like a week for me. I can guarentee though, that I am a very different person, so I apologize ahead of time if you think I act weird or different from before, it`lll probably take a while to get back into the groove of America.
And lastly, I will miss rice. I need to get my Mom to learn how to cook "sticky" rice, cause I`m not going to be able to survive in America without it. I swear there must be some addicting drug in "sticky" rice because everyone person I know that has eaten it for at least a year, is still eating it now.
I`m gonna miss everyone here in Japan, it`s been a really great year, and I kinda regret that I won`t be going back here for another year of school. I definitely intend to return within the next two years to say hi to everyone over here again, but in the meantime, I will miss you guys all very much! Thanks for the great year!
