I hate myself and want to die
Okay not really (just let me make the Nirvana reference!), but MAN, packing sucks. I thought I'd be more prepared for this after beginning sending all of my shit home over the past two months, but fuuuuuuuuuck. I really underestimated the small stature of my second suitcase - it is INDEED small. (ToT) Weight isn't an issue with the smaller one (it's coming in at several pounds lighter than the limit and won't exceed, I guarantee), it's simply size. My bigger suitcase is already loaded to the brim and just under weight limit, so it's not even a possibility. I've packed and unpacked and repacked and damn, for a while I was starting to worry but I think I've reached the point where everything will work itself out. I've had to meditate some of my materialism away but I don't miss it. Much. ...Yet.
My next obstacle is going to be the airport itself. My Singapore Airlines flight to Los Angeles (operated by ANA) lets me take on, from what I can tell, more than one personal item in addition to my carry-on so I'm going to try my best to get my laptop in its case through. However, my first connecting flight from Nagoya to Tokyo is just ANA...and I'm unsure what their policies might be. I'm hoping they'll let me slide, or that it won't be a very packed flight. In my experience it's always a packed flight. =( I'm not even going to try to show off and speak Japanese; I'm just going to pretend I don't speak it. I'm too full of pride to have to revert back to English should I not understand something.
It looks like my long flight is going to be on an Airbus with AC power. I really hope this is true, because if I can just marathon TV shows on my laptop I can get through much easier. The flight is supposed to be just over 10 hours, which is even better than the 11 hours I was expecting. Really crossing my fingers for a smooth flight over.
I cut off my phone contract today. It makes me sad, because this has easily been the best phone I've ever owned (out of the four phone models I've owned, not counting the prepaid in February). My mom asked if I was going to sell it. She really must be crazy...(@_@) Even the camera on it is better than anything else I have (most of the time). I don't even care what I downgrade to when I'm back home. I am stuck in my ways and refuse to get a smart phone or anything with a full keyboard, and at this point in the American cell phone industry the only thing left for me are outdated flip phones. I'm totally okay with that.
It is SO weird to think that at this time in 24 hours, I'm going to be waiting to board a plane back to the USA. In 41 hours I'm going to be with Will again...I've waited for this entirely too long. To borrow his analogy from earlier today, I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. I don't even know if I'll be able to sleep tonight.
Besides, I packed my security blanket already. =( I have nothing else...lol.
This is probably the last time I'm going to update here until I get home, so I'll see you all in a couple days <3
