Ghost in the bed

Just 8 days until I leave for Japan! Whoa.
Dad and Alexia are in town in order to get a stamp on her visa. Apparently it can only be done at one police station, and that just happens to be the most crowded one where all foreigners come to get their papers. So they're no. 374 in line. For a stamp which will take about 2 minutes. Tops.

I went with them, and showed Alexia my school where she'll start on the 18th. We went down to the station later, but I went home after a while since my stomach decided to cramp up. Ooowww... ><

...So now I'm lying in bed watching "Ghost in the Shell" and feeling sorry for myself. Eirik will come over for a short visit later. He's promised to tell me all about the line of study he'll be taking at university - Japanese! He went there for a briefing today.

Fall's slowly arriving and everyone's starting all over now - with school, university and a whole new semester. It feels weird that I won't be a part of it. My new beginning will be something else entirely...

Oh, and I got a mail from my host sister Madoka! She seems like a really sweet person. I think I'll get to practice my Japanese a lot - neither she nor her family speaks any English. But she said they're looking forward to see me.
...and my Japanese name seems to be "Heren"..?

A short note of panic

Alexia, our exchange student, is coming in three hours! Three! ...and my room looks like a war zone.
I've been sorting my clothes to make room for hers, and things from my drawers are now lying scattered about the floor. And I need to take as shower. Gah!

...and I just found out that Lufthansa has canceled my flight to Japan on the 20th. Which means I might have to leave August the 19th instead. I hope they're ready to receive me in Japan then? Oh boy, this is too much...

Edit: My room's clean(!), Alexia's arrived, and yes, I'm leaving on the 19th. Hopefully it won't cause too much trouble for those picking me up in Japan. Fingers crossed! (^_^)v
