The Deed is DONE

That's right everyone-- all of the paperwork is turned in! I've made my lists, I've checked them twice, and hopefully that will be the last major onslaught of signatures I will have to obtain (at least for a while.)

The last thing I turned in was my transfer credit form. Like I mentioned before, it's difficult to figure out transfer credits when you have no idea of what courses you will be taking. I was able to come up with a general idea though, and all the important people thought it was acceptable so I'm in the clear until I make it to Nara.

Speaking of which, reality finally hit me today. I'm going to Japan between March and August. That's five months that I will be away from home in a foreign country, communicating in a completely foreign language. For the first time, I felt some fear and apprehension. What if people think I am stupid or incompetent? What if I fail my classes? What if I don't master Japanese like I hope? What if I get horribly lost, or lose my money, or get injured or so on and so on...

But I pushed all of those thoughts aside and reminded myself that this is the chance of a lifetime along with something I have dreamed of since I was ten years old.

And there is no way I am backing down now.

Looking towards the future--
じゃ！
