I’m sooo nervous about making my flight from LA to Tokyo but the guy at the Kiosk made me feel a little better by telling me where my Gate is in LA. He also made me feel worse by informing me that the gate changed and now I have to go outside and back through security. Oh well, I’ll be OK, right?

OOH!! Amy informed me that my ALL-TIME FAVORITE BAND Jimmy Eat World is in Tokyo right now…I wish I was seeing them!! Haha

I’ll probably have some Tokyo pictures with my next post!!! So excited!!

See you in Tokyo ^^

This is my last day in town and there’s still so much to do.

Before I leave for Tokyo I’m heading to Tahoe for my Aunt’s wedding (That I unfortunately have to miss). Last night Adam helped me pick out a really cute dress for the rehearsal dinner so today I told my sister we could go out and look for shoes. It will be some nice time to spend with her before I leave.

I also just got the web cam I’m borrowing from Adam last night. It’s a lego web cam and it’s really cute :P Since I won’t have access to a phone while I’m in Tokyo I’ll be using Skype. My Skype username is becky.talbot so if you want to chat call me (And if I don’t know who you are I’ll block you). :)

Things I’ve done:
-mostly packed
-including some very american snacks
-found the closest american restaurant to my hotel
-downloaded skype
-bought a cute dress

Things I still have to do before I leave:
-more laundry
-pack my car for school (move in weekend is the weekend I come back)
-get LOTS of AA batteries for my camera
-briefing in columbia for foreign travel
-confirm my flights!!

I’m really nervous about flying alone, I hope I don’t get lost in an airport and miss a flight or something! There will be someone in the program on my flight though, so that’s a little more comforting.

This trip is coming up fast, hope I’m prepared!!

It’s too late to learn the language, and forcing myself to like the food they eat over there seems a lost cause by now, I guess all there is left to do is relax and pack!

My last days in the USA will be spend with friends, family, and PBL.
