Leaving on a Jet Plane

[flonnebonne]

So, I'm leaving on Friday for a vacation to Europe with my family. Woot. I'll be gone from June 30 to July 17. If I don't sound as excited as I ought to, well, that's because some bad stuff happened this week.

I'm also going to be moving to Japan for a year (!), leaving in early August. I am getting progressively more freaked out as my departure date approaches. So many things to do!

In terms of LJ, this means that I'm not going to be online as much for the next couple of months.

There was an article today in the Vancouver Sun about the latest fad (at least I've never heard of it): women marrying themselves. They even get wedding presents.

Some people might be able to make feminist statements about such an event--but I just want to say WANK WANK WANK WANKITY WANK.

Good luck with the bad stuff though. i know how draining it came be. ;(

And dude, are you going to be a fellow JET alumni?! XD You are going to have a blast. Though the acronym ESID is gonna get tiresome after awhile. *nods*

And yes, you should post travel stories. And the culture clash. These are the things you are going to look back on years later and go "XD!!!" (It was for me, at any rate.)

EEE! Congratulations and good luck!

Yep, I'm a JET! That's so cool that your an alumni--I had no idea! Where were you posted? What kind of school?

It seems like there are a lot of people out there who end up doing the teach in Japan thing (or China, or Taiwan, or South America...). So maybe I will post some of my stories about Japan. I'm sure I'll want to vent at some point. I'll post about Europe soon too, as soon as I get over my natural laziness. :)
