Packing!

Summer flew by. Kinda scary. I thought that getting out of school early would make the summer seem longer, but time has forced me to leave home again.

It's exciting - but frightening - that I'm going to be on my own. And even though I know I'm ready to take that running leap from the nest, I am getting more apprehensive. Packing has become my priority because I don't want to get to Japan and remember that I forgot something! Thankfully it's made me extrememly busy - packing takes my mind off of missing people and worrying.

My adventure begins on the 25th...
