I'll Remember You, Wild Horses

I'm so very very tired.  Finals are progressing nicely I suppose.  As nicely as finals can progress, anyway.  I've got 5 more finals and 2 papers (one in English, one in Japanese).  I'll be glad when it's all over.

Jen and I made a tough call today.  We decided not to go to Aomori.  We both got sick recently and it's making getting everything-that-needs-doing done rather difficult.  If we tried to get everything done before Aomori I don't think we'd still be living by the time we reached departure day.  Plus, because of timing with finals and having to be back in time to catch our flights, we'd only be in Aomori for like a day and a half.  Not really worth the $150 and 3 days it would take to get there and back.

We told taiko people today.  It was really sad.  Tonight was the last we'll be seeing of some of the people in taiko.  I said bye to them.  It was rather hard not to cry.  I was getting all choked up.  The rest we'll say goodbye to on Sunday.  I'm not looking forward to that.  Not one little bit.

Panna and Pikumin said they'd like to see us off.  I'd really like that.  I hope they can.

In our extra few days, Jen and I will be packing and finishing up whatever business needs doing.  I've got a bank account to close, insurance to stop, stuff to throw away and sell, luggage to pack and ship, a bike to sell, a key to turn in, a cell phone to cancel, omiyage to buy, and goodbyes to say.

This officially sucks.

Those of you back home, feel free to email me and get me jazzed about coming home.  I need to keep my eyes to the future to keep my spirits up, but right now it's kinda hard.



I feel icky.
