やっと見つけた明日へ
So it's that time of year again, I'm getting on a plane for Japan tomorrow at 12:45 and won't be back until December 17th.

Of course, I'm a totally different person heading over there than I was last semester. I've seen a lot, learned a lot, and just went through enough stuff to change the way I think about things. But I still can't shake this feeling of worry as I head over. I'm a little frustrated with my inability to do so, but for some reason I still have this confidence issue even though I know everything's going to be great, having done all of this before. Once I get in the air I'll be fine, it's just this illusion that I'm on my own from here on out, when I know that's totally not the case.

So I'm try to adopt the right attitude for it. I know exactly what it is, but I can't find a proper way to articulate it. It's just something I have to force, and the excitement will just flow from there.

So I'm just going to try and enjoy every step of the way and keep my head on straight. It takes courage, so I might need a drink or two, but I'm looking forward to it.

And yeah, I'll try and post those Japan stories from over there. Otherwise, here's looking at you Japan.

I'M COMING FOR YOU!

And ohhhhh God I needs me some Bar Old Fashioned, Karaoke All, nomihoudai izakaya, and freshmen with cute feet.
