JUST BEFORE LEAVING

Ahhhh Ok so, I'm leaving in like 2 hours to go to the airport, (like SUPER early) and oddly enough compared to how nervous I've been I'm pretty relaxed. I definitely didn't get any sleep though so I'm sure that's going to destroy me during the flight but hopefully I'll miraculously fall asleep during the one from Chicago to Tokyo. Speaking of Chicago I hope I don't get horribly lost in the short time I have to make my connecting flight :S haha oh well it'll either happen or it won't.

I'm pretty proud of myself though I managed to get all of the stuff I needed to do for this trip done (though some of it JUST before I left, literally like August 27th haha) and I saw all of the people I care about (except for my Ottawa friends which sucks, will totally see you guys next year though!!!)

Well into the crazy crazy world of travel I go, looking forward to meeting new people, seeing new places and being a complete weirdo on the other side of the earth.

Wish me Luck
