Guh
Two more days, don't particularly want to leave. And that's putting it lightly.
In updates - Closing ceremony was horridly depressing but really moving, and I have a few pics uploaded to facebook if anyone wants to see me in a kimono. Had to say my first goodbyes, cry number one.
Sunday I had lunch with Tom and Krystle which was fun (mm sushi with a dessert pizza at la pausa). Tom is awesome and gave me all of Densha Otoko which I am ever so slightly infatuated with, in the way that I tend to get infatuated with Japanese dramas. Hah. Then it was the last dinner with the entire host family (dad works away during the week) so I gave them all their Christmas presents a bit early. Packed up, cried again.
Monday was DISNEYLAND. SO COOL. I forgot how awesome Disneyland at Christmas is, and really having free tickets made the whole thing even better. Except for the fact that Krystle and I froze to death a bit it was a great day. I was slightly disappointed that the Pirates ride hadn't been dubbed though - that would have been awesome. I also ate at the gyoza restaurant for the last time so I'm glad I got to do that.
Today - Got to school early to toss/recycle a bunch of old paperwork and I am meeting everyone for final Kaiten Sushi at Kawagoe at 1230. There'll be like 8 of us so that will be awesome. Then I have to rush home so that I can get my bag picked up and delivered to the airport, then I will probably watch some Densha Otoko until the host mom gets home and I can spend some time with her.
Tomorrow - EVERYONE IS LEAVING OMG I AM GOING TO CRY. Yea, the bus to the airport that I am not riding on but seeing off. Too hard. Then I want to have lunch on nikyan but we'll see if I get over there. Must text Kikkun and Yoshiki to see if they can meet me. Then I will basically pack everything up for the rest of the day and sob like a little baby because it's my last night.
Thursday - Though formerly I thought Midori had work it looks like she is on vacation starting Thursday so she can see me off in the morning. Thank god, I would be so sad if they all left for work and then I had to leave an empty house. I really don't know how I am going to fare on this day because really it will just be horridly depressing. Definitly a `not wearing mascara day` because when I cry that could just look horrid. Leave Narita at 525 ish at night and hopefully will knock myself out with drugs to sleep so when I arrive in Seattle at 930 the same day I wont be too dead. We shall see.
And on that note I should head out to Kawagoe to let the sushi peoples know we have like 8 people coming so they aren't terribly shocked. Lunch rush and all.
