Going to Japan!

So, I received my acceptance letter! Guess who's going to Japan? I am! Yayyyyyy! I'm not sure where I'm going to be in Japan, yet. But, nonetheless, very exciting! So much to do, so little time.

The first major concern, getting together the $2500 I need to pay for what the scholarship doesn't cover. Thanks to everyone who has already so generously donated, I already have about $1000. You guys are amazing, it's really nice to know that there are people who care about me so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The second major concern, getting a passport. So, I'm freaking out, which drives my dad insane, but I don't have the right forms to get a passport, but at the same time they might accept it, I dunno. Anyway, moral of the story being that I'm leaving in five weeks, and I don't know until two weeks from now whether or not they need the other forms.

My dad is constantly telling me not to worry, but it's hard. I've never done something as big as this before, and I really don't want to back down.

As for what's going on outside of freaking out, it's time to start planning what I need to pack and what I need to do before I leave. I've never been away for six weeks, and I've never been outside of the country. This is going to be full of excitement.

Overall, life is amazing, I am spectacular, and I will be keeping busy considering I have school stuff, finals soon, packing, and worrying about passports and money to do.

Cross your fingers for me!
