Got my plane ticket today. Leave Japan on May 9th at 10:30, arrive back in Seattle on May 9th at 10 pm.
The last two weeks have been very stressful, only half of which I've written about here. I wanted to stay longer to enjoy some time off in Japan, see some things. All year I wanted to go to Hiroshima and Tokyo. Looks like that just isn't in the cards though. With only a week left I'm going to be focused on enjoying Shiga and the company of friends I've made this year.
I can't say what continent I'll be on five months from now. That neither intimidates nor excites me like it once did. I suppose the apathy flowing through my veins right now is just a result of a season that, on the court, didn't go as well as hoped. Combine that with the whole surgery meltdown and it's easy to see how stressed I've been.
I'm excited to get back to the States. A few things I've missed:
- Being able to communicate
- Mexican food
- Mariners baseball
- Driving
- Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream
- Ugly children
