So for those of you who don't know, I've been working feverishly over the past few months to apply for a semester of university in Japan. After a lot of work, it went through, and even though I knew I was going for about 2 months now, even while I wait here in the airport at home to leave, it hasn't quite hit me fully yet. I haven't been able to sleep the last few days, so I know I'm stupidly excited on some level x3

I'm not sure where I'll post pictures, but I plan to keep people fully updated on how things go ^^

~3 hour flight from here to Toronto
~5 hour stopover
~13 hour flight from Toronto directly to Japan
~1 hour flight from Haneda airport
to Osaka, where I will be staying.

the worst part? the whole trip is only 8 hours longer than what the stopovers in China look like on the way back in June xD!
