In exactly one month I'll be in Japan!!
Can't wait! I wanna leave already!
As more and more plans start to fill my schedule, my excitement is just... going through the roof? Yeah, I think I haven't even planned out 20% of my time, and... there's already so many awesome things I'm going to do, I just don't want to wait anymore! Next month, hurry up! Get here already! But not too quick, I still have a load of translations I want to finish before I leave! I wanna go on my "well-deserved vacation"!
So, the only thing I'm really just dreading is the flight to Japan!
I hate long haul flights! (And I also hate long layovers... at least I guess I will... Going to try that out this year!)
In the best scenario, I'd fall asleep right after take-off and wake up when I arrive in Japan. But that's never going to happen, so... I'm trying to come up with things to keep myself entertained! I figured I should probably just spend part of the flight on work. (Let's edit that shit! ...aka, let's search for spelling mistakes in my translation...) xD But in the end I guess my laptop is only going to last me about 4 hours, so... that'll leave me with 8 more hours to fill with other shit! (Although it looks like my plane will actually be equipped with a power outlet this time for real! So I can charge my laptop midflight!? And I'll get a USB port too...?)
Yeah, if I'm not eating... I'll probably just listen to music and attempt to fall asleep... Or watch movies, they appear to have a pretty decent selection of movies in March. ^^
Meanwhile, my mother is turning my "vacation" into a bigger deal than it actually is. She's acting like I'm going to leave forever to never see me again. Which is obviously bullshit. Unless the plane explodes... Anyway, it absolutely annoys me... Because really, she's about to throw some sort of farewell party. (She wants to go out for dinner with everyone before I leave...) Sure, I'm glad to know she cares about me, but... Pull yourself together mom! I know you hate the idea of all your children disappearing from your house, but...! Can't keep us around forever! (...and it certainly sucks when your two oldest children leave for the other side of the world, I get that too... But hard to visit.)
Yeah, the reason my mom is probably turning this into a big deal, is because she fears I won't be coming home after those 3 months... and she probably won't see me until Christmas... (Which I doubt will happen, but isn't entirely impossible to be honest...)
Yes, yes... So many awesome things planned... Let's hope my bank account keeps up with all my expenses too!
