Done

I'm done. The packing is done. My cellphone; canceled. Went to the post office this morning with three boxes of stuff that's going to reach Sweden in 1-3 months. :X Excitement.
And so I'm left with a feeling of..... what? I don't quite know. It's like my brain knows that I'm going home tomorrow after these 18 months in Japan, but I don't understand it. It doesn't feel like I'm actually going home.... or wait, there it was. I think. I got a feeling of relief and anxiety all at once. Relieved because I really am. I really do want to go back home. But at the same time not. I really like it here and I hope I'll come back in a not too distant future. I'll probably feel at ease for about 2 or maybe 3 weeks when I get back to Sweden, but then I'm probably going to feel like "Oh wait it's time to go back now, I need to go back there! HELP!" or something. I've been thinking for like 2 months that I won't be sad for leaving but I just realized that I really am. And it kinda surprised me. So I'm sitting here paralyzed. But I need to go. Staying at a hotel in Shinjuku tonight, and I need to go by the school and get a few papers, hope they're open. :P

Procrastination/Packing

Yeah, those Gundam-models came back and bit me in the ass real good. Cursed be me for letting them just lay there in their boxes instead of actually putting them together. So now I have 2 boxes full of crap that I'm gonna mail back to Sweden on Monday, and there's still one Gundam-model that I haven't packed! Further; the issue with my Japanese cellphone. Since I subscribed for 2 years but have used the phone for less than one I'll have to pay a fee when canceling it, a rather hefty fee of 10,000 yen. Money that I don't really have if I'm going to send previously mentioned packages. I'll probably have to buy another box just to get that other Gundam out of the way and GAAAHHH...
Also: Poop.

Listening to: NOTHING

Money

Great news everyone!
Apparently, japanese yen bills can survive laundrying. I'm guessing they need to be in a pocket or something like in this particular case.
